Me: Nice day Sir .... how's your health. .

Sir: Physically fine ...mentally also fine though troubled ...to be at peace there has to be equilibrium between health... mental positivity and conscience ...my positivity running low...

M: Why Sir ...I've always known you to be very positive ..

S: Imagine in a Country there can be a debate on flying the flag in Universities ...

M: Yes astounded me too...now they are asking why 207 feet... anything to be the argumentative Indian..

S: Argumentative ... but if you object to Indian flag then you are no Indian... so you are stuck here ... you cannot drive back to Delhi ... Haryana is a tinderbox ..

M: Yes Sir ... the joke doing the rounds ...Q: Who are you ... A: Jat from Haryana ....Q: What do you have ..A: 50 Acres... Palatial Houses in Village and Chandigarh..and Pajero ... Q: What do you drink. ... A: Scotch... Q: What do you want.... A: Reservation...

S: Ha ...ha ... so true ... the North Pole pointed moustache has become a Handlebar one .... these guys keep Mooch or Moustache above everything otherwise...in actuality demanding reservation should be a come down for them...their slogan is..no if ..no but ..only Jatt..

M: Sir what's the solution. ..

S: Too late now ... after initial decade of Reservation we should have shifted to Economic Based reservation and jobs should have been taken out of the ambit of reservation. . Merit has to be the criteria ultimately ...

M: Because of Reservation all our talent is going overseas ..

S: Connections. .. Capitation and Castes driving merit out .... tell me why do they allow politics on campuses ..ultimately it's the students who go to study who suffer...JNU was made for Education and not for dissent ... what's this crap that JNU has been known for its dissent ..for it discussions ... no problem if classes go empty .... they charge Tution or discussion fee...

M: And Sir now a section of Media trying to make the perpetrators look like Heroes ....in fact if you view these Channels you would start feeling these guys are Heroes and it's the Government and Cops who are the villains. .but I trust Modi to slowly but surely tackle these louts ...

S: They loose credibility everyday...

M: Sir Modi's proving to be the best PM India's had..

S: Be sure not to discuss your hero's state of mind ...make it clear from his actions... and when it comes to Modi actions galore ...

M: True Sir ....
S: I have one grouse ... wish I was in service now ... working under a PM like Modi ..and not a PM who knew nothing ...behaved he was Mr Know All but depended on 3 Friends to run the show...or a PM who knew and understood everything but did not have a say...

Observe NDA govt.'s work of last two years
If you today, observe this NDA Govt.'s work of last two years in tandem with Opposition parties in same time frame, it is clearly evident from facts that there are forces behind their intention of action & reaction to remain in power and de-establish/de-throne incumbent govt. respectively.
In between, there is a person in name of Prime Minister trying hard to reach-out people with innovative & decisive policies for betterment in every sphere of activities.
There is a conclusive pattern of this govt. to exercise & implement policies for people and in parallel to this a conclusive pattern evident from actions of opposition parties, you can easily make-out, see & observe NDA Govt.'s actions but if you have to make-out, see & observe the opposition, it is difficult to understand the level of reactions to create unrest & confusion in people's mind because of following reasons:
There is now no issues to allege this NDA Govt. on the part of corruption.
Opposition raised Land Acquisition/Farmers Issues- NDA Govt. dealt in consonants.
Opposition raised many manufactured corruption charges against some NDA Ministers, CM etc. without radical evidences.
Opposition has not found any issue related to Economy etc. to raise successfully.
Opposition has used Constitutional Bodies like Parliament excessively which has resulted in bad test & wrong message went to the people. Opposition as disruptive/negative nature in light of Legislation & governance.
Reasons can be many more, but not radical one, only manufactured issues, so one can easily observe that opposition has no substantial issues to minnow this NDA Govt. There is a paradigm shift in their protest & raise issues which are disintegrating in nature with help of biggest dis-satisfied section operating with Black money and Interest groups who were & still want to exploit Indian resources. It is very serious play where manufactured issues & circumstances are being created to unrest the mass to become aggressive towards establishments. Every action of opposition systematically indicate that they want to take advantage of our plural society as this was exploited in past by the Rulers to disintegrate & raise the dis-satisfaction level in people so that they lose out their thought process & state of confused mind, one can easily utilize them as a vote bank in elections which is the ultimate goal to come in power.
It is going to be a big challenge for Prime Minister of NDA Govt. to counter them without losing ground of power.
There is good shine of defeat with little achievement of opposition when a "MAHAGADBANDHAN" election fight resulted them to come in power in Bihar but, unfortunately incumbent govt. in Bihar lost its face in every sphere within no time and message reached to the mass that "How rustic, corrupt & criminal govt. it is. It is blessing in disguise for NDA Govt. So is the situation in upcoming Election States like U.P., Assam, and Bengal. Therefore, if NDA tactfully attempt in upcoming election, a win is possible.
But the biggest fear is that as a citizen of this vast great nation, if Black money hoarder & Anti-national will pump more & more money to destabilize this NDA Govt. than action & reaction of Govt. & Opposition will led more suffering for the people. So, we must pray to almighty to brave out this situation and create welfare society & Nation from every respect. Jai Hind.
A Sach.

Subletting of government accommodation.

In this regard I had recently written that these government colonies have become den of criminal activities. Nothing is being done in this regard. Earlier Government was hand-in-glove. Present government also seems to be working like that only. Pity the honest Government servants

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.
