MyVoice: Views of our readers 06th June 2025
We should use AI (precautionary - smart - innovative) management to stop the regular over-crowding related stampede deaths in India. AI experts together must give a solution to prevent these deaths. The capacity of Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru is 32,000. 10 times crowd (of 3 lakhs) had arrived on 4 Jun 2025 (Thu) to watch the IPL-2025 victory celebrations of RCB team. In any event, setting up of big screens (both) inside and outside the venue (stadium), for watching the show live with clarity could have nullified stampede deaths. List of stampede deaths in the recent past in India include: Hathras (Baba ashram: UP), Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam (TTD hill top: AP), Kumbh Mela (UP), Delhi Railway Station, Goa temple ... now, Bengaluru stadium.

Why Rahul, why?
It remains an enigma as to what is driving the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha to speak blatant lies when the whole world and the enemy itself is stunned with our series of military onslaughts for over one week incessantly. Does it at all befit a leader of his rank to speak so treacherously and inimical towards about his own country?

Discuss 'Operation Sindoor' honourably
Sixteen opposition parties have stepped up pressure on the Modi government demanding a special Parliamentary session in the wake of Operation Sindoor. The demand is not without merit as the entire nation would like to ascertain from their representatives about the daring Operation undertaken to uphold national honour. Following the request, the Centre has called for the Monsoon Session from July 21 to August 12. The onus is now entirely on the elected representatives belonging to the ruling front and opposition to engage in the parliamentary proceedings with utmost decorum and etiquette, much different from the bedlam and slugfest usually witnessed in Parliamentary sessions these days. That will be the most honourable method for elected representatives to pay respects to victims of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism at Pahalgam.

Patriotism and emotions
The feeling of patriotism is important for the freedom of a country. A patriotic person will always be ready to sacrifice his/her life for the love for his/her country. We must love our country and at the same time we must not hate others. Wars break out between two nations for want of love for other countries. We should, therefore, love our country as well as those of others.

Made in India
I would like to congratulate the incredible team behind the Chenab Rail Bridge, being inaugurated by PM Modi on June 6. It is a marvel that stands taller than the Eiffel Tower. With its impressive height of 359 m and a length of 1315 m, 3000 tonnes of steel used, this engineering feat showcases India's innovation. Kudos to all involved!

Who will bell the cat?
This has reference to the article on 'Plastic' . Since 1957, plastic has been promoted ,sold and it is still used in day -to day life . There are several colleges offering various courses, from Diploma to PG related to plastic. Our country has around 50,000 processing units employing thousands. .Union Minister of Commerce and Industry mentioned that the domestic plastic sector in our country has tremendous potential to grow .Thus the plastic is everywhere . So far no one has found an equivalent material which can replace the plastic in total .As long as the plastic prospers ,it's so called ill effects too become uncontrollable.

Set free undertrials from prisons
As per NCRB data nearly three fourth of the prisoners are undertrials, and many among them are eligible for release on default/regular bails or just by paying a fine. Due to their poor financial condition, they rot in jail indefinitely. it is agonizing to know that the states are not showing initiative to use funds of 2023 central scheme to secure release of eligible poor prisoners. As it is the jails are overcrowded, and the state spends considerably on each prisoner. Will it not be a win-win for both the state and eligible prisoner, if they are released?

'Shashi Tharoor in a saree': Priyanka Chaturvedi shares clip, Congress MP responds with humour
Congress Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor found himself in the spotlight in a humorous exchange with Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi on a podcast. Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi (left) with Congress Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor (right)(PTI ) When asked in an ANI news agency podcast with Smita Prakash about posting pictures with Prime Minister Modi and anticipating public reactions, Chaturvedi quipped, 'I sometimes love irritating people, because they are so invested in my life, where is she going next, where's she going next?' Prakash then joked, 'You're basically Shashi Tharoor in a saree.' Chaturvedi laughed, saying, 'I don't know whether that is a compliment for Shashi or for me, but I am going to tell Shashi.' The clip was later shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Chaturvedi, drew a witty response from Tharoor, 'Thanks Priyanka. I consider myself flattered either way.' Priyanka Chaturvedi said she first shared her picture with Narendra Modi on Instagram, which then spread on X and other platforms. She recounted in a funny, imitating tone, 'We had said she went on the Parliament delegation, and it happened there.' Chaturvedi was part of the Group-2 delegation led by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ravi Shankar Prasad that visited European nations to highlight India's stance against terrorism. The visit came shortly after India conducted Operation Sindoor targeting terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. She also criticised the Election Commission of India (ECI), saying public trust in the poll body is waning. 'Day by day, new names are being added and removed from the rolls. Now, the system has been exposed. We have seen their press conference, and the language used was deeply unfortunate. Today, people no longer trust the Election Commission. The public will surely ask why their confidence is not being earned. It seems the Commission is focused only on winning the BJP's trust,' the leader told ANI. (With ANI inputs)

'Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma wanted to continue in Tests but were told to go': Former India cricketer lashes out at BCCI
The sudden retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from Test format left many startled and skeptical regarding whether they really intended to leave or were forced to go out by the BCCI. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's sudden decision to retire from Test cricket left a lot to contemplate and speculate about. While three months have passed since the departure of the stalwarts from the longest format of the game, the fans have still not made peace with the fact that they went out voluntarily. Many faithful fans of the two have claimed on social media that the BCCI forced Kohli and Rohit to retire. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Former India cricketer Karsan Ghavri, who played alongside Kapil Dev in the 1970s, believes that Virat Kohli had a couple of good years of Test cricket left in him. He alleged that the BCCI forced both Kohli and Rohit Sharma out of the exit door, doing them a disservice by making them retire unceremoniously. 'He [Kohli] should have definitely continued playing for India easily, probably for another couple of years, Gharvi said on the Vickey Lalwani Show, as quoted by HT. 'But something really forced him to retire. And unfortunately, when he retired, he was not even given a farewell by the BCCI. Such players, such a great player who has done such great service to BCCI, India cricket and Indian fans, should be given a grand and fabulous farewell.' Ghavri makes strong allegations against BCCI Gharvi, who played 39 Tests and 19 ODIs for India, went uncensored and held BCCI's petty politics responsible for the premature retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. 'It's due to internal politics within the BCCI, which is hard to understand. And I think this is the reason he retired prematurely. Even Rohit Sharma retired prematurely. They were asked to go out. It's not like they wanted to leave. They wanted to continue. But the selectors and BCCI had different ideas. It was a matter of some kind of petty politics,' Ghavri added. Given that both Rohit and Kohli retired just a few days ahead of the squad announcement for the England tour, the odd timing was enough to leave people skeptical about whether they really intended to quit the format. Additionally, why would Kohli return to play a Ranji Trophy match earlier this year if he had decided to move away from the format? Furthermore, Rohit, in a casual chat with Michael Clarke, during the IPL break, had clearly stated that he was looking forward to the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. These factors fueled suspicion, but it's unlikely any revelations will confirm if something is amiss. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
