Will UPA Government act ?
A party as worthless as BJP has taken action against tainted minister,not sparing even the powerful nephew of Atal Behari Bajpai.When can we expect the party of Gandhiji,Jawahar Lal Nehru and Sardar Patel to follow suit ?.

A goof – up !
I am rather surprised to read the column in the Forum today by one Shri Ramesh Chandra who has attributed to me the suggestion about increasing the retirement age to 62 years. I have not written on the subject. For the information of the writer I am not in favour of increasing the retirement age and share his concern on such a proposal. As a matter of fact I have very strong views even on extension or re-employement of retired people. There appears to be some goof-up in editing. For the information of your columnist I am a retired civil servant. Please do clarify this.
Aarti Khosla

No comparison
A Deputy Secretary in he GOI, briefs a Minister, prepares cabinet notes/Bills and works just at 3 levels below the Secretary and has frequent inter action with the Secretary and even with the Minister. He handles policy issues concerning the whole Nation.
A Lt. Colonel may not have access even to a Major General, leave alone the Minister or the Defence Secretary. He is not required to handle any policy issue concerning the the Nation. File pushing has to be done with the application of mind and not by firing guns.

What action has been taken ?
As reported, our Law Minister in one of the function stated "Poor governance and lack of commitment among the civil servants led to spread of naxal activities in 182 districts of the country".
I was also in that function and a person was telling that the Public grievance website of the Law Ministry where justice has to be given to the public is not even seen by the Law Ministry, what does he speak of commitment Why can’t officers in the law Ministry see to these vital points in their office through which public reaches them for justice . The mechanism of public grievance system is so futile that public has lost faith in them
Comparisons Are Necessary:

CPMFs are a distinct layer between the Army & Police. Assigning the leadership of the CPMFs with the IPS only propagates the inefficiencies and failures of the police to the CPMFs, which are created as the second potent weapon of the government after the police have failed. Similarly, the Generals at the helm of affairs in the CPMFs will only pre-empt the army’s doctrines and consequently huge collateral damages that induction of the army would imply. let them be led by their own leaders.

A rejected second grade leadership of the CPMFs, whether in form of Defence or the IPS will only provide second grade results which you have been seeing all these years. Their present vision of leadership is not letting the CPMFs excel or becoming the best. Its high time government recognized the unflinching faithfulness of the men in CPMFs who do not even refrain from becoming the cannon fodder despite knowing fully well the lunacy of the decisions taken by their outsider masters who are totally detached from the organization's ethos or working.
