DEBATE (1)
Modi. The man every one in every party loves to hate. But why does everybody
actually hate him?
They hate him because he can win elections. So all PM wannabes hate
him. Because of him, carefully cultivated vote banks do not always work.
So all "secular" (read "completely casteist") leaders
hate him. Those who kept winning elections by forming caste-religion
groups and looting the country hate him.
They laughed at him- Modi cannot even talk in English, how can Modi
deal with Foreign Policy? Today, Foreign Policy is Modi's greatest success.
They say- It has been one year and more, what has Modi done? They do
not allow the passage of laws in Parliament. Is Modi to be blamed for
that? They say- has Modi brought back black money? Black money stashed
abroad for sixty five years does not bother them, Modi's one year in
power does. They ask- development for whom? They keep dividing the country
in the name of caste and religion, and keep blaming Modi for being communal!
Aamir replaced by Amitabh- they said- shame on Modi. Modi, not time,
is the reason the contract is over! They say- suit boot ki sarkar! At
least it is better than 2G ki Sarkar. They have been trying every trick
in the book to paint the Modi Sarkar black. They say- every crime in
Delhi is due to Modi. They call Modi names. But has Modi ever called
anyone crazy? Has Modi intervened wrongly in any state's functioning
government? He has always maintained a dignified silence on the insults
heaped on him by PM wannabes. No leader today can match Modi. Is Bihar
laughing today at Modi or its own lawlessness? Delhi did not get Modi.
It got Tughlak.
All the while that all parties and all leaders keep attacking Modi
(day in and day out), he is working silently and tirelessly for the
betterment of India.

Govt too much dependent on IAS
Did we hear that there has been such a heavy implementation committee
for earlier pay commission ? Not only the government has appointed 11
member committee, but 7 are from IAS. Already the PC award is skewed
in favour of IAS. Now this IAS heavy committee to implement this one
sided award, other services cannot expect justice. This government is
too much dependent on IAS and all other services are demoralised.

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.
