No argument over politics or election till counting day, appeals paanwala in Chhattisgarh

A pan kiosk in the remote Mungeli district of Chhattisgarh has restricted political discussions at his shop due to toxic arguments and threats. The owner, Mahaveer Singh Thakur, has put up a board outside the shop asking people to wait until December 3 and not waste time arguing over politics. The shop is a popular spot for locals to discuss news and elections over paan and tea. Thakur decided to take this step to maintain decorum and avoid heated arguments.

Senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi on Tuesday cited a string of episodes from history to counter Supreme Court's proposition that if Muslims were deemed to be the force behind Aligarh Muslim University in 1920, it could qualify as a minority institution in the post-Constitution era by arguing that Muslims, at that point of time, never considered themselves as a minority but as a 'nation'. http://dlvr.it/T25xk3
