Arbitrary posting and whimsical transfers
Our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is clean and he wants to portray Madhu Koda as clean despite Rs4000 crore fraud. This is why person like Ujjal Choudhury is transferred suddenly and abnormally from Ranchi to Patna office of Income Tax Department to stop the exposure of politicians involved in Madhu Koda scam.
President Pratibha has got hidden pratibha but she is puppet of UPA government. She is deaf, dumb and blind as if three disciples of Mahatma Gandhi made into one. She cannot utter her protest on whimsical transfer of Mr. Ujjal Choudhury who has been making sincere efforts and who is real instrumental in exposure of Madhu Koda scam. This is called flattery culture imbibed in the blood of Indians. This is Indian brand of providing protection to corrupt officers and politicians. Who will bell the cat?
All investigating Agencies, Inquiry Authorities, credit rating agencies, judiciary, police and armed forces should be allowed to do their job independently and without interference of any media or politician. If however there is doubt on the integrity of any person or there is any suspicious action there is a provision for moving in courts without making it a political issue.
If Education and judiciary are honest, effective and quality oriented there is no doubt that India will be number one. But our Politicians who talk of GDP and dream in GDP data cannot imagine of transformation in either education or judiciary

Pune terror attack
India is a vast country and Indian security forces or police cannot provide security to all people in each corner of the country. This is a bitter truth, which every Indian must admit. We are fortunate enough that terrorists are active and conducting terror attacks in metros and big towns only. If they start targetting small towns, cities and village for target attack, I apprehend India’s security arrangement will get punctured and prove to be hollow, absolutely incompetent and inadequate to deal with highly equipped, trained and funded terrorists.
I feel however proud that person like Mr. P Chidambaram has been in charge of Home Ministry and he has left no stone unturned to have best control and best use of available police and armed forces, to monitor and coordinate various intelligence agencies and to have best possible liasoning with most of the concerned department to achieve best possible result in available resources, at least far better than his immediate predecessor Mr. Shiv Raj Patil. It is his sincere efforts that during last 400 days no terror attack took place and many probable attacks were thwarted and culprits were booked in jail.
In the present case of Pune blast also, home ministry had alerted all well in advance about probable terror attack. Police forces as also people of these towns were cautioned to be alert of terrorists and unidentified bags. But home ministry or the police forces cannot follow those terrorists 24 hours 365 days. . Terrorists on the other hand are behind their target 24 hours and 365 days. This mismatch gives terrorist an opportunity to befool public as well as police. If people of India, politicians and media all cooperate, I hope India will be safer. Government needs to send a clear signal to criminals that there will be no sympathy for those who commit crime and violate laws of the Nation, irrespective of their caste or community and needs to ensure quickest punishment to crime perpetuators, even if it needs to jail Thakre like person or Indian Muzahiddin (IM) needs to be banned and its members need to be booked to task.
We therefore need a fool proof system which can take care of common men at all places every minute, every time. Police forces and the ruling party succeeded in release of MNIK in Mumbai and in the state of Maharashtra only because it was a few days phenomenon and one time event. Police forces were sent in civil dresses in all cinema halls to control the situation successfully. Similarly Indian government has to ensure that fifty percent of police forces are posted in civil dresses and made active in all corners of the country to guard common men to watch on the malicious activities of terror groups or naxal groups. This is possible only when entire political system and administrative machinery is redefined, reactivated, revitalized and rejuvenated. And the most important is that politicians are kept completely away from police forces. This is possible only when politicians discard vote bank politics and give value to security of Indians on priority.
However this is also true that police force in our country do not work sincerely and honestly at all the places and in all the states in the country. Reason behind inactiveness of police force is also nothing but wrong policies and wrong treatment of police force in the hands of politicians. When they act some party or the other abuses them, when they do not act they are abused by some politician or the other. It is therefore easy and comfortable for police personnel to do what politicians or ministers in person like them to do. It means police forces in general think it wise, prudent and better to flatter VIP and powerful person to get cream posting, easy promotions in career and get rid of all charges leveled against them by common men. We need to change this culture prevailing in almost all government offices, banks and insurance companies.
Unfortunately in our country those who act honestly and sincerely are more often than not shunted out and placed at such a critical place that honestly becomes a curse for its followers instead of an award. Even distributing of various medals or awards for successful completion of any task or any courageous action in police forces are based on either flattery to bosses or recommendations of some higher authority or some political heavyweights. Prestigious award like Padma Bhusan, Padam Shree, or Padam Bibhusan are awarded to controversial figures. This is very much painful.
Indians know how sincere IPS officer like various governments in her career treated Kiran Bedi when she was in job. People know how person like DGP Mr.Rathore got one after other promotions and better posting even after his involvement in Ruchika’s case. In the past few days IAS officers have been found to be indulged in large scale corruption and property worth many crores of rupees have been caught by IT authorities. Morality of top officers has faced dangerous erosion in the hand of politicians of the country.
Obviously entire set of administration has become victim of corruption and selfish policies of politicians. It is ironical that politicians who are originator of all corruption always blame administration for rampant corruption. This mutual blame game continues and common men become victim in all the cases of security lapses and it is painful that in this mutual mud slinging process, criminals get rid of charges, or court proceedings are delayed and ultimately criminals get rid of punishment for their crime. As a consequence crime graph in our country is rising unabated.
To add fuel to fire, criminals are getting support of various political parties to enter in to Parliament and take part in debate and stop legislative or executive action against criminals. It is undeniably true for Indian political system that politicians and criminal are two sides of the same coin and police forces are instrumental to them, subsidiary to them and nothing but extended arm of our bad political and administrative system .We therefore need thorough change in the system from top to bottom level.
It is also regrettable that even media instead of focusing main problem, concentrating on terror attack and searching its possible remedy start searching loopholes in the speeches of ministers, police authorities and change the agenda of the country from security mechanism to dirty political game. Media portrays the picture of terror attack in a way, which is not conducive for proper and appropriate investigation of the terror attack. Even intelligence inputs are broadcasted and elaborately enlightened on TV in such a way which help more to terrorists in changing their target and strategy, rather than helping police and people of the country to effectively trap the terrorists before they act upon their conspiracy to destabilize the country. Enemy foreign countries take advantage of our weak points and always succeed in execution of their dirty, destructive and divisive plans to weaken India. Undoubtedly media needs to be made accountable and responsible towards sensitive issues like terror linked in formations and post terror attack investigation procedures.

Chairman and Managing Director Bank
• Why officers and employees are not transferred out from the Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai etc. and on the contrary employees of states like Orrisa, Bihar, and Jharkhand are frequently transferred out of their states even violating transfer policies?
• Why some officers are always given rural posting whereas some other officers are even promoted without rural posting violating government guidelines in this regard?
• Why some officers are allowed to work in their Metro towns for decades whereas officers of other small towns and villages are to change their place of working every year or alternate year without any incentive or compensation?
• Is there no punishment for those executives who indulge in corrupt practices and resort to whimsical transfers to keep away all employees who may prove hurdle in their money making process?

MLA & MP should not do business
Do you think commercial dealings of MPs and MLAs be disclosed? Rajya Sabha has reliably rejected an RTI application for the same.
In fact in my opinion commercial activity should not be allowed to be undertaken by any MLA and MP, or any person who is holding responsible post of the country. If government is reluctant to abide with this moral necessity, at least all MLAs and MPs must be forced to disclose their business activities. There is no doubt that the business activity must be disclosed and this information under RTI must be shared with public.
An officer working in government department is supposed not to involve himself in any business activity and to declare even all purchases made by him every financial year when the purchase cost of the article is more than Rs.5000/. There is conduct rule for all officers working in any government department, bank or insurance companies. Similarly there must be some conduct rule for MLAs and MPs who holds the key of the country and who have been invested with such huge power that they have the capacity to make or mar the country. Obviously power must be accompanied with sense of accountability.
It is however open secret that most of business activities undertaken by elected representatives like Ministers are in the name of their kith and kin or friends and relatives. There is no doubt to me that most of the ministers are engaged in business activities and hence there is none to stop them or force them to disclose the same or unearth the true story. It is known to all that all officers are required to submit annual statement of assets and liability every year without fail by the end of May to be eligible for annual increment or promotion. But there is no such forceful application of rule on MLA and MPs.
However it is only media who can unearth the real story of all MLAs and MPs and portray the real picture on TV and newspapers. But media will take notice of the same when either they are paid or pressurized by opponents of any VIP or any media man have personal animosity with any VIP of the country.

Police verifaction should be necessary for MLA & MP
When a person with criminal or police record is disqualified for government service, should a politician with such a record and after winning an election be permitted to head a government?
There is no justification in allowing criminals or even a person (who is accused of serious crime or with police record) entry into assembly or parliament when even a simple clerk cannot be recruited in such cases. Even for simple post in government departments or banks police verification is necessary but unfortunately police examination report is also overlooked in case of VIPs and political leaders.
But unfortunately in our country even terrorist Kasab who was seen, viewed, telecasted, video recorded by many, as committing crime of terror attack is not being treated as criminal as long as case is going on against him in various courts. Kasab who had admitted his crime has also backtracked after knowing the truth of Indian judiciary and Indian government. In our country I aprehand even Kasab can contest an election and become minister if elected as long as he is punished by court of law.
In the same way, our political leaders plead of being innocent even if they are facing numerous serious charges in several cases lodged in various courts. As long as courts do not punish him or her, he or she can contest an election and become MLA or MP but also Minister, CM of a state or even PM of the country. It is India where government takes 25 years to grant permission to CBI to initiate action against Mr. Sajjan Kumar, Congress MP involved in Anti Sikh Riot of 1984.It is India where after 20 years sad story of Ruchika and her family is exposed and then action is initiated against the sinner Mr. Rathore Ex-DGP. In is India where
Political leaders and VIP of this country like Madhu Koda or Lalu Yadav EX-CM or DGP Rathore know the truth of Indian system of administration and judiciary and they know the trick to mend the system as per they desire and this is why their cases are not decided even in two or three decades. Politicians and VIPs of our country take advantage of corrupt system and exploit innocent common men.

Ruchika case , an eye opener
Ruchika lost her life, her family suffered for years. Real culprit Mr. Rathore got one after other promotions and better posting and eventually retired. There are numerous such instances which are unnoticed but the victims have been suffering for several years. It is really a fun that all human right bodies, woman organization and media remained silent for last 19 years in case of Ruchika till court delivered judgement.It should not be surprising that in a day or two all hue and cry will subside and the aggrieved families will continue to be tortured like Ruchika’s family person.
When most of the Ministers, MPs and MLAs at state level are corrupt how can they inculcate good practices among IAS officers, IPS officers, judges, other functional heads and subordinate staffs?
When person like Madhu Koda or Lalu Yadav or Mayawati or Om Prakash Chautala or Bhajan Lal become head of a state, corrupt officers will get powerful and cream posting and continue to be awarded with quickest promotions whereas on the contrary good and honest officers working in the administration will be shunted away, deprived of promotion and placed at non-effective dormant posts. One can imagine the fate of the state in such position when the head is the most corrupt.
Since the Chief Minister of Harayana Mr. Bansi Lal or Mr. Chautala or Mr. Bhajan Lal was corrupt they went on patronizing and promoting corrupt person like Mr. Rathore. Such heavy weights in politics and in administration do not face any problem in managing even judiciary and police departments. When the person is powerful and corrupt, he can manage even court of law and this is why court could deliver judgment in almost 20 years. Even the unavoidable punishment is ensured to be bare minimum i.e. six month imprisonment and that too bailable.It is not astonishing in the prevailing corrupt system that the culprit got the bail and now moving freely in the market with laughing face whereas the victim’s family is moving from pillar to post for getting justice. Obviously it is not Mr.Rathore or Mr. Chautala who are alone responsible for such sorry state of affairs, there are many more behind the scene who worked as catalyst in not only materializing the ugly motive of Mr. Rathore but also keeping him in stream .
It cannot be denied that when the top in any office or in the government is weak and corrupt, the bottom-line is bound to be corrupt, inefficient and dishonest. It is not only Ruchika but there are millions of people who have been tortured by Indian corrupt system. Every day and everywhere such type of exploitations and torturing are taking place. Media take cognizance of one or two cases and then they too go for hibernation.
Old proverb “survival for the fittest” no more holds good. Now a day’s survival is possible only for the person who is well versed in flattery to bosses, to high command in the party and who can earn money through ill methods and shares the same with his bosses. As such it is not astonishing that corrupt persons are placed at top posts in almost all offices.
Whimsical promotion, whimsical transfer and posting are the root cause of all types of irregularities, deficiencies, corruption, exploitations, injustices, delayed justice, denial of promotion, and mal-administration in the family, in the society and in the country as a whole. Whenever a new departmental head joins his duty or a new Chief Minister takes charge of the state, or a new government comes to power at the center, chain of whimsical transfers takes place causing unwarranted annoyance among talented and good workers. Whimsical promotions to flatterer juniors superseding senior good workers are very common in our country.
As long as we are unable to provide a reasoning based transfer and merit based promotion and as long as the wrong doers are not punished by courts in the country in the quickest timeframe we cannot imagine of stopping corrupt practices prevailing and spreading like cancer in the society.
.
I have been advocating abolishing Interview panel in all promotion processes and eliminate all avenues which give scope for whimsical decisions in all departments and in all organizations because Interview is such a test where Interviewers can easily spoil the candidate’s career. Similarly delegated power of transfer invested in top post should be diluted and well defined because it is the power which more often than not, gives rise to corrupt practices, demotivates good workers and promotes bad culture in the system.. Key role is played by elements like bribe, gift, sources, godfathers, and flattery possessed by employee in transfers and posting or during interview,
Last but not the least; our courts cannot deliver justice in decades. This eliminates the fear from the minds of culprits and the aggrieved person is constrained to bear with the tortures thrown upon him or her by the system in systemic manner. . Justice delayed is justice denied. And when there is no hope of justice even from court, aggrieved person is left with no alternative other than digesting the poison of injustice.
If anyone is seriously interest to avoid recurrence of story like Ruchita’s story, one should leave no stone unturned to strike at the root cause behind such sad story. It is very much essential to punish all those who were involved directly or indirectly in supporting ill – motives of Mr. Rathore. Necessary police reformation, judicial reformation, administrative reformations have to be carried out in the shortest period and political intervention in these spheres has to be completely stopped to achieve a long lasting and sustainable solution to shortcomings and deficiencies of the system..
In fact India has plenty of laws and India lacks only person who can boldly enforce the existing laws to punish the real culprit and save the innocent. Those who are talking of framing new laws and new rules or amending the constitution are making simply Bakwas and they in fact do not want to do anything, rather inclined to support the culprit.
To prove the effectiveness of the government, it must take immediate steps and respond spontaneously at least after the happening of an ugly incident and decision of the court. In case of Ruchika, all including political leaders and chief ministers should be punished who directly or indirectly supported the corrupt person like Rathore to go up the ladder in his career, who diluted the police case or court cases against Rathore either by false witnessing or wrong recommendation either in writing or by building pressure through phone or musclemen , who took unjustified and unwarranted action against Ruchika, who intimidated Ruchika and her family, who contributed in created an environment which forced Ruchika to commit suicide or those who killed her and all those who tortured brother of Ruchika by framing false charges. Mere stripping of police medal or stopping of pension is not enough to punish person like Rathore .It is more important to see whether the government is able to punish those person also who supported Mr. Rathore in carrying out his ill motive. and to punish who indirectly colluded with him.
At least 100 persons should be punished, suspended or dismissed or jailed or booked to task to create a fear in the minds of all who perpetuate and promote wrong culture in the public life. The case of Ruchika should sound alarm bell for all culprits and the clear cut message should be visible and understandable that government is serious to maintain good governance.

Mere stripping of police medal or stopping of pension is not enough to punish person like Rathore .It is more important to see whether the government is able to punish those person also who supported Mr. Rathore in carrying out his ill motive. and to punish who indirectly colluded with him.
At least 100 persons should be punished, suspended or dismissed or jailed or booked to task to create a fear in the minds of all who perpetuate and promote wrong culture in the public life. The case of Ruchika should sound alarm bell for all culprits and the clear cut message should be visible and understandable that government is serious to maintain good governance.

Poverty Removal
Report published in popular Newspaper on poverty status of the country has not defined the present level of poverty line based on which it has been concluded that about 37% of Indian population lives under poverty line but it definitely exposes the true story of all development expenses done by Central and state government during last 60 years. In the name of poverty alleviation various governments have spent billions and billions of rupees every year but the result is that actual number and actual percentage of persons living below poverty line in India in general has been moving up and up. Poor people are growing poorer and their pain has been increasing year after year.
Government all the time talks of GDP growth and tells with pride that India will lead the world. This story will also open the eye of such VIPs, politicians, social reformers, administrators and economists who talk of social inclusion but fail to do any thing in this regard.
Prices of all commodities have been moving up every day and the position of majority of Indians have been becoming alarming day by day due to erosion in their purchasing capacity day by day. Our Government talks of merger of banks, reservation for minorities, increasing the domain of OBC for some caste or the other but do not try to understand whether so called GDP growth is really benefiting poor people or confined to a few percentage of rich persons.
Our beloved Finance Minster do not try the understand the gravity of increasing pain of more than 90% of Indian population due to unprecedented price rise forgets to take care of poor and people living below poverty line and the increasing pain of such poor people. He has to understand that every talk of GDP growth is farce until it reaches in the hands of real poor.
