Aaj Ki Aawaz
Amar Singh says Maya is harassing him,
However the allegations made by Shivakant Tripathi are indeed grim!!!
Amar should come out with rebuttals rather than say this is vendetta…rebut karro!!
Facts and figures table parr dharo!!
And if facts and figures provide the answers then Amar can make the vendetta cry!!!
Any allegation against Amar or Big B and Amar vendetta ke saath deflection karta hai try!
In fact if Amar has constipation it will also put into ‘vendetta’ bracket!!
And then for his aching posterior Amar will create a vendetta racket!!!
Though it’s easy to see there is no vendetta for his posterior pain,
But in everything and anything vendetta Amar has to feign!!!
And Maya is not on a witch hunt..... its called Warlock hunt!!!!
Though privately if you ask Maya it’ll neither be Witch or Warlock… it’ll be hunt the runt!!!
This is for sure the modus operandi that Tripathi alleges is often used!!!
Money is made and then black made into white ….system is doubly abused!!!
Now IOA is trying to make Hooper the fall guy!!!!
Kalamadi’s allegation that Hooper is ‘detrimental’ koi nahi karta hai buy!!!
Kalamadi says Hooper is a distraction.....how is he distracting????
Plain stupid Kalamadi is acting!!
Kalamadi interests are well known and recently we all were given a peek!!!
Of nepotism and corruption IOA does reek!!
By the way if Sports Bodies are running the show why do we have a Minister of Sports?
Seems to the Sports Bodies our Minister of Sports reports!!
In IOA ‘I,me mine'’ Kalamadi and 'Boar' Randhir Singh run the show!!!
Though outwardly they give a 'sportsmanship' glow!!
Now to play catch up India will spend a fortune and many fortunes will be made!!!
A devious game Messrs. ’I, me, mine'  and ‘Boar’ played!!!
But then seems money is being passed on and so all are playing ball!!!
Iss ko my friends ‘gravy train’  karte hai call!!
China is creating a hullabaloo about Agni V what about its own Dong Feng 31 A????
On its phenomenal reach what does China have to say???
Mohna is going to meet the Chinese Premiere in Bangkok and they’ll powwow!!!
To none of the Chinese demands Mohna will bow!!
Yes they’ll agree on hotline,
And Mohna should be prepared to hear Jiaboa’s whine after whine!!
Some say Mukesh is behind the report and some say Anil is showing off!!!
But the report would make many scoff!
The report says that Anil meets an Official in PMO every Wednesday!!
Has met very very important Cabinet Official 30 times in last 90 days report does say!
Is Mukesh trying to embarrass the Officials so that they stop meeting Anil???
Is Anil trying to tell Mukesh if you’ve got Netas I’ve ‘got the brains’ without whom Netas are ‘nil’!
And remember the ordinary Indian cannot even meet a peon in PMO!!!!
Even near the PMO’s outer gate one cannot go!!!
And then you have Amar Singh boasting he and Amar are on brotherly terms!!!!
And I heard Anil was mortally scared of worms!!
Anil Ambani must realize his Amar Singh connection is horrendous for his image!!
Amar Singh connection Anil ki image ko karr raha hai damage!!
And mark my words one day Anil will rue his friendship with Amar!!!!
Even Amar’s Mulayam connection will short circuit though both say its 'amar'!!
American Aid comes with conditions and all conditions have a bypass!!!
Depends on American interests and if found suitable around the conditions they’ll allow the aid to pass!!
After all USA is a bully and bullies tend to suit themselves and break the rules!!
And they are habituated to using other Nation’s as tools!!!
Confucius says…… in US all rules are made to be broken however to break there is a due methodology!!!
And then to justify US has even used fakeology!!
 Adds... if it’s in US interests then every rule can be broken!!!!
So the conditions are actually just token!!

Prasar Bharati be closed
Prasar Bharati is a money laundering corporation. There is rampant corruption in the organisation. It should be closed down.

Insult to every Indian
Objection to Indian PMs visit to Arunachal is an intolerable insult to every patriotic Indian. This is an act of gross interference in India’s internal affairs and an infringement of our national sovereignty. India must react in like fashion and object to the Chinese Presidents visit to Sinkiang or Tibet. India must also send the Dalai Lama on frequent visits to Taiwan and demand the right of the Dalai Lama to visit his own country, Tibet. We should also tell the Chinese to vacate Aksai Chin in Ladakh which is in illegal occupation by China since 1962. Just because the Chinese forcibly occupied Ladakh does not mean it has to be accepted by India as a fait accompli. We should upgrade bilateral relations and links with Taiwan. China is a bully and all bullies are really cowards. Little Vietnam refused to be bullied by China over its boundary dispute with China and gave China a sound thrashing! We seem to suffer from the 1962 post traumatic syndrome still and our service chiefs are already holding press conferences , wringing their hands like old women and declaring their unwillingness to take on China. Such defeatism in service chiefs is a national disgrace! They are giving up the fight even before it has begun. They do not deserve to be service chiefs. Are they Indians or Chinese?

1988 batch becoming Jt director ?

Is it not Jt secretary. In telecom services 1987 became General Managers equivalent to Jt.Sec. This one year difference is there from IAS,IPS with other group A central services. Correct me if i am wrong.

Reconsoder Leave policy
I have completed 24 years of Government Service and have 300+15 at my credit. Now I am in a section where I have only S.O. and it becomes difficult to take leave at a stretch for more than 15 days. In the process neither the leave is allowed to be accumulated in my leave account or allowed for encashment and it lapses every time. Will the Govt. please consider to enhance the limit or allow encashment other than LTC?

DEBATE ON RETIREMENT AGE
No, it should be max 60. After a great innings with his/her service to the country, govt. should release the burden. They should live a very connected and fun-filled life with their family for rest of the innings. Jai hind.
Shakti Sinha mails4shakti@yahoo.co.in
No. Actually almost every government servant retires at a personal age of more than 60 years due to manipulation of academic age. Then there is rampant re employment and extension granted regularly; not necessarily based on merit. If retirement age is raised, many will actually retire at personal age of 65-70 years.
Kipgen ifsnkipgen@yahoo.com
It is not fair to enhance the retirement age mostly in view of employment generation for youth
P Gangadharan ganga1961@yahoo.co.in
Yes I agree that retirement age should be increased to 65 so that after that age no one is willing to work any longer and rest for the remaining years. It should also have the option to ask for voluntary retirement to those who want to quit and to retire those who are not medically fit at the age of 60.
Vinod Passy vinodpassy@gmail.com,
No. Never. it should be 55 or 58 because young people do not have employment
Kusum Chopra choprakusum@rediffmail.com
16-10
you are publishing only yes masters .is it fair on your part. There should not be any retirement age till they breath their last.
Krishna Reddy krishnarreddy@gmail.com
In view of rising average life span in India retirement age should be raised to 62.
R N Choudhary
Yes, retirement age should be same across the board for all the civil servants including scientists, academicians etc. either 62 or 65 years
