Aaj Ki Aawaz

Another cover up and another lie or jhoot!!!

The Thomas CVC Affair is making Public hoot!!

Government's stand that 'on Thomas's past Mohna was not in the know'!!!

Either way to Mohna's credibility is a huge blow!!

And then what did he do when he came to know?????

Mohna credibility has hit a new low!!

And all know for whom Mohna is putting his reputation at stake!!

It is for Madam Sonia .... this is what is majority of India's take!!

Imagine the CVC of India is appointed!!!

And no background check is done and as CVC he is anointed!!

Sushma put her dissenting note and she must have told Mohna why!!!!

Another indicator to show that Sarkaar karr rahi hai lie!!

If you recall during the Bofors days Congress 'played every trick in the book'!!

To get the Bofors commission beneficiaries off the hook!!

History repeats itself and now be it CWG or 2 G or Thomas the same is being repeated!

And propriety and justice are being defeated!!

Hope Madam is not reading books on Emergency and history repeats itself in this too!

And Democracy is flushed down the loo!!

Because what's being done is just self preservation - Degree 2!!!!

And it'll be Degree 3 if Emergency is declared and Democracy flushed down the loo!!

Because if Degree 2 fails then Degree 3 has to follow!!!

Degree 3 in matters of subverting justice beats Degree 2 hollow!!

That is why Nation wants to know what was Sonia doing on Republic Day!!

Why out of sight she chose to stay??????

Was she reading books on The Emergency or was it because she was ill or bimaar??

Kya padhe gi Desh aur humm ko Emergency ki phir se maar?????

Was Montek awarded the Padma Award for misleading the Nation?????

Defiles the objective of Padma Award's creation!!

He's fibbed and lied on inflation time and again and now on 2 G scam!!

By awarding him the Padma Award this Award ko Sarkaar ne kiya hai damn!!

In Davos Montek tried to look like a cad!!!

India's Fibbing Technocrat with a 'dupatta muffler' prancing about looked bad!!

Does he think those attending do not know the games he's been up to?????

In fact I'd say he went there with whick mooh?????

Though of course he has shown Madam Sonia his potential!!

If he wants to become her GM he knowsn ' blatant fibbing' is abs essential!!

Mohna has been doing this ..... but he started off with sack loads of credibility!!

And in times of crisis his dependability!!

Montek cannot start like this!!!

The credibility and dependability bus he sure did miss!!

BJP knew the Tiranga Yatra would not be allowed to enter J&K State!!

They knew from the start the Yatra's fate!!

So why was a Plan B not put in place??????

Some BJP activists sneak into the Valley before Yatra started and hide in a hiding place!

And a day or two before the 26th sneak into Lal Chowk and hoist the flag!!!

Bottom line is in being daring BJP sure does lag!!!

A day or two before 26th would have been just the same!!!

Then on not being able to hoist flag on 26th Sarkaar ko BJP could blame and shame!!

Fact is they are good sitting in living rooms and shouting slogans and ranting!!

But when it comes to being daring you find them 'panting'!!!!

Confucius says.....commitment and conviction go together and BJP lacks both!

Arre bhai for a Desh Bhagat the most sweetest end is 'Desh ke liye mauth'!!

Adds... if they say the flag hoisting was out of Desh Bhakti!!!

Why did they buckle under Sarkaar's 'sakhthi' (heavy handedness)!!!

He currently serves in Gujarat and lives with his family in Ahmedabad. It took him ten years to pen down his tricky, slick perspective! Pyramid of Virgin dreams published by Rupa is Vipul Mittra,s first work of fiction and is a witty, satiric description of the life of Kartikeya Kukreja, the protagonist of the book and a bureaucrat who sees life around him in a quirky, sardonic manner. It is the story of a middle-class boy, his growing years, and his perceptions of bureaucracy and society. The story oscillates between Kartikeya's dreams and reality. It describes his fantasies, unfulfilled virgin dreams and the happenings within and outside the pyramid of Indian bureaucracy.

Reservation issue needs to be clarified

The reservation issue, which had struck down the state government's policy of giving fast track promotions to Meena and other SC castes within SPS and pushing them up in the waiting slots for conferred IPS, needs to be clarified as directed by Supreme Court. The issue also involves other state officers in RAS etc. The case was fought by a bright RAS officer who ultimately won in the Supreme Court.

PS

Joke of the Century

The Solicitor General's contention that the facts regarding PJ Thomas's involvement in the case were not available with the Government is surprising. Is this not reflective of the performance of DOP & T headed by the Prime minister himself.

Telling lies in SC

How can one tell one's children or grandchildren not to tell lies as lying is a sin when the people at top of the rung in Governance tell blatant lies and that too in the Supreme Court of India. One does not know whether to laugh or cry on the untruth spoken before the court that those who decided (barring one member) did not know about the corruption charges against the CVC at the time of his appointment. I thought and having worked in government, that for every appointment or promotion even at much junior level fresh vigilance clearance is the requirement. How come for the post of Chief Vigilance Commissioner (a statutory post) for which the selection takes place at such high level with Prime Minister, Home Minister and the Leader of the opposition, the selection can be so casual. It is obvious that the incumbent was the personal choice of somebody powerful and the selection was a mere formality over ruling the objection of the leader of the opposition. Nor is this the only instance of Government posting wrong and known dishonest people on important posts resulting in bad governance and growing corruption making life difficult for honest civil servants who meet the fate of Sonawane. One shudders to think of the future of this country. While we go on touting our economic growth the country is going downhill on all other fronts. One wonders in the words of Urdu poet "har shakh par ullu baithe hai, anjame gulistan kaya hoga".
