Aaj Ki Aawaz

SC has delivered verdict in Jessica case!!!!
And at long last Manu’s vakeel Jethmalani showed grace!!
 
Jethmalani accepted SC’s verdict and said this time Media did not interfere!!
But why was there in Public  ‘ Manu will get away fear’???
 
Because rich and famous end up getting from SC relief!!
Rich and famous are bale to wrangle from SC relief is the belief!!
 
See Laloo how he has thumbed his nose at propriety and Law!!
In the Laloo’s DA case he ‘wrangling out’ is what we saw!!
 
In fact when people like Laloo , Mulayam and Maya say in SC they have belief!
Democracy and Law should actually be in grief!!
 
Like all these people also say in CBI we trust!
And we’ve all seen how CBI makes ‘cake walk’ cases go bust!!
 
This is what the perception Nationwide is!!!
That when it comes to the rich and powerful law goes tai tai fiss!!
 
Lower the chori amount and more you will pay!!
And higher amount more are chances of you getting away!!
 
How can BJP term Tharoor’s sacking as its jeeth???
What did BJP do when Mahajan made propriety literally seethe???
 
In fact Congress in this case can show BJP its tongue!!!
Despite all the info was Mahajan out of the Cabinet flung????
 
Post Tehelka what did BJP do???
Did it respond to our boo after boo!!
 
BJP targeted the messenger and anyone they felt was associated with him!!
Forgot about the revelations that were indeed very very grim!!
 
Now Ghadkari says Pawar is not solely responsible for inflation!!
Whereas it is a fact that during UPA’s both stints inflation is his creation!!!
 
He’s helped speculators and hoarders!!!
And 'fly by night' exporters and importers!!
 
Allowed exports at Rs. 20 and then the same commodity has been imported at Rs.220!
Literally splurged when there has been plenty!!
 
Did not bother to plan or even think for tomorrow or kall!!!!
Or look for storage and curtailing wastage ka hull (solution)!!
 
Wait for more in IPL and BCCI to come out!!!
Aur Ghadkari ke clear ho jaye ge doubt!!
 
Speaking of IPL ….. now Modi should be investigated!!!
A lot of dubious wealth for himself and his pals he has created!!
 
And Pawar is in the know but still he gave Modi a clean chit!!!
Seems Modi sent Pawar a chit!!
 
In the chit Modi wrote ‘ I’ll sink but I’ll take you with me’!!!!
And this made Pawar literally pee!!
 
By the way who are the two Ministers being investigated by Income Tax!
Maybe ‘into Hotel Boot Out’ will soon check in two Pax!!
 
Pawar is a smart cookie and it’s taken for granted that he can never be caught!!
All charges against him has come to a naught!!
 
Confucius says…… someday somewhere your deeds catch up!!!
And then it is time to pay up!!

Flash.... Laloo says Nationalize BCCI and IPL and put both under Ministry of Khel!!
And Kalmadi will step in and both Bodies will fail!!!

I think what is needed is both be made transparent!!!
And its people like Pawar and Modi who have brought the rot in and this is apparent!

Mulayam says Women's Bill will make election process even more corrupt!!!
How did idea in his pee wee brain erupt?????

Seems he's been keeping company with wrong kind of women!!!
Women in Indian politics have proven to be better behaved and less corrupt than men!

They can’t be equated with Tharoor
Pawar, Praful and Raja are ministers, because they are the nominees of parties, on whose support, Congress has formed the government. PM or for that matter, Congress has no say in their appointments. So they can’t be equated with Tharoor.

Throor was done in by the electronic media
No one was asked to resign for having facilitated escape of Quotrochhi or for defreezing of his bank accounts inspite of Parliament having been stalled several times. With the sacking of Shashi Throor , no one should be surprised if Lalit Modi becomes more powerful notwithstanding IT searches. Shashi Throor was done in by the electronic media who sensed a great opportunity to increase their TRP rating after Sania -Shoeb issue became stale and those wanting to be seen as upholders of propriety. After all Shashi Throor new to the operating political environment was expandable and a small fry as no one has the guts to reach those who are deeply into everything except that which is their official responsibility. Now shorn of ministerial responsibility and having become wise about the working of political system and various operators, Shash Throor can express himself more freely and pursue his interest of promoting cricket in his home state (in case he is still interested)Best of luck to Shashi Throor in his future endeavours.

Are English and Maths Responsible?
This refers to observation of one of the viewer that it is written Examination in English and Compulsory Maths for CDS conducted by the UPSC for Defence Forces that has resulted in the shortfall of officers in the Defence Forces. Actually it is not so. It is not the written examination but the Services Selection Board tests and proceedings that are uncompromisable. Call for interview is based on merit in written examination and about four times the number of vacancies.

It is a general lack in minimum acceptable and trainable qualities of character, what are called "Officer Like Qualities" amongst the candidates which results in low intake. These qualities have proved the test of time and are of very highly assessable and discernable types. No other Service in India including the so called "All India" types have to undergo such rigorous scrutiny. That is uncontestable and a matter of fact. One without those qualities is fit to become an IAS or IPS but not a Defence Forces officer.
It is lack in required character qualities in candidates which may hinder them from meeting the functional requirements of the organisation and in standing for the highest and supreme sacrifice. That actually is the reason for low selection rate besides the reality that zealous and competitive bureaucracies have pushed them economically, socially and emotionally pretty down.

English and Maths are learnable but not the basic character qualities which an young graduate officer will be called upon to exhibit after one and a half years training along with and in command of the finest soldiers on the Earth. Well one may become a police officer or bureaucrat by mugging for what is to be written on some pieces of papers but not a "Defence Service Officer" who has to be seen and tested to be believed.

Who will take care of the delay in the CVC and the corruption at the level of various CVO's? These institutions need to be under Vigilance surveillance for their delays. How many people have been even issued a memo, forget a chargesheet, during the last few years? It is time now that someone should sell the cat.

Remarks not fair
This is about the remark by Amitab about the Academic pursuit of Mrs. Renuka Jain Gupta. Academic pursuit does not necessarily lead to neglect of duties. I know Ms. Jain Gupta personally and as far as I know, she has been performing equally well in her official position also.Let there be no misconception in this regard.
K R Gatti

I fully agree with you Veer
In the long list of Indian martyrs who have laid down their lives in the service of the nation, IPS is conspicuous because of its absence. IT is the CPO officers who have faced bullets. When the going gets tough, it is the tough (CPO Officers) who get going. IPS manage a deputation outside the state or go on study tour to Harward to earn a self serving MBA. IPS from trouble torn states should not be allowed to go on deputation. It would atleast make them have a stake in the well being of their state which other wise is sadly lacking.

Naxal violence
Yesterday, I was listening an interview of a leading intellectual Mrs. Arundhati Roy on C.N.N-I.B.N channel. The main topic was maoist-naxallite violence. She was trying to criticize the operation Green Hunt which aims at flushing out Naxal terrorists by military operations. She was trying to say that this strategy was influenced by corporate sector and was wrong. She wanted to deal with Naxal issue as a socio-economic problem rather than a law and order issue. It was quite intriguing to me that forces of disintegration in our country get such an intellectual support cover which is often utilized by the forces out of India to justify the allegation of state sponsored violence and violation of human rights being rampant in India. This digresses the focus of strategy only to the benefit of murders and criminals by giving them some sort of ideological tonic and a sense of pride. They pose themselves as an enemy of Indian state and thus lead conflict to international networking and logistical support demand from forces outside India. It is very sad state of affairs. If socio-economic logic is given to justify such grave Naxal killers then IPC of India should be scrapped because every thief, murderer belonging to poor class can justify his crime by such an anarchical philosophy. Will we accept this? A civil society believes in the law and order and the State playing proactive role in improving the living standards of its people specially those who are at the bottom of pyramid. But taking law and order in their hand and killing the forces of the state or innocent public can neither be justified nor should be justified if we want to see our sovereignty and integrity intact.
The forest dominated and inaccessible areas where Naxals operate, need to be combed by all the forces of Indian state to insure that such terrorists are brought to the justice. However in this process the cooperation of tribals is very much relevant along with guarantee to them of not being victimized either by naxals or security forces. The Mafia’s and other such people involved in illegal exploitation of wealth of forests in theses areas must strictly be brought to the justice. As soon as the situation returns to normalcy, massive socio-economic and educational programmes to should be launched to bring tribals in to fold of national main stream…… of course… respecting their cultural identity. Hence operation Green Hunt needs to be revisited and should be made a war like strategy involving all the resources at the disposal of Indian state. This needs strong will power and I am confident that our Home Minister of India has that capability and leadership qualities. We all should pray to god to make him successful in this task like Sardar Patel did once by integrating princely states in India by Machiavellian approach.
