Aaj Ki Aawaz

Paki Foreign Secretary Bashir called a Press Conference and in it he lied and lied!!!!

If it is put diplomatically then into a million knots himself he tied!!

He says US violated Pakis sovereignty ..... rape!!

It's known that US has a 'enter at will and do what you want pass' to Pakistan so all Pakis could do was gape!!

US has given Pakistan $ 20 Billion as dole and 5 Billion more is in the pipeline!!!

So Bashit needs to cross check with Paki PM jiss ne entry pass kiya hai sign!!!

Tying himself more he says 'this mission iscthe result of a strategic alliance between Pakistan and USA'!

Strategic alliance was after the attack started US told Pakistan and like a doggy 'dead' Pakistan did play!!!

And Pakistan cannot take on USA on what it terms as 'rape' so Bashir's challenging us!!!!!

Arre India ko kyon karr raha hau yeh cuss?????

The Bashir does more knot tying by saying Pakistan is doing all it can to fight terror!!!!

He should be taken around the terror training camps so that he can correct this 'intentional error'!!

He also says ISI is doing a great job.......yeah for spreading terror it's doing whatever it can!!!!!

They say ISI was Osama's biggest fan!!!!

Lies .... lies and more lies!!!

When will Pakis realize their lies now no one buys!!!

As he spoke he waved off something time and again.....jounos looked on in surprise!!

There were no flies in the room ...... well for guessing this one there is no prize!!

Bashir was waving off imaginary crows that come to bite when one lies!!

And over the head of Pakistani Leaders, Army and ISI every second a imaginary crow files!

But then being deceitful is Pakistan's hallmark!!!!

Now Pakistan's role in promoting terror is abs stark!!!

A Pakistani Dad wanting to teach his son on what it takes to be a Pakistani ordered him to go to the roof!!

The he ordered his son to jump down and he'll get about being a Pakistani firsthand proof!!

The son said ' if I jump I'll break my bones' but his Dad assured him he'll catch him and not let him get hurt!!!

He jumped down and broke his bones and started crying and this is what his Dad did blurt!!!

'First lesson of being a Pakistani do not even trust even your Dad and lying comes naturally to us'!!!!

In Pakistan if you nakedly lie it is considered as a plus!!!!!

If India were to do a Geronimo what will it be its code name!!!!

Rajiv Gandhi Dusht Nashtikaran Mission or RGDNM the mission they'd name!!

First they'll give the mission a different name and only if the mission is a success then RGDNM it'll be named!!!

If mission fails then the original name will be revealed and all except Sonia will be blamed!!!

Sonia only takes the credit!!!

When things go wrong some scapegoat they always get to blame and discredit!!

But if such a mission is to take place then secrecy will be paramount!!

Weeks in advance there will be Breaking News giving time and date when attack India will mount!!

That's because our Sarkaar is porous!!!!

Transparency here is abs bogus!!

Where there should be total secrecy everything comes out into the Public Domain!!

And where total transparency is required under wraps things remain!!

And what about equipment and armaments for this Mission!!!

Remember here the equipment has been purchased only after 'receipt commission'!

Confucius says.....jiss Desh mein commission ka hai 'boll baala' what will happen to such a Desh!!!!

Even to get an answer to this 'pehle nazraana aap ko karna padhe ga pesh'!!

Flash..... Now Congress has got a political NAC in place!!!

Aim is this NAC will keep the Sarkaar in place!!!!!

This Group was already in individual capacities doing just this!!

Now collectively they'll check out politically what is amiss!!

All hogwash this talk about coordination... just the opposite will take place!!

Yes at a pedestal higher than PM Madam ne select Netas ko karra hai place!!

The usual lot like Pranab Da, Antony etc., have been overlooked!!!

Seems as Rahul did not make it effort was made the 'young this group' looked!!

If Mohna had some self respect he'd resign!!!!

Gutless Mohna is not even going to whine!!

Baba Ramdev's going on a fast to fight corruption...... duplicate!!!

Original is Anna and we know kya hotha hai duplicate ka fate!!

Ramdev will buy crowds to show his fast has got widest support!!!!

And will also purchase many a favourable news report!!

By fasting Ramdev's shown he's totally politically motivated... fixated!!!

That's what his fast has clearly stated!!

Does ACC system have its relevance for all posts?

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.

FORUM

ACC system

I find your question on ACC system? I think more important question would be the current empanelment process which is old and anachronic.

Mohan

Discrimination galores

The post of EO in the DoPT as secretary of the ACC was created to regularize and centralize the appointments but the EO has become the hand maiden of the powers that be. He gets the panel made on phone calls from 10 Janpath, Cab sectt. and PMO in that order. Unfortunate souls who are not part of the lobbies that control these three places do not get to see any of the "lucrative" ministries. Lucrative clearly implies where the Officers earning capacity is phenomenal. This is how the "Raj" is run. The only way to cut the corruption tie up is to appoint impartial and best officers at the key posts. They who are picked up for their knowledge and talent will not hesitate to say the truth to the Secretary or the Minister. So the remedy is to bring transparency and impartiality. Whoever controls and runs the EO is the boss of the game. Let the computer be the boss ! All panels that the EO makes and submits before the CSB should be put on the DoPT website. Once the officers are empaneled their names, education, professional, ACRs, vigilance background should be placed on the website for all to see. All ministries should list the requirements of the posts of DS/ Dir /JS with specifications and this should be on the website of the DoPT too. The EO office should do the match making only as the google results do. Out of 20 attributes needed for the post, who ever matches the most attributes should be appointed. There should be standard fields in the officers attributes and posts attributes. If any reputed consultancy organization is given this this task then they can do it in 6 months. But the question is who will cut the Gordian knot. There should be a PIL in the SC for getting this done? I appeal to the retired senior officers of the civil services to save the youngsters from the evil influence of power! Help them make the destiny of the country and not to encourage them to rape their motherland as they are being trained to do today by the political bosses! Is there any one listening?

Vijay

Select eligible officers from all Group A services

Selection of personnel to man JS and above level posts should be made from eligible officers of all Group A services fulfilling the eligibility criterion on the recommendations of an independent institution. The Secretary/ Minister concerned may differ with these recommendations for good and sufficient reasons which should be brought on record for the sake of transparency and also placed on website after the selection and appointment has been approved by the competent authority.

All profit making PSU's being destroyed deliberately

All profit making PSU's are deliberately being destroyed slowly. In India Airlines too all profitable routes have been handed over to Private Operators, even BSNL has gone the same way, the launching of the mobile services was deliberately delayed to help the private operators. If this be the trend-selling of family heirlooms by turning them to loss making entities then a time will come where all employees will become OutLaws.

Will Retirement age be really increased ?

Does it mean that retirement age of government servants will be enhanced to 62.

Every year during this period such news go around in the air. Is it true this time ?

R Srinivasan

Retirement age

Retirement age should not be enhanced to 62. After 60yrs in the job, experienced people should contribute their services for society. Moreover there will be more opportunity for youngsters in the job.

CBDT staff expects changes in transfers

Even though the CBDT has passed its annual transfer and posting orders, officers are not joining in the unwanted stations. They are openly saying that the Chairman CBDT is retiring this month and hence they expect changes in the orders from the next chairman. Shortage charges like Chennai, Kolkata and the North East are reeling under shortages while these CIT and Adll CIT officers are busy courting the future chairpersons. It is an appeal to the present chairman Sudhir Chandra who has revolutionized the entire department to immediately direct that the compliance to all his orders be made immediately.

Rahul K

Kerala Lobby seems to have lost it's wit also

P.J.Thomas could neither become CVC nor retired peacefully. Had he not been posted as CVC he would have retired peace fully. Now he has been landed in hot water. All due to short sightedness of Kerala lobby.

U C Sharma

Looked like Dushehara celebrations

The spontaneous outflow of joyous raptures in America outside the White House and at ground zero, on hearing of the death of Osama Bin Laden, reminded me of the Dushehara celebrations in India every year, to celebrate the death of another name of terror called Ravan in the ancient times. The joy must have been many times more when the ten headed Ravan was killed by Ram in the ancient times. That Ravan had the unique characterstics that a new head used to grow if one of his heads were cut. So he emerged victorious in the battle. Besides he had the technological advantage of waging his war while remaining invisible to the enemy. Isn't it like the contemporary terror situation in the world? There lies the relief and expression of joy by mankind not only in America but the world over! The number of viewers of the coverage of the operation must have beaten the numbers of those who watched the Royal Wedding a few days earlier only. Humanity loves peace and love, not anarchy and hatred. The death of Osama may be the festival of Dushera, but humanity still waits to celebrate the festival of Diwali: the unique festival of light(knowledge from ignorance) and universal happiness(vasudhev kutumbakam= the globe is but one family). If Osama's death could usher in a sense of Diwali among peoples across the world, it would be a true celebration.

Constitution of bench by the SC

The CIC observed that the information whether the Registry of the Supreme Court (SC) has placed certain papers before the Chief Justice of India for constitution of a Bench as directed in the SC Order in the SLP No. 32855/2009 is plainly administrative in nature. It is difficult to imagine how the disclosure of such information could cause any abrogation of the independence of the judiciary. The CIC directed to provide information on action taken by the SC Registry and also provide copy of the order, if any, for constituting a Bench of appropriate strength for further hearing on the SLP. The CIC further directed to provide a copy of the document, if any, confirming the news about the Hon'ble Chief Justice of India advising Karnataka Chief Justice Hon'ble Mr. Justice PD Dinakaran to go on leave.

Comments

While the CIC deserves applause for the interpretation of the RTI Act, is it not surprising that the CPIO of the mighty Supreme Court of India cannot decipher one of the simplest Acts of the independent India? Even earlier, the CPIO of SC has received a rap on the knuckles for similar aberrations.
