DEBATE (1)

Arvind Kejriwal should take the mantle of the PM of India.

Vijay Kumar

Good suggestion

Very good suggestion. It is a fact that these gentlemen are working the same place for many years. If the DOPT has any kind of control of these officers, they should apply the same to these people also. Rules are meant to everybody irrespective of their place of posting.

Vijayan

Rotation Transfer Policy
Rotation Transfer Policy of DP&T should be made applicable to all officials irrespective of cadre whether the officials belongs to CSS or CSSS. There are so many CSS officials whom could not be disturbed by the respective Ministries/ Departments because of the shield provided by the Senior Officers/Ministers in the Ministries/Departments. RTP has become a joke in some cases.

V P Sharma

Rightly highlighted

Rightly highlighted, not only DoPT is helpless, there are clear guidelines from CVC for rotational transfer, but all the officers/officials seating in these posts manages their posting. I thinks this is one of the reason that we are not able to implement the policy of the government in true sprit.

S Kumar

Pursuing visa fraud and tax evasion cases

We should congratulate the Minister for External Affairs, Salman Khurshid for pursuing the visa fraud and tax evasion cases of the American School directly managed by the American ambassador in New Delhi. Under the Vienna Convention which governs diplomatic relations between countries the American embassy has no right to run a private school contravening all Indian laws. The government should forthwith close down the school after penalising those concerned for visa fraud and tax evasion with imprisonment and hefty fines or nationalising it and converting it into a government school under the Delhi government.
