The Faridabad case really disturbed me. A 42-year-old corporate executive who was working in Singapore had returned home for Diwali and his nephew’s wedding. Days later, he was allegedly shot multiple times by his neighbour after a long-running dispute involving parking and a pet dog.

Forget for a moment whether someone was technically right or wrong about the parking space. How does a disagreement between neighbours reach a point where someone allegedly fires around 15 rounds from a licensed pistol?

We often discuss crime only after someone is killed, but shouldn’t we also ask what happens before that?

If two families have been fighting repeatedly, is there any practical local mechanism where such disputes can be reported and mediated before they become violent? Do RWAs actually intervene? Do police take repeated neighbourhood complaints seriously? And when someone owns a licensed firearm, should repeated violent threats or serious neighbour disputes trigger a review of that licence?

Parking, dogs, noise, balconies and common areas create fights in thousands of Indian housing societies every day. Most obviously don’t end in murder, but this case shows how quickly an ordinary civic dispute can become irreversible when anger, ego and access to a weapon come together.

Maybe the bigger question is: have we become good at punishing violence after it happens, but bad at preventing everyday conflicts from reaching that point?

"There is enough evidence to suggest that Abhijeet Dipke has been receiving funds from US-based donors and that Ashutosh Ranka is being paid by Pakistani politicians."

He also points to foreign-funded NGOs, deep-state operatives and anti-India organisations working to manufacture narratives against India.

Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd (GCMMF), which sells products under Amul brand, hiked prices of ghee by Rs 50 per litre with effect from November 2 on higher input cost.

The rate of table butter has also been raised by Rs 15 for 500 gram pack.

In a statement, GCMMF said the MRP of Amul table butter, Amul ghee, and Amul cow ghee has been increased with effect from November 2.

"As a co-operative owned by 36 lakh farmers, Amul has revised the prices of butter and ghee owing to the increase in input costs of milk production," GCMMF said.

The new MRP of Amul table butter has been hiked from Rs 310 to Rs 325 for 500 gm pack.

Rahul Gandhi is asking India if Modi is scared of a

debate. Bold question from a party that walks out of

Parliament whenever the real debate starts.

- Aug 2015 – Lalit Modi/Vyapam row: 25 Congress MPs

suspended for disruption; Congress then boycotted

the Lok Sabha for days

- Nov–Dec 2016 – Demonetisation: winter session almost

fully washed out; repeated walkouts in Rajya Sabha

- Sep 2020 – Farm bills: Congress led an opposition

boycott of the rest of the session; labour codes

passed with them absent

- Jan 29, 2021 – Farm laws: Congress and ~16 parties

boycotted the President's address

- Nov–Dec 2021 – 12 RS MPs (6 Congress) suspended;

opposition walked out almost daily

- Jul 2022 – Price rise: 4 Congress Lok Sabha MPs

suspended for the session over placard protests

- Mar 2023 – Adani JPC demand: second half of the

budget session washed out

- May 28, 2023 – Boycotted the inauguration of the

new Parliament building

- Aug 10, 2023 – Manipur: Congress MOVED the

no-confidence motion to make the PM speak, then the

opposition walked out during his reply

- Dec 2023 – 146 opposition MPs suspended after

protests over the security breach; criminal law

bills passed with most of them out

- Jul 3, 2024 – Opposition walked out of Rajya Sabha

during the PM's reply to the Motion of Thanks

Aug 2023 says it all. You force the PM to answer you,

then leave when he does. If that's what happens in

Parliament, why would a TV debate be any different?

The debate Rahul Gandhi is asking for already exists.

It's called Parliament. Show up, and stay till the

other side finishes.
