'Khel hi Khel': From Khel Ratna to Bharat Ratna; Ayodhya Temple not Before 2024
Do you think the attention of the Central Government towards hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand is long-standing? Has this government ever considered giving the Bharat Ratna to Dhyan Chand in the last seven years? Pranab Mukherjee, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and even Nanaji Deshmukh were awarded the Bharat Ratna. But neither did the BJP nor Congress governments think of giving the hockey maestro such an honour, even in the posthumous category! Giving respect, naming or changing a name is a gimmick from our country's politics! It is a 'play' of prejudices and advantages. Was this issue raised to divert public attention from the Pegasus espionage scandal and the farmers' movement?
We also have a look at the BJP's 'Ayodhya scandal'! Reports say that despite there being enough money and time, the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya will not be completed before 2024. Incidentally, the next Lok Sabha elections are also due in 2024. Senior journalist Urmilesh presents an analysis in this episode of #HafteKiBaat.
