Aaj Ki Aawaz
Votes have been cast and looks like Congress will three out of three!!
However for raging prices a fall in its seat share it'll see!!
In Harayana INLD will do better and in Maharashtra gap with BJP Sena wil be closer!
MNS would have eaten into BJP Sena votes and Raj will emerge a Mr. Hoser!!!
Hoser because he's hosed down BJP Sena's chance of grabbing power!!!
And Balasahib is hopping mad …. is there any word that goes beyond sour???
NCP ka bhi bajhe ga band and its seat share will take a whamming!!!
From both middle class and farmers NCP is going to get a slamming!!
The third C that Hooda boasted about was Crime!!!
Khap murders, crime rise and his siding with Manu Sharma show for crime he did not care a dime!!
Hooda's in the right place at the right time..... and that's the real story!!!!!
And my guess is in a year or two in Haryana for CM's seat there will be internal jorra jorri!!
I for one am totally against Rahul going to Naxal infested areas...its detrimental !!!!
This problem cannot be solved by becoming sentimental!!
Why stick your head out when there is no need to do so????
To such areas in fact no Central Leader should now go!!
Now to think that 'speeches' will get things back on track!!!
Means realism one surely does lack!!
Going there is risky!!!
So Rahul take to bungy jumping when for taking risk you feel frisky!!
China is 'deeply upset' on Mohna's visit to Arunachal Pradesh!!!
And it's sent this clear sandesh!!!
India will of course ignore this sandesh!!!
And should improve communications and logistical connectivity of Arunachal Pradesh!
China's logic seems to be ' Arunachal is land of chinky eyes'!!!!
China's logic no one buys!!
It's as muddled as the noodles that they eat!!!!!!
Chinese logic …in neighbourly relations always keep turning on and off the heat!!
Rahul we do not give too much importance to Pakistan!!
We tend to overlook and bear their sponsored attacks on Hindustan!!
Now Saudi Arabia wants US to step in and resolve Kashmir....is it their business?????
Why don't they look at their internal mess???

Saudis are sick of the Saudi Royal Family's autocratic rule!!!!!
Seems whenever the 'noises turn higher' some issue the Royal Family does try to fuel!!
I will not be surprised if very soon Saudis stop Indians from working there!!!!
After all 'just asking USA to step in' would look like an empty dare!!!
India's Ambassador in US has written to TKA Nair about ghoos being given by US Firms!!!
Opened a big can of worms!!!
If Officials got ghoos then their Ministers could not have been ignored!!!
And we all know how ghoos by Mantris is taken and how it's stored!!
Of course the matter will land up with CBI and CBI will do what it does in such cases!!!
CBI 'just ties up its laces'!!!
Then it trips and stumbles and after a few years all involved get a clean chit!!!
After all CBI too is a part of the system and for the system it does its bit!!
100 rats khaa ke billi Haj ko challi….. this is the apt adage for Maya's austerity drive!!!!
What about the hundreds of crores for her statues when she's still alive!!!
It's indeed rare that statues of someone living are erected!!!
Usually these are made after the person from the duniya has been ejected!!!
Confucius says….. ultimate objective of Maya!!
Wherever one goes in UP one will be under one of her statue's chaaya!!

China, again at it
China has thrown down the gauntlet again.If India reacts by being on the defensive then China will demand more and more territory. In a foreign policy pronouncement China has already announced its objective of having about 25 independent weak Indian states which she would then dominate by exporting Maoism and civil war. We are in grave danger from an emergent China.She sees herself as the hub of the universe once again. Witness how Obama and Clinton made a beeline to Peking to prostrate themselves before the Chinese dictatorship. All talk of human rights abuses was forgotten. The only thing that the Americans remembered was that China now holds more than a trillion dollars worth of U.S. treasury bills and really has the USA by the Bs. Obama might even strike a deal with Osama and the two might embrace each like true Arab brothers. Where will all this leave India? The National Security Adviser Narayanan , true to form ,will open his mouth and shut his eyes. China is now awake and as Napoleon predicted the world is already trembling especially the NSA, Narayanan.

Frustration in Border Security Force.
Some points are mentioned under which is creating frustration in border security force:
1. An officer in bsf is still deputy commandant after 15 to 16 yrs of service and his counterpart enrolled in the same year through cpos exam is either 2ic or commandant. However army officer becomes lt col in 12 years and gets pay band 4 however bsf officer is likely to become 2ic after 17 to 18 yrs of service but he will remain in pay band 3.
2. Army personnels posted anywhere like in army hq Delhi get full 60 days of annual leave, 28 days of casual leave and ration money. However personnels posted in BSF hq at places like Bandipur, Kupwara in Srinagar and same type of places in northeast gets only 30 days of annual leave and 8 days of casual leave and no ration money.
Now few questions that BSF personnel are generally asking but not getting the satisfactory replies causing frustration in BSF.
1 Are we not staying away from our families?
2 Do we require less days of leave to spend time with family?
3 If we stay in any hq then BSF personnel do not require ration.
4 The courses in BSF are like army and the course covers conventional war subjects to give support to army but still why are we not at par with army in any case?
5 Our BSF act and rule is carbon copy of army act and rule which says BSF is an armed force but why are we not considered as an armed force?
6 BSF does not have any peace and field of 3years unlike BSF staying in borders or line of control during their full service period then why our allowances are less than army?
7 In all the places of disturbance and line of control BSF units are under the operational command of army brigades doing the same job like army then why BSF is not at par with army?
8 our identities in our villages was of a fauzi and now we are neither fauzi nor police. Why this tragedy?

Anti-naxal operations
The last few weeks have seen a lot of rumpus being created in the media about the "Tens of thousands of Paramilitary forces" being mobilised by the home ministry, for anti naxal operations. Apart from grandstanding, this seems to have achieved very little, what with the naxals having gone on the rampage in Jharkhand, and Bihar, and terror seemingly being struck even in the very heart of the state. What is being done about the here and now, rather than the unnecessary media circus being whipped up about what may possibly be done? Are the PMF's ready, morally, physically, materially, to fight the naxals? The naxals are ideologically driven, and in the fight for life. Has a comprehensive plan been prepared to crush them? Will our PMF troopers be given the necessary material, planning, ideological backing, and moral prepararation, to destroy this menace? Do our PMF's have the necessary general staff planning capability to develop such a comprehensive plan, while being officered by personnel who being from the police service are essentially trained for Law and Order maintenance operations, and nothing further? or will this just become another drama where we whip up media passion for 3 days, and then go back home, leaving the naxals to prevail?

Dear Sir'
Thank you very much for providing information regarding Senior level appointments. It is my personal opinion that you should also include information related with Non-IAS senior level appointments Directors of different National Institutes, Vice Chancellors etc.

DEBATE ON RETIREMENT AGE
No. There is no point in this survey, as people with below 50 would invariably give negative response and those above 50 years will give positive response.
Anil Kumar anilk62@yahoo.co.in
Regarding the retirement age of govt. staff, it will be never ending demand of the staff. The retirement should be at the age of 58 which will help more employment to the new and young generation in India where population is increasing every year. In the Judiciary the retirement age for The High Courts is 62 and for The Apex court it is 65 and it is required as there is great shortage of learned Judges. For the other Govt.staff it is not required as there is a long list for the persons for promotion to the higher post.
