Chat with Rahul (Imaginary)
Met Rahul at Lodhi Garden ....... some time after he walked out
of LS.
Rahul: (Seeing me)... Oye I'm now the angry young man of India ..so
buster be careful!
Me: Manufactured anger .. and you are not a young man any more ....you
are a middle aged man! Why did you walk out ....BJP is saying this is
sheer intolerance on the part of Congress!
R: Ha ...what is new in what Rajnath ji said in LS....why is Modi ji
not there to answer me....
M: Issues relating to MOH and so Rajnath ji is answering for Government....but
then what's new in your intolerance diatribe .... you are repeating
barbs that you manufactured and BJP has conclusively answered..
R: Like .... now I'm getting angry. ..be careful ...
M: Like Dadri has been answered ... what has BJP got to do with it ...
it took place in UP ... the BJP loose cannons who commented post the
incident have been ticked off and reigned in...the Haryana burnings
seems to be a family dispute ... being investigated.....
R: VK Singh equated Dalits with dogs ..
M: No he did not ..you manufactured a version ...the analogy he used
was to illustrate ...for every issue Centre cannot be held responsible.....
if I tell someone every dog has his day am I calling him a dog???? And
very soon the truth about both these incidents will be out ... I think
you will have to apologise for jumping the gun and shooting your gob...
now don't say I said you have a oral gun with which you shoot ...
R: We are the saviours of the oppressed and downtrodden. ...
M: Chal Chal leave this glib talk for some other place .... BSP which
is considered to be a Dalit Party has kept a distance from this Haryana
burning issue ...why conclude before the investigation is done ... for
2 G etc., didn't you guys keep demanding don't jump to conclusions ..let
law take it's course .....even today this is your Party's very stand
...
R: Tell me would Babasahib Ambedkar have asked people who did not
agree with him to leave the Country ..
M: Can Babasahib be blamed for the language used sometimes by some Dalit
Leaders ....like Maya used to say .... Tilak Taraazu aur Talwaar inn
ko maaro joothe chaar ... BJP as a Party has not demanded people shift
out ... so why are you blaming Modi??
R: Why are Nehru and Indhra ji not being credited for what they
have done for India's progress!!
M: Every important place has been named after some member of your Family
... most schemes have been named after some Member of your Family ....
why did you guys not honour other Leaders who did so much for India
... and has BJP changed the names after they took over ...you've grabbed
so much credit ..why not let others get much deserved Kudos!
R: Why is Modi ji not removing VK Singh from the Cabinet ...
M: Arre I just explained VK Singh said nothing that's objectionable
...lagthaa hai aap ke record ki needle is stuck... like it was on...
15 lacs and suited booted ... gone are the days when Ministers in the
Cabinet were 'on your pleasure' ..now on PM's pleasure ... so take a
hike ...
R: I with my Youth Brigade will take to the streets ..... this is
a new aggressive Rahul you are seeing ...
M: I think I would apply Newton's law here... every action has a equal
and opposite reaction .. as Modi becomes more and more a Statesman you
are becoming more and more like .... Kejriwal .... there is only one
view ...its his ...and if you do not agree then ..you are anti Indian
and Indians.... I see it as manufactured anarchy....

All services should have Collegium system
Going by the state of affairs, I would suggest that all elite and support
staff services should have Collegium system for induction of the staff
as UPSC or many other authorities of government take no steps to recruit
persons for important assignments like this one. Many Commissions/ Authorities/
Tribunals are facing this problem as they either have no Chairman/Members
or the support staff to man their offices. Even in most of these offices,
no recruitment rules are existing(including in CCI where even today
they are not finalised).Now time has come for the Government to wake
and take note of this grim situation.
S K Sharma
PM should personally see things
The views expressed about PM losing balance are correct. It is because
the Secretaries and CEO's and Directors of PSU's and Railways etc are
from Bimaru states. It is time, PM should personally see the things.

Disclosure of the name of the whistle blower under PIDPI
The appellant filed a complaint related to malpractices in purchase
of medical material like Fumy floor solution, Multipurpose cleaning
solution etc. to the CVC. He stated that after the receipt of
the complaint, the CVC had sent a letter to him seeking the identity.
The envelope containing that letter was superscribed as "Public
Interest Disclosure & Protection of Informer Resolution (PIDPI)".
In spite of this, the envelope was opened by the then Medical
Superintendent because of which his identity and name was unnecessarily
revealed. He sought to know whether the confidential letters in
favour of any doctor/employee can be opened by the medical superintendent
of the hospital and related information. The CIC issued a show
cause to the PIO to show-cause why penalty should not be imposed
on him for not furnishing the information within the prescribed
period and why compensation should not be awarded to the appellant.
Comments
The PIDPI requires the Competent Authority to conceal the identity
of the complainant and the documents or information furnished
by him, for the purposes of enquiry under this Act. Hence, the
officers and staff should be careful about which envelopes to
be opened and by whom.
