Aaj Ki Aawaz

Ghadakari has got his stomach stapled..... he feels this will cure him of his food fixation!!! Fact is as others got busy with agendas during meetings Ghadakari used to be busy with what what was going to be served!!! Modi's going to sit on a fast for three days for 'peace, unity and social harmony', on his 61st birthday which is on Sept 17!!!! NDTV and IBN are already questioning his motive...... of course on Congress's orders!!!! Advani is still in the planning stages of his Yatra..... Anna's statement that without appointing Lok Ayukts in BJP ruled States the Yatra would look 'empty', has got Advani thinking!! If Advani thinks he'll be able to snatch Anna's initiative via this Yatra then he's being a 'Alice in Wonderland'!!! Quite a few BJP Leaders are now rallying around Advani ....... majboori.......this was kick started after SC judgement and Press saying that now Modi was candidate for PM if BJP comes to power.... these Leaders feel Modi will be a strong PM and will try to curb corruption!!! Advani on the other hand would be compromising!!!

Advani feels the Rath Yatra will put the PM's Chair in his reach!!

Sabak Public Advani ko karre gi teach!!!

Congress feels if BJP indulged in corruption then this gives it a license to be corrupt!! Congress fails to realize it is not answerable to BJP but to The Nation!!!! Everyone knows as Communication Minister Mahajan made 'tonnes', but that does not mean UPA/Congress gets the right to do the same!!! Congress Bhonpoos have just one answer to questions on UPA's corruption....BJP does or did this and that (BJP's corruption)!!! In fact for months Congress used Yeddy to answer all questions on UPA's humongous corruption!!

Fact is when come to corruption NDA was like a lea shooter and Congress is like a Bofors gun!!!

If BJP made a few milligrams Congress has made a tonne!!

Seems the Media literally trooped in to interview Anna on 13th Sept!! Anna must have given more than 10 interviews on this day!!! Congress's friendly Media interviewed him to phasao him by making him look like a RSS/BJP flunky!!! Time and again he was asked about his joining politics..... idiots forgot that Anna has not allowed Netas on the stage during or after his fasts..... BJP Leaders were driven away when they reached the fast site!!! Problem is NDTV and IBN after having failed to hype matters so that SC gave a verdict that implicated Modi in the riots these Channels are now trying to deliver 'Anna on a plate to Congress'!!! IBN keeps harping on Sharmila fasting in Manipuer and tried to phasao Anna by asking him if he'll support Sharmila's fast...... because if he said yes IBN would have been the first to label him as anti National.... but Anna disappointed IBN and just said ' a fact finding team will go to Manipur and after that I'll announce my stand'!!!

Anna remember Congress's friendly Media is out to trap you!

'Kabhi toh Anna phasega'.... no wonders at your door time and again for interviews with you they queue!!

They say Rahul is slowly taking over Momsy's workload!!!! Up to now he's proven he is totally unfit to do so...... evident when Sonia was absent on health grounds!!! The sermon that he gave in Lok Sabha was penned by Sibal.....MPs and Public recognized the trickery in this sermon and for Sibal's trickery Rahul got the flack!!! This is the problem he's not able to take decisions on his own!!!! He lacks knowledge , experience and hindsight/foresight!!! And he lacks charisma!! And now it is a bit too late in the day for him to hone up!! He is hoping UP will change things for him....... he'd better get Congress to start shouting from rooftops that Congress rising from fourth to a podium third finish should be construed as a victory for Congress and he should be credited for this feat!! And now a US Think Tank says in 2014 it'll be Modi versus Rahul for PM's post!!! Unfair fight.....it'll be the Deliverer versus the Shirker.....of course Rahul will be hoping that in the nick of time the Court indicts Modi..... Rahul would any day prefer Advani as BJP's PM nominee!!

Like Advani pulls down BJP and Rahul does the same to Congress!!!!

And Rahul's resume will not even get him a Junior Executive's job is what I'd like to stress!!

PS.... after Ghadakri's operation someone said 'hope now his bhook for paisa will also go down' and if this does take place then it should be made mandatory for all those standing for elections to undergo stapling of the stomach! Inflation is rising and growth falling..... please await Montek 'fibsters' fibs to make you feel ' all is fine' or 'fall in growth is an outfall of our trying to control rising inflation .... but hich despite our best efforts we have not been able to control'!!! Sahib Hockey India has given its employees bakshish for their performance!

Whispersinthecorridors conducted a debate to elicit the opinion of its visitors that how appropriate is the decision taken by the government. And the majority - about 80 percent of them - said that it was wrong to make such a move.

"To make up for the shortfall of officers in the IPS, the government should do away with the deputation of IPS officers to central police, paramilitary, intelligence and investigative agencies. Besides, the IPS officers should also be freed from VIP duties and the remaining requirement, if any, be met through recruitment", they say.

As of now, the surfers say, the strength of officers in the rank of commandant (Selection grade which ordinarily a State police officers reaches on completion of 5 to 6 years of service after confirmation of IPS) and above is about 400 and almost the same is the strength in BSF. Putting together including smaller CPOs like ITBP, SSB, CISF and others, the strength will be more or less equal to the shortage of officers in IPS.

It would be better to induct them into IPS because the officers of CPOs are well conversant with police role and duties and have rich experience in police related job by virtue of their service conditions. The best and viable solution would be to confirm IPS to CPO Officers of the rank of commandant (selection grade) and above with appropriate seniority which will nullify the shortage of IPS officers and also the CPO?S can be well manned by their own cadre officers thus improving the quality of the command of these forces".

Surfers were also concerned that How Indian army can spare young officers when there is already a great shortage of thousands of young officers in armed forces. It is, they feel, therefore, a very bad move as it will increase the shortage of the cutting edge of the Indian Army, that is the Captains and Majors.

Better than that, surfers said, would be to put all IAS, IPS and CPO officers for five years in the Army (intake upper age being 24 years) and then to shift them to cadre (IAS, IPS and CPOs).

"That will solve the problem of shortage of young officers in the Army as also give rich experience to IAS, IPS and CPO officers. On the other hand, all short service officers must be allowed to compete for All India cadres, and if selected, their seniority should be protected".

Government should rather take officers for IPS from open examination of Civil Services which is conducted every year by UPSC. By doing so, young officers will come and unemployment problem could be reduced to some extent. Only thing is that the UPSC would be required to lower the merit for IPS candidates.

However there are many who think that it is a wise decision because it may be difficult to find any other category more motivated and loyal to the nation. Moreover such motivated officers on whom the government has invested heavily should not be wasted out.

The GoI's policy, some surfers said, is infact to provide for reemployment of service officers in as many organisations as possible because they retire early. They should not be denied this opportunity because they are bright and only require polishing in the civil aspect.

"This step will prove to be a milestone in the history of police Administration in the country and improve the image of the police in the country", ,surfers who favour the government move feel.

Therefore retirement age of PB4 should be raised to 65. In other organizations also like in schools, universities, judicial, doctors etc, retirement age has been raised selectively. In Army it is graded.

Mani

Hazare's contention incorrect

Rajdeep Desai had asked Anna Hazare on IBN 7 that there is criticism that after his fast why he did not go to a Government hospital and instead went to Medicity, Gurgaon. Anna Hazare replied that 'jis pedh par phal hotein hain usi par log pathar marte hain'. Why should there be problem if the hospital took me voluntarily and it was done free of cost. Hazare please imagine if a rich person had occupied your bed in the hospital, he would have paid the cost and the hospital in turn would have paid revenue to the Government. Hazare your contention is not correct and that you should resist from taking free bees.

Satya Prakash

People should remain on ground

In the era of Right to Information Act-2005, Accountability, Transparency and improving accessibility & responsiveness, Singh is ensuring that the office of Minister of Law is a guarded fort, wherein no body should enter without his permission. Feudalism is no longer entertained in this country. If you do so, then you are inviting a good ground for growth of naxalism and terrorism. People should not think that they have become God just because they have been attached to a Minister.

Law is there to take action

The law is there to decide for her actions. Why should Mayawati be like Mamata, why should she emulate anybody, she's an individual in her own right. And what's so great about upper castes supporting Mayawati, even upper castes win through dalit votes all over the country. But the dalits surely resent the way casteist media pokes fun at her. Why, she's a CM , isn't she capable of buying jewellery. Only she has done a lot for dalits in UP. The Bahujan Samaj, Dalits and OBC's are the indigenous people of this country and they are ones who have built this country. In India caste is everything or else why should a dalit Raja and a OBC Kanimozhi be in jail in 2G scam, are we so naive enough to believe that they alone could have done it, let all be punished irrespective of caste, region, religion. There will be an awakening among OBC's and dalits at such instances of injustice. Awakening.

It's wrong to belittle a college or University

I stood first class first in the year 1956 in MSc (Zoology) in Allahabad University with 80% marks. The person who stood second who was two years senior to me in service got 20% less marks to be. I became a lecturer at the age of 20 & half years. My aim was to enter into academics but on the force of my family I gave very casually the Civil Services Examination and got selected in various Group 'A' Services including IPS but opted for IRTS. I got 166 marks out of 200 in my subject Zoology and on the day of Botany paper by mistake I had reached classes to teach, from where I had to run. I was holding the post of Executive Director/Ad visor Traffic during the last days of my career. Cabinet Secretaries right from Dr. B.G. Deshmukh to S. Rajagopal called me by my first name. I had one marron-cum-pink blazer, which I use to wear and attended meetings. In one of the meetings S Rajagopal after looking at my blazer said 'St. Stephens'. I said no 'an equally good institutions of those times i.e. Allahabad University'. To belittle a college or University is totally wrong. When I was working one of the CMD's had remarked 'saheb bada maja ata hai jab aap in IAS walon ki dhajiyan udate ho with your depth of knowledge'. S.B. Mahapatra-Secretary(MOS&PI) had said in one of the meetings that look at this person he not only knows thoroughly about his own subject of Railways but also about Steel, Cement, Coal, Salt and Coal.

At this ripe age of 76 years, I invite Mani Shankar (a Stephenian) to have an open knowledge competition with me covering all the areas like Western & Indian Mythology, Films (Bollywood and Hollywood), Sports, Literature, History, Geography Science and latest developments. I have blood pressure, sugar and travel by Bus & Metro in the city of Delhi. He had no business to insult 'Hansraj College'.

Orders of specific type by the Supreme Court

The Appellant sought information regarding all the cases of section 17 B of the Industrial Disputes Act passed by the Supreme Court of India. The CPIO informed him that it was beyond the scope of his duties to provide any interpretation of the judgments passed by the Supreme Court. The Respondents submitted before the CIC that such information was not maintained in the form in which it was being sought and that the CPIO would have to undertake research through hundreds of orders. In view of the availability of the Supreme Court orders in computerized form since 1998, the CIC directed to make an effort to generate this data from the computer database. In case no such data can be generated, the appellant may be informed accordingly.

Comments
In some cases, the CIC has directed the PIO to provide information after compilation of data, if it does not require too much effort. Computerisation of data is making the supply of data in specific formats effortless and user friendly.
