Aaj Ki Aawaz

Now Sonia has taken on the 'baton' from Rahul to go after Maya!!!
There is no doubt the UP Cops in Noida did go overboard and were downright cruel and need to be punished!!!
But Rahul came to Maya's and her Police Force's assistance ............
by making false allegations he's made what they actually did look like 'nothing'........
the murder and rape charges have actually absolved them of the cruelty they actually inflicted!!!
And Congress has not been able to come up with any proof to back Rahul's wild allegations!!!! Rahul's now being accused of misleading the Nation!!!!
Of course he's not accountable to us ......
but his stock has fallen more!!!! Henceforth when he makes allegations people will take his allegations with a pinch of salt!!!!
Rahul's grown a stubble..... hope he's not taken a vow that he'll not shave till he de-thrones Maya!!!!
There's this guy in US who had vowed not to cut his hair or shave till Osama was killed....
post Osama's killing he cut his hair and beard..... took 3 barbers to do the job.......
I'm sure if Rahul takes this vow and if it is fulfilled he will get 3 Dalit Barbers to do the job!!!!
Last time Sonia paid dearly for her Maut ka Saudagar war cry and my guess is she's going to pay for her 'andher nagri' war cry now!!!!
Hasn't she heard of cutting losses........ Rahul's done enough damage...... just let this matter die its natural death........
we Indians are known for our short memories..... some other issue comes up and we move on!!!!

Sonia says UP is andher nagri...... but Madam aap ka toh chaupat hai Raaj!!!!

Abh toh from doing wrong things Sarkaar mein kissi ko nahi aathi hai laaj!!!

Systematic failure in our internal security!!!!! The Terror List is more like an Error List!!! One accused on the terror list is out on bail and lives in Thane, one is in Jail and one is dead!!!! Then CBI goes to Denmark to get Kim Davy extradited to India with an expired warrant ........ fact is like Q Sarkaar wants to keep Davy out..... so in this case what we are calling inefficiency is being looked on by Sarkaar as CBI's efficiency!!! And Home Ministry is behaving like it's a post office.... receives lists and forwards the lists...... what a joke????? Pakistan now has ammunition to bombard our Terror List.......what do you think Pakistan will do with the revised Terror List India is sending...... citing the previous list thye'll blow the amended list to smithereens????? Fact is the Home Ministry is responsible for all this bungling!! Home Ministry has to have its eye on the ball.... but as the HM is too busy politicking or trying to interfere in other Ministries so his own Ministry is suffering!! People now say CBI is Centre for Bungling Investigation....... why blame CBI...... its Officers are a demoralized lot..... they are ordered to hound the innocent and let off the criminals!!!! Be it Q or various disproportionate assets case or 2 G or CWG, one gets to see CBI being puppeteered by the Government!!!! PC taking moral responsibility for these blunders should resign...... this is needed for India's reputation overseas....... by firing a few Officials our reputation overseas is not going to be redeemed!!!! In such blunders its customary that the top man goes!!!!

Andher Nagri ke chaupat Home Ministry!!!!!

Despite his bumbling why Andher Nagri's PM thinks PC is efficient is a mystery?????

Prior to entering CM's Office hope Mamtha gets the ghosts of Stalin, Lenin and Mao exorcised from the Office!!! Hope she places a statue of Goddess Durga in the Office....... keep the Commie bhooths at bay!!! To be fair to the Commies.... these guys were honest....... but there was a way to appease them....... wine and dine them, send them on overseas trips etc....... Commies love to live 'on the house' when they can!!!! Post the indirect Commie rule during UPA 1 most the Commie bigwigs cribbed about the change in their lifestyles!!!! Karat must go........ he's instrumental for the fall of Communism!!!!! And I think for this he should be rewarded the Bharat Ratna!!!!! Communism is bad for a Nation...... it does not want the Nation to progress..... it's comfortable and thrives in people's misery and the loyalties of the Commies are with their Masters in Beijing or Moscow!!! In Kerala Communism did not fight back.... this was VS's fight back! Compared to other Netas Commie Netas are 'clean' but then their objectives are wrong...... very much like our Mohna!!!

Didi you've thrown Commies out but you could be instrumental in Communism's revival!!

If your Raaj is chaupat then this could bring about Communism's survival!!

Karuna is a seasoned Neta and he knows there is no way Kani can be kept out of jail!!!! If the system was working to get Kani out of jail all the Honchos is jail in the 2 G matter by now would have got bail!!!! So if you ask me now in DMK and Congress's relations Kani's arrest has been factored in!!! DMK needs a Delhi hold...... and Congress is now more confident to take on Karuna!!! Insiders say Congress Leaders are envious of the fact that DMK has been able to make so much moolah!!!! I think now Karuna needs to go to Delhi and promise Congress Leaders gifts like he promised the TN voters!!!!! He'll have to make that he gives something substantial because Congress now knows what kind of money has been made........ hard cash would be the best option!!!!! By the way betting markets say Kani is going to be taken in.... there is also heavy derivative betting..... like judge will fall ill........if she goes inside she'll have plenty of time to pen poetry......... Summer time is a bad time to go to jail, So I'm going to bear the heat till I get bail!!! Rose in jail remains a rose, But Rose's petals get frayed when it has to bathe in Jail under a hose!!!

Abh tehra kya hogaa Karuna...... your Gabbar lives in Poes Garden!!!!

Karuna should now be worried as towards him now his current Mai Baap Congress's attitude will harden!!

Humility paid dividends
The proposal for petroleum refinery at Bina, Madhya Pradesh which was dedicated to the nation by the Prime Minister was pending for two decades as the State departments of Industry, Taxation and Finance could never see eye to eye. When Babulal Gaur became the Chief Minister, he told the Secretaries concerned that this project will transform the economy of Bundelkhand area; and in his typical style added that he will be personally grateful to them if they could help him in this regard. The Chief Secretary called a meeting of concerned Secretaries - Vishwapati Trivedi, Anand Asthana and Sumit Bose and the project was cleared in no time. Several such projects (including Auto testing track near Indore) were inplemented during Gaur's tenure. Padma Bhushan M. N. Buch in his book "When the harvest moon is blue" has named Gaur as one of the few successful Chief Ministers of the State though his tenure was rather short and he did not cultivate the media effectively.

DEBATE
Does ACC system have its relevance for all posts?
Does the ACC system has its relevance as far as appointment of incumbents for all posts was concerned? It is time consuming. Under the system it is examined at each level and in every Ministry there are at least six levels. Broadly speaking it goes from concerning Ministry to DoPT Ministry, then to cabinet secretariat and then to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).Finally it goes to the PMO. It is extremely time consuming .In the wake of this please give your valuable views to us.

New Transfer Policy

There is widespread discontent in the Indian postal service officers because of new transfer policy issued by Kapil Sibal. The service association IPSA was not consulted, officers in field not consulted. it is small service but policy of Customs & central excise Department superimposed on the service. the recent SAG posting based on this new policy has led to many complaints & representations & no one has moved from his place.

Institutionalised corruption

Every political party talks about need for controlling corruption. Would any body look at the institutionalised corruption at the Delhi-UP border where every commercial vehicle has to pay Rs.50/- as Entry fee under the table for a day's entry permit to UP?

Appointment of Board level executives in PSUs

So far as appointment of Board level executives in PSUs are concerned, the correct procedure will be that PESB should submit the recommendation to DOP&T without involving administrative Ministry. Every fortnight, there should e ACC meeting to be attended by PM,HM and Minister-in-Charge and decision should be made in the Meeting itself. There is no need for involving Cabinet Secretariat. As regard CVC clearnace, in the case of private candidates, condition stipulated by PESB as per Annexure-II if application form is that candidate has to give a certificate that he does not suffer from any disqualification of Section 274 of Companies Act. We may have similar conditions for executives from Government Sector or alternatively |CVC should be given 15 days time for Vigilance clearance. One a candidate is certified from vigilance angle & recommended by PESB, appointment should not be declined by PESB. The present system of files remaining pending in PMO or Cabinet Secretariat for months together & companies suffering, can not be justified.

Kerala poll results do not augur well

The elections in Kerala and the results do not auger well for the unity and security of our nation. Ever since Nehru allowed a strain of the detested Muslim League who caused the partition of India to continue their political activities in Kerala, the party has been growing from strength to strength ably supported by the Congress. In the recent elections Congress has given more than 50 seats to their UDF partners Muslim League and Kerala Congress, both communal outfits and who put up only Christian and Muslim candidates. Out of 82 seats contested, Congress has given more than 50% of their own seats to Muslims and Christians in order to prove their secular out look. Now Muslim League is asking for a Cabint rank in the centre and flexing their communal agenda to other parts of the country. Congress which had been more or less responsible for the partition, is leading this country to another one.

CAT's judgment can't be treated as landmark

The CAT's judgment of 9.5.2011 cannot be treated as landmark. It is the judgment of the Supreme Court which is treated as landmark. Why did the professional come to a service where you don't have a peon and subordinate staff under you (the nature of work being such) to assist? Why do you forget the various judgments of the Supreme Court that direct recruits in any service cannot get seniority prior to their date of appointment especially the Rudra Sain's case of 2000? The advantage which the direct recruit Section Officers of CSS ( prior to 2003) were getting is not their any service in the country even the Group 'A' or any All Indian Services. A promotee was in position as a Section Officer on a date and that point of time the Direct recruit Section Officer may be in his Second Class. But when the latter comes into service he get seniority over the former because his vacancy is being forwarded year to year. Why seniority is being carry fowarded? It should be the vacancy which should be forwarded and that too for some years. CS Division should consult the Division in DOP&T dealing with the subject with the subject of Seniority and Law Ministry before implementing the CAT's decision and also consult the Department of Expenditure as financial implications will be involved for payment to the 38 officials who are expected to get the relaxation. As they had on their own brought our the Select List, agitated the case in Kolkatta-CAT and Delhi-CAT, it is their moral responsibility to agitate the case further. A.K. Srivastava of CSS had won a case in 200* (Delhi-CA) of 'in-situ promotion' based on constitutional provisions, precedents and various judgments of the High Court/Supreme Court but the DOP&T went ahead and filed an appeal in the HIgh Court which is pending under DB rule. DOP&T should not adopt different yardstick. It is only the Supreme Court which can undo its judgment in Prabha Devi's case and nobody else.

The "Most Unwanted" dereliction of duty!!!

For more than 48 hours now the government is simply trying to sideline the most unwanted dereliction of duty. Not one, not two, perhaps more to be found living in India and Government of India is demanding of Pakistan to "hand over the fugitives" to them! What a shame? What a shame? What a devastation of the administrative machinery in the government? That is the singular achievement of this government of our shadow Prime Minister. Were the PM an elected leader and Leader of the Lok Sabha, such costly mistakes would never have been made. The functioning of the government as per the law has been paralyzed in the past 7 years beyond repair. Appointments are not made on "merit" by the government and the established modes of transacting government business. Instead, political muscle flexing has become the norm. We might not be following the American "spoils system" under the law, but certainly practice that only. How else such unpardonable mistakes happen and happen repeatedly. None other than the highest in the government are responsible for it. Ministries are neither titular organizations nor mere decorations. They get feedback from all concerned e.g. state police, IB, CBI etc. and process the information independently. That is the essence of a senior civil servant becoming the central Home Secretary or a politician of some standing becoming the Home Minister. Everybody might not qualify to be so. The sheer sensitivity of the subjects handled in the Home Ministry or the Defence Ministry broach no error. I shall not cite an example from the sensitive side, but to illustrate my point, give one instance. The execution of a condemned criminal is scheduled to take place early next morning, but a mercy petition reaches the President late previous evening. There are no case papers with the officer entrusted the job late in the evening because the officer concerned has left office. Case papers are not with this officer. If execution is not stopped immediately, the consequences might turn out to be fatal, for it is the President alone who can grant mercy or reject the petition. In those few hours, the orders have to be conveyed and also delivered to the Jail Superintendent. Can the officer afford to be lax? Similarly, the petition is either not examined properly or the papers pertaining to another person are mixed up (like the most unwanted list of fugitives given to Pakistan), can the Home Minister simply sign? There is a system and Home Ministers are known to be not only very intelligent but cautious persons, barring exceptions of course. Unless heads roll, such blunders will become the order of the day, as extensions or re-employment after retirement is on top priority rather than examining communications with a hostile neighbour like Pakistan. No excuses pl: they are obnoxious and offending!

Increase in age of retirement for CGHS Doctors

There are 3 sub-cadres of CGHS doctors-a) Non-Teaching Specialists (working in RML, Safdarjung etc), b) Teaching Specialists working in LHMC, UCMS etc and c) GDMOs working in CGHS dispensaries. Age of retirement for 3 sub-cadres is 62, 65 and 60 yrs respectively. Non-teaching and teaching requires MD/MS/DM degree with 3 years teaching or non-teaching experience before selection through UPSC. Since they join the job quite late that was the reason they have been given extension for retirement age. All three services has one DGHS. Now with 65 yrs of retirement age for Teaching sub-cadre, only teacher could become DGHS and run the patient care of the country with no or little exposure to patients in these medical colleges. Govt should make equal age of retirement for at least teaching and non-teaching consultants, either 62 or 65 so that who so ever is senior could become DGHS and run the govt. health sector in the country.

Audit Paras of C&AG

Request for disclosure of information which went into the making of an Audit Report such as audit observations, marginal notes, audit notes and audit memos, etc. was denied claiming that these intermediary
documents are merely working papers and are not within realm of "Information" under the RTI Act. The CIC ordered for disclosure holding that disclosure could not be said to constitute a breach of privilege of the House.

Comments

The Article 151 of the Constitution provides that the reports of the C&AG shall be laid before the Legislature. However, it is silent about the draft report, half margins or draft audit notes. Therefore, the
Parliamentary privileges cannot be stretched to mean that every single item of information held anywhere, that may in future become part of the proceeding before the Parliamentary Committee, should be exempt
from disclosure. In view of the dominating role acquired by the C&AG reports in the media in cases of alleged corruption; this case has immense implications for bureaucrats.
