Demonitization by PM and Whispers

The idea of banning high denomination notes was published by WIC on Feb 22, 2010 and again in March 2010.

http://www.whispersinthecorridors.com/news.html


The two news items in the above context were written by N Natarajan and was published with a question of Political Will ! Now action by the Prime Minister has shown that such political will still prevails in this country.


POLITICS

This is History (452)
Very vices of individuals became the virtues of nations.

No Congress without Gandhi family !
It is now certain that there can be no Congress without Gandhi family. By and large people have also reached to this conclusion.

Entire business community angry with Modi

"Demonetisation - a boon for Banking Industry"

Known for having showed her acumen in various segment in the banking industry, Mrs. Trishna Guha, who is presently Executive Director in Dena Bank, is of the view that demonetization - brought in by the Modi government recently - would be largely beneficial for banking industry.
In an informal chat with the Whispers In The Corridors (Editor- Sanjay Sharma & Vice President - Abul Hassan) during her recent visit to Bhopal, Mrs. Guha said that with huge increase in deposits following demonetization, banks will now not be compelled to borrow money because of rise in low cost deposits.

Samjhne waale samajh gaye

The Baba says if I speak in the House there will be a Quake!!!
As he says this Congis standing around him start to shake!!
They are scared because every time his foot lands in his mouth!!
And Congress's credibility goes south!
Like he said PayTM means Pay to Modi!!!!
Hearing the response on SM* Sonia pucca roh-di!!
PayTM means Pay To Madam is how SM banged him!!
And if you think he'll learn a lesson well chances are very slim!!!
The Baba needs prompting even to speak to the Press!!
His being Chaperoned Sonia does always stress!
Contents of his Quake making speech we know!
We know the tune even before into the Trumpet he doth blow!!
First who stopped him from speaking in the House!!
Ek dumm faltu grouse!
He will say BJP Leaders knew about this step Modi was going to take!!
And all this talk about secrecy is fake!!!
Then he will say Modi changes the Goal Post every day!!
First it was Black Money then Counterfeiting and then Digitization came into play!!
Then he will say none of the goals achieved!!!
All Notes will be deposited if rumors are to be believed!!
So what has Government achieved while inflicting such pain!!!
None of the malaises have been slain!
Well secrecy was kept and that is why Congress did not get to know!!
Otherwise info to Congress pucca karti flow!!
If the decision making was not kept airtight!!
Even before the announcement Demonetization would have lost the fight!!
Black Money and Counterfeiting were the aim!!
And Black Money Digitization does tame!!!
Notes coming back do not become White!!!!
To prove 'whiteness' from IT many Depositors will get an invite!!
Government has said there will be pain!!!
And to reduce pain the Rules have been changed again and again!!!
Bottom line is if there was preparedness more than what was done!!!
The Black Moneybags would have won!!!!
Secrecy would have been compromised!!!!
And Demonetization would have for all purposes been paralyzed!!
This secrecy is The Baba and his Party's biggest complaint!!!!
No one was given a chance to repaint (Black to White)????
If secrecy was not paramount!!
To zilch the Demonitisation would surmount!!
Demonetization would flop and Congress would have made fun!!
Assal mein Secrecy ne Congress ko kiya stun!!
Confucius says .... everyday Congress's credibility hits a new low!!
And seems to fall lower and lower Congress is in full flow!!

"Indo-Pak ties are frosted"
Hell-bent on escalating tension, Pakistan army is continuing with ceaseless cease-fire violations while brazenly brutalizing Indian brave hearts. There are enemies within, too. Farooq Abdullah, an ace opportunist, pledging support to the Hurriyat for Kashmir's "Azaadi", is a disturbing trend. Why can't he be charged with sedition ? He was a Minister in UPA era and called himself a nationalist. When not in power, his nuisance value multiplies manifold. Itihaas gavaah hai. Opposition's conduct inside Parliament and outside has been quite reprehensible. It merely helps Pakistan. Worse still, India's cottage industry of "peaceniks " is another trouble-maker. After each terror attack, the peaceniks' lobby becomes suddenly active in suggesting engagement with the belligerent neighbour without realizing that the civilian govt there is powerless. Pak's army is wise enough to realize that remote-controlling Pak's civil government is far better than being a part of it. What is the solution then ?
Let us be upfront . Using hackneyed phrase of " Mooh-tor- Jawaab ",won't work in the given situation . We have to be offensively defensive, pro-active instead of being re-active. There is a felt need for a paradigm shift in India's approach like (a) Aggressive foreign policy ;(b)A long-term military strategy ; (c) End of candy floss diplomacy ; (d) Using unrests in Baluchistan, Sindh, POK and Gilgit-Baltistan to India's advantage .PM Modi had promised support to Baluchistan freedom movement. Why have these issues been back-burnered? ;(e)Tactical initiatives in form of surgical strikes must continue.
PM Modi's demonetization initiative has immobilized the Hurriyat in supporting stone pelters and terrorists to a large extent.

DATE WITH RTI

Grievance of a railway pass holder

A retired Master Craftsman claimed that despite being eligible for first class pass, the Railways had not been honouring several clauses related to the journey performed by a pass holder. He sought Information regarding rules relating to privilege passes issued to railway employees. The Commission observed that under the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005, only such information as is available and existing and held by the public authority or is under control of the public authority can be provided. The PIO is not supposed to create information that is not a part of the record. He is also not required to interpret information or furnish replies to hypothetical questions. Similarly, redressal of grievance, reasons for non-compliance of rules /contesting the actions of the respondent public authority are outside the purview of the Act. Further, the CIC observed that the appeal relates to the grievance of the retired employee regarding utilization of railway passes and lack of awareness and sensitization of the work force dealing with such matters. This aspect needs to be re-examined by the competent authority to provide relief and succour to the affected retired employees in an objective and transparent manner.

Comments

Even though the redressal of grievance is outside the purview of the RTI Act, it has been frequently used to obtain some relief. The Information Commission has been sympathetic to injustice metered through a system which is not objective or opaque.
