Pesti-Yeh Pyas Hai Badi

Once again by the laudable efforts of CSE about the findings on the pesticides in the colas, have shown how these giants deride the BIS prescribed standards. The standards they have to follow in the western countries are never met here and still the Indian customer runs around emulating west. They in fact never try to meet those standards deliberately as it involves more investment of money. All they are concerned about are the profits they carry back home. A deterrent example should be set that in future nobody tries to breach standards and dupe people. Also this story should be well blown up by the media to ravage the money that is put by them in advertisements instead of trying to follow the standards.

Bofors Ghost

THE ghost of the Bofors scandal has long haunted the nation. Every time a new book/interview emerges, a whole new series of allegations and cover-ups come into play. Yet the information thrown up never leads us anywhere. How long do our politicians plan to fool us like this?
