What people say about us!
Sir, the advance information flashed in the whispersinthecorridor is
100% authentic. But, information relating to the Central Secretariat
Service viz. stagnation, promotion, etc. is not figuring. Do flash our
case also, as we the poor mortals do not have any godfather.

POLITICS
This is History (382)
Knowledge leads to unity
and ignorance to diversity.
One war in the offing
There is speculation in
Indian Army that there will be one war with Pakistan . Will the speculation
come true ?
RSS then and now ?
There was a discussion
-RSS then and now. Old politicians said forget old breed of RSS who
used to move in villages with " Gud and Chana " on their cycles.
And new breed of RSS men travel by AC First and Air. Many of them can
be seen staying in five star hotels.
RSS doing service in BJP ruled states
In BJP ruled states RSS is like a watchdog these
days. Top Sangh leaders are keeping a close watch on the alleged corruption
by the Ministers and the bureaucracy.
Daant ke baddle jabdaa...
Like us Pakistan too
is a Nuclear Nation!!
This is the 'bottom line' of the equation!!
Full scale war is not even on the table!
We know Pakistan is a rogue Nation that's unstable!!
Humm toh doobe hai India ko bhi doobaaye ge!!
Shool pe shool inne choobaye ge!!
Koyi toh shool tikhaane pe laghe ga!
Aur humaare peechche ladhne ke liye India bhaage ga!
They feel a war is a must!!!
In bombs and guns they trust!!
Isolating Pakistan ...nothing new!!
And there is already an Isolating Rogue Nations queue!!
In UNGA we will name and shame Pakistan!!
This would be the 'civil' response from Hindustan!!
Hopefully there will be a tit for tat response too!!!
This India must do!!
Like neutralise someone there who has inflicted pain on us!!
And then let them swear and cuss!!
Yes some would say this would start tit for tat covert attacks!!
But fact is in covert attacks Pak never lacks!!
So why not make it 'expensive' for them!
I think Madhav's statement ..for a tooth we'll take out the jaw is a
gem!!
Neither a Dove nor a Hawk!!
Show them in both languages we can talk!!
Daant thodo toh jabdaa nikaale ge !!
Haath millao toh jappi daale ge!!

Let President's rule be declared in Delhi
Chikungunya Dengue threat in Delhi, Sisodia gallivanting in Helsinki
. Jain quoting Google rape again in the National capital. What more
can we tolerate? Blame games being played at the cost of lives. Shame
on a party which swore on cleansing the system which they have contaminated
further. If the politicians are missing where is the beauracracy ? We
deserve all this and perhaps more for electing these people. Wonder
what the CP of Delhi is doing after Bassi left. Bas ho gaya. Let President's
rule be declared.

DATE WITH RTI

Routine transfer of RTI Application from head office
An application was under the RTI Act seeking certain information
about termination of dealership. The appellant prayed for imposition
of penalty under Section 20 (1) of the RTI Act and sought compensation
alleging that the custodian of the information transferred the
application to the Guwahati office. The CIC observed that the
somewhat confused replies appear to have been the result of the
system of dealing with the RTI applications filed to the Head
Office, under which such applications are apparently sent in the
first instance to the concerned state office even before checking
whether the information in question is available with any of the
departments at the Head Office. The CIC held that the Respondents
need to streamline the system to ensure that the applications
that can be disposed of at the Head Office are not sent needlessly
to the state offices. Further, since malafide intent on the part
of the Respondents was not established, no action was directed
against the PIO under Section 20. Furthermore, as the Appellant
did establish any loss or detriment caused to him because of the
replies of the Respondents to his RTI application, he was not
entitled to get the information.
Comments
In many public authorities, the complete RTI Application is routinely
transferred to multiple subordinate offices without proper examination
as to which office holds the information. Such a practice leads
to delay and an unnecessary paper work which the officials should
steer clear of.
