General V.K Singh should not share any security related clandestine operations intelligence with anyone including the media

Elements backed by Pakistan government and its terror machine the ISI are very active in India. They want to debilitate our institutions like army, I.B., R.A.W and other specialized defense units entrusted with the task to secure our country from external and internal machinations.

That is why a retired army chief who had frustrated the designs of the corrupt politicians to get kick-backs in defence purchase deals during his tenure is being targeted doggedly. He is being forced to reveal inputs of covert operations done in the interest of the nation by targeting his character. We appeal to General V.K Singh not to share any security related clandestine operations intelligence with anyone including the media. It is exactly what Pakistan and other inimical countries want through their agents in governance. General Singh must know that the several politicians, Journalists, bureaucrats, businessmen and so-called academics of India have been on the pay-roll of the USA and other countries. Osama Bin laden could not have been killed without bribing the Pakistanis in the army and government.

The Union Government must reply to the country as to why the secessionists in Jammu & Kashmir are living on public largesse, why the Abdullahs are playing double games, why the antinational there have not been crushed in a way the Americans do., what has been the account of thousands of crores of money pumped into the state by the Centre, why is the development not noticeable in commensurate with the money, why Article 370 is still a cruel joke for the rest of the Indians.

Terrorists killed by our brave forces are held as heroes by politicians who have no compunction to implicate officers who liquidated them.

Only yesterday the whole Government busied itself to get an ordinance in place to negate the Supreme Court Judgment on disqualifying the legislators convicted in crimes, only to benefit Laloo from probable corruption conviction.  The President should not act in haste and should discuss the matter with legal luminaries.

Rampant corruption, wretched economic situation, unprecedented price rise, communal vote politics, repeated unchallenged violations of our borders by belligerent neighbors and penetration of terrorists all where have been given a short shrift.

CAG’s Officer Splurge 25 Lakhs of Government Fund on Tour Only

I wrote in my blog “Extravagance in CAG organisation unpardonable” three years back.

The overzealous crusader against corruption in public places Vinod Rai the then CAG looked the other way. When it came to fighting corruption within his own organization Rai definitely adopted an ostrich like attitude. Complaints with tangible charges of corruption & misconduct against officers under him were never looked into. There are numerous instances where tainted officers were promoted without a hitch, accommodated in desired posts, given extensions after extensions.

One blue eyed officer was posted in Bihar just after Rai’s coronation as the super sentinel, given charges of three different offices at  points of time, readily granted extensions at his will and lastly continued at Patna till the Rai’s tenure ended. Even Rai gratified him at the last moment of the tenure by posting him as Principal Director Inspection in the CAG office. No bigger joke than the assignment having the opposite persona. This officer passed outlandish orders and Rai blessed him. He falsified records and Rai ignored, he indulged in corruption and Rai took no notice of.

Now the RTI information reveals vide Annexure-A of letter no. Admn 1/RTI/2013-14/387  dated 05/07/2013 issued by O/O A.G (A&E) Bihar Patna and vide Appellate Authority's Annexure-A of letter no. A.G.(A&E) Admn 1 (A&E)/RTI/13-14/641 dated 30.8.13 that one officer Shri IDS Dhariwal spent about Rs. 25 lakh on tour only during his posting in Bihar. He spent about Rs.13 lakh from government fund on air travel alone. The exact figure of government money spent by Dhariwal on tour is Rs.19,18,808/ in addition to free rail passes of AC 1^st class which must have been not less than Rs. Five lakhs.

IDS Dhariwal paid his membership fee of the elite Patna Golf Club Rs.31,163/ from state exchequer. Needless to say this allied officer lived like a king in the state of Bihar which ranks 74^th in global hunger index.

The whole institution is mired deep into the cesspool of corruption. The new CAG has a task to cleanse it.

Bring to justice political leaders responsible for division of the country on communal lines

!5th August 2013
Today is the Independence Day. All patriotic forces must celebrate the day with enthusiasm & fervour. But this day also remind us of the invidiously unjust division of Indian State on communal lines with motivated ethnic cleansing, targeted genocide, pangs and sufferings of the millions in the north west frontier region, Sind, the Punjab, Multan, Peshawar, Dacca, Camilla, Barisal, Rajshahi , Chittagong and several other places where all the primordial natives were completely butchered or expelled into the divided territory what is called India today.

We got ‘freedom” from the colonial rule. But we also got a truncated State, communalism, corruption, criminal politics, extreme poverty, timid leadership, personality cult of failed leaderships. Even today half of the population still lives without food at least one time a day. The 90% of the population do not qualify the international standards of nutrition. But we still are subject to distorted history of ‘glorious’ legacy. Our Jawans are beheaded; our borders are violated every other day. We continue to adore as national heroes those who damaged the Indian State the most.

The situation today is that the anti-national forces and traitors are omnipresent. They are playing a dominant role in governance. Our soldiers’ sacrifices are being belittled by crooked politicians every day and we are dismayed and helpless.

Today there is news of the celebration of the Pakistan Day and hoisting of (na)Pak flags in some parts of Indian territories including in J&K and U.P. We as Indians are ashamed such elements are still alive.

Today we the Indians must also take a pledge that every resolve will be made to bring the political leaders who were instrumental in breaking the integrity of the country and who readily accepted the birth of Pakistan to justice for treason and war-crimes for their inability and deliberate connivance in not checking the ethnic cleansing in Pakistan whether they are alive or dead.

Judicial Reforms-- Reduction of Judges’ Discretion First Imperative

The Government of India has failed to bring the bill for judicial reforms in parliament. One of the reasons of obnoxious practices in judiciary especially in some section of the higher one is too much liberty exercised by a judge in using discretion in judicial proceedings particularly at the admission stage.

There are provisions in the procedural or Constitutional laws to use discretion in securing ends of justice. But now a days this discretion is being misused in selective manner. One bench goes on to decide the matter on merits in case of gross violations of fundamental or legal rights; another bench dismisses a writ, application or SLP purely on the point of maintainability, alternative remedy or technical lacuna in similar situation.

In a righteous judicial stance there must not be any variation with change of benches. Decisions from the same set of facts and laws must be the same irrespective of benches.

Discretion invariably affects justice. More the discretion the more are the chances of arbitrariness. The first step should be to eliminate the element of discretion or reduce it to minimum level so that unscrupulous judges do not promote arbitrariness, partiality and favoritism. For this, research should be undertaken to effectively lay down programmed and charted format/paradigm where there is a sense of predictability about the outcome of a case depending upon the facts and law.

The second point of reform should be to make accountable a judge who gives grossly wrong decisions at the cost of fundamental and human rights. Complaint disposal system should be transparent & effective.

The third reform should evolve on recruitment policy of judges and the collegium system must go in favor of a broad spectrum selection panel.

The fourth one should aim at spurring the replacement of or amendment to the impeachment provision so that without diluting the independence of honest judges there must be a mechanism to effectively discipline an errant or corrupt judge.

The fifth and the most important step of reform should focus on the character, moral robustness, incorruptibility and conduct of a judge in his social surroundings.

The sixth reform should entail constant performance appraisal with a focus on quality judgments.

The seventh point of reform should restrain judges indulging in criticism of institutions or individuals off record. A check on judges’ sermons in courts which do not form a part of their orders must be enforced. Only yesterday we noticed news about a judge lamenting denial of justice to ordinary citizens but his own performance belies his own words.

Trifurcate Jammu & Kashmir before Telangana comes into being

In  J & K,  Ladakh  and Jammu are two distinct areas marked by linguistic, cultural and geographical differences. Politically also the people of these regions stand subjugated under the people of the Kashmir valley who have been their rulers even though these two parts are racially, culturally and religiously not in complete harmony with the valley people.

Pakistani and secessionist elements rule the roost. They have driven away the native Sikhs and Pundits from the valley. But our leadership continues to shelter the traitors.

Ladakh and Jammu must be separated from the valley and then quell the militancy in the valley with so much brutality that generations to come may not raise its disintegration bogey again.

Yesterday Pakistani army intruded ½ K.M. inside our boundary and killed five jawans. Every-day China slaps us in the face. The terror-outfits have permeated every nook and corner of the country. The I.S.I. is influencing politics. We are a battered nation with no self-pride or determination because the leadership has failed us due to its meekness & weakness. Our sovereignty is at stake. Morale of State is low. We are still ruining our institutions like I.B., police and defence forces. About 10 IPS officers are in jail for killing terrorists. God save this country from the crooks.

We hope a strong leader will emerge like Sardar Patel who would crush any voice that militates against the integrity of the country.

Indian Political Parties are afraid of Right to Information Act

All the political parties have ganged up in an unprecedented unity to obstruct transparency in their functioning. They all are opposing tooth & nail their coverage under the R.T.I.Act 2005. The bigger the party the bigger is its resolve to escape the dragnet of the transparency law. They are enjoying government facilities, tax-exemptions, and buildings on prime lands at premium locations in the national & state capitals, and several concessions & public donations. But they want an exit from the ambit of the Act. The more corrupt a party the more vociferous it is in its demand to negate the recent CIC order by bringing in a legislation in the Parliament.

Only the corrupt need to shy away from transparency be it the institutions or the political parties. The Act has taken good care of the issues sensitive to the unity and integrity of the nation by having an exemption clause. I do not think any other exemptions should be retained in the section 8 at all of the RTI Act in today’s world of exposures and revelations. We have example of the wiki leaks that has bared every secret so trenchantly guarded by the USA. Recently there was news that the Americans are having an electronic surveillance over India.

So when the western countries can have a tab on our official secrecy, when they know about the Indians having Swiss accounts and black money and, when even Pakistan has an access to information to our country-secrets why these corrupt parties are worried about us the voters. Afterall we all know they are shameless too.
