[HumJanenge] incompetence and lackey-ism among the politicians cause of corrution too

That kind of ridiculous servitude & lackey-ism of our political leaders are  the most serious ill symptom of our society... it is the cause of unchecked corruption by the political leadership, especially by the caucus/dynasty at the helm of affairs of each party ... As the lower level is not competent & bold enough to object against the corrupt practices of the higher leadership... and they also emulate the corrupt practices.

Looking at the responses of the Chief Ministers, a few things are clear:

1. The states governed by Congress need not be consulted as they do not provide any feedback, only stating they will follow the high command. Among these, only the chief minister of Delhi seems to have something to say. 
2. States ruled by BJP all have the same reply.

Only the Delhi and Manipur Chief Ministers actually answered the questions asked by the Center.

[HumJanenge] My fresh Public Grievance pertaining to Lok Pal Bill

To:

The Secretary,
Department of Personnel & Training

By EMAIL

Dear Madam

I am reluctantly caused to complain to you concerning the quality and bonafides of private persons nominated for the Joint Drafting Committee for Lok Pal Bill (which is under your purview), specifically Mr Prashanth Bhushan (Advocate).

I am appending an email forwarded to me by one Justice (Retd) Kamleshwar Nath alongwith comments of Mr Prashanth Bhushan asking for wide publication / circulation of a scandalous email (attached) defaming his co Committee member and Union Home Minister Mr P.C.Chidambaram.

As your department's CPIO  has still not informed me why Mr Bhushan was appointed to the Joint Drafting Committee instead of myself, I further complain to you that in view of Mr Bhushan's comments I insist (as guaranteed u/a 19) to be provided a formal opportunity of submitting my comments / objections / suggestions via a public consultation process on the draft LokPal Bill as and when it is finalised or placed before Parliament as is the usual practice.

Kindly also place this email and its annexure on the official record of the Joint Drafting Committee or forward it to the Convenor / Secretary thereof to be placed on record.

With best Wishes

Sarbajit Roy

Re: [HumJanenge] Where India heading?


Baba Ramdev appeared to be in competition with Anna Hazare and his hurry to go on a fast only weakened Anna's efforts and the common man's chance to come under a united
front!

Having said that the swooping down by the police on peacefully sleeping people at Ramleela maidan is remniscent of treachery notwithstanding the fact that no visiting dignitory to Delhi Air port received a reception as magnanimous as Ramdev received!

Every politician stress that  our protest should be peaceful and non violent but that aweful
night it gave an impression that the Police appear to be having a licence to be violent by attacking unarmed people protesting for a genuine cause and anyone opposing that must be from the bandwagon of corrupt which is proved beyond doubt by the frequency with which massive scams are occuring under the very nose of the government. Attempt by people who matter and the common man to impress upon the powers that be on the gravity corruption over years in and years out drew flak! If person like Ramdev who grew with his own efforts, can afford plenty and carry on with his business has to raise the issue off corruption crippling our country it only amounts to say that there is something terribly wrong with our system!

Turning deaf ear endlessly by powers that be to genuine issues, sustained discrimination, disparity, neglect, suppression, inequitable distribution and so on coupled  with not even the least of efforts put in to alleviate poverty and starvation give birth to 'isms' like naxalism, terrorism, regionalism, racialism and so on and in the backdrop of that Ramdev's announcement to raise an army, at the spur of the moment is, to me, not surprising.

Our government has been denying to its people and opposition the same way Pakistan is in denial mood over the last several years to Indian government and if Pakistan is  wrong in denying evident crimes that they have perpetrated as per indian government, certainly our ruling party is wrong in denying to its people and opposition answers(solutions) to legitimate issues that should have been done in the normal course of administration! Remember every Indian stands behind the government to affirm that our neighbor Iis at fault
but the healthy debate/differences are on how the matter is dealt with!! One if the two, either rebellion or slavery is the result of suppression!!

                                 (Reaching Indians globally with your help, please do forward)

Namaskar & Vande-Mataram,

Something has gone dramatically & drastically wrong under the cozy environment of Patanjali Yogpeeth (Haridwar).
Baba Ramdev has spoken words which will come back to him like boomerang, this was completely uncalled for.
He and his subordinates taught the importance of a constitution to countrymen and life to follow strictly under the 
law of the land. The countrymen followed his words but he himself is falling short in believing the very importance 
of constitution. Is it not called hypocrisy?

Although many many people believe that Baba Ramdev has no intention to actually form an army to react with the
army of the constitution of India, his leadership will be questioned by all who believe in law of the land. There is 
no doubt the damage control will take place but Baba Ramdev is going to regret that he should not have lost cool.

The countrymen, specially low middle class and poor class is suffering from this drama. In stead of hoping for any
relief, now people are simply confused about the real change in the attitude of the government. On the contrary,
the government has reached its goal in creating chaos in the minds of supporter, who is responsible?

The correct meaning for 'Satyagrah' has been represented to the new generation incorrect way. Many worried 
about the Baba's challenge and its impact upon the youth. No matter how one rationalize the need of army trained
in the campus of Pranjali Yogpeeth, begins to loose the intensity & momentum of the Bharat-Swabhiman.

This is my opinion, what is yours?

Respectfully,

Kumar Arun

Re: [HumJanenge] Overwhelming response against Lokpal Bill clauses

Looking at the responses of the Chief Ministers, a few things are clear:

1. The states governed by Congress need not be consulted as they do not provide any feedback, only stating they will follow the high command. Among these, only the chief minister of Delhi seems to have something to say. 
2. States ruled by BJP all have the same reply.

Only the Delhi and Manipur Chief Ministers actually answered the questions asked by the Center.

Re: 2nd Freedom Struggle Re: [HumJanenge] WE all have failed the nation

Mukund, I am not highly literate on political systems so can use only layman's language. And in that language, I will repeat what some scholar has said, "Democracy is not the best but it is the best we got". When I see countries in the world (including much talked about country- China), I can not but appreciate that saying. Indian democracy has to evolve and only Indians can decide in what way it matures. May be it will be better than what is practiced in US.

      Dear Sir,
      Do you really feel Democracy that we are practicing is good and effective to make all Bhaarateey people happy & comfortable with it? Please note that this system is really 'foreign' to us and was imposed by British and then continued by our Government even after 1947. Since ancient times this Democracy was never in vogue in Bhaarat and Bhaarat was known to outsiders as 'Suvarnbhoomee' and even foreign travellers have written that there was no beggar anywhere therein. There was no Democracy there then.
      Since last 60 years Bhaarat is using Democracy and Janataa is electing its representatives to rule over self. The people or voters rarely if at all elected parties but the persons whom they feel were their true leaders. In Democracy such people have no place and to do anything they have to join a political party. If that becomes ruling, then these 'leaders' have to obey the party diktats on everything and vote for those resolutions agreed by the party. Once become ruling, that party does not give any value or importance to the election manifesto that they might have declared for getting votes. They carry out their activities and resolutions as per their predetermined agenda. They do not accept any interference of Janataa in its functioning, nor they give any value or importance to the opposition parties in the Parliament. In spite of these 'obstacles' they carry out their programmes. During all the period between elections, they are busy in collecting money for themselves and their party and also trying to keep their vote banks happy, so that they can get elected in next election also.They have no time to worry for the Nation or the people therein. Just imagine with 45 lakh crore rupees GDP of Bhaarat, there are around 60% of its population does not have adequate food to eat for survival. Of all people farmers are committing suicides. It is surely not expected from a responsible Government? But this is Democracy.
       Government is merrily following Western culture abandoning our own. Do not think that the Democracy being followed by West in something superior odr different. Are you aware that just 5 years before the Democratic Party of USA had established Environmental Pollution Control Commission to ensure Industry mantains the Enviromment pollution free. They made some rules for indudtry to follow for this. Just last year the Republicans (who have majority in Senate now) warned the EPC Commissionesr not to make Industry expend more with environmental pollution aspect. Since they say that there is no proof that the pollytion is because of industrial activities. So USA also is nor concerned with Earth (leave aside USA). Whatever one party (when was in majority) had done, the other just dismantles the same when their chance comes. Is it the way the States are functioning?
      Just see any country having Democracy. You will find there are minimum two divisions among people and are continupously fighting for power (for themselves), isn't it? How can Democracy really give any comfort or happiness to people or any prestige to the country? In Democracy the Government always becones arrogant and cannot consider all people as their own. That is the problem.
      Actually, as Dr Ferguson, a historian in Harvard Institutes states in his book "Civilization: The West and The Rest" that the West has patented six applications (of Statecraft) since last 600 years and have offered them to the Rest. The Rest have started accepting them since last 100 years starting with Japan. USA as we see currently is in its downhill journey and none can expect it to come up in near future. Japan has also (apparently due to Natural disasters) going the same way. Please note that the author gives the applications an adjective 'killer'. One of them is 'Competition'. Don't you think Democracy is only Political image of Competition?
      Democracy is a systen of Government unsuitable to any country in the world. Since others have not seen any except Dictatorship & Democracy, they do consider Democracy better. But Bhaarat has known others from ancient times functioning very well. It is its responsibility to practice some effective one from our earlier times and guide others to it, It is our responsibility also as Jagadguru. Shaantiparv in Mahaabhaarat gives in detail as to what are the duties of Government and how they are to be conducted.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a citizen of India. I am residing in south Mumbai, currently
represented in the parliament by Mr. Milind Deora, Congress MP. I am
writing this to protest against the action at Ramlila Maidan. You all
have connived with each other to loot the nation.

PLEASE INFORM YOUR PARTYS NOMINEE AND/OR HIS/HER
REPRESENTATIVE/WORKER/S NOT TO VISIT ME SOLICITING FOR VOTES IN THE
NEXT ELECTION IF YOU/YOUR PARTY/LEADERS ARE GOING TO SUPPORT THE
DILUTION OF RTI ACT AND ITS PROVISIONS. MY FAMILY HAS THREE VOTES AND
WE SHALL HAVE TO RESORT TO NEGATIVE VOTING IF YOU, BEING MY
GOVERNMENT/OPPOSITION. CANNOT PROTECT MY INTEREST AS CITIZEN AND ARE
DESIROUS TO CONTINUE WITH THE ALL ROUND CORRUPTION THAT WE ARE FACING.

I am sending a copy of this mail to other community members with whom I

against corruption.

We get the government we elect and I dont want to elect a corrupt
Government. Satyameva Jayate.

Re: [HumJanenge] An Open Letter for the Flag Bearers of Anti-Corruption Movement

Every honest citizens of India is affected by the section 4 Task Force and the collaboration of these NGO traitors to destroy RTI Act. In every fascist regime you will always find weak and corrupt (disposable) condoms which the ruling junta uses. The problem is the Citizens - who are like sheep / brainless chckens being led to the slaughter house and being distracted by the "in flight entertainment" (India Against Corruption and fake babas). en-route.

In that sense, it is good that we have people like Mr Sahil Afroz who go "beyond headlines" and ue their enemy's own weapon (s) against them.

Re: [HumJanenge] THOMAS WAS APPOINTED AS CVC DESPITE KNOWLEDGE OF VIGILANCE CASE


Dear Mr Apte,

There are two issues - Letter & Spirit.

Action may be correct in letter BUT NOT IN SPIRIT since CVC is a watchdog on corruption & the gentleman considered was already under investigation and
therefore bad in spirit & consequently bad in law due  "  mens rea "

As per conditions or empaneling contenders , being under inquiry he was ineligible & thus appointment of o ineligible person must be illegal.

False propaganda against Baba Amte needs to be dispelled. He is NOT usurping legislative powers of parliament but only trying to bring to their notice the desire
of the nation for an effective, purposeful mechanism with integrity to control corruption by state machinery.

Other citizen groups have not been debarred. They should also join in to lend weight in right spirits - need NOT agree to all points.

      Dear Sir,
      The appointment of Shri Thomas as CVC was done as laid down in our Constitution by the Government as per norms of Democracy with majority vote 2:1 in the selection Committee. Our Constitution lays down that a committee of 3 with a rep of Opposition should select one nominee from the panel presented by the Government to the Committee for the post. One member from opposition (in the Committee) opposed Shri Thomas. The Committee however with 2:1 did select Shri Thomas. Was not it done by Democracy? Yes it was. But it was proved to be embarrassing for the Nation.
      The problem is with Democracy. Once Committee is formed it is quite natural that the members from Government will be in majority (in the Committee). By observing majority principle of Democracy at any time Government can select any person (from the panel) that it wants. Actually what Constitution intends is that that person from the panel will be selected who has Least objection from all members of the Committee. That means the selection must be by unanimity in the Committee. Government surely may find this 'inconvenient'. And hence Democratic principle is found very useful for the Government. This is the condition in all such selections.
      Such Committee selections therefore must be by Unanimity to avoid such embarrassment to the Nation.

PJ Thomas was not cleared to serve on central deputation'

                                                                                       Economic Times, 13.6.2011.

NEW DELHI: After denying any communique from the Kerala government on the pending vigilance case against former CVC P J Thomas , the Centre has now made public a letter from the state which says he was not cleared to serve on central deputation.

The Central Public Information Officer of the Department of Personnel and Training in an RTI response had earlier said no such letter was with them. But during the first appeal, Deputy Secretary R K Mittal overturned the previous reply.

"After going through the relevant papers and official records, it appears that the CPIO was not able to link up the letter with the file concerned. Accordingly, CPIO is directed to refer to file...and provide the relevant information," Mittal said in his order.

After the decision, the letter dated March 11, 2008 from the chief secretary of Kerala objecting to Thomas' deputation to the Centre was provided to activist S C Agrawal.

The communique has punctured the claims of DoPT that it was unaware about the ongoing vigilance case against Thomas while short-listing his name for the post of anti-corruption watchdog Central Vigilance Commissioner.

"P J Thomas, IAS, Chief Secretary to Government (Kerala), had applied for Central Deputation in 1988, but was not selected for appointment. Subsequently after 1992, he had expressed his willingness for central deputation, but was not considered because of ongoing vigilance enquiry/case. Because of this he was not considered so far.

"The case has not been finalised yet. I may inform tha Thomas could not work at the Centre as he was not recommended for the same by the state government ," the letter from the chief secretary said.

60-year-old Thomas, a 1973-batch IAS officer of the Kerala cadre, was appointed chief secretary of the state in 2007 before moving to the Centre in 2009 as secretary, parliamentary affairs, telecom secretary and finally central vigilance commissioner.

The government had appointed Thomas as CVC despite dissension by Leader of Opposition Sushma Swaraj, who was one of the three-members in the selection committee comprising Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Home Minister P Chidambaram.

The apex court had later quashed the appointment of Thomas as CVC holding that the recommendation made by the panel, headed by the Prime Minister, did not consider the relevant material and, therefore, its advice "does not exist in law".

The court had scrapped his appointment as CVC on a PIL by Center for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL) and retired bureaucrats and police officials, including former Chief Election Commissioner J M Lyngdoh , challenging his appointment in view of a criminal case pending against him.

Later, the prime minister had said he was unaware of the pending case against Thomas and virtually blamed Chavan, who was MoS (Personnel) at that time, for the fiasco, contending that the key information was not provided.

Reacting to it, Chavan said vigilance clearance was the responsibility of the state government. He had also said the central deputation of Thomas was on the basis of documents provided by the Kerala government.

This argument was termed "baseless" by the then Chief Minister of Kerala V S Achuthanandan who said the Centre was duly informed about pending vigilance case against Thomas in 2008.
