Re: [HumJanenge] Can there be a worser depiction of our PM?

We have a genetic DNA to criticise any this which gives an inkling of being videshi, inspite of the the fact that most of us relish its usage. Let stop being hipocrats and accept if the concept is user friendly & upgrades the living standards

RE: [HumJanenge] WHAT IS OUR PROBLEM ?

Very well said. What is the way out? Galvanizing Public Opinion – but How? The latest is the move to push up MPs in the Roll of Precedence, including bringing MPs at par with Chief Justice of High Court ! A large number of MPs have Criminal background, and even those convicted are ‘hosted’ by State under Section 8(4) of Representation of People Act 1951. Surely both the Houses of Parliament will demonstrate OBEDIENCE as Peoples’ representatives reflecting latter’s will ! What is the way out?

Kapil sibal is indeed showing his true colours.it is by now amply evident that a person who has been in legal profession ( baring a few exceptions ) can never be depended upon to speak the truth or fight injustice. They are all adept at distorting facts and confusing the issues.They have no conscience,no principle and no ethic.

what does he mean by honest mistake ? No decision in the official matters is taken by a single person . a well prescribed channel is laid down for any proposal or grant of license ,permit or lease. All such transactions take their own time and we are quite aware of the slovenly ways in which the deal progresses.so any so called 'Honest mistake' which comes to light , is because of the greed and the deliberate attempt to favour some one or to make illegal money from the deal by wilful misuse of authority.

Honest mistakes can only occur in circumstances which require instant action like dealing with criminals and insurgents when a person is called upon to take action swiftly based on limited and at times misleading information.There you may not be able to look back for approval or verification.

kapil Sibal is the chief architect of all govt moves to delay and obfuscate the adoption of a strong lokpal Bill.As long as he is there , there is no chance of this happening till 2014.

Kapil Sibal statements that " honest mitake" is a mistake. A mistake is always a mistake. A honest mistake, after taking Oath is a dishonesgt mitake and needs to be dealt with. People who afford to make honest mistakes are predominantlhy negligent in their responsibility and care free in their acts. One cannot mistake 6 for 9 and send to gallows and claim honest mistake. People who make honest mistakes should resign from their jobs and repent all their life for mistake they did. Even honest mistakes can spoil the wholoe life time of the affected persons. If laws can be made which are all convenient to the Government, we do not deserve to have any laws. No laws can be made to suit the convenience of individuals. It should be for the entire nation and no exception in it. If you need exeception you do not deserve to be in the nation as equal to others. You cannot claim any special status in our constitution. Everybody is equal and every mistake needs to be dealt with properly. dwarakanathdm

Recently, there was a statement that a (telecom?) company can be penalized from 0 to 50 crore but the govt. shall penalize it for 50 crore so that the charge of taking graft from the Company can not be made. It is being present in a way as if imposing maximum penalty is a bad thing.

States told to act against RTI attackers

New Delhi, Nov 24 (IANS) State governments should 'promptly' investigate victimization of RTI activists and take action against their attackers, the Rajya Sabha was informed Thursday.

Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office V. Narayanasamy said in a written statement that at least nine RTI activists had been allegedly killed so far in the country.

'There have been some reports in the media that some persons have been assaulted in the last two years allegedly due to their role as RTI activists,' the minister said.

He identified nine such victims: Ramdas Pati Ghadegasonkar, Babbu Singh, Amit Jethwa, Datta Patil, Vittal Gite, Sola Ranga Rao, Arun Sawant, Shehla Masood and Nadim Sayeed.

Narayanasamy said there was no need for a separate policy to deal with such cases as existing laws were considered 'adequate to provide for safety and security to all citizens including RTI activists'.

He said the central government had drawn the attention of states to media reports about 'the victimization of people who use RTI to expose corruption and irregularities in administration.

'States have been requested that if any such instances comes to the notice, it should be properly inquired into and action taken against the offenders.'

Clearly, the govt. does not want to embolden the RTI activists by bringing whistleblowers protection bill.

Hello,

This had to come in a hurry and it has left me and my family in a devastating state.. I'm contacting you as I need your urgent financial assistance, my family and I made a trip to London,United Kingdom just for a short vacation tour but, it all ended ugly. our belongings such as credit card, cell phone, jewelries and cash all stolen from us, as we got mugged by some unknown gun men. My credit card,
can't be charged by the hotel as I already reported it as a stolen card,and the card company had canceled it, so i can only get a new one when we make it back home safely.

We've reported the incident to the embassy and the Police but to my dismay they seem not bothered...their response was just too casual.Our flight leaves in few hours but We've got to settle our bills before We're allowed to leave..I was wondering if you could loan me Money I'll refund it to you as soon as we arrive home just need to clear our Hotel bills and get the next plane home, As soon as we get home I'll refund it immediately.

Write me so I can let you know how to send it.

Thanks,
Satish
