Election Commission really autonomous: Admits electoral bonds against transparency

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Election Commission of India has risen to the occasion by opposing at Supreme Court, the decision of central government to introduce electoral bonds for funding of political parties where names of contributors are hidden. These bonds have become source of undisclosed funding to ruling party getting 95-percent of total funding done through electoral bonds in the year 2017-18. It is evident any ruling party will be getting major share of such opaque contribution because of contributors getting favours from the ruling party by themselves remaining anonymous. Contributions made to political parties should be perfectly transparent and cashless. Electoral bonds must carry names of contributors to prevent these as indirect and legalised bribing to ruling party. With central government motiv...

CORPORATES SHOULD ADOPT COLONIES OF HINDU REFUGEES FROM PAKISTAN IN COLLABORATION WITH CENTRAL AND DELHI GOVERNMENTS

It refers to media-reports about miserable living conditions of Hindu refugees from Pakistan now settled in Delhi like in colonies near Majnu-ka-Teela and Adarsh Nagar. Union Minister of External Affairs has recently taken up matter of forcible conversion and marriage of Hindu girls in Pakistan. It is but natural that Hindu refugees from Pakistan did not leave their homes in Pakistan willingly, rather they had to do so under compulsion. Corporates including from public-sector have to compulsorily spend two-percent of their income on social-welfare. Central government should issue a press-release whereby it may be made clear that spending on welfare and living of Hindu refugees from Pakistan will be allowed under CSR. If private corporates do not come forward to spend CSR funds on the...

Newspaper-advertisements have appeared wherein a leading multinational brand has come out with original ink-cartridges for its laser-printers available at just rupees 846 MRP with average print-cost for a paper-sheet just 33 paise using original cartridge. But the largest-selling multi-national company of computer-printers in Indian market Hewlett-Packard HP has still Maximum-Retail-Price printed on ink-cartridges exorbitantly high even though its original cartridges available in wholesale markets of Nehru place and Nai Sarak in Delhi at much-much less than printed MRP. Even wholesale price for its ink-cartridges of laser-printers remains much higher around rupees 3000 making some Indian manufacturers marketing re-filled cartridges at around rupees 700 or so. Even re-fill can be done at...

Make people work hard rather than making them beggars dependent on freebies Congress President has come with big pre-poll announcement to give rupees 72000 per annum to five crore families covering about 25 crores population in case his party comes in power. Poll-promise is gimmick in itself because Congress President has said that the scheme is planned to be introduced in phased manner without any elaboration of the term phased-manner. India would have been a developed nation if such allegedly pro-poor gimmick schemes would not have been allowed distributing free items or providing money without or nominal work just on paper like MNERAGA. Useless subsidies have tend to eaten up Indian economy like termites where most such subsidies in name of poor are misused by affording ones like ...
Disciplining JNU students necessary: Norms be revised for appointing teachers

Disciplining JNU students necessary: Norms be revised for appointing teachers

It refers to ever-controversial Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) at Delhi once again in news on 25.03.2019 with several students entering house of Vice Chancellor where his wife lonely in the home had to be hospitalized because of mental trauma caused by forced entry of agitating students. Earlier also such an unhumanitarian act on 15.02.2018 made certain officials of the University sick being required to be even hospitalized. Demand of students against enforcing rules is ingenuine. Universities should be for education and not for playing politics. Central government should evolve permanent solution to make JNU an ideal institution for education rather becoming a hub for political activities many of which are at times even against national and public interest. Procedure for admission o...
CJI should summon a conference of judges of higher courts to discuss liberal culture of ex-party stay-orders and frequent adjournments in court-cases

Biggest weakness of our justice-delivery-system is liberal ex-party stay-orders followed by frequent adjournments in courts which the main and foremost reason of ever-increasing huge pendency of cases in courts resulting in justifying the proverb Justice-Delayed-Is-Justice Denied. This is despite the fact that several Division Benches of Supreme Court have including the one comprising of Justices RV Ravindran and JM Panchal in January 2009 observed and rightly too of the bitter reality that at times those having taken ex-party stay-orders seeking frequent adjournments ultimately lose the cases. Even the then Vice President Hamid Ansari once also desired liberal adjournments in courts need to be taken seriously by the judiciary for reforms within.Supreme Court also in the case Shiv Cotex...
IOC advertisement of 10-percent payback on petrol through digital payment

IOC advertisement of 10-percent payback on petrol through digital payment

Presently TV-advertisements by Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) are in plenty about 10-percent pay-back on purchase of petrol-diesel through digital mode of payment. Central government had earlier started .75-percent pay-back if petrol and diesel are purchased through credit or debit cards from every petrol-pump of any public-sector oil-company to encourage cashless payments after demonetisation of old currency notes of rupees 500 and 1000 on 08.11.2016. It is beyond understanding why and how IOC alone can provide 10-percent pay-back rather than .75-percent by other oil-companies. Now with people already adopting card-payments at petrol-pumps, incentive for cashless payments at petrol-pumps should be totally withdrawn. Or else it should be same for all public-sector oil-companies rather tha...

2014 के लोकसभा चुनाव को याद कीजिए। ’’मैं आया नहीं हूं। मां गंगा ने बुलाया है।’’ मोदी जी का यह वाक्य याद कीजिए। कहना न होगा कि गंगा के सहारे चुनावी नौका पार करना, 2014 के प्रधानमंत्री पद के दावेदार श्री मोदी का एजेण्डा था। 2019 में अब यह राहुल गांधी को प्रधानमंत्री बनाने की अपील करने वाली प्रियंका गांधी का एजेण्डा है। प्रियंका ने लोगों को लिखे खुले खत में कहा है, ’’गंगाजी उत्तर प्रदेश का सहारा है और मैं भी गंगा जी के सहारे हूं।’’ मोदी जी ने पांच साल तक गंगा के हितों की जमकर अनदेखी की। गंगा की अविरलता-निर्मलता के अनशन करते हुए स्वामी सानंद की मौत हो गई। कुछ पता नहीं कि संत गोपालदास कहां और कैसे लापता हो गए ? स्वामी आत्मबोधानन्द, आज भी संघर्ष कर रहे हैं। मातृ सदन के स्वामी शिवानंद सरस्वती जी अपेक्षा कर रहे हैं कि गंगा संबंधी मांगों पर निर्णस करे। निर्णय करना तो दूर, मोदी जी ने इनसे बात करना ...

आपको लगता है कि ममता बनर्जी के शासन संभालने के बाद बंगाल में वामपंथी शासन समाप्त हो गया था? यही बात अखिलेश शासन काल के लिये सोच कर देखिये, क्या वह एक लोकतांत्रिक दल होने के नाते समाजवादी विचारधारा पर काम कर रहा था? यही बात मध्य प्रदेश और राजस्थान की नई सरकार के बारे में विचार कर के देखें, क्या वो गांधी जी या शास्त्री जी वाली कांग्रेस की किसी भी विचारधारा से मेल खाते हुए शासन कर रहे हैं? कर्नाटक सरकार का शासन लोकतांत्रिक मूल्यों का सम्मान करते हुए शासन चला रहा है?  इन सब पर विचार करें तो यही आभास होता है कि लोकतांत्रिक दल होने के बाद भी इनकी कार्यशैली में वामपंथ ने तेजी से पैर पसार लिये हैं। लोकतंत्र का विलाप करने वाले अक्सर ‘जनता का, जनता के लिये, जनता के द्वारा’ का नारा लगाते हैं, क्या पश्चिम बंगाल, कर्नाटक, राजस्थान, मध्यप्रदेश की सत्ता के निर्णयों में इस सद्वाक्य का कोई भी आभास लगता ...

सत्तर साल से गरीबी एवं गरीबों को मजबूत करने वाली पार्टी कांग्रेस के अध्यक्ष राहुल गांधी ने दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी न्यूनतम आय गारंटी योजना से गरीबों के हित की बात करके देश की गरीबी का भद्दा मजाक उडाया है। इस चुनावी घोषणा एवं आश्वासन का चुनाव परिणामों पर क्या असर पड़ेगा, यह भविष्य के गर्भ में है, लेकिन इस घोषणा ने आर्थिक विशेषज्ञों एवं नीति आयोग की नींद उड़ा दी है। इस योजना को बीजेपी सरकार द्वारा किसानों को सालाना 6000 रुपए देने की घोषणा का जवाब माना जा रहा है। कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष राहुल गांधी के अनुसार, अगर उनकी सरकार सत्ता में आई तो सबसे गरीब 20 प्रतिशत परिवारों को हर साल 72,000 रुपए दिए जाएंगे। इस सहायता राशि को सीधे गरीबों के खातों में हस्तांतरित किया जाएगा और 5 करोड़ परिवार अथवा करीब 25 करोड़ लोग इससे लाभान्वित होंगे। क्या यह घोषणा सीधे तौर पर पच्चीस करोड़ गरीबों के वोट को हथियाने का षडयंत्र है? रा...
