Why Arvind Kejriwal is crying ?

There was case of a Constable who used to take a bribe and note it down in his small diary. Once he was given the job of ferrying a thief in a Bus from the Jail to the Court. On the way the Thief picpocketted his diary. Subsequently, a case of corruption developed against the Constable and the diary of the Constable, in which he used to note down the bribes he used to take was used as evidence. In the Supreme Court the Advocate of Constable stated that there could not be a case as the Thief had done an illegal act of pickpocketing. Supreme Court said, so what even if an evidence has been collected illegally or immorally, it is an evidence and if valid the case stands proved. Why Arvind Kejriwal is crying ?

A Srivastava

Inclusion of IRMS service officers in Jt Secretary empanelment

It is noticed that apart from IAS and IPS, officers of many other Group A Service officers belonging to Organised services like IRTS, IRPS, IRSE, IRSS. IRS, IOFS etc are being empanelled for certain higher posts as Joint Secretary. A glaring omission are certain services like IRMS, CGHS, IOFMS etc. There are any number of competent and very efficient officers in these Services and due representation of these Medical services which also are classified as Group A Organised Services ( and who are selected directly through UPSC) in the empanelment process must be considered by the Government. It maybe pointed out that many Doctors are already serving in IAS, IPS, IFS etc. with distinction. The time is now opportune for the empanelment of officers of all Central Government Medical Services.
