One hundred percent tolerance.

Newly married James, 27 years old, and Alex Gaskell, 24 years old, from Britain were found dead in their beds, with drugs strewn everywhere, in a hotel near the Taj Mahal in Agra. The Taj Mahal is an elaborate tomb after all. Both were teachers with first class degrees and had a future to look forward to. Some tweets from James Gaskell show how easy it is to get drugs in India. July 15," Xanax, Pregabalin and Mogadon. Long Island Tea, beers, curry - a winning combination. Not suitable for children." October 19," One prescription in India ( after you have told the doctor what to write ) will take you faaaaar....Codeine under the counter here. With Valium, Xanax, and Lyrica. Winning." Well, he lost out in the end. Along with his wife, who apparently did not like drugs. Laws are so strict in India that it is impossible to get morphine type drugs for terminal care of dying patients in pain, so that hospices do not exist in this country. Yet, addicts can procure any amount of drugs. When there are so many temptations provided by our laws you cannot blame people. In UP poor families are awarded Rs 30,000 if the breadwinner dies. So 118 applications were received where death certificates were forged. Under another scheme 44 girls applied for Rs 10,000 for getting married. Also fake. Meanwhile the government is said to be preparing to release names of all those with black money in Swiss banks. The newly elected government in Haryana is going to probe Mr Robert Vadra's land deals. We hope that this matter is settled conclusively and is not kept hanging as a political weapon. A Railway Board officer has been charged with taking bribes by the CBI. A search revealed Rs 1 million stuffed inside drainpipes. Flying Air India, our national airlines, is becoming dangerous, not just because 102 pilots have allowed their licenses to lapse, but, more alarmingly, because pilots are fighting each other inside cockpits over discrepancies in salaries while flying. While officers are busy fighting or filling their own pockets it is not surprising that enemies will also take advantage. While our newspapers are filled with indignation at every violation of our border by China they seem extremely tolerant of Pakistanis and Bangladeshis coming into our country in droves, to commit crimes. A gang of Pakistanis was arrested conning people out of millions of rupees and it was pure luck that 2 bombs exploded unexpectedly, killing 2 Bangladeshi terrorists, which has prevented a slaughter. 800 crude bombs were discovered in Birbhum Health Centre. Is it possible that the Trinamul government in Kolkata did not know? The Americans have a zero tolerance policy towards crime while we have maximum tolerance. God help us.
