Bihar State Human Rights Commission should not hobnob with violators

I saw with disbelief if not horror a news-item published today in an English daily informing about the participation of the Chairman and Member of the State Human Rights Commission Bihar in a training programme for SIs in the human rights. The news paper cited two IPS officers as notable resource persons in the programme. One has been himself the violator of human rights during his postings at Patna as DIG and IG in the RJD jungle raj. A full-fledged inquiry could never be conducted against him because of a nexus among all the pillars of the system. I have detailed in my blog “NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION a drain on public exchequer, an (un)necessary evil” about the nature of the powerful connections enjoyed by such officers in today’s corrupt and hypocritical society.
The human rights authorities must keep themselves away from the company of elements whose track-record of human rights has been horrible

Save Patna Gandhi Maidan


I have learnt from a news-item that Bihar Govt. is going to install a 40 feet high statue of Gandhijee in the middle of the Gandhi maidan. Why are the homo sapiens out to ravage the natural settings of the maidan which is the only life-line for the breathless Patnaites? Even Gandhijee would have opposed the concretization of the maidan. A decade back damage had been done by putting concrete structures just in the middle. I urge to restore the lush green pristine ecology of the park so that morning walkers and children roam and play about all round without obstruction. Dismantle all concrete heaps in the name of Mahatma Gandhi. A true tribute to Gandhijee will be to spare installing concrete representations of man and animal on people's money and take care of the impoverished masses. Will the corrupt society do this?

Sibal attacks CAG report on 2G spectrum

Sibal has disputed the amount of revenue lost in the 2-G spectrum scam. Sibal’s objection is with regard to the amount of 1.76 lakh crore arrived at by the CAG taking into the probable price, the spectra would have fetched had there been an transparently open public bidding. The CAG has used various methodologies to come to some categories of figures of govt. money lost on account of the criminal culpability of the Minister and others.
 I am relieved that he has at least admitted that the scam has not devoured as much money as the public exchequer watch-dog had thought it to be.
 By advancing misleading arguments one might have succeeded in securing favorable verdicts. But truth always pricks the conscience.
 His skillful argument that NDA did the wrong by following the policy of first come first serve and so the UPA also looted the money in the same fashion, is appalling Let there be a thorough effective probe into the whole gamut and no one should be protected.
 But Sibal has bruised his credentials.

Congress is divisive

Wikileaks has disrobed the Congress party- a party of sycophants, court jesters and scamsters engaged in keeping their masters in good humour through antics, histrionics and disingenuous statements. This is the party created by a Britisher A.O Hume to perpetuate thraldom and slavery on Indian people.

US cables containing confidential communications between the US ambassador in India and the US govt. has exposed the communal opportunism of the party which had been enunciated by Indira Gandhi and zealously pursued by the courtiers as a means to gain power for acquiring wealth through scams and scandals without shame. And we the people of India are worse even to vote for them.
Today I find a news item about one General Secretary of the party linking so-called Hindu extremists with killing Karkare only to be controverted promptly by Karkare’s wife. How far these offspring of Aurangzeb (Gadkari’s parlance Aurangzeb ki aulad) can go for self aggrandizement? We have Mirzafar, Mann Singh, Jaichand and Shakti Singh as icons of treason and treachery even in the olden days and we all despise them.

Now in the light of the above revelations I am sure Sadhvi Pragya Singh, Colonel Purohit and others may have been implicated for political reasons otherwise how the death of the gangster-extortionist like Sohrabuddin and human bomb Ishrat can be a matter of priority for the Congress? By making such absurd statements the Congress people are helping Pakistani propagandists. It is sheer idiocy that a budding congress leader compares SIMI with RSS.
Actually we are beset with an intractable problem of having no healthy choice   for a political formation that may lead the country in strict accordance with the Constitution going beyond communalism, castism, corruption and moral decadence. The leftist are not reliable, BJP is no improvement (Yedurappa & reddy brothers cases) but not unpatriotic like others and the Congress is simply abhorrent and pernicious for the country and its security.

Therefore the need of the hour is to devise a polity which obviates the propencity to placate particular segments and which is able to command trust of the entire nation and does not breed politicians like  Diggy ,Maya ,Mulayam, Laloo and so forth.

Congress fears JPC

Parliament is paralyzed because of the obduracy of the Congress party. It should accede to the constitution of the JPC in order to let the Parliament function smoothly. After all JPC is also part of the Parliament.  Manmohan Singh is reportedly honest man but his hesitation for JPC is intriguing.
The BJP may have an agenda but the vehement opposition to JPC by the Congress party is more stinking.

An obituary ode to a union leader victimized by CAG officers

Two days back a man, I knew for his untiring relentless, dedicated and devoted unionism, breathed his last in a hospital due to brain hemorrhage. Late Gupteshwar Mishra started his govt. service from a humble position in the O/O of the Accountant General Bihar Patna during the seventies. He was not well educated but still possessed tremendous wit and common sense. He was courageous and always ready to help others. I was surprised at his eloquence and oratory.

Times came when out of his total dedication to the cause of employees he would support even a few controversial employees. But sometime back when I asked him why he fought for a corrupt employee he had regretted that.

An unfortunate turn in his life came when he remained suspended for a long time. In 2004 or 05 he was arrested at night in a fake CrPC 107 proceeding under influence of a corrupt-castist AG, humiliated and put under police custody for days in breach of the Cr.P.C provisions. Finally he was dismissed from service. The irony was that all his life he carried the leftist flag but even his comrades enjoying luxury of the UPA-1 did absolutely nothing for him.

Recently CAT Patna had ordered for his reinstatement. But the present AG did not comply with the order. After about 6 months of the order (well beyond period of limitation) the AG advised by some officers at the CAG office moved the High Court against the fair, just and well reasoned order of the CAT, to save two corrupt IAAS officers posted at Patna, Gupteshwar Mishra had reported that Dhariwal had instructed his staff to engage a particular lawyer not for his ability but for his kin-ship to some judges belonging to a particular caste.

In all this litigation protracted by the CAG office Mishra had incurred heavy loans and was under tremendous tension which lastly cost his life.

The system has corrupted so much that a poor employee finds itself in a situation where the errant officers spent lakhs of rupees in perpetuating injustice and prolonging litigations. Has ever such an officer been punished drastically? They engage famous lawyers in strong cases just to procrastinate a case. They laugh at the delay which fetches them promotions and retire peacefully by the time justice comes at the cost of torment, ruin of family or suicide or brain hemorrhage of the poor employee

The people of India represent a dead civilization no revolution can take place to liquidate corrupt politicians ,bureaucrats and other such constitutional entities.

With these words of frustration and anguish I pray to God to rest his soul in peace..

Decline in sports & atheletics

The dismal performance by Indian athletes in the Guangzhou Asian games is very depressing. In the medal tally India lags behind small countries like Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the two Koreas among many more. All the brouhaha of the CWG games has weathered down.


Had we spent even 1/3rd of the stupendous money squandered on the CWG extravaganza in setting up sports infrastructures, providing training and dietary supports to all the villages and towns that would have created great sport-potentials with possibility of greater success.

But corruption indulged in by politicians and civil servants comes in the way as usual. The shameless can not mend themselves. Execute them the way China has done.
