If another washout then watch out ...

Driving to Delhi .. I stop at a Petrol Pump near Murthal...I understand the Pump and the Coffee Shop near the Pump saved because it's owned by a Jat.

Inside I'm pleasantly surprised to meet a friend ...a one time Congress supporter ..nowadays politically seated on the fence.

Me: Nice meeting you ...of all the places here ...

Friend: Same here ...boy what a tension filled drive I've had ... started from Chandigarh 6 am... and it's now 5 pm...11 hours to reach here ..at Panipat got some respite ... was guided to a Gurudwara ..where I got food ..Tea and some rest ..

M: What's your take on these riots ...

F: 'Hoodaya' (slang for Who ) think is behind these riots ....its vintage ...you know which Party ... they have the technology to manage such widespread riots ..and now a sting aired confirms this ....

M: Yes ...

F: It's cost the Nation dearly ...

M: They say Congress will raise this Jat issue in Parliament ..

F: With what face... all that it'll do is sloganeering and run into the well of the House ...no legs to stand on to argue ... even on JNU issue ... when UPA was in power seditious slogans on Afzal Guru's hanging anniversary were raised....UPA looked the other way..and this gave these students the confidence to keep repeating this seditious charade ..

M: This JNU autonomy is baloney ...autonomy in education only ...not when students go against the law.... baised Media is trying to muddle up matters ...saying Government wants to shut down JNU..

F: Now they say it's a Freedom of Speech issue ... Freedom to shout seditious slogans ...bah..

M: Tomorrow they'll say if students have to be arrested ..they'd have to be extradited from JNU to Indian State ...idiots....tell me will this Session of Parliament be a washout ..

F: I think there will be brimstone and fire ....but business will be enacted ... why... because I hear Congress has feedback that now Nation is growing impatient ..

M: And what do you say about Modi's statement that some Parties out to create problems for his Government ..

F: Who implemented Beef Ban long time back.. Congress ...Who opened the Ram Mandir locks .... Congress Government ... Who started Tipu Sultan Jayanti Celebrations ....Congress.....who banned max books ..movies... Congress Government .... who arrested people for criticising Government.....Congress Government ... who put India under an Emergency ... Congress Government ...and still they beat their chests and say Modi is intolerant ...believe me they are heading for a near washout in the next Lok Sabha ....

Unfortunate !

Very unfortunate that in a democracy, merit and dedicated work goes for a six at the hands of self servicing politicians based upon prejudices.

PESB recommendations

It is a fact that Pras view are correct. In the application there is no year of passing, college name etc and they have not asked copies of age and qualifications. They have not revealed the criteria of recommendations. They have yielded to political pressures especially from Bihar. Modi should take a note of it.

Sashank

Transparency in PESB recommendations

The views expressed by pras is that PESB should be more transparent in recommendations. Our beloved PM Modiji wants transparency and digital India, so PESB should put the track/profile of candidates recommended along with scan copies of date of birth certificate, qualification certificates and experience on the web along with recommendation. it is very simple.

Is it freedom of speech ?

I am amazed, angry and confused by the way support is pouring in for those who chanted anti-India slogans at JNU. It s reported today that the faculty members of IIT Bombay have condemned the action of Government in arresting Kanhaiya. Today the academics from U.K Universities, from Oxford, Cambridge have also jumped in support of JNU. The other day hundreds of professors from Universities in USA did the same thing. Back home swarm of columnists and so- called intellectuals are crying for Kanhaiya and his fellow students like Umar Khalid and others. But no one condemns the slogans to destroy the country, to break it into different parts slogan like 'Bharat teri barbadi tak jung rahegi,jung rahegi'. Is this freedom of speech which everyone is bothered to save. Is it democracy of which all these people are swearing by?Why these people are confusing a party with the nation? Can anyone give an answer?

Reservation agitation in Haryana

The death toll has risen to 10 in an agitation, which explicitly did not have any ingredients of violence in the past, being considered as an outcry of the Haves.Traditional belief holds Patels and Jats as prosperous communities not deserving of any reservation in job quota as OBC, but the agitations in Gujrat, for Gujjar reservation in Rajasthan, and now in Haryana, have rolled out the dangers of such agitations becoming unmanageable leading to anarchy in future. This way only a few communities will be left to compete in the open category, thus, defeating the purpose of the reservation and those ultimately vying for the reserved status. The issue of reservation must be now openly debated at the national level for the people to know and weigh the pros and cons of its continuation and its scrapping.
