It refers to much talked-about TV interview of Prime Minister Narender Modi with film-star Akshay Kumar which though being non-political yet gave a big political signal in case of need where Prime Minister was in full praise for West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee for personal cordial relations between them to the extent that Mamta Banerjee still now regularly sends Bengali kurtas and sweets to Narender Modi. Otherwise political bitterness between the two is evident from their speeches in rallies for poll-campaigns. Unfortunately such artificial public-exhibition of political bitterness tends to create personal bitterness between supporters and cadres of politically rival politicians. Time has come to induce a touch of cordiality in poll-campaigns and in Parliament between politic...

 India should issue series of postage stamps on selfless Jain monks and coin on Mahavir Swamy It is indeed a matter of pride that Jain community is honoured by USA through naming a street in Chicago as Mahavir Marg. Jains are basically in India with the community being the highest contributor of tax per individual. Unfortunately this community has minimum growth-rate after Parsis where share of Jains in population has declined to 0.37 percent in 2011-census as compared to 0.40 percent in 2001-census with fertility rate of just 1.2 against replacement rate of 2.1. This vegetarian community is the flag-bearer of nicest ancient Indian traditions in terms of religion, talent and tax-contributor. Selfless society has in recent past has witnessed many ultra-talented youth and rich families le...

Department of Personnel and Training DoPT fixed a fees of rupees 4000 for lectures in conducting workshops for government-staff on various aspects including on handling applications filed under Right-To-Information Act. Surprisingly there is no provision of adding Goods and service Tax GST which is presently 18-percent on this amount fixed long back thus practically further reducing the fees to just rupees 3390 for those coming under GST network. DoPT should not only upgrade the fees reasonably, but also direct all departments, ministries and others to compulsorily add GST to newly fixed amount for those coming under GST network. Many departments and ministries spend exorbitantly to hire taxis for pick-up and dropping the persons delivering lectures, where these taxis are paid for ru...

Female staff must not be posted at residences of judges of higher courts to prevent such allegations true or false It refers to copies of cleverly-drafted detailed affidavit along with supporting enclosures sent on 19.04.2019 by a former female employee of Supreme Court to 22 judges of the Apex Court levelling serious charges of sexual harassment against Chief Justice of India CJI Ranjan Gogoi leading CJI to react as some bigger forces against him just before important poll-cases. Similar allegations were earlier levelled against a retired Chief Justice of India and a retired Supreme Court judge when both of them were holding important constitutional posts at time of levelling of allegations. While the retired CJI was forced to resign from his post, the retired judge managed to remai...

An English newspaper published from south India, which is largely perceived to be anti Prime Minister Narendra  Modi in publishing news and views ,  has prominently published some news item regarding the Rafale deal.  Newspaper claimed that the matter has been sourced from the concerned ministry of Government of India and it has said that “ no force on earth can make the paper reveal the source of news”. The matter was taken to the Supreme Court by an  activist known for being vocal in expressing opinion against Modi government. Government of India, in it’s response , said that the matter was stolen from the ministry by adopting dubious means and such stolen matter cannot be admitted by the Supreme Court  to take up the issue for hearing. However, the Supreme Court rejected the conte...

It is surprising that the Election Commission has told the Supreme Court that it lacks powers to act against the misbehaving politicians and candidates contesting in the election and  Supreme Court judges have expressed surprise and said that they would examine the powers of the Election Commission. Election commission is a constitutional body created by the Constitution to conduct free and fair elections. Election Commission is a constitutional body as much as the judiciary is . When the Election Commission has the responsibility to conduct free and fair elections as expected by the constitution of India, it obviously means that it has inherent powers to ensure the necessary conditions for achieving it’s objectives. In recent years, judiciary has become a very powerful body in th...
