 Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 31 Aug 18   A great loss

This is in reference to the demise of American Politician John McCain (“‘Miss you’: Arizona remembers John McCain, its ‘most fascinating son’”, Gulf News, August 28). For more than three decades he was the senator and a war hero who was liked by one and all. He was suffering from carcinoma and few days ago, he stopped his medication. This was the cause of his early departure. His death is a great loss for American politics. May his soul rest in peace.

Tribute to Hegde ;Our own Vajpayee. K Ragavanadds: The author has brilliantly analysed Ramakrishna Hegde and his lofty principles. Hegde is the one leader who rose above caste-based politics. He stood high above caste and communal politics. He symbolised the politics of inclusivity and never divided society for electoral gains, a political practice widely in vogue now. Kannadigas can never forget such a tall leader

Letter Published in The National UAE on 30Aug 18Hate speech on social media encourages violence

Your story Facebook takes action against Myanmar over Rohingya violence (August 28) about the action taken by the popular social media platform on the accounts of those connected with violence against Rohingya Muslims is a good development. Posting hate speech and fake news encourages violence. This move by Facebook is a welcome one.

Letter Published in The NationalUAE on 29Aug 18 How many more shootings before the US takes action?

Regarding your story Police seeking motive in Florida shooting that left two dead (August 27), the recent shooting that claimed two lives and injured 11 injured in Florida at a video game tournament was terrible to read.

While the reason for this shooting is not yet known and an investigation is ongoing, in recent months there have been many incidents like this taking place in various states and yet still US authorities have not reinforced laws concerning gun licences.

It is high time the Trump administration solved this problem to stop any more casualties in the future.
