Political 'Circket' with Girgit...

What did Bhagwat say???
Pseudos kyon karr rahe hai flay??

He said..hope for a Ram Temple in my lifetime!!
When it comes to him even wishing is a crime!

Wishing does not mean let it start now!
Pseudos uselessly creating a row!!

Tolerance is not a one way lane!
It's about feeling the others pain!

It's Bhagwan Ram's birthplace!
In fact Muslims could have shown grace!

Offered help to build a Temple there!
Not caring for the Zealots stare!!

It's the sanctity of the place!
Which should be the reason to show grace!

CJI has said no intolerance is there!
I'm sure for Pseudos this would be difficult to bear!

Kejri bollne ke pehle kindly think!
Blabbering if between speaking and thinking no link!

The odd and even number idea has flopped!
Where it's been applied it has been stopped!

Seems the Beijing experiment caught Kejri's eye!
It worked in Beijing for Olympics... why?

The same way as the One Baby law did work!
To obey no one dare shirk!

Why.... its China where flouters get the stick!
And law there does not choose and pick!

Only Politburo is exempted there!
Politburo carry warning. .Handle with extreme care!

Some say Taxi Lobby is behind this brainwave!
Now such taunts Kejri will have to brave!

When it comes to BJP he does the same!
Starts statements with BJP 'shame shame'!

Big move on Indo Pak front!
Of course Congress will say for next SAARC a stunt!

Caught Media unaware!
For a section of Media very difficult to bear!

UPA Government used to take their tacit yes!
Such moves this Section of Media had to bless!

This Government has treated Pak like a biggda bachchaa!
After giving a spanking now calling them for charchaa!

Pak now technically has been pinned down!
And now at Pakistan even it's old friend doth frown!

Retired IAS officers as Inquiry officers

As the reports go, government of India has been contemplating to appoint retired IAS officers as inquiry officers to conduct departmental inquiries against the central government employees, facing disciplinary proceedings under the civil services rules. Many states have been appointing retired civil and judicial officers for this purpose since long. The step is right in perception of sparing the in-service officers for more important works or saving them from the misery of inviting personal enmity ,if a delinquent employee is ruled guilty. The system has also the advantage of appearing to be fair as the Inquiry officer from the department may be prejudiced for various reasons,which may not be exclusively official.
However, some states, which have been appointing retired officers as inquiry officers have not been providing the requisite supporting staff, offices, logistics, conveyance etc. As a result the Inquiry officers have to depend upon the mercy of the department whose employee is being probed, thus causing the suspicion of being not acting independently. The inquiry officers are given only fixed amount for each inquiry as remuneration. This amount remains unpaid for months and even years, thus adding to the embarrassment and travails of the retired officers. If the government really wants to effectively deal with the allegedly delinquent employees, it will have to provide adequate staff, good offices, all logistics and all facilities as are admissible to the serving government officers of the retired officer's status. Otherwise, the retired dignified officers should not fall into the trap of the government to heap slights and miseries on them this way,and the bargain will be highly troublesome for them.

Set up a watchdog

Agreed the step of the Delhi Government is correct in restricting movement of private vehicles in order to curb pollution but one thing should not be overlooked i.e. misuse of vehicles in the city of Delhi by Ministers, Bureaucrats, Senior Corporate Executives and the family members at the cost of exchequer/companies account. The Government should set up a watchdog to ensure that this malady in the city of Delhi is brought to an end. The Government vehicles and hired cars at Government/Companies cost should not be visible at Schools, Colleges, Bus Stations, Metro Stations and Shopping Mals. The Defence personal on one hand want OROP but on the other hand blatantly misuse vehicles at Government cost for their personal work.

One UPSC exam is not enough !

One UPSC exam should not decide that a category of employees are the most superior, intelligent and competent for all times to come. A number of people have failed in the Assistant Grade examination (having Maths as one paper) but have become Group Á Civil Servants merely by cramming. All type of tax payers, especially the professionals, have the right to participate in the functioning of the Government in the country.
