A proud minister of commerce and industries predicts that the dollar will reach 260 rupees.
The irony is that the exporters would really (really) dislike the scenario that the minister just described: a decline in the value of the dollar relative to the rupee. The minister also serves as the chairman of the nation’s most influential exporters’ lobby (APTMA).
But the lobby in question isn’t upset with him for betraying them or anything. Like their commander, they are cunning and astute, and they are aware of the sources of the pressure to drive down the value of the dollar. Regardless of the impact on their financial situation, they are singing praise in a choir.
The Punjabi stage dancers are the target of the caretaker government’s resentment. vulgarity and other things.
They simply relaxed their puritanical rules, I guess. Now only male performers are permitted to do those filthy dances.
