BJP national general secretary says he did not disrepect the judiciary
BJP national general secretary C.T. Ravi has defended his remarks on judges, stating that he did not disrespect either them or the judiciary. “I stick to my statement and repeat that it was never meant to dishonour the judges,” he said in a press conference in Chikkamagaluru on Friday. The MLA maintained that he believed there was no one in the world who knows everything. “Neither a judge nor a Prime Minister nor a leader of the Opposition is a Sarvajna. If there is one person who knew everything, we would have countered COVID-19 effectively by now,” he said.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
