Citizens Forum Against Corruption

Government officers, who dare to report corruption taking place in their departments, are victimized to no end. It would be a serious blow to corruption, if all such officials could report their cases without fear of victimization. Citizens Forum Against Corruption (CFAC) consists of retired judges, advocates, activists, retired police officers and eminent members from various sections of society. CFAC invites whistleblowers, who have evidence of corruption taking place in government, to report it to CFAC. If the whistleblower so desires, his identity would be kept confidential. CFAC will take up the case with various agencies including CBI, CVC etc. As a last resort, judicial intervention would be sought. To report cases of corruption, please contact:
Naveen, c/o Citizens' Forum Against Corruption, C- 67, Sec 14, NOIDA.

FORUM
Aaj Ki Aawaz

Soren is in Delhi crying on everybody's shoulders ….Munda Sarkaar ko kar do rad (scrap),
In the same breath he also asks for return of his Mantripad !!!!

And imagine despite Razi's biased Governorship Munda is 'awarding' him with a Mercedes car,
Putting a 46 lakh pacifier in Razi's mouth to stop him from bawling on Congress's haar!!!

Justice Variava is an experienced man …with a keen sense of hearing and perception,
In this recall of Judge matter there is some deception!!!

There is no doubt that Congress has done its best to bail Laloo out,
Sorry but in all this Congress comes out as Laloo's tout!!!

But then like they say the buffalo belongs to the person who wields the stick,
So Laloo gets to choose the people who try his cases…..goon's pick!!!

Lucky Laloo…..not only does he get to choose the best Lawyers to fight his cases but he chooses the Judges too,
Judiciary is being made to bend backwards for Laloo!!!

Government wants feeding of monkeys to be made an offence,
Monkeys should unite and put Laloo up for their defence!!!

Laloo will ensure he wins and that feeding of monkeys will be made mandatory,
And getting a certificate from the monkeys that you have done so will be obligatory.

Why is there no law on feeding Commies …… why is this being allowed???
This ghoos via the belly should be disallowed!!!

As per info coming from Kerela,
In the elections this time Congress is going to reap a harvest of karela (bitter gourd).

Seems Kurnakaran has got a whiff of this and wants to be kicked out of Congress!!!
That is why he is on Project Offence…….cause duress!!!

In Haryana High Command has sown the seeds of dissent,
Chandra Mohan being made DCM practically the entire Cabinet kar rahaa hai resent!!

Bhajan says that as DCM Chandra Mohan is next in line for CM ki gaddi!!!
Of course Bhirender, Surjewalla Senior and Junior and Selja say this is abs raddi (rubbish)!!!

Uppar waala jabh bhi detaa detaa chapad faad ke…..now Chautala has another woe as his leg is in plaster,
Another setback after the election disaster!!!

Chautala after slipping in the elections now slipped in the bathroom,
Has just added to his gloom!!!

Will Hooda meet Chautala and pen something on Chautala's plaster???
If he goes to meet Chautala will enter in like breeze and exit even faster!!!

If he could Hooda would pen…….Chautala Ji sambhalo apni taang!!!
Because now Chautala is powerless in Haryana……only high for him is now bhaang!!!

And by the way Hooda is working on Chautala's asset list…….though will be like finding needle in a haystack,
And by the time he starts getting somewhere five years would be over and Chautala could be back!!!

Modi has been denied a Visa to visit USA…….say Hitler is not welcome,
As his presence may be offensive to some!!!

Bush sould have been more than happy to welcome him,
Because the Bush gang cannot consider what Modi did as something dim!!!!

Bush is doing this in Iraq via his army everyday,
And by the way Modi's Visa unlike Uncle Sam's Iraq Visa was for a visit and not to stay!!!

India has requested USA to reconsider denial of visa to Modi…..prestige ki hai baath,
India terms it as injustice Modi ke saath!!!!!

Shakti Kapoor now has tai tai fis Verma for company…..both star in India TV's stings,
Men who wanted to have casting couch flings!!!

Ad man Prahlad Kakkar says that this will give Government handle to meddle,
We know whose line he tries to peddle!!!

Though Bollywood is still trying to differentiate between entrapment and luring,
Fact is that Bollywood needed some curing!!!

When you benefit from Public Life you make your life Public……privacy is only at home,
You cannot expect to be a private person when in Society you roam!!

PC says that he and Manmohan misjudged the withdrawal amount as per their own standards…..so will reconsider,
And also on the fringe benefits the Industry's protests he will consider!!!

Rollback is something that every FM does…..for good luck,
And also from their ill conceived notions to get unstuck!!!

Mush is coming to Delhi for the one day match…real cricket buff!!!
But warns if anyone talks of the K word he will walk out in a huff!!!

Confucius says….When it comes to K it is all out for no loss!!!
He continues….. Actually match will only start after they decide who won the toss!!!

Weekend is here…….Become a couch potato and laze,
Remember once the week starts you're going to be back in the maze!!!
