DEBATE (1) Is Modi made for country only ?
He is the god sent opportunity for India and the only Prime Minister
whose none of the relative has ever been seen in the Prime Ministers
House.
DEBATE (2)
Modi has spread around him a lot of things and now he is finding it
difficult to consolidate them. The biggest wrong which he is committing
is his clothings. This may be because during his childhood he would
have developed some liking of wearing good clothes but would have been
deprived. Further he may be having some dream of travelling all over
the world, which he is doing now.

Preparedness to counter terror
More than 15 years of terrorism in Punjab were attributed to the enemy
powers in the neighbourhood along with other reasons. The reports of
smuggling and cross border drugs trade has also entrenched itself in
the state to make it a soft target for infiltration for terrorist activities
too. The sudden entry of the terrorists reportedly from Pakistan five
months back at Dina Nagar and the causalities and encounter it entailed
should have been sufficient for the Punjab state and the Central government
to gear up its intelligent agencies and forces to meet such challenges
in future. The attack on Airbase in Pathankot by the foreign terrorists
a few days back has exposed the indifferent and casual approach of the
authorities to meet such challenges, which have the elements of surprises
and suddenness. This is now obvious that the terrorists have detected
chinks in the Punjab border or might have found convenient friends in
the form of politician-police-smuggler nexus and fragile law and order.
The enemy may try again. The attack at Dina Nagar should also have been
thoroughly probed by the NIA then. But it was reportedly not done. The
NIA is now expected to find out the truth and also keep the public apprised
about the outcome of the probe, so that it is ready to face, or forestall
odds. It should also probe Dina Nagar episode.We can find out the foreign
culprits soon after the attack,but we should also find out the enemies
living in the country with the same speed, if not faster.

No promotions even after 2.5 years of cadre review .
Can anyone believe that the great CBEC and Ministry of Finance have
not been able to promote a single officer despite the lapse of two and
a half year after the so called cadre review. The IRS customs remains
the only service where not even NFU has been given to the 1993 batch
let alone the much awaited promotions .no empanelment as js despite
the PM's directive . And no one ever listens.

Action taken on sexual harassment complaint
Copy of enquiry report and action taken report on appellant's
complaint pertaining to sexual harassment to his wife at work
place was sought. The respondent informed that the information
sought could not be provided under the provisions of Section 8(1)(h)
of the RTI Act as the disclosure of information at that point
of time would impede the process of investigation. Subsequently,
the SBI informed that an inquiry by the Internal Committee constituted
under Sexual Harassment Committee was conducted and the Committee's
report and the findings of the Committee had already been communicated
to the wife of the appellant. They further added that as per Section
16 of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition
and Redressal) Act, 2013 the contents of the complaint made, the
identity and addresses of the aggrieved woman, respondent and
witnesses, any information relating to conciliation and inquiry
proceedings, recommendations of the Internal Committee or the
Local Committee and the action taken by the employer or the District
Officer under the provisions of this Act, shall not be communicated
to the public and media in any manner. Further, the appellant
has no locus standi to file complaint on behalf of his wife. The
CIC accepted the submissions of the respondents. However, the
PIO was directed to pass a speaking order on appellant's RTI application.
Comments
In the cases of sexual harassment, the Supreme Court guidelines
issued under the Vishakha case have to be followed. The CIC has
preferred not to issue a notice to the third party under section
11 and has upheld the denial of information.
