Re: [IAC#RG] Corruption Complaint re MINHA/E/2012/00809

Dear Mr. Sundaresan,

Please don't list out things which almost everybody on this list knows at fingertips, and can do nothing about. If you have to contribute something positive, instead of being yet another useless "keyboard warrior", please do so.

Mr.Ambreesh Pandey had exposed that criminal MPs were being provided sophisticated arms by Government including prohibited bores. He was unable to process his case further because MHA had failed to act on his Public Grievance.

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/mps-charged-with-serious-crimes-get-guns-from-government/article3713864.ece

By my email to the MHA, IAC has put Mr. Ambreesh's stuck car back on the right track. In a few days the appropriate statutory complaint can be filed under the concerned sections against the Union Home Secretary. Statutory proceedings will follow long after his retirement, and he will have to pay for these out of his own pocket. This is a tried and tested formula which only depends upon th determination of our member to pursue to the end.

You have also been sending many emails complaining that IAC should do this or IAC should do that or IAC is not doing anything. This IAC is not the Anna/Kejriwal IAC. We have a transparent ideology which is in public domain. Please read it.

Dear Sri Sarbajit Roy,

Your letter to MHA reveals that nobody is afraid of indulging in corruption despite so much noises are  made in the country.  Some people are agitating through various sources against corruption, but at the same time, despite all these agitations, corrupt people are continue to indulge in corruption without any fear of consequences.  This is because, there is no severe punishment in India for those who indulge in corruption.  2 G Scam A. Raja is happily roaming around in Delhi or Chennai. The other crucial players in the 2G, the UPA Chairman, PM, FM are left out. As had happened in the Coalgate CBI Report to SC, the CHI Report on 2G must have been vetted by PMO, FM, LM, SG, ASG and others to ensure that their names are not figuring in the Report to SC.  How 2G Scam can happen without the knowledge of PMO, FM and LM .  There is a complete cover up by CBI on 2 G Scam.  Even though there are clear evidences of implication of PMO, FM, SG, ASG CBI filed FIR letting off others involved.  Karunas Daughtger Kanimozhi, wife Dhayalu, nephew Dhayanidhi Maran are all involved in the 2G Scam.  Now, slowly, their names are getting diluted. Karuna had built up a Empire in TN.  How he had amazed such a huge wealth ?  SUN TV Network owned by Dhayanidhi Maran, more than 30 TV Channels in different languages. He illegally laid Cables to connect his SUN TV Network without any licence and approval from Telecom Authorities incurring loss to the exchequer to the extent of Rs.350 Crores. How he was able to start so many TV Channels ? What is the sources of  money to start so many channels ?  Karuna owns more than 20 Kalaigner TV Channels. What was the source of income to start so many TV Channels just like that in no time. TV Channels after Channels daily being started.  How it is possible ? What is their source of so much of income.  His Daughter owns lot of business interest and running 5 or 6 Engineering Colleges in and around Trichy.  How it is possible ? His wife Dhayalu owns lot of business interest in Chennai and other places. TATAs through their Voltas  gifted away prime lands in hearts of Chennai to Karunas Binami.  This matter came up in the CBI Report and it is all silenced  now by influential politicians.  

Om Prakash Choutala may be in Jail.  But, he may be enjoying 5 Star comfort in Jail.   
Lalu Prasad Yadhav involved in Cattle Feed Scandal is yet to be punished.  Despite his direct involvement in this scandal, he got elected as an MP and held the Cabinet Rank Railway Minister.  There are several cases against Mulayam Singh Yadhav and Mayavathi.  CAG submitted serious allegations against Food and Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on import and export of food grains.  All these Reports put in the cold storage because of the influence of Sharad Pawar. On Adharsh Scam, even all Maharastra Cheif Ministers and other Ministers involved from 1998, none of them are punished and they are all holding high positions either at Central or at State.  

After the exposure of 2 G Scam, Adharsh in M'stra and Mining Scam in J'kand, people should fear to indulge in corruption.  But, it is no so and so many Scams come to light after wards. 
 
The HP CM was involved in cases of evasion of his Apple Orchards income, Receipt of bribe money  through investments in his name, but all are wiped out by CBI by giving clean chit and he is elected again as CM. The death of Rajasekhara Reddy in a Helicopter crash is still a mistry and actions against his Son JM Reddy onm DPA cases are still not clear. Similarly, there may be cases in Gujarath, MP, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana (Haryana land cases against Robert Vadara are all dropped). 

Take the case of Coalgate.  MMS held this Ministry.  So much of Scam had happened in Coal Ministry. Ashwani has become a scapegoat.  But MMS  pretends nothing had happened.  Take the case of Bansal. so much evidence to point his involvement in the Scam.  But MMS is protecting him. Now, he is let off and slowly the case will be diluted.
What I want to bring home, there are no punishment for politicians who indulge in Scam.  So, Politicians or Bureaucrats or Executives not afraid of any Scam and they continue to indulge in fresh Scams.

Re: [HumJanenge] Fwd: Another Writ Petition filed in Odisha High Court for removal of Sri Jagadanand Mohanty, SIC on the ground of incapacity, for his lack of judicial mind

Pradhan ji, by approaching to the HC, u have taken a right step and this is the only way which is open to all of us now as some ICs are working for the PIOs and Public Authorities instead for the applicants.  A very sad and sorrow affair. Such IC have forgotton that they enjoy this status for the sake of applicants.  Gross misuse of power and a steep fall.  Such officers, in fact, are one of the contributors to the corruption prevailing now-a-days. Another factor is that it is not easy to approach even the lower Court, forget about the HC.  We need to have some RTI lawyers working for the cause without profit motive. If every advocate take up only one such case in a year, the scenario may be different.

Subject: [HumJanenge] Fwd: Another Writ Petition filed in Odisha High Court for removal of Sri Jagadanand Mohanty, SIC on the ground of incapacity, for his lack of judicial mind

 Writ Petition filed in Odisha High Court  for  removal of Sri Jagadanand Mohanty, State Information Commission  on the ground of incapacity,  for his  lack of judicial mind  and  arbitrarily closing  the cases  without ensuring information to the complainant-citizen.
 
Dear friends
On 2.5.13, Sri Karunakar Behera, a petitioner of Mayurbhanj district have filed a writ petition W.P (C) No.  10207  /2013 in Odisha High Court  challenging  the decision of the decision of  Sri Jagadanand Mohanty, State Information Commissioner  who with malafide intention  disposed  and closed the case without  providing information on 4.1.13.  The Petitioner Sri Behera  has appealed the court  to    quash the order dated 04.01.2013   and has  prayed  for a direction to the PIO, office of CDMO, Mayurbhanj  to provide  the required information and   direct the Information Commission  to take action deemed proper against the concerned Public Information Officer  within a stipulated period .  The Petitioner has also prayed for removal of Mr. Jagadanand Mohanty from the post of Odisha Information on the ground of inefficiency and incapacity.
 
On 20.7.10, Sri Karunakar Behera  had  submitted RTI Application to the PIO, office of Chief District Medical Officer  seeking information about pensionary benefits of  Sri Prabir Ch. Mohapatra, retired  Health Inspector. It needs  to be mentioned here that  Sri Prabir Ch. Mohapatra though retired in 1997  is not  getting his  pension  since last 16 years  due to  corruption and malpractice  in the office of CDMO, Mayurbhanj  and callous attitude of the  officials. He has been harassed a lot. With a view  to give justice to  Sri Mohapatra, Karunakar Behera  had sought  this information.
 
 Finding no information Sri Behera  filed a complaint case before the state information commission requesting to redress his grievances. The said case was numbered as C.C No.1982 of 2010 and preliminary notice was issued to the opposite parties by the commission by memo No.850 dated 13.01.2011 directing him to submit the status report to the state commission within 15 days of the receipt of the letter and to send a copy of the report to the complainant.
 
The PIO, after receiving the notice from the state information commission by his letter No.616 dated 24.01.2011 supplied certain information which was received by the petitioner on 24.02.2011 which is after 203 days of application. But the information supplied  by the PIO  was vague, false and incorrect and not the information sought for .
 
Sri Behera  brought it to  the notice of the commission and the commission fixed the date to 27.10.2011 for hearing of the case but on the same day the information commissioner, Mr. Jagada nanda Mohanty without any just cause and reason adjourned the case although he was  present on that day.    Sri Behera made a complaint  to  the State Chief Information Commissioner  about  the  malafide intention of Sri Jagadanand for  adjourning  the case.
 
Then after one year, the case  was heard on 2.3.12 by Pramod Kumar Mohanty, another Information Commissioner  who directed  the  petitioner  to produce the discrepancy chart and  the PIO to supply the correct information. The PIO again supplied  the misleading information on 17.4.12.
 
Then, on 7.5.12,  this case was heard  by Sri Tarun Kanti Mishra, State Chief Information Commissioner  who directed  the PIO to supply all permissible information within 15 days and closed the case. The PIO was also directed to submit an affidavit to the commission stating that all the available and permissible information has been supplied to the complainant.
 
The PIO did not supply any information.  Sri Behera again filed the second appeal petition on the advice of Law Officer of the Commission. Sri Jagadanand Mohanty, SIC heard the case on 22.11. 12. The Commission directed  the PIO  to allow the complainant to make  inspection of documents. But  the PIO  did not  allow the  inspection.    Sri Behera, Complainant again approached  the  Commission.  On 4.1.13,  Sri Jagadanand  did not  hear the  case  and  abruptly  closed it without ensuring any information  and  imposing no  penalty  on PIO  for  violation of the RTI Act.
 
Now, Sri Behera approached the honorable  High Court to get  justice  so as to help     a retired employee   who is  running from pillar to post  to get  pension.

Re: [IAC#RG] Corruption Complaint re MINHA/E/2012/00809

Presently there is no check up on the disposal of Public Grievances. One of  my complaint of 2011 against Ministry of Consumer Affairs has been disposed of recently. I have filed a petition with CIC in the matter and the order is as under:
File No.CIC/SM/A/2012/001695


During the hearing, the Respondent submitted that the centralised data
maintained by the Department did not classify the grievances/complaints
department wise and, therefore, the CPIO could not provide such details. He
clarified that only the broad statistical details as available in the database had
been communicated to the Appellant in response to his RTI application.
5. It is surprising that the Department does not maintain a more detailed
database to deal with the innumerable grievances and complaints received
from the citizens. Now that everything is computerised, it should be possible to
maintain such a database clearly classifying the grievances and complaints,
department wise. If this is done, it would be easy to monitor the
grievances/complaints forwarded, from time to time, to various departments and
organisations. We hope the Department would take steps to improve its
database management.

Sir

Shri Ambreesh Pandey has complained to this office that the Customs Dept is disposing of confiscated weapons in breach of MHA's prescribed norms.

A Public Grievance concerning this had been lodged by him on the PGPORTAL which is registered at MINHA/E/2012/00809 and is pending with you since 04-July-2012.

It has been reported that MHA is demanding a substantial bribe from the Complainant to attend to his registered grievance. You may kindly take careful notice that the time to dispose of registered public grievances is 2 months, whereas Mr. Pandey's grievance is pending for over 10 months, lending credence to his contention that the Union Home Secretary is demanding a bribe to process his complaint and resolve his grievance filed as a patriotic Hindustani in the national interest.

In the circumstances, it would be fit if you kindly resolved Mr. Pandey's pending grievance by next Friday 17-05-2013 positively, failing which Mr. Pandey is advised by this office to seek formal sanction to prosecute the said Secretary/MHA for corruption and dereliction of statutory duties.

The annexures to Mr. Pandey's Public Grievance are reattached for your ready reference. Kindly acknowledge receipt of this communication.

NB: This email is being circulated in public domain concerning the serious security and corruption issues involved.

Re: [IAC#RG] ESCALATION: PUBLIC GRIEVANCE: DoPT's new Guidelines on suo-moto disclosure in RTI.

To:
Shri P.K.Misra, IAS
Secretary, Department of Personnel

BY EMAIL

Date: 11.05.2013

Sir,

I am constrained to inform you that I have not had the courtesy of a reply from you to my email below.

I am again constrained to bring to your notice my specific grievance that the DOPT, under you,  has advised all the Ministries and Departments of the Union Government to publish on their websites all RTI requests, replies and appeals pertaining to them

I am constrained to object as follows:-

1) That the said advice is CORRUPTLY delivered on the lobbying of Ms Aruna Roy, a notorious foreign financed tout embedded within an irregular government body "National Advisory Council (NAC)" through a Task Force packed with her equally foreign financed operatives.

2) The consequence of this advice is that RTI users all over India shall be threatened, attacked and killed.

3) That this obnoxious clause 1.4.1. was CORRUPTLY inserted without any proper public notice.

4) That all my own comments against the Task Force's proceedings were ignored due to the clout and influence these foreign controlled touts wield within your Department. It seems that under your watch Indians and dogs are not welcome at the DoPT.

5) That the said advice is contrary to many specific provisions RTI Act as is clear from the preamble to the Act

"Now, therefore, it is expedient to provide for furnishing certain information to citizens who desire to have it."

6) I don't think it is anybody's case that all communications between citizens and government should automatically be placed in public domain over the internet.

I would therefore be obliged if the said clause 1.4.1 is immediately withdrawn in the larger public interest and the same communicated to me by next Friday 17-05-2013 at the very latest.

With best wishes

Sir,

I am constrained to inform you as follows:-

1) That Shri Manoj Joshi, JS(AT&A) has not yet acknowledged my email addressed to him, dated 21.04.2013.

2) That every time I complain to the DoPT using Public Grievance Facility, certain vested interests like Ms. Aruna Roy (Member/NAC) ensure that the concerned files get stolen / lost within DoPT. The junior officers of the concerned RTI section are hapless since the oral orders to arrange the theft of these files emanate directly from the National Advisory Council and they are powerless to refuse. When the officers refuse to be cowed down to make the files disappear they are bribed with out-of-turn promotions, such as in the case of Mr. K.G.Verma (formerly Director/RTI) who arranged that some crucial files disappeared and no FIR was lodged for it.

3) In the instant case, I am aggrieved that Ms. Aruna Roy-member NAC (who describes herself as being founder of an organisation styled as National Campaign for People's Right to Information - "NCPRI") managed to pack a Task Force for RTI suo-moto disclosure with constituents of the NCPRI, to the extent that all the representatives of so-called "civil society" in the Task force were her dummies who uniformly demanded to be heavily reimbursed for their participation in the Task Force, and which I suspect is a kick-back for Ms. Aruna Roy who got them appointed by misusing her position as member NAC, where incidentally she mock-piously takes no money.

4) As Mr. Manoj Joshi has a long way to go in public service, he is evidently not prepared to tangle with fixers like Ms. Aruna Roy and take up my public grievance with the integrity and dedication it deserves.

5) Accordingly, I would be obliged if my public grievance is therefore entrusted to some capable and upright officer, if there are any, in your Department for urgent and expeditious resolution.

6) I and members of my movement - the "India Against Corruption" are OUTRAGED at a particularly obnoxious and bizarre clause 1.4.1 in these guidelines, inserted at the behest of Ms. Aruna Roy, which is designed to target RTI Activists so as to get them killed and/or physically assaulted and threatened etc., and which I say should be withdrawn immediately since the present position is that an RTI request abates on the death of the applicant.

Sir

I refer to the RTI Guidelines on suo-moto disclosure. I have carefully noted that these are stated to be based on the proceedings of the Task Force of May 2011 which allegedly included some civil society representatives.

http://ccis.nic.in/WriteReadData/CircularPortal/D2/D02rti/Suo_moto_disclosure-15042013.pdf

It seems all my several objections and public grievance made to you and your predecessor Mr Rajiv Kapoor that the so-called members of civil society organisations of the May 2011 Task Force are bogus and/or fake persons hand-picked by Ms. Aruna Roy (NAC/NCPRI) to push through a foreign financed transparency agenda, have been ignored / overlooked / not considered.

Let me reiterate for your benefit a few of my objections which were not considered while issuing these guidelines :-

1) NCRPI was meant to send 1 representative, they sent 3 (Mr. Venkatesh Nayak, Ms Rakshita  and Mr. Nikhil Dey).

2) Satark Nagrik Sangathan is a dummy constituent of NCPRI operating out of a small "scooter garage" measuring 4' x 6' of a DDA flat.

3) JOSH is another constituent of NCPRI, as is MAGP, which is closely associated with NCPRI.

4) "IT for Change"'s connection to NCPRI is unclear

On the other hand there is no dearth of civil society organisations working for RTI which openly disagree with and are not connected to NCPRI and who ought to have been represented.

I would therefore request you to kindly acknowledge my instant grievance and immediately recall your impugned Guidelines. In the alternative I would be left with no alternative but to complain against the officers who allow such blatant lobbying by Ms Aruna Roy to take place for extraneous considerations, and I would do so publicly.

PS; for your ready reference the text of one such complaint I made to Mr. Rajiv Kapoor by email on 9.June.2011 is appended below, and I hope the same was taken into consideration while formulating  these guidelines

SUBJECT: Concerning section 4 RTI Act Task Force

1) I thank you for the courtesy extended to me when I visited your office today in connection with my grievances regarding PG and RTI matters and consequent perception / accusations of impropriety ./ dishonesty. I am very concerned that no wrong / false accusations are made / perceived to be made.

2) For your ready reference, I am listing a few initial concerns of mine on the OM for composition of the Task Force for section 4 RTI Act implementation, and on which OM public comments are invited.

A) That many (perhaps all) of the 5 NGOs selected for the Task force seem to be hollow / fake organisations, none of which could be located by me in the NGO database maintained by the Planning Commission of India [http://ngo.india.gov.in/ngo_search1_ngo.php] having over 35,000 duly registered VOs / NGOs. It is pertinent that the Planning Commission requires a valid address and copy of the Incorporation Certificate of the NGOs for listing on the website, which further leads me to suspect that some or all of the 5 NGOs are unincorporated or having other deficiencies in their particulars / place of business.

B) That I was informed that some of the "fake" NGOs on the Task Force are demanding that they be "reimbursed" for expenses allegedly incurred by them instead of accepting grants / contracts as funding for their Task Force obligations. I apprehend that such demands will expose your Department to fresh accusations of corruption and money laundering, especially since no tenders (or other transparent procedures) have been followed to select these NGOs. I would humbly suggest that the financial systems / accounting processes / balance sheets of the concerned NGOs be properly assessed before any funds are released / reimbursed to them. It would not be out of place here to mention that I am given to understand that until very recently Mr Shailesh Gandhi (Central Information Commissioner) continued to jointly operate funding systems of the NCPRI running into lakhs of rupees despite the fact that Mr Nikhil Dey is ostensibly the.NCPRI convenor.

C) That many of the NGOs / representatives who attended the first meeting of the Task Force appear to have no verifiable expertise concerning non-compliance / implementation of section 4 of RTI Act. For example Mr Nikhil Dey, Ms Aheli Chowdhury, Ms. Pankti Jog, IT for Change etc have not filed any appeals / complaints at the CIC whatsoever (as per CIC website),  and so the average observer (hard pressed to know what other expertise they possess in this field) would trust that the DoPT would proactively arrange that the concerned NGOs detail their expertise in the field citing the appeals / complaints in which they are parties concerning section 4 implementation before the Information Commissions, and which could be disseminated via the website of the DoPT.

D) That there are many expert individuals who are domain experts in the practical problems of section 4 delivery and access. These persons can be easily located from public domain resources such as the decision database of the Central Information Commission or through their prior correspondence / RTIs to the DoPT etc. In my view such affected / expert individuals would be a far better resource to be directly tapped to determine the problems / ambiguties, if any, with section 4 RTI Act, and I am certain (as I know many of them) that they would share their knowledge freely / without charge if properly invited / requested instead of merely asking them to comment on minutes of meeting involving NGOs / CSOs.

E) That my close reading of the OM constituting the Section 4 Task Force shows that it specifically excludes the citizen stakeholders (ie. the statutory clients) from its participatory purview. In the circumstances it would be irregular to expect that aware individuals actively involved in RTI would voluntarily participate in a policy formulation process which deliberately excludes them (except as a token formality / afterthought) and which instead includes ersatz substitutes in their place.

f) There is also the issue of disclosure of information (intellectual property) submitted to the Government in confidence, and whether such submissions in the course of a public consultation / adversarial process can be unilaterally disclosed to private persons / NGOs in the absence of a pre-disclosed policy which prevents plagiarism / IP theft by NGOs / CSOs / other stakeholders. That this is a serious issue is evident from the CIC decision in "CIC/WB/A/2007/00731/LS dt 17.03.2009" titled "Rajinder Singh versus MoUD" where the CIC held that the MoUD could only disclose my pleadings in a court case available with the MoUD to my co-Petitioner Mr Rajinder Singh once the case was finally decided so as to protect my 3rd party rights. The question of whether such submissions / pleadings in this case can be disclosed during the course of adverserial proceedings is very complex and is also the subject of a pending SLP 30152/2010 in the Supreme Court where I am the 2nd Respondent, and for  which SLP the DoPT has consented to allow the Attorney General of India to represent the CIC against me. The linkage of the impugned decision to section 4 disclosure / repeated non-compliance is clear from page 5 of the following document [http://rti.india.gov.in/cic_decisions/WB-01062009-04.pdf]

G) That notwithstanding the above, I shall certainly submit my own views / experiences on section 4 issues which the Task Force is dealing with and on the expectation that it will be fairly considered

[IAC#RG] Corruption Complaint re MINPA/E/2012/00108

New Delhi 110001

Contact Number:23034734

Dear Madam,

Shri Raj Kumar Vaish of Sitapur UP has complained to this office that substantial bribes have been demanded from him to process his subject Public Grievance lodged through the PGPORTAL and duly registered at MINPA/E/2012/00108.

The said grievance was filed on 10-Dec-2012, action was apparently initiated on 03-Jan-2013 but the grievance is still unresolved as of today. This singular fact is prima facie evidence of Mr. Vaish's contentions

Kindly note that Sh. Vaish's grievance apparently relates to large scale corruption in the Supreme Court of India, as per the complainant.

It is a matter of considerable concern if the said grievance has not been resolved only because some Members of Parliament are demanding to be bribed to consider his case. This is intolerable in a Parliamentary democracy and this matter should have been referred to the Secretary-General long ago for final resolution.

It is further intolerable that public spirited citizens like Shri Raj Kumar Vaish who formally intimate the Chief Justice of India about specific acts of corruption by named judges should be threatened with notices for contempt of court to withdraw the complaint. The grievance of Mr.Vaish is genuine that such public spirited citizens (who are the source of all power in India) should enjoy statutory immunity against vengeful courts standing on their false prestige to protect their fraternity.

yours faithfully

[IAC#RG] Ref to Shri Navnith Krishnan


Dear Shri Navnith Krishnan

Its very nice to hear from you about zulu war. Not even 1 percent know about it. Further more, you have shared about Naval Mutiny post WW II. I guess that there would be people in lakhs only who know about this Naval mutiny in Bombay that happened in 1946 and 700 British army men were killed in 3 hours.

But there are even much lesser people who know the role of V D Savarkar in our independence and even in creating the base of this mutiny that he visualized years ago. He was the one who motivated Hindu Youth in 1937-40 to go into Indian Army so that they could have guns in their hands which were taken away from them after 1857. He clearly said that youth will understand where to point their guns at the right time but they need to have guns in their hands. More than 50000 Hindu youth joined Indian Army bcoz of his initiative. Independence has important role of Subhash as well in it. As Savarkar motivated Subhash as well to build a Hind Army. For this, Savakar gave him the link of Rasbihari Bose in Japan. As there is no media hype, story, news, TV Serial etc. A movie was made recently but it lacked good stars and good music so did not receive much audience. V D Savarkar is the one who has received biggest injustice from Indians themselves as they dont know his contribution. Only those who have read about him or listened from others who know about savarkar, have good knowledge. Pls share if your thoughts on him. I would be delighted to know and share if you are willing to know.

Some writers on Savarkar are in touch with me and they are the most authentic and working with documentary proofs. I am also translating a little book on Savarkar to Hindi. Its his biography in points as most people dont read big books.

I have also initiated an online movement on FB for him and it has reached thousands so far.

Thanks

Jitender khurana

Dear Kalyanam,
Your eulogy of Gandhi made me break my vow not to respond to mails from this portal.
Having fed for decades with larger than oneself stories of Gandhi and Nehru,it is natural for us believe in their divinity.A nearest biography of Gandhi was the one written by Joseph Leyland(Great Soul).Many do not know that Gandhi supported the British in the Zulu war and the hostility of the locals forced him to leave South Africa.British,as shrewd as they are, were scared of Indian violence after their experience of 1857 and looked indulgently at his non-violence while sending other patriots to Andamans and gallows. The first seeds of Hindu-Muslim enemity was sown by Gandhi by bringing religion into the freedom struggle when he teamed up with Ali brothers  in the Khilafat movement,a total communal one.Jinnah was outraged ,resigned from Congress and left for UK.It is another factor that Jinnah came back after a decade due to the arrogance of Nehru,a chamcha of Gandhi.In my opinion these two are responsible for the partition and the subsequent misery and death of millions.The Khilafat agitation in Malabar in Kerala turned into a communal fight.Hundred of thousands Hindus were forcibly converted or killed.It should be noted that Gandhi and Ali brothers visited Malabar hust few months before the agitation.
Gandhi was a shrewd bania rather than a Mahatma.It is fraud to say that we got our freedom due to Gandhi.A post WWII weak Britain,INA pressure which made ther British suspect the loyality of the entire Indian Army,Naval mutiny etc are the ones that made Britain leave India.Ceylon,Burma etc also got their freedom at the same time without a Gandhi.
I write this because you want Gandhi to have a second 'avatar'.His one 'Avatar' itself is enough.He left leaving a nation in blood and turmoil and pushing up his chamcha,an imbecile Nehru as PM against the wishes of the Congress Working Committee.The malaise of corruption, clannishness, favouritism, backwardness etc dogging this nation as well as our problems on Kashmir,Tibet and China can be traced to Nehru's wrong policies.

Re: [IAC#RG] Why is NaMO scared of an independent Lokayukta ?

If one make a study of  various fields where employment potetial exist  I am sure you will find that the avenue of employment provided by corruption is sizable if not highest! Assume corruption is rooted out the unemployment figure would sharply swing more than 50%! Has it not  become a necessary evil? This include middlemen operating independently, most of government employees, those engaged for lobbying, "people's representative", there agents,sub agents, sub sub agents, ...............The government and the system is unable to provide meningful employment to its masses and the people have to find their own avenues which are continually generated and more and more initiated into corruption! As we have seen recently seen the turn over in corruption is much more than any other field of accomplishment! Dealing with government department is made so intricate and complex, un informed   that one visiting the offices for the first time for a purpose is more likely to engasge a "professional" so that he does not have to lose his income by taking off from his job, whatso ever. Iit is probabily the expertize in corrupt practises of the present winners in karnataka  more hard to bare than the defeated ones!

Dear Sumer Agarwal,

Well said.  You are 100% correct.  People have not voted against corruption in K'tak.  All corrupt people have been elected.   Apart from Vir Bhadra Singh in HP(CBI had a clear case of his involvement in a Scam, but was let off, may be at the instance of Sonia and Co. ),  Lalus in Bihar, Mulayams in UP, Mayavathi in UP, Karunas in TN, Reddys in AP, (even though the latter (s) are not in power now,  but, they prop up the Govt. and rein lot of control over the UPA II with their meniscus strength) in the recently concluded K'tak election, the BS Yeddyurapa's KJP and Reddy Brothers proxy BSR Congress party ( B.S. Sriramulu an associate of the  Reddy Mining Barons of Bellary) and BJP's porn addicted MLAs, totally misruled the State and hence, they had no option except to vote to Congress whose track records are no so  better than the above tainted parties  and such climax scenes  they will start to experience for another 5 years. K'tak electorate know who are corrupt. They should have totally rejected them by losing their deposit, if they had really voted against corruption. But the fact is different. The K'tak election is nothing to cheer that they have voted against corruption. In fact, they have elected  only corrupt MLAs again. All the parties have some share in the land scams (Bangalore-Mysore Industrial Corridor) Iron Ore mining etc., etc. It is all  well known that Deve Gowda and his Son Kumaraswamy are also part of the BSY Scam.  SM Krishna is in possession of huge track of Coffee Estates in Chikmagalur, Hassan, Bhadravathi and he is the Franchiser of Coffee Business which earns him 100s Crores every year.  How it is possible without misappropriating rich forest lands ?  There are so many misdeeds each and every Politicians are indulging.  Some  are exposed and some (most)  of them covered up when  they surface here and there and most of Scams don't see the light of the day by connivance of Officials and Politicians. .  Take the case of land grab/scams in Maharashtra. Two years back, after the Adharsh Scam came to light through a Whistle Blower  and  land scams and irrigation scams exposed. by CAG Reports,  What happened ? All are covered up by Sharad Pawer the most corrupt Politician in the country  as he has close links with all these scams.  Apart from these, Scams in the  Food and Agriculture Ministry  on import and export of food grains for which he was the Central Cabinet Minister.  After the Scams surfaced, he clearly divested some portfolios.  By divesting portfolios, can be devoid of these Scams. As per CAG Reports, 1000s of Crores loss to the Exchequer due to import and export of food grains. What action was initiated against him. ?  Nothing so far  He is the King Maker in the UPA II. He hand picks  the CM of M'stra who will be a puppet and amenable to all his misdeeds.  That much control he reins at M'stra.  As Food and Agriculture Minister of the Country, his only concern is how to protect the Sugar Cane Farmers and Sugar Barons at M'stra.( In UP the Sugar Barons are controlled by Mulayam and Co.)  I have not  seen any report of Sharad Pawar  involvement in inter linking of Rivers, reclaiming barren lands, generating irrigation facilities, reduce import of food grains and export of surplus food grains, etc., etc.,  Inter linking of Rivers will accrue   enormous wealth to the Nations's Exchequer  and reduce poverty.  I have not at all  seen his involvement in any of these most important development  priorities in the country, but his only  concern is lobbying for Sugar barons and to become PM.  Already the country is suffering with MMS as PM and added to it, Sharad Pawar also wants to grab more power at Centre.  

The way the Ccoalgate Scam is handled by CBI, it is a open secret now, how the Sonia and Co. would have manipulated the 2 G Scam in the CBI Report to ensure that her involvement, MMS, PC, Pranab, names are not figuring and fix only A.Raja.  How, a single Minister can  indulge such a big Scam without the knowledge of Cabinet and PMO.   Then what for a Cabinet if such an important far reaching policy matters are not discussed in the Cabinet ?  The total functioning of Govt. is farce.  Only a revolution elsewhere happening in the world, will oust all the corrupt Politicians. 

SO, IT IS TOTALLY WRONG TO SAY THAT K'TAK ELECTORATE HAD  REJECTED THE CORRUPT.  IT IS ONLY AN ILLUSION. IN FACT, K'TAK ELECTED VOTED ONLY FOR CORRUPT POLITICIANS. 

UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, IAC SHOULD DECIDE HOW TO GO ABOUT TO ROOT OUT CORRUPTION  IN SUCH A SITUATION WHEN THE ELECTORATE ITSELF VOTE FOR CORRUPT.

Has the public ever voted against corruption. If they did Vir Bhadra Singh who had to resign from Centre won in Himachal.Congress  ministers are facing corruption charges at the centre and getting support of regional parties through CBI.If the CBI becomes independent and pursues cases fairly and without prejudice, then people like Lalu will be behind bars and not supporting the Congress party.

Narendra Modi govt gets bill that dilutes powers of Lokayukta passed

Edited by Abhinav Bhatt | Updated: April 02, 2013 18:54 IST
The Gujarat Assembly today passed a bill introduced by the Narendra Modi government that attempts to overhaul the process of appointing the Lokayukta, virtually giving the full control to the state. As the government pushed through the bill, the opposition, Congress, staged a walkout.

According to the bill, the Lokayukta will have to seek the government's permission before acting on a complaint. Also, the Lokayukta's report will not be binding on the state government.

If a complaint is found to be frivolous, the complainant will have to deposit Rs. 2000 to Rs. 25,000 as fine and may serve six months in jail, according to the bill.

It also says that the selection panel for the Lokayukta would include the chief minister, the assembly speaker, a minister and the leader of the opposition; thus, eliminating the role of the Governor and Chief justice of the Gujarat High Court from the appointment process.

Arjun Modhwadia, president of the Gujarat Congress says, "The government wants to create a model, which aims at promoting corruption. It doesn't want any interference from the Supreme Court or High Court."

Mr Modi has been at loggerheads with Gujarat Governor Kamala Beniwal over the appointment of Justice RA Mehta as the Gujarat Lokayuta in August 2011. Mr Modi's government had challenged Justice Mehta's appointment in the Gujarat High Court, terming it illegal and accusing the Governor of not consulting the government.

In January 2012, the Gujarat High Court upheld the Lokayukta's appointment and slammed Mr Modi, saying, "The Chief Minister acted under a false impression that he could turn down the superiority and primacy of the opinion of the Chief Justice, which was binding. The spiteful and challenging action demonstrates the false sense of invincibility."

Mr Modi's government had challenged the order in the Supreme Court, which too upheld the verdict, saying Justice Mehta's appointment was legal.

   DR.  MANMOHAN SINGH SHOULD SERVE (SAVE) INDIA BY RETIRING

 

Millions of Indians  think that  it is now the time  for Dr. Manmohan Singh  to retire.

Dr. Manmohan Singh  is guilty of facilitating corruption and nepotism in the country  by his inept leadership.  Some people are corrupt for amassing money  and some people do not mind  tolerating corruption for holding on to the position.  Both the category should be considered as equally corrupt.

Even now, Dr. Manmohan Singh can win back some friends and admirers and find a better place for himself in history, by owning responsibility for the deplorable  corrupt conditions in the country and moving away.   On the other hand, if he would think that holding on to power and position and remaining loyal to his party president   at any cost , should be the be all  and end all of his life, then , the entire good image that he gained in the past would be wiped out in one stroke.   Future generation would judge him very poorly.

Will he listen to the voice of the country ?

Well said.  You are 100% correct.  People have not voted against corruption in K'tak.  All corrupt people have been elected.   Apart from Vir Bhadra Singh in HP(CBI had a clear case of his involvement in a Scam, but was let off, may be at the instance of Sonia and Co. ),  Lalus in Bihar, Mulayams in UP, Mayavathi in UP, Karunas in TN, Reddys in AP, (even though the latter (s) are not in power now,  but, they prop up the Govt. and rein lot of control over the UPA II with their meniscus strength) in the recently concluded K'tak election, the BS Yeddyurapa's KJP and Reddy Brothers proxy BSR Congress party ( B.S. Sriramulu an associate of the  Reddy Mining Barons of Bellary) and BJP's porn addicted MLAs, totally misruled the State and hence, they had no option except to vote to Congress whose track records are no so  better than the above tainted parties  and such climax scenes  they will start to experience for another 5 years. K'tak electorate know who are corrupt. They should have totally rejected them by losing their deposit, if they had really voted against corruption. But the fact is different. The K'tak election is nothing to cheer that they have voted against corruption. In fact, they have elected  only corrupt MLAs again. All the parties have some share in the land scams (Bangalore-Mysore Industrial Corridor) Iron Ore mining etc., etc. It is all  well known that Deve Gowda and his Son Kumaraswamy are also part of the BSY Scam.  SM Krishna is in possession of huge track of Coffee Estates in Chikmagalur, Hassan, Bhadravathi and he is the Franchiser of Coffee Business which earns him 100s Crores every year.  How it is possible without misappropriating rich forest lands ?  There are so many misdeeds each and every Politicians are indulging.  Some  are exposed and some (most)  of them covered up when  they surface here and there and most of Scams don't see the light of the day by connivance of Officials and Politicians. .  Take the case of land grab/scams in Maharashtra. Two years back, after the Adharsh Scam came to light through a Whistle Blower  and  land scams and irrigation scams exposed. by CAG Reports,  What happened ? All are covered up by Sharad Pawer the most corrupt Politician in the country  as he has close links with all these scams.  Apart from these, Scams in the  Food and Agriculture Ministry  on import and export of food grains for which he was the Central Cabinet Minister.  After the Scams surfaced, he clearly divested some portfolios.  By divesting portfolios, can be devoid of these Scams. As per CAG Reports, 1000s of Crores loss to the Exchequer due to import and export of food grains. What action was initiated against him. ?  Nothing so far  He is the King Maker in the UPA II. He hand picks  the CM of M'stra who will be a puppet and amenable to all his misdeeds.  That much control he reins at M'stra.  As Food and Agriculture Minister of the Country, his only concern is how to protect the Sugar Cane Farmers and Sugar Barons at M'stra.( In UP the Sugar Barons are controlled by Mulayam and Co.)  I have not  seen any report of Sharad Pawar  involvement in inter linking of Rivers, reclaiming barren lands, generating irrigation facilities, reduce import of food grains and export of surplus food grains, etc., etc.,  Inter linking of Rivers will accrue   enormous wealth to the Nations's Exchequer  and reduce poverty.  I have not at all  seen his involvement in any of these most important development  priorities in the country, but his only  concern is lobbying for Sugar barons and to become PM.  Already the country is suffering with MMS as PM and added to it, Sharad Pawar also wants to grab more power at Centre.  

The way the Ccoalgate Scam is handled by CBI, it is a open secret now, how the Sonia and Co. would have manipulated the 2 G Scam in the CBI Report to ensure that her involvement, MMS, PC, Pranab, names are not figuring and fix only A.Raja.  How, a single Minister can  indulge such a big Scam without the knowledge of Cabinet and PMO.   Then what for a Cabinet if such an important far reaching policy matters are not discussed in the Cabinet ?  The total functioning of Govt. is farce.  Only a revolution elsewhere happening in the world, will oust all the corrupt Politicians. 

SO, IT IS TOTALLY WRONG TO SAY THAT K'TAK ELECTORATE HAD  REJECTED THE CORRUPT.  IT IS ONLY AN ILLUSION. IN FACT, K'TAK ELECTED VOTED ONLY FOR CORRUPT POLITICIANS. 

UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, IAC SHOULD DECIDE HOW TO GO ABOUT TO ROOT OUT CORRUPTION  IN SUCH A SITUATION WHEN THE ELECTORATE ITSELF VOTE FOR CORRUPT.   

With Best Regards,
A.S.KALYANAM

Has the public ever voted against corruption. If they did Vir Bhadra Singh who had to resign from Centre won in Himachal.Congress  ministers are facing corruption charges at the centre and getting support of regional parties through CBI.If the CBI becomes independent and pursues cases fairly and without prejudice, then people like Lalu will be behind bars and not supporting the Congress party.

Dear Vidyut,

You need not worry what NaMo does. Any sensible person will understand what Congress does to the nation and has been doing to nation since pre/post independence.
My advise, better to keep quiet or quit India(all the treacherous people of Congress and for God sake save India).

Don't try to influence the people with false propaganda.

I don't think he has a choice. There are several concerning exposes on corruption already. The CAG report was scathing about the ill management of loans. A Lokayukta in itself is not a problem, but if you have issues which are too large to PR away or have no sane defense?

Narendra Modi govt gets bill that dilutes powers of Lokayukta passed

Edited by Abhinav Bhatt | Updated: April 02, 2013 18:54 IST
The Gujarat Assembly today passed a bill introduced by the Narendra Modi government that attempts to overhaul the process of appointing the Lokayukta, virtually giving the full control to the state. As the government pushed through the bill, the opposition, Congress, staged a walkout.

According to the bill, the Lokayukta will have to seek the government's permission before acting on a complaint. Also, the Lokayukta's report will not be binding on the state government.

If a complaint is found to be frivolous, the complainant will have to deposit Rs. 2000 to Rs. 25,000 as fine and may serve six months in jail, according to the bill.

It also says that the selection panel for the Lokayukta would include the chief minister, the assembly speaker, a minister and the leader of the opposition; thus, eliminating the role of the Governor and Chief justice of the Gujarat High Court from the appointment process.

Arjun Modhwadia, president of the Gujarat Congress says, "The government wants to create a model, which aims at promoting corruption. It doesn't want any interference from the Supreme Court or High Court."

Mr Modi has been at loggerheads with Gujarat Governor Kamala Beniwal over the appointment of Justice RA Mehta as the Gujarat Lokayuta in August 2011. Mr Modi's government had challenged Justice Mehta's appointment in the Gujarat High Court, terming it illegal and accusing the Governor of not consulting the government.

In January 2012, the Gujarat High Court upheld the Lokayukta's appointment and slammed Mr Modi, saying, "The Chief Minister acted under a false impression that he could turn down the superiority and primacy of the opinion of the Chief Justice, which was binding. The spiteful and challenging action demonstrates the false sense of invincibility."

Mr Modi's government had challenged the order in the Supreme Court, which too upheld the verdict, saying Justice Mehta's appointment was legal.
