POLITICS

This is History (122)

People cared little for the king's power and autocracy as long as they were not interfered with in their local matters.


Who doesn't know Kamal Nath in Indian business community ?


There is one politician in the country who is well known in the corporate world across the country. He is Kamal Nath, now a senior Lok Sabha Member. In fact Kamal Nath during his 40 years of political career, right from Sanjay Gandhi days to Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh era has helped top business houses flourish. Is there any such leader in any political party other than the Congress ?

Conflict of Interest

Remember Srinivasan? He was the chairman of BCCI, and in that very capacity he owned an IPL team -Chennai Super Kings. When the IPL scam came to light, the matter went to Supreme Court. Finally the Court declared that being the Chairman of BCCI, the parent body of IPL, as well as owner of a team in the IPL amounts to 'Conflict of Interest.
The 7th Pay Commission has a Retired Judge of the Supreme Court as Chairman and two members, one of which is an IAS officer. The Commission has given its recommendations on pay and allowances, and many other matters relating to all categories of Central Government servants, including the IAS. Any recommendation that goes against the interest this Service is, in all probabilities, likely to be vehemently opposed by this member. This has been amply proved by the dissenting note by this member on one of the major issues Not only this, but during the deliberations of the Commission, it is most likely that the bias will be in favor of the IAS and, by default, against other Services, particularly the other All India Services .
Do we not find, now, that the case has similar connotations as the Srinivasan case. And does this not amount to 'Conflict Of Interest' ?

Incorrect info


The information given is not correct. The sanctioned posts are available and all are posted on technical posts after repatriation who have not opted to get absorbed in BSNL/MTNL.

Brahmaiah

Establishment scam


This is nothing but an establishment scam. There are 463 posts for ITS in DoT. But at present 853 officers are getting salary without any work. On the other hand BSNL/MTNL which is operational wing of erstwhile DoT is shortage of Technical officer (ITS). It is clear cut wastage of national resources.

K N Jha

Sanctioned post

These officers cannot be said to be working without sanctioned post. These were on BSNL/ MTNL on deputation since formation of PSU from DOT. They have returned back to their parent department as per extant rulings only.

Salil

No pay revision needed

In the current financial condition of India, when all the manufacturing sectors are collapsing, and there is no growth in GDP, Agri-sector is simply vanishing, the 7th pay commission for the corrupt, irresponsible Government staff is unwanted. There should be no pay revision for government staff for next 20 years till they start working and contribute towards nation building. Currently they are all a waste and like parasites in a poor man's contribution.

Ramachandran

Govt docs vs pvt. Docs

It is a fact doctors of the Government hospitals are much more competent than private ones. It is people who are feudalistic and do not want to wait in the queue that make such statements that the CGHS should be abolished. Some criticize CGHS because the CMOs of dispensaries do not refer them to recognized private hospitals without the condition of showing to a medical specialist. Some want that CGHS doctors should provide them medicine based on the recommendation of private doctor.

DATE WITH RTI

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.
