I salute the people and spirit of Mumbai. When people from other cities went into bunker shelters the moment few drops came down from top, people of Mumbai are going to work, keeping the economy moving.

@ainvvy Just pointing out that the Govt can issue passport to non citizens too as a travel document. Agree that the column itself is a proof, but technically not the document itself.

Socrates once said that infra enthusiasts, the ones who get bricked at the thought of any form of concrete, must ask - "does it reduce the traffic?"

@ainvvy Apparently there is a clause

Hold your angst on the Indian Passport not being a citizenship document.

Media should inform, not join Choir of the Ignorant.

Everybody feigning surprise and ranting against Ministry of External Affairs statement that passport is NOT a citizenship document, chill.

You are ignorant about the law of the land, an ignorance which is widespread in India largely because basic laws and rules that impact a citizen's life are not taught in school, as they should be, and parents discourage children from 'wasting their time' on learning about laws.

The passport we are issued is a travel document as per the Passport Act of 1967. It is NOT proof of citizenship because an Indian passport can also be issued to non-Indian nationals as per Section 20 of the Act.

This is NOT a new rule or definition; this is NOT a rule or definition introduced by the Modi Government after 2014. This is a rule and definition framed by the Congress when the Act was passed in 1967.

Here is what Section 20 of the Passport Act says:

20. Issue of passports and travel documents to persons who are not citizens of lndia --
Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions relating to issue of a passport or travel document, the Central Government may issue, or cause to be issued, a passport or travel document to a person who is not a citizen of lndia if that Government is of the opinion that it is necessary so to do in the public interest.

Apart from the Act, its interpretation by the Judiciary upholds the definition that the Indian Passport alone is not proof or evidence of Indian citizenship. The Bombay High Court was quite emphatic about this.

The full text of the Passport Act of 1967 is available on the website of Passport Seva:

Before applying for an Indian passport the applicant is supposed to read through the Act because it also informs citizens about violations and penalties.

If the applicant does not bother to read it, it is presumed s/he has read it: Remember, ignorance of the law is NOT a ground for pleading innocence.

It is extremely regrettable that presumably educated and informed journalists and newsdesks are fanning the cant over the MEA statement and amplifying the unfounded, meaningless angst that the Indian passport is NOT proof of or a document proving Indian citizenship.

The journalists at @toi group, who have joined the Choir of the Ignorant, could try reading archived issues of the paper they work for. There was a time, believe it or not, when it was a great newspaper, second only to The Statesman. It would be educative to read back issues.

Reading is the best cure for ignorance.

In a bizarre administrative anomaly that has left the local health department scrambling for answers, a proposed 100-bed civil hospital in #Indore's Khajrana area has been fully functioning "on paper" for six years, despite not having a single brick laid, or even a finalized plot of land.

Six years ago, #MadhyaPradesh state government announced the setting up of a modern civil hospital in Khajrana.
