Annual reminder to your honor that your job is to preside over the Rajya Sabha. You have no locus standi on legal opinions or current affairs. Defense of the government is the job of the law officers of the Union. Also, no Court has dictated anything to the President.
President of India is a very elevated position. President takes oath to preserve, protect and defend the constitution. This oath is taken only by the President and the Governors. If you look at the Indian Constitution, the President is the first part of the Parliament. Second

Yes, one who has appeared in the most iconic cases in constitutional law before the Supreme Court of India. Renowned expert, might even have written textbooks.
Let us not forget, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar is an expert in constitutional law.

8/n: However, history will certainly be kinder to the man and his remarkable contributions to Indian polity. His civility, accountability, transparency, empathy, and erudition stand out. Rest in power, MMS.

7/n: Mistakes do happen, and I will criticize Dr. Singh for not foreseeing the use of UAPA as a targeting machinery for political opponents and for the extra-constitutional National Advisory Council.

6/n: Parliamentary attendance of the Prime Minister, his regular meetings with the press where he took unscripted questions, the standards of political discourse that he upheld - all remain as stellar contributions to the history of our parliamentary democracy.

5/n: Dr. Singh’s Council of Ministers also stands testament to the standards of accountability and transparency that he established. Forcing ministers who were accused of corruption to resign, at the cost of offending alliance partners, deserves a special mention.

4/n: MGNREGA, JNNURM, National Rural Health Mission, and the Land Acquisition Act - all deserve a standing ovation. Might I also remind of the historic 2008 US-India Civil Nuclear Deal, at the cost of destabilizing his own government.

3/n: From the Food Security Act to the RTE, from Jan Lokpal Bill to the RTI, from Forest Rights Act to the Nirbhaya Act, Dr. Singh’s government had pushed through some of the most remarkable legislations in recent history.

2/n: While much has been said and written about his extraordinary contributions as the Finance Minister, Dr. Singh’s Council of Ministers stands out as having pioneered some of India’s most progressive, forward-thinking, and remarkable legislations OF ALL TIMES.

1/n: “History will be kinder to me”.As the media (lapdogs) mourn Dr. Singh’s demise and selectively talk about his contributions to India’s 1991 economic liberalization, it is also fit to recall the phenomenal Prime Minister that he was

This is how you deliberately erode all respect and heft of the State completely. And once the State is reduced to a “leaderboard” playing to the galleries of the mass, the State has nothing to do but wither away. Also idk why this moron makes up half of my feed rn.
All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency. Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know!. We will also have a leaderboard for most insanely dumb.
