DEBATE (1) Retirement Age

If the Government is feeling that it is good for better administration, they should start with the Parliamentarians whose retirement age is unknown and salary & perks are decided by themselves. Since the babus have no choice, but to accept the Govt's decision, the political parties first take the good decision among themselves to be a young nation.

DEBATE (2) Retirement Age

Lowering retirement age issue can be referred to VIIth pay commission and that too for the new incumbents. Disturbing the existing employees may not be in order.

Audit of CAG and AG offices also required

CAG coming into prominence after the 2g scam should not itself create some of its own by claiming undeserved railway passes. As it is if an audit is done into CPAO and other offices under CAG one would notice that pension cases are being handled in a corrupt manner causing deliberate delays. We desperately need audit of CAG and AG offices all-over.

Dismantling of orderlies in police forces

It is a progressive step. But much depends on how our ingenious officers circumvent the instructions. It is much evident that in the name of security, the forces gather majority of the largesse from the government. It is no doubt they devise a new 'bahana' to circumspect the directions. After all, this menace is not only restricted to police officers but it has also been indirectly passed on to civilian bureaucrats who both act hand in glove at times of any complaints by outreaching to others rescue. So long as no concrete steps evolve with underlying laws, like sexual harassment in workplace law, with punitive actions the hard headed bureaucracy will not oblige. Lets wait and watch how the directions would be.

True Democracy

Its an example of real democracy that a UK judge has been forced to resign after he made racist remarks against an Indian origin women. Here we have an Indian woman Minister who abused in open and used unparliamentary words against political opponents, and even the PM is trying to save her with the excuse that she should be excused for being from a village background, adding insult to injury. Does it mean that all village people are abusive?
