What people say about us !

Really superb.

P P Kalra

Aaj Ki Aawaz

I'm very sure that after viewing what took place in Lok Sabha pre and post the introduction of Lokpal Bill the Public's hate meter for our Netas must have taken a full circle!!! I did a mini survey of my own and asked people from various walks of life and general consensus was that Congress would never allow a strong Lokpal..... most felt Netas in general were scared of a strong Lokpal!!!

And then Netas say 'why are we portrayed as Gabbar'!!!
They forget that Public has become shaana and on their true intentions Public has khabar!!

Congress has played a mischievous trick by including minority reservation and Article 253 in the Lokpal Bill... and the corrigenda was a joke. I'd like to see what the Courts will say on all three???? There is no reservation in Judiciary, CVC and CAG..... and how can bill that's been in the works for 40 years come under this Article 253... when demands for this Law came up UN did not even know what corruption was!! Any Body that is in the domain of dispensing Justice should be kept away from an kind of reservation.... there cannot be an iota of bias!!!

Deflect and delay was the Mission!!!
Waylay the fight against 'commission' (ghoss)!!

Sushma very rightly pointed out to the Law on both reservation and Article 253.......but Congress says there is no such provision.....as is often seen 'Constitution is twisted' to suit agendas!!! Court , as long as the Bench that hears this is not like some of the CJI's we've had, will Order that both points are not as per the 'true intention of the Constitution'!! Very rightly Yahswant Sinha pointed to the Corrigenda.... a Corrigenda should not change the agenda..... it only corrects mistakes!!! The Stepney Speaker very unfairly did not allow Sinha time to expound on this..... funnily he let Laloo clown about for more than half an hour!!

But worry remains ......will BJP in the end allow the Bill to pass via a 'walk out'???
BJP too is against CBI autonomy and that is why on BJP's intentions there is doubt!

Laloo.... now every circus, movie, skit has to have a Joker and Laloo is the Lok Sabha's Jester!!!! He took it on himself to represent the House to joke about Team Anna......he said Parliament cannot be run from 'the street'!!! Well then why do MPs to get elected canvass for votes on 'the street'??? Fact of the matter if Anna did not have the credibility and selflessness Congress would have ignored him.... aren't they ignoring another fast in India's East!!! Fact is Anna is recognized as a Gandhian... he's never claimed to be India's Gandhi 2!!! Laloo also demeaned the voters when he said.... we come to the House with great difficulty after doing salaam to the electorate day and night!!! And as expected Sonia and Rahul enjoyed his speech...... he was doing what he had been requested by Congress to do!! Laloo taunted Congress ... if you sow Babool how can you get mangoes .... in context of the Lokpal Bil!!! Well in Laloo's case he sowed Babool but enjoyed mangoes for 15 years and now some mangoes have started turning to thorns... and if there is a strong Lokpal all the mangoes on his sown Babool tree will turn to thorns!!

Laloo is like the Joker in Batman!!!!
Villain in the garb of a jocular man (clown)!!

It's often said do not believe anything that is Sarkaari!!!! When inflation is killing us Sarkaar's figures will show that inflation is not that bad!!! If a Train accident takes place Sarkaari figures will always be less than the actual figure!!!! Figures that are 'show pieces for the Government' are bloated and figures that show the Government in bad light are reduced.... window dressing is actually a Sarkaari art!!!! The Lokpal that the Government is proposing .... it would be better not to have a Lokpal!!!! Lokpal without an independent investigative Agency will make the Lokpal into a glorified Post Office! Lokpal who cannot order a suo-motto investigation is a Lokpal who will have to 'wear blinkers'!

Like everything Sarkaari ... Sarkaari Lokpal will not be able to perform!!!
Such a Lokpal nahi karr laa saktha reform!!!

The Government's Lokpal Bill is without the doubt work of Messrs. Chiddy & Sibal!!!!! It literally makes the Government the 'karta dharta'........ Lokpal is more like a 'show piece'!!!! Rahul showed glee when demands were made to keep PM out of Lokpal ambit....... and thankfully India is not North Korea, as of yet, that we have to accept him as our Leader!!! Okay Congress's propaganda machinery has 'anointed him as The Great Leader'.... to ensure that we have a say in who will be our PM.... EC should make it mandatory for any Party having 250+ candidates to declare its PM nominee!! Congress will be against this.... if Rahul has to become PM the only available mode for his is the 'parachute route'!!!!

The World is changing and becoming open .. despots and corrupt are being weeded out!!!!
Scum in all Nations is slowly but surely being 'sorted out'!!!!

PS..... In Parliament should one chew gum???? I think Madam needs to take this under consideration.......in fact now the joke doing the rounds is.... now we know from where PC got the chewing gum used in MOF! And Virbhadra Singh should be kept away from Camera glare in Lok Sabha..... he's always nodding off .... and when Pranab Da spoke on the Lokpal Bill Virbhadra used his finger like a oral shovel... removed the offensive material from his teeth and put this material back in his mouth.... all in camera glare.....yuck!!

PAKISTAN WHISPERS
Pakistan: Army and ISI are not controlled by Govt, MoD tells Apex Court

The 'memogate' case took a new turn on Wednesday when Pakistan's Ministry Of Defence (MoD) filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court stating that the government has no control over operations carried out by the Army and the ISI. Earlier on December 15, in the affidavits filed on behalf of the government, the ministries of the interior and external affairs had urged the court to dismiss the petition and also denied any role played by former ambassador to US, Hussain Haqqani. Since this was at variance with the replies by Army Chief Keyani and DG ISI Shuja Pasha who had relying on ISI investigations by Shuja Pasha confirmed the existence of the memo, its delivery to US Admiral Mullen and the role played by Hussain Haqqani the court had asked the MoD to file an affidavit. In a single page affidavit filed on Wednesday the MoD has pleaded its inability to file any affidavit on behalf of the armed forces and the ISI as it has no 'operational control' over them.

DEBATE (1) What is the big issue with 'Sir'

A politician or even a minister may be young in age and experience and he may choose to address as Sir a very senior bureaucrat who may be his father's or older brother's age. He may want to extend due courtesy or show his respect to the longer life-experience of the official. What is the big issue here? Is the politician worth his salt only if he is rude or brusque to officials? This is a pointless and self-destructive argument.

Will the proposed Lokpal look into political acts of corruption ?

I wonder if the proposed Lokpal would ever look into the political acts of corruption rampant in the cany knowledge or wisdom to country. Take for instance the lowering of voting age for citizens to 18 years. Does the vast majority of persons in that age group has any knowledge or wisdom to opine as to who should govern. The increased number of voters in the process only adds to the management issues in polling. This is so even if we ignore the vast number of voters card issued even to children below that age. Apparently all the political parties joined hands to loot the booty of ill-gotten political power. The least that can be done to retrieve the situation is to prescribe minimum age for voting at civic, state and national elections 18,24 and 30 years. This will also segregate the focus of the three tier election process suitably. Presently we have been going by the British practices without thinking that Britain is territorially a very small country compared to India nor it is a federal country like ours. In India elections or bye elections take place every day and the politicians are always busy either deferring harsh decisions or taking decisions like the latest one for the sake of winning elections. National interests are the last priority.

Unfortunate

It is pity. Merit is no way above corruption. Yes, in case of Abhay Khanna and Rajeev Bhargava, both deserving outstanding honest bureaucrats, sidelined as they could not go the way TMC desired and PM had to bow down due to Coalition compulsion , a clear example of sticking to seat selling principles and ethics ?

Let IAC take it up as a fit case of corruption

This could be one of the first few deserving cases coming up before a Jan Lokpal.Didi seems to sleep even as her cohorts ruin what was once a reasonably fair oranisation

Who says the things are good in CGHS?

In CGHS Ayurvedic only there are no medicines. No one hears and no one cares. Government displays a lot of posters in and around Red Cross and Janakpuri but does nothing to improve Allopathic/ Homeopathic as well as Ayurvedic system of medicine. In Ayurvedic hospital, things are so bad that funds are not fully utilized and duplicate medicines are provided to the patients who have no say or approach for problem. Is anyone hearing ?
