Aaj Ki Aawaz

PC’s ‘saffron terror’ remark is like the phoney the ‘wolf call’!!!
And in response to this call BJP and SS ne Lok Sabha ko kee stall!!
 
Unless he substantiates and proves this call!!
For indirectly ‘causing’ wastage of Lok Sabha’s time karro PC ko haul!!
 
PC is known to create fires!!
And from this habit he never tires!!
 
Does he mean to say Saffron Terror is now for India the biggest threat???
Yes for saying this ‘shabash’ from the Muslim Vote Bank he could get!!
 
Or is he aping Pakistan that has said Islamic terror is now for Pakistan the biggest danger!
Well there its true but in India PC’s call ……‘ nothing could be stranger’!!
 
With the passage of the Nuclear Civil Liability Bill Mohna’s heaved sigh of relief!!
‘I’m now on a new high’ is Mohna’s belief!!
 
Actually here all those who opposed this Bill in its original form,
‘Self back patting they should perform’!!
 
Had it not been for these protests Mohna had ‘sold us cheap’!!!
After the protests the value of Indian lives in the Bill took a upward leap!!
 
And then Mohna has the gall to say ‘ Mein Uncle Sam ka gulam nahi’!!
His actions show this claim of his is not sahi (correct)!!
 
Though it does not concern Obama but for India’s sake,
Hope to Mohna a demand to cut Government expenditure and reduce corruption Obama does make!
 
Then we’ll get to see Mohna doing both!!!
And then Congress karre gi Mohna ko loathe!!
 
Pawar says ' let grains rot but grains cannot be distributed to BPL free of cost'!!
Rather than feed the poor he prefers that the grains 'are lost'!!
 
We've seen Pawar's ghooskhori and now we get to see his ruthless side!!!
Though some would say both go side by side!!
 
Shiela says Delhi will be clear of all debris by September 10!!!
Delhites say it cannot be done by then!! 
 
As expected now Kalmadi is out of ‘sight and mind’!!
He’s nowadays ‘very difficult to find’!!!
 
His campwallahs boast ‘Kalmadi is very powerful’!!!!
And with the Gandhi family he has his pull!!
 
They say ‘ why do you think on CWG Rahul has kept mum’???
And ‘we’ll punish the guilty’ is the 'generalised' promise made by his Mom!!
 
And we know how difficult it is to prove a Neta’s guilt!!
Protection mechanisms in the system are in-built!!
 
Confucius says……. Just look at History on this matter!!!!
They get away and all that Public can do is chatter!!
 
Adds...... take for example Laloo's case......for Laloo via CBI UPA made justice trip!!! 
UPA made CBI 'loosen around Laloo's neck its grip'!!

Why hike in salaries to MPs is frowned upon ?

It is a mystery as to why hike in salaries to MPs is frowned upon. MPs and Ministers must be paid handsomely (their perks except travel and housing must go down, their salaries must increase manifold), so that they can have legitimate money to put them beyond legitimate want and so that they can pay tax on that legitimate money (their incomes should be taxed). Low salaries to MPs/ Ministers is the root cause of corruption in India. Discretion of thousands of crores and salary twenty five thousand rupees per month is plumb stupid. The only Ministers/ MPs suffering on this count are the honest ones, who can barely make a living; the corrupt are getting rich by dubious means. It is high time salaries are revised drastically and perks reduced. Let every MP be paid five crore rupees every year (no pensions). The levels of corruption in India will reduce significantly.

Medical scandals

What a coincidence. In J&K Health Minister, who admitted his daughter to Medical college, was removed. Similarly in Chhattisgarh Director of Medical Education Dr Adile was removed for similar fiat, i.e. getting admission of his daughter to medical college. Incidentally Dr Adile is recipient of President Medal for exemplary services. So the country is united from J&K to Chhattisgarh.

Members of tribunals will be retired judges and IAS of 55yrs of age or above. So cheer up beloved administrators, here is another sinecure job waiting for you. You can serve the country in your usual ways known to us.
