RTI
Dissertation
Certified copy of an M. Tech. dissertation available in the library
was refused claiming fiduciary relationship between the authority
conducting the examination and examiners. The appellant made a charge
of plagiarism and produced a copy of the said dissertation and also a
purported copy of the dissertation from which it was plagiarised. The
PIO raised the issue whether a person can use RTI to demand
photocopies of the other books kept in the library.

Noting that the Institute appears to be well aware of this charge and
perhaps does not wish to correct anything, the Commission held that
plagiarism is one of the worst forms of corruption. The Commission
observed that even if an exemption clause of Section 8(1) applies,
larger public interest would dictate that the information must be
disclosed. Without going into the issues of whether any exemption
applies, the Commission ordered that the attested photocopy of the
dissertation must be given to the appellant free of cost.
Comments
While the issue of providing photocopies of books in Library has
remained unanswered, the order of providing copies of dissertation
would help in curbing blatant copying of research work.

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Congress candidate got trounced in Ellenabad by Chautala’s son!!!
In by Hooda’s skewed politics Congress was done!!!
 
What excuse will Hooda now give to High Command????
Because an explanation Sonia will definitely demand!!
 
He may put the blame on ' a lot of my time was taken by the Ruchika case'!!!
And so I could not campaign and loss Congress had to face!!
 
Hooda has indeed lost face!!!
And I feel ‘gunshot has been fired for Haryana CM ki kursi ke liye race’!!!
 
Ghadkari says ‘ BJP’s appeal is not dharam’!!!!
Arrre Ghadkari kuch toh karr sharam!!!
 
BJP’s politics has its roots in Hindu dharam!!!!
And standing up for the Hindu Dharam BJP feels is its karam!!!
 
Seems Ghadkari had too much to eat for lunch and got fuzzy in his head!!!
And please do remember by the demands of his tummy this man is led!!!
 
BJP can do what it wants but the dye has been cast!!!!
BJP is seen as a Hindu Party and Ghadkari needs to realize this fast!!!!
 
Yes BJP can give itself a patriotic hue but still the Hindu tag will remain!!!
So 'we are not a Party that stands up for Hinduism Ghadkari kyon karr raha hai feign?

IPCC’s Chairman says he will not resign for the ‘Himalayan blunder’!!!!
After the allegations many felt his IPCC Chairmanship he would surrender!!!!
 
He’s not answered allegations on his using IPCC to create fear and profit from it,
Please do remember in TERI he also does ‘sit’!!!
 
And he terms the ‘Himalayan blunder’ as just one error in a voluminous Report!
To the allegations from Pachauri this sure is a  ‘shameless retort’!!!
 
Just like the Pharma Giants created swine flu scare to rake in profits!!!
Some Countries took huge economic hits!!!

Create fear and then if you have the means milk this fear to the maximum!!!
And its being alleged he's already raked in a neat sum!!
 
Both Paki and Aussie cricketers should not be allowed to play on Indian soil!!!
Both make patriotic Indian blood boil!!!
 
And when Pakistan says ‘more 26/11 kind of attacks we cannot stop’!!!
And when availability of Players is on IPL Team owners list ke top!!!!
 
So aren’t they right by not bidding for cricketers from Paksitan!!!
Paki players will not come themselves to play if there is another attack on Hindustan!
 
Amar has realized that he cannot get another Mulayam who’ll give him the same importance!
Now Amar is taking ‘obedient soldier of SP stance’!!!!
 
He says ‘ I’ll convince my Leader meaning Mulayam on break up of Uttar Pradesh’!!!
After this he’s keeping his fingers crossed that Mulayam got his ‘ my Leader’ sandesh!
 
Okay Amar had his plus points and Mulayam will miss some of these!!!
But minus Amar SP’s samaajwaad could get life ka new lease!
 
Confucius says ….I still feel Amar should give up politics and plunge headlong into Bollywood!!!
With the ultimate objective that he’ll become a big name in Hollywood !!!
 
Adds…… he should Produce movies and could even script and act in a few!!!!
And the ‘cherry on the cake’ for him will be at his door starlets ki queue!!!

A boon in disguise
S.D.Pradhan’s abrupt resignation as Chairman of Task Force on Intelligence is a move difficult to understand. The cause of his action is difficult to anticipate and analyze. S. D. Pradhan's proximity to the Gandhi family dates back to early seventies when he was selected for a specialized division of R & AW and Pradhan had to quit after Mrs. Gandhi's defeat in the 77 Elections. Late Smt. Indira Gandhi after coming to power in the eighties handpicked him again to write the official account of 1971 war, a project that was close to her heart and posted him in the Ministry of Defense.
Rajiv Gandhi brought Pradhan to Joint Intelligence Committee, which was under the Cabinet Secretariat then, after he became Prime Minister of India. Pradhan known for his professional competencies found a God Father in Rajiv Gandhi who acknowledged Pradhan’s knowledge and intelligence acumen for writing reports. Steadily Pradhan rose to the highest position in JIC as its Chairman, unheard for a person from non- uniform service.
It’s a well-established fact that Pradhan got freedom to work as JIC Chairman at the behest of present Home Minister Chidambram, and is widely believed that H.M was the man behind the effort of Government to elevate Pradhan as JIC Chairman when JIC was reestablished. Being enamored by the report of S.D.Pradhan on improvement of Intelligence Mechanism post 26/11 attacks, Home Minister wanted Pradhan to handle formation of NCTC. Sudden resignation by Pradhan gives rise to doubt that making of Menon as NSA could have hurt him, as Menon was quite junior. Pradhan’s apprehension of reporting to a junior officer as NSA might have triggered his resignation.
NSA in NDA Government, Brajesh Mishra too acknowledged Pradhan’s professional competencies and used his experience and knack for drafting reports to draft the constitution of National Security Council (NSCS), which was formally drafted under The Chairmanship of the then Dy Chairman Planning Commission, Sri K.C.Pant. M.K.Narayanan too consulted Pradhan on issues that perplexed him. Narayan a hardcore Intelligence man relied on Pradhan for crucial advise and inputs, more to do with professional competency than anything else.
Rajesh, New Delhi
Pradhan is Czarina of MKN

Please note S D Pradhan does not belong to IAS or IPS or any organized central service like the direct cadres of IB or RAW. News papers describing him as Intelligence Czar is the biggest joke. He can be best described as Czarina of M K Narayanan ,the then Intelligence Czar.

"NSA-- the change of guard."
I fully agree with A K Saxena's suggestion regarding restructuring of the National Security Council Sectt.This body must be brought under the charge of the Home Minister and the PM instead of the Cabinet Secretary.The induction of consultants to this body on contractual basis must be investigated.The NSC Sectt has become the parking lot for retired officers rather than professionals.
Col.S K Sharma

Bold views indeed
I compliment A K Saxena for his bold views on the re-structuring of the role of National Security Advisor. An IFS officer has no professional knowledge about Security matters.His role must be confined to foreign policy alone.
