Britain’s Opposition Labour Party on Thursday launched its manifesto for the December 12 General Election with a pledge to institute an audit into the country’s colonial past, which would include an apology to India for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar 100 years ago.https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/uks-labour-party-manifesto-pledges-apology-for-jallianwala-bagh-massacre/article30040825.ece/amp/

You’d think it would be impossible to come up with an idea worse than demonetisation. But Modi is up to it again, beating himself at the art of terrible ideas. It’s not NRC, it’s aNaRChy. It needs to be opposed tooth and nail.
