Thupstan Chhewang
My attention has been drawn to certain references made about me by Mr Nurboo Gialchan, Congress MLC, in the article “Divisional status for Ladakh-a rejoinder” on March 21.
Mr Gialchan has grossly mispresented facts. I take this opportunity to put the record straight:
(a) First of all he has quoted my party colleague, Mr Jamyang Tsering
Namgyal’s reference to my speech at Leh’s Polo Ground, which is the most popular venue for political parties in Leh to unfold their agenda, and written “Sh. Thupstan Chhewang might have said such things at Polo Ground or anywhere else. But he keeps mum where his voice matters most.” It is not surprising that Mr Gi... |

| | The tears of a denied mandate | | A child crying is understandable, but Jaswant Singh is too grown up a man to cry in public | |
By Amit Kushari
A kid can shed tears in public if his mummy doesn't give him a chocolate. But it is not expected that a senior politician with 50 years experience in public life will do so if his political party is unable to give him a ticket in the elections. Usually our politicians try to put up a brave 'dabang' image in public and would never reveal their weaknesses. Last week when we saw Shri Jaswant Singh shedding tears in public because BJP had denied him a ticket from Barmer, people were really shocked. Jaswant Singh had served in various senior positions in the party and in the government of India. BJP had made him external affairs minister of India and he had also se... |
