DEBATE
What is the character of Narendra Modi
?
With Prime Minister Narendra Modi becoming the third most followed
world leader on Twitter, next only to US President Barack Obama and
the Pope, he is being discussed everywhere so much so that people have
started comparing him with world leaders of the past. "Is Modi
Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Roosevelt or Churchill" ?

What is the character of Narendra Modi ? (DEBATE 1)
Narendra Modi should not be compared with anyone. I don't know whether
any political leader who reached top has seen real poverty as NAMO did.
We must have patience to give him time to work. Let's not expect magic
from him.

What is the character of Narendra Modi ? (DEBATE 2)
Wants to add his name in Indian & world history. Personally honest
but to achieve his goal takes support of dishonest also. Normally do
not gives good position in govt to dishonest. Example-no ministers from
Rajasthan.

Foreign Hand:Indira Gandhi:Uncle Sam: Natwar Singh
Natwar Singh's book has been subjected to political criticism and inane
issues like Rahul prevailing on Sonia not to accept PM office even as
his exact words on camera were "I don't want to lose my mother".
The significant issue relates to the diktats of America not to appoint
Natwar Singh as the External Affairs Minister. Indira Gandhi raised
the issue of foreign hand and it was in political fashion to talk on
the subject. That interference of this kind continued till 2004 and
during the 10 years of UPA is a matter that should have been debated
by well informed people. Natwar Singh is a career diplomat with high
reputation and integrity and must be taken seriously (the drum beating
toughies in Delhi not mattering at all). One can understand the interest
of foreign governments to control and regulate, install and remove regimes
at will to serve their interests, managing political parties and elections
similarly, but one fails to digest the enigmatic silence of the GoI
on such subjects of national interest and sovereignty. There is another
significant development that has escaped notice of our brilliant investigative
journalists- it is the effective use of the leftists by Uncle Sam all
these years.

Non supply of the copy of the inquiry report
The appellant wanted to know the status of inquiry initiated against
him and sought copies of the feedbacks collected by the Inquiry
officer from the students, etc. claiming that such forms could
be his defending evidence. On first appeal, the First Appellate
Authority (FAA) directed to provide a copy of the inquiry report
as and when received from the concerned. The CIC noted that the
appellant was to be intimated about the conclusion of the inquiry
and dropping of charges against him and by the time the FAA advised
to provide a copy of the Inquiry Report, the inquiry was completed
and the charges against the appellant were dropped. As this fact
was not put up before the FAA, the CIC held that it amounts to
suppression of vital information and noncompliance of FAA orders.
The CIC observed that it is a very pathetic nonresponsive attitude
of the department against a teacher who is made to suffer without
any relief or information about the dropping of charges against
him and issued a cause notice to the PIO for imposing penalty.
The CIC also granted a token amount of Rs.1,000/ as compensation
to the appellant, for the loss suffered for the nonsupply of information.
Comments
The accused has a right to have a copy of the inquiry report,
whether it is favorable or not, upon completion of the inquiry.
He has this right both under the Right to Information Act, 2005
and under the principles of natural justice.
