Asking questions.

"British Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned Thursday (20 October) after just six weeks in office, following a disastrous and rapidly reversed economic plan that sent the pound plunging and her government into chaos." NBC. Before Truss, Boris Johnson was forced to resign even though, "Less than three years ago, Boris Johnson led the Conservatives to their biggest election victory since 1987." BBC. Because, Johnson tried to protect the Conservative deputy chief whip Chris Pincher who "was accused of groping two men, which led to a flurry of allegations, some dating back years." "In April of this year, the prime minister was fined for breaking lockdown rules, after attending a gathering on his birthday in June 2020." Also, "Boris Johnson will be investigated by a Commons committee over claims he misled Parliament over parties in Downing Street during lockdown. MPs approved the Privileges Committee launching an inquiry once the police have finished their own investigation into the gatherings." Unbelievable in India. Even more unbelievable, "Former President Donald Trump was issued a subpoena Friday by the House select committee investigating the Jan 6 riot at the US Capitol." CNBC. Not just that, "Former President Donald Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment right more than 440 times...in refusing to answer questions at a deposition by lawyers for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is investigating Trump Organization's business practices, a source with knowledge of the session told NBC news." In June last year, "Across India, amid a devastating second wave of Covid-19, hospitals ran out of beds and critical supplies, contributing to the deaths of untold thousands of people and worsening an already tragic outbreak. By one count oxygen shortages alone have killed at least 600 people over the past two months." New York Times. Many Indians "were sickened by him (Prime Minister Modi) addressing tens of thousands of people at state election rallies and letting Hindu devotees congregate for a festival." Reuters. In May 2021, "India's holiest river, the Ganges, has been swollen with bodies in recent days. Hundreds of corpses were found floating in the river or buried in the sand of its banks." BBC. We are not talking parties here, we are talking of millions of hapless citizens gasping to death. Hence, "Around 300 top officials of the central government participated in a workshop titled Effective Communications", to learn how to create a "positive image of the government", manage "perception through effectively highlighting positive stories and achievements", and making the government "be seen to be sensitive, bold, quick, responsive, hard-working etc." HT. "The Indian High Commission in Australia has sent out a bristling rejoinder to The Australian newspaper for an article criticising the Indian leadership's handling of the pandemic." Telegraph India. Indian newspapers wouldn't dare. During the Spanish flu, "In September 1918, the Ganga started to bob with corpses as the Bombay Fever returned with manic vengeance." TOI. The British and Americans can ask questions. We are still a conquered people.
