JNU... Just Not a University ..
There is this Tea and Snacks shop a stone's throw from JNU...its frequented
by many JNU students. I happen to be in the area so I stop over for
a Tea and Samosa ....
Me: Ek Chai aur ek samosa ...
Owner: Anything else ...
M: Wah...itni achchi angrezi..
O: Sir ji graduate hoo...Pitaji doosri dookan pe hothe hai aur mein
iss pe...family business ..
M: What was the pangaa that took place in JNU...
O: <looks around and when he sees no one is in earshot whispers>
Sabh Shikshako ka karra dharra.... jabh Kisan hee amli (drug addict)
hoe toh khet koun see ugaaye ga ...
M: Shocking...
O: ( turns the volume of the FM radio to high) You think the Principal
and Teachers did not know what is going on ????? Unless there is a total
purge of teachers here JNU can never change.. the Principal just did
a drama by cancelling permission 15 minutes before event ..
M: What about students...
O: Saab ji JNU mein there are students who are middle aged ...these
students have made being a student into a profession. .. they are the
ones who vitiate JNU. .. they are mostly Communists ... JNU is the gadd
of Communism..
M: Middle aged students ....
O: Jee ha .... I used to work at this shop under my Dad years back when
I was doing my graduation... I used to see many of these middle aged
students ...then young ... and today I am a father of 2 and they are
still students ..
M: So they must be influencing students to indulge in politicking on
the campus...
O: Students with poor backgrounds are their first targets ... the rich
and middle class types they entice via Cultural programmes etc....if
they want JNU to be a place of learning ...then stop giving subsidy
to these ' middle aged professional students' ...11/- day for a room....20/-
for unlimited Thali. .. Tution fee 200/- + ...per student the subsidy
per year works out to 3 lacs...
M: Today in newspapers there is a photo of the parents of the student
who was arrested ..poor and sick..
O: More the reason he should have stayed away from politics and studied
and got a job....these people do not attend classes ...either in Communist
Party Office or indulging in politics on the campus ...or protesting
somewhere ...
M: But that day did you come to know that at night there is going to
be trouble on the Campus..
O: We knew the day the posters came up ....and on that day there were
many students with covered faces.. who were they no one knows... I closed
my shop early and went home ...
M: Now entire Opposition has ganged up against Government and are siding
with these so said students ..despite knowing that the protests were
purely seditious. .
O: Saab ji ... dekh lehna... sachche ka hoega boll baala ..jhoote la
mooh kaala...
M: I admire Modi's way of handling his detractors... he let's issues
play out and let's facts prove his detractors wrong ..... sometimes
horrendously wrong...

It is not like Railway Board, CBDT and CBEC where all members are posted
from respective services. One board of GoI is not having any member
from related service. Prasar Bharti( PB) is the board where all members
are either IAS, IRS or from other field. Even Chairman, PB is also posted
from open market. Officers of three cadres - IIS, IBPS & IBES are
working in AIR and Doordarshan, which comes under PB but officers of
these cadres never got the chance to be a member of PB. Experts opined
that this is biggest reason for PBS failure because officers of professional
services are being kept out of policy making board.

Condemn call for war against India
Let Mehrotra Sir draft a resolution condemning the call for a war against
India requesting all political parties to endorse it to see which black
sheep is derailing the country for easy votes. Rajnath Singh will have
to demonstrate will to take stern action.
Prof (Dr ) I R Aggrawal
The government residential areas which are under the CPWD have lately
become den of criminal activities, unauthorised parking, unauthorised
vendors, and much more. Such activities have become routine. Several
government accommodations are sublet due to which needy government servants
are not getting accommodations. There is absolutely no verification
of tenants as they are unauthorised occupants. CPWD/Directorate of Estates
is in complete know-how of the system, but they are not taking any action.
Such pathetic condition is going on everywhere be it Lodhi Road area,
especially Lodhi Complex, Sarojini Nagar, MB Road, Sadiq Nagar or any
other government residential area. During NDA-1 regime, we had seen
Mr. Jagmohan visiting all the areas on routine basis when he was the
Minister. After that there is no difference between UPA and NDA.II.
Absolutely no difference so far as corruption and malpractices are concerned.
Local netas seem to be hand-in-glove with these goondas/criminals which
has created such a situation. The law abiding government servants and
their families are living a threatened life in these areas. Hope the
Government of the day wakes up. The early the better.

Review functioning of JNU
It is a well known fact that JNU is a bastion of leftist in the country.
It is a pampered university with huge Govt. funds .Large number of non
students stay in the hostel and enjoy the subsidised facilities. It
is time to review the functioning of JNU.
S Gopal
Take action against students and JNU administration
I totally agree with the views expressed by Ms Arti Khosla on 12 Feb
2016. While the anchor gave a good bashing to the three students, their
presence on the panel gave more publicity to the issue which the students
could not have generated otherwise. The channel was used by these students
to publicise their views and they succeeded. It's also shameful on the
JNU administration to have allowed such an event. On similar lines,
same slogans were chanted in Press Club of India too. I think this was
pre-planned and has support from outside India.
On another news channel, during the discussion, the anchor got so agitated
that no one had even filed a FIR against these students. A member of
parliament immediately rushed and filed a sedition case in the police
station. I wonder if any action will be taken against these students
and the JNU administration.
Dr Pratima Deshpande
Privatise JNU !
JNU right from its inception, has been having students of the leftist
attitude. The expenditure on JNU have always been met out of the budgets
presented by the Rightist Governments. The leftist students do not read,
create ruckus and also capture the hostels. It is high time to privatise
JNU.
BBS
JNU' happening shameful
Raising incendiary slogans against India, supporting Kashmiri azaadi
, eulogising terrorist Afzal Guru as a martyr, by groups of left wing
students of JNU is reprehensible. We normally hear such provocative
slogans as part of post-Friday-prayers ritual in Srinagar. Never, in
Delhi. JNU is not a "disputed" territory. It never had a history
of raising slogans like: "Kashmir ki Azaadi tak jung rahegi, jung
rahegi". Undoubtedly, the right to " Freedom of Speech",was
misused and abused. The ubiquitous posters pasted across JNU campus
inviting others to join the protest march against the "judicial
killing of Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhatt". It is a fashion in JNU
campus to inflame passions by making provocative slogans to incite fellow
students. One hopes, invoking Section 124-A of IPC (sedition) in FIR
by Delhi Police stands the scrutiny in court of law. Attempts will be
made ( with covert support of some political parties ) to get the FIR
quashed. Be that as it may, India cannot remain a mute bystander. All
this seems part of a larger conspiracy hatched by enemies within, with
secret support of the ISI and its moles. The crisis may escalate. The
sensitive spots must remain under IB's scanner leaving no room for complacency.
The Media ( both Print and TV) must act responsibly and refrain from
giving undue publicity to those responsible for the mess.

DATE WITH RTI

Seeking copy of Caste Certificate of an officer
Appellant sought a copy of Schedule Tribe (ST) certificate of
a particular officer under the RTI Act, on the basis of an assumption
that it might be fake. The PIO replied that SC certificate was
not enclosed to the service book of the officer. The Central Information
Commission (CIC) asked the appellant whether the appellant is
having any basis to his suspicion about the ST certificate and
about his interest in seeking these details, but the appellant
could not convince the CIC. The CIC observed that the appellant
had been heard earlier by it in several appeals. The CIC commented
that the appellant is a cantankerous misuser of RTI and does not
deserve any sympathy or information, as there is no public interest.
The appellant is wrecking vengeance against the authority and
officers for taking stern action against his misconduct. The CIC
admonished him for misuse of RTI. The CIC ruled that the Public
Authority can reject his RTI applications about inquiry and inquiry
officers as that would impede the entire process of inquiry.
Comments
There is no specific provision in the RTI Act regarding rejection
of an application for alleged misuse of the RTI Act. However,
the CIC has repeatedly come to the aid of the PIOs in cases of
harassment by repeated filing of applications.
