Political Neighbours
I have a Coffee Gang ....... neighbors on either side and front
...one is a diehard BJP supporter ...the other Congress and the third
used to be Congress ..now AAP..but still not clear which Party he supports.
Me: Welcome guys.... so the Juvenile Bill is through ...
BJP Neighbor : The delay was because of Congress ..
Cong Neighbor: Go jump in the lake ... its Government's job to get Bills
passed..
B: Yes with a reasonable Opposition that opposes on issues....not an
Opposition that opposes for selfish reasons ....
M: I know one thing..... Netas... stinking rich lot.....would be
in their ways warning their kids....
Cong/AAP neighbor: Jaitley must resign .....
B: Ha ha .... just because Kejri has made charges does not mean a verdict
has been given ..though Kejri does feel so...
C/A : The Corruption is so evident ...we will take this issue up in
the Janta Darbar ...
B: Which means you will hold protests outside Jaitley's home ..SOP of
AAP..
C: Modi by equating this matter with Advani's Hawala charge has hinted
to Jaitley..resign till proven innocent ..
C/A: Hear.... hear ...love you Bro..
M: See even Jaitley's fiercest opponents do not question his integrity....I
hear during Amritsar election.... a section of Punjab Congress known
to be reckless and boisterous in making comments ....were forewarned
..not a word about Jaitley's integrity ....and haven't you noticed one
development ...now the Rajender Kumar issue has been forgotten ...
C/A: Kejri is the touchstone of Honesty and Probity ...if he chose Rajendra
Kumar he is 100% honest ...and what's so great if Rajender has a few
lacs in his account ...
B: Let CBI investigate that ...its not a few lacs but 20 plus lacs ...he
has to provide the source/s of this money ...
C/A: Modi can wear a 10 lac suit ...can't a Bureaucrat with years of
service have money in his account ...
M: The cloth for the Suit was gifted to Modi ..all that he spent
was the stitching charges....7000..
C: BJP said Congress is very corrupt ...how many corruption cases has
BJP Government been able to file in 19 months ...
B: I think the Firewalls that protected the corrupt were removed ...automatically
after Congress lost power ...now investigation and Law will take its
course ....automatically ...
M: Actually do keep in mind Congress was in power for 60 years and
I am sure Congress has a 'huge data bank'....if you get my drift..
C: Ha ....so ...
M: Well I will comment only on Modi .......even if Congress had
data on an odd trivial personal habit they would have blasted it to
heaven high..they have exhausted data arsenal when it comes to Modi
...why ..must have even tried to shove in some skeletons into Modi's
cupboard. ..unseccessfully of course .
C: So Mr Smarty Pants you are a BJP supporter..why in the closet ...
come out....
M: Correction... Modi supporter ... I feel in these 19 months what
all Modi has done and faced he's shown.... Modi jaisa koyi nahi..

Only non issues interest Kejriwal
Kejriwal is making a heavy weather of governance. Only non issues seem
to interest him. His lack of experience in governance is equally apparent.
Further, by removing his erstwhile colleagues who were co-founders of
his party, he has ensured that there is little wise counsel left with
him.

India develops cold feet towards NRIs
There are reports that the Centre government has cancelled the Parvasi
Bharti Divas, which was slotted to be held next month. For more than
a century the Indians and Punjabis started migrating to foreign lands
in search of employment substantially and for studies in small numbers.
Presently, Punjab's migrated population in other counties is more than
the total population residing in Punjab. Annual conventions of NRIs
, and Parvasi Bharti Divas ,started more than a decade ago, served the
purpose of interaction with them to know better the problems being faced
by them or their relatives in the state and to take corrective measures
to facilitate them. NRIs have made India and the state proud by occupying
the highest positions in all spheres. Recently four Punjabi have become
Ministers in Canada's federal government. The country stands more benefited
by their presence as they were living in the countries which were doing
better than Punjab and they provided better inputs for improvements
in the country and state's governance. Luring them for investing their
hard earned money in the state, where mafias rule the roost, where there
is no safety and security of the residents and where their brethren
were dying of cancer and drugs, has been an exercise in futility ab-initio.
They know the conditions of the state and the country better than the
regime, which has erected a steel wall around it and lost touch with
the humanity. They are highly worried about the plight of their Punjab
and also reportedly invested money to see that the indifferent regime
gets a drubbing in the last Lok Sabha elections ,and have also partially
succeeded. It should not be forgotten that large number of NRIs sacrificed
their lives for the freedom of the country and were still in a position
to make sacrifices for the honour of the state and the country. Earlier
Punjab had stopped Annual convention of the NRIs about a year back and
now the Centre Government has also cancelled the Parvasi Divas ,which
was slated to be held in January 2016.Has India developed cold feet
to its vibrant, genius and proud population living in the entire world
and has also washed its hands off their numerous issues and grievances?

Disclosure of information in relation to unauthorised construction
and encroachment
Photocopy of entire case file of unauthorised construction of
building was denied by the PIO, East Delhi Municipal Corporation
on ground of being third party information. In his initial reply,
the PIO provided contradictory information about whether the property
has been sealed. The appellant stated that due to unauthorised
construction on the above mentioned property, extensive damage
was caused to his house. The respondent claimed that the sealing
and de-sealing of any property is personal in nature. The CIC
observed that disclosure of information in relation to unauthorised
construction and encroachment does not require clearance from
any third party. Looking into the circumstances of the case, the
CIC granted a compensation of Rs. 25,000/- to be paid to the appellant
u/s 19(8) (b) of the RTI Act. Further, a show cause notice was
issued to the PIO as to why penalty should not be imposed on him
u/s 20 RTI Act, 2005 for outright deliberate denial of information.
Comments
Sealing and de-sealing of any property is a part of official work.
In a number of cases, the CIC has ruled that disclosure of information
in relation to unauthorised construction of building and encroachment
cannot be said to be personal information of the third party and
as such, disclosure in such cases do not require clearance from
any third party.
