Please stay in Delhi.
The 2024 general elections in India were held in April-June and the results were announced on 4-5 June. wikipedia. Since then Prime Minister Narendra Modi has visited Italy (13-14 June), Russia & Austria (08-10 July) and Poland and Ukraine (21-24 Aug). pmindia.gov.in. And again, "PM Modi arrived in Delhi on Thursday (05 Sept) after concluding his three-day visit to Singapore and Brunei". NDTV. Within India, Mr Modi visited Andhra Pradesh & Odisha (12 June), Uttar Pradesh & Bihar (18-19 June), Jammu & Kashmir (20-21 June), Maharashtra (13 July), Ladakh (26 July), Kerala (10 Aug), Maharashtra & Rajasthan (25 Aug) and Maharashtra again on 30 Aug. pmindia.gov.in. While we deeply appreciate Mr Modi's tireless traveling for the nation, the question is, "Who is running the country while he is absent from his office in Delhi?" "At least six people were killed in the Jiribam district of strife-torn Manipur yesterday, officials aware of the matter said." HT. "Suspected tribal militants launched rocket attacks in Manipur's Bishnupur district on 05 September," "One rocket landed in the home of the state's first chief minister Mairembam Koireng, killing 70 -year-old priest RK Rabei." TOI. "Armed militia groups in the conflict-ridden state of Manipur likely used 'impact explosives' attached to expensive drones that can fly at higher altitude to drop the bombs, security officials said." HT. Since 2021, after an army coup removed the elected government, Myanmar has been embroiled in a civil war in which thousands have been killed and even more displaced. wikipedia. "Modi government has decided to construct a fence along the entire 1643 kilometer long Indo-Myanmar border." pib.gov.in. "In the past 32 months, 70 people, including 52 security personnel and 18 civilians have been killed in terror incidents in Jammu region." As Jammu has been more peaceful than the Kashmir Valley, this could be part of a broader Pakistani strategy. DH. Since the brutal rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata on 9 August (wikipedia), "The protests in West Bengal, initially sparked by junior doctors demanding justice, have escalated into widespread agitation involving people from all walks of life." TSG. Across the border in Bangladesh, after an army coup ousted Sheikh Hasina from power, the militant Jamaat-e-Islami is rapidly gaining power. HT. "A class-12 student named Aryan Mishra from Haryana's Faridabad was chased and shot dead by members of a cow vigilante group on August 23 near Haryana's Ghadpuri. The incident occurred along the Delhi-Agra highway where the accused chased the victim's car for 30 km." HT. All these incidents may seem isolated but taken together they threaten the external and internal security of India. While Mr Modi's regular "Mann ki Baat" (Ideas of the Mind) (pm india.gov.in) are very enlightening for 'we the people', we would feel safer if Mr Modi would address all these conflicts and take concrete steps for their resolution. Unnatural deaths are scary.
