VK Singh's 'Dog-Dalit' Analogy: Is he a Political Liability for BJP?

On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: Does anything under the sun justify General VK Singh's latest bombshell? When asked a question on the murder of two Dalit children in Faridabad who were burnt alive, the minister said if someone throws stones at a dog, the government is not responsible. The minister did explain the context of his remarks, but at a time when the PM has cautioned his ministers to be careful with the remarks that they make, we ask: Is the former Army Chief now a political liability for the BJP?

Kiren Rijiju on North Indians: Promoting Stereotypes Or Stating Fact?

Some would say that the Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju was spot on when he said he agrees with remarks that people in North India enjoy breaking rules and that nothing changes until they face the danda. On The Buck Stops Here, we debate whether the minister was stating the obvious or promoting cultural stereotypes.
