New Delhi has gotten a makeover ahead of this week’s summit of the Group of 20 nations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government hopes the effort, with a $120 million price tag, will help showcase the world’s most populous nation’s cultural prowess and strengthen its position on the global stage.
3 Day shutdown is mostly for security reasons and to avoid discomfort to the public as there are certain routes that are blocked for VVIP movement. As for the urgent Medical Care, alternative routes provided and 4x emergency vehicles are on standby if there is any need. You always try and present your house in a good way whenever a guest visits. Stop with this blind hatred.
Empathy is not hatred. Lacking empathy is apathy. Why are you apathetic to the have-nots whose lives have been shattered just to paint a pretty picture for a 3-day event?
This is a failure of the govt and the admin to follow the law and provide alternative shelters for the people made homeless.
Do you prettify your house for guests by kicking out family members and stopping daily-wage family members from earning their living?
Some routes being blocked is not the same as shutting down the capital city of a country. Shutting down the city genuinely distresses people.
Neither Modi nor his bhakts care a jot for the people of India.
I don’t think you have lived in Delhi or even visited the city. It’s easy to quote from articles and btw it’s called hate when you make comments like this when obviously you have not done any research on the matter and last line of your comments just proves my point.
I live in Delhi, the research I’ve done about this shutdown is from right outside my doorstep… Do you know that all online deliveries, excluding medical, will be banned for the duration? that means gigworkers, whose families depend on their daily earnings, will lose out on their wages? and Delhi’s eateries and restaurants will also be shutdown?
Why should any bhakt know? They only know modi-modi-modi.
We’ve seen how much Modi “cares” about Indians from his inactions on Manipur which is in a ethnic & communal genocial civll war since May 3. Kukis have been ethnically cleansed from Imphal Valley. Bhakts dont give a toss about that. They only know modi-modi-modi.
Wait did you say a fucking lock down is to prevent the discomfort of having a few roads blocked?
“Oh I know it’s annoying you can’t go on this certain path, so to make it better for you we’ve decided you can’t go anywhere at all!”
Also pretty sure the house is the people that live in it, not some arsehole politicians.
Eh, there’s blind hatred, and then there’s sweeping the unsightlies under the rug.
They’re taking away rights from people who aren’t “sightly” to make the neighborhoods and country seem better.
Other countries have done the same, doesn’t make it right in the slightest.
If anything those other country leaders should know what the country they are visiting is going through, thick and thin. Everything can’t be all Sunshine and roses, fuck whatever positive posture they’re trying to put on whatever trade system.
There is a real cost to this system and these people they’re trying to sweep under the rug are that cost. They should see that. No matter how “unsightly” that is.
Let’s stop pretending we live in some magically world where we can ignore the things we don’t like. They still exist.
My comment was on hatred and skewed opinion of an individual.
Have some self-awareness. if you equate empathy for the have-nots to hatred, then what does it tell about you?
