Aaj Ki Aawaz
When Manmohan said 'Indians loved Bush' back home Congress squirmed in pain!!!!
As Congress's vote bank is going to look at this statement with disdain!!!!
Congress Leaders will now try to do a cover up for their vote bank!!!!
And say Mohna did not mean it and just pulled on Bush a prank!!!
They'll fib that this was just a tongue in cheek remark!!!!
It was not a yap yap but a decisive bark!!!
Javed Akhtar demands a ban on Bajrang Dal,
But this is not the problem ka hal (solution)!!!!
First it is important to look at what has created the fire,
SIMI's anti India stance and Christian conversions that have made things dire!!!
Comparing Bajrang Dal and SIMI is like comparing a patriot with a traitor or turncoat!!!
Via his glib talk treachery pe Javed Akhtar's trying to apply a paint ka coat!!!
He hobnobs with Gandhi siblings so he thinks he's the moochi of the cat!!!!
Seems for its pseudo secularism Congress has got Javed to bat!!!!
If Christians would have converted a Muslim village what would Javed do???
With all his strength and literally skills he'd boo!!!!
But there is a good side to this too,
More and more Indians are realizing their Indianness and karr rahe hai Javed ko boo!!!
More than 40% Indians feel SIMI should be banned,
But only 17% feel that Bjarang Dal should be canned!!
Javed should stick to judging Indian Idol and singing shows!!!!
And he'll not be judging these shows for long as with participants he'll come to blows!!!
Look at Tehelka's Baweja who says if she was a Muslim she'd pick up a gun!!!!
Signs of a very disturbed 'mann' (mind)!!!
Congress accepted Nanavati's report for the 1984 genocide!!!
But for Nanavati's report on Gujarat riots Congress says Nanavathi ne truth ko kiya hide!
Banerjee Commission did what quite a few 1984 riots Commissions did!!!!
Truth these Commissions hid!!!
There's been another blast in Dilli,
Congress's boasts about being on the ball comes to willy-nilly !!!!
And what does our Home Minister do!!!!
He says 'cannot confirm that this is a terror attack' and tells the Media to shoo!!!!
When it comes to terror seems UPA has surrendered!!!!
Five years it's literally squandered!!!
The Deal UPA is boasting about is NDA's brainchild!!!
In its attempt to take honors for this Deal we Indians by Congress have been beguiled!
For three years we've faced inflation and terror attacks!!!
And for three years we've seen just UPA leaders ki backs!!!
With growing terror attacks India will go into a shell!!!
And on various sectors this going into a shell will tell!!!!
Crowded markets will be a thing of the past,
Shopping only when required and not till stocks last!!!
Retail and entertainment sectors will suffer the most!!!
Both will be haunted by the terror ghost!!!
American taxpayer will fund the 700 billion bailout!!!
Why should we bear the brunt America taxpayer karr raha ai shout??
And worry is after the bailout golden parachutes will fill America 's skies!!!!
CEO bailing themselves out from their lies!!!
Bush will go down in posterity as the President who brought America to its knees!!
Bush created woes the World sees!!!
Confucius says…… Americans should blame themselves for their woes!!!
Voted for Bush twice…once is a mistake and twice is a blunder the saying goes!!!

"ACR: No more confidential"- Supreme Court.
The ACRs are the assets of a government servant. Timely promotion and recognition are the basic motivations for a government servant so the DoPT should evolve such transparent Performance Appraisal System, which should have least subjectivity and no room of unfairness and prejudiceness. In Central Staffing Scheme, the DoPT has fixed minimum bench-mark of ACR as 'VERY GOOD' for empanelment of DS, Director and JS. If some officer is appointed as DS/Dir/JS, it means his/her performance had been Very Good and above. So such officers are fully capable to deliver the results. Our duty is to provide congenial environment. There are examples in some ministries that some officers are not allowed to get adjusted in the new environment. Some high-headed people forget if such treatment was given to them, what would have been their reaction? First of all, provide them stage only then they can perform better. Moral of the story is that one should play with anybody's career. Moreover in the recent judgment of Supreme Court (CA No.7631 of 2002: Dev Dutt Vs Union of India), ACR in no more confidential document. It can be shown to the concerned official. The Supreme Court has held, "Non-communication of entries in the Annual Confidential Report of a public servant, whether he is in civil, judicial, police or any other service (other than the military), certainly has civil consequences because it may affect his chances for promotion or get other benefits. Hence, such non-communication would be arbitrary, and as such violative of Article 14 of the Constitution." The DOPT may issue necessary directions to all the Departments/ Ministries in the interest of the country as fear of ACR grading travels in the mind. The transparency in the ACR System will bring efficiency in the working of Government.

Only transfer industry flourishing
The so called transfer industry is the only industry which is moving ahead in the recent times. In Karnataka officers are being transferred in a span as short as 15 days and then kept in waiting till the appropriate money is paid to concerned ministers. Though everyone reading this site knows it, even then it is worth pondering for what all of us have joined the so called steel frame. I dare say that seniors in the services have failed in their duties. When we tell them about what is going on, which any how they know, the only help offered is the suggestion to be more practical. But we know there are a whole lot of officers who have not compromised who are gathering dust in some insignificant post in government. I appeal to them to come forward and do some thing to boost morale of this young crop of officers. I hope Saxena would help us in suggesting what needs to be done.

Is madam bothered about Group A officers of paramilitary forces
Is madam bothered about 8500 Group A officers of paramilitary forces also. Why are they being antagonised by not implementing cadre quota in senior posts by home ministry.

Stem the rot in A.F.H.Q. cadre
Armed Forces Headquarters (AFHQ) is one of the organized services in the HQ Organisation of Government of India, the others being Central Secretariat, Railway Board, Ministry of External Affairs etc. Though Joint Secretary (Trg) & Chief Administrative Officer, Ministry of Defence is the cadre controlling authority, the actual power is wielded by a bunch of half-literate bureaucrats of Dir/JD/DD level. Mismanagement by successive administrative authorities has degraded the cadre to a level where in spite of repeated assertions by successive Pay Commissions about the historical parity with Central Secretariat Services etc., the employees are denied their legitimate dues.
Prior to the Sixth Central Pay Commission (SCPC), Section Officers/Private Secretaries in the Central Sectt/Railway/MEA etc were granted the scale of pay of Rs.8000-13500 notionally w.e.f. 1.1.1996, and arrears w.e.f. 3.10.2003. An attempt was made to implement the same scales in AFHQ also. But, it was opposed by the Finance Ministry without any valid ground and at last the issue was referred to the SCPC. The SCPC and the subsequent GOI Notification accepted the parity and as in the case of the other Services, SO/PS of AFHQ was initially placed in PB-2 with Rs.4800/- Grade Pay and on completion of four years service given PB-3 with Rs.5400/- Grade Pay.
However, those ruling the AFHQ establishment are unable to digest the good of others and are vehemently opposed to implement this GOI Gazette Notification. They have done pay fixation of SO/PS with more than ten years regular service (even those who have cleared UPSC Ltd Departmental Competitive Exam) in PB-2 with Rs.4,800/- Grade Pay. GOI Notification dated 29.8.2008 (First Schedule, Part B, Section I, page 44) is very clear and does not need any more clarification. How can anyone overrule a GOI Gazette Notification? If they are unable to understand such simple language, they have no right to remain in their seats. They be thrown out at once. I urge the superior authorities in Ministry of Defence to take note and stem the rot. The earlier the better, because these people have played with the career of too many people.
SO/PS should be given the scale of Rs.8000/- wef 1.1.96 notionally as has been done in the other services.

Don't we have competent officers?
Have we run out of competent Customs, C Excise and Police officers. There are more than a dozen competent Customs and Police offciers.
IAS should not even try and take the position. It is unethical. I am sure the Prime Minister will not allow such appointments. My faith on him is still intact
Dr Sanjay Singh
CIT,s
I understand that the cadre of commissioners in Income Tax is of 700 officers approx all over the country. This number is very small compared to the number of officers of All India Services of equal rank working away from their own state or families. If the said figure of 400 reported in your column is correct and my sources in Income Tax say that the number is much higher, then it is a cause for alarm and serious introspection by the Top Brass in MOF. This seems to be a major contributor in the recent trend amongst officers with more than 15-20 year experience to look for jobs outside the government where they have a much higher premium for their knowledge ,expertise and the superb man management and Taxation skills acquired over a period of time, which officers in other services may be lacking. The day is not far of ,when some enterprising officers or others get together and organise a pool of such talented IRS officers ,who are ready to call it a day and are available as consultants even in areas other than Tax. In such a case ,the officers moving out of the cadre with all the experience at their command ,will only leave the Revenue collecting agency gasping for breath. The ill treatment meted out to them at the hands of pay commission reported in your columns ,when the senior officers of the service have been denied the scale of secretary, unlike the other Central or All India services is definitely bound to compound their problems. I would suggest that their Association, if they have one, should start building a pool of those interested in calling it a day so that such officers are available to others ,and even the private sector so that they can really contribute to the economic growth of the country in real sense of the term.

Why should a University get involved?
I write as an objective person on the statement of Nurul Hasan to give University funds to the alleged terrorists to defend them. This service is already provided by the State as per Court Rules. So why should a University get involved?
The argument is that these people are only accused and not convicted. It is a foolish statement as every one who breaks the law is initially an accused only and only the Court convicts or releases him based on the case.
The stand taken by Nurul Hasan is dangerous as any student of any university can get involved in crimes including molestation, rape, murder, thefts etc. and ask the University to foot the bill as otherwise the name of the University will be spoiled.
The same thing will apply to every person in government, who may commit any crime in future, because the right to equality says you can't discriminate.
