It refers to Om Prakash Rawat being appointed as 22nd Chief Election Commissioner after retirement of Achal Kumar Jyoti, and appointment of Ashok Lawasa as Election Commissioner. A Public-Interest-Litigation (PIL) was filed at Supreme Court in July 2015 seeking much-needed and long-awaited reform in selection of Election Commissioners by a collegiums also consisting of Prime Minister and largest opposition party in Lok Sabha. Even the then Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi also publicly favoured such a system which already exists for selection of Information Commissioners and Vigilance Commissioners.

It refers to Income Tax Department revealing about rupees 860.52 crores as tax-dues against richest cricket-body of the world namely Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI). Revelation comes after CIC-verdict 05.01.2018 in petition-number CIC/RM/A/2012/000197-BJ wherein CIC passed observations against Income Tax Department for being liberal against BCCI for recovery of tax-dues. Income tax Department during several rounds of hearing had confused about some stay-order against recovery of tax-dues till December 2017. Later it turned out to be stay by Income Tax Department itself. It is shocking and surprising that Income Tax Department gives undue relaxation to such super-rich bodies which spends money minted out of public-craze to liberally to our ultra-rich cricketers...

It refers to Central government stopping minting of coins because of alleged poor demand and storage-problem, meaning thereby not utilizing heavy expenses done on running mints. Undoubtedly supply position of coins now-a-days is satisfactory. But total stopping of coin-minting may again result in shortage of coins causing black-marketing of coin-bags at heavy premiums ranging from 15-20 percent. Instead of stopping coin-minting, steps should be taken to ensure availability of coin-bags of various denominations in all bank-branches (private or public-sector) including in small bank-branches so that shopkeepers may not have excuse to force unwanted items like candies and chocolates in name of non-availability of coins. Shopkeepers have made a practice to force such unwanted items a...

आम आदमी पार्टी ने अपनी संभावनाओं को खुद डकार लिया है जावेद अनीस इस देश की राजनीति में बदलाव चाहने वालों के लिये “आम आदमी पार्टी” का सफर निराश करने वाला है हालाकि इसका एक दूसरा पक्ष यह हो सकता है कि अन्ना, अरविन्द और “आप” मंडली के सहारे बदलाव की उम्मीद लगाये लोग जरूरत से ज्यादा मासूम रहे हों. बहरहाल आम आदमी पार्टी उम्मीदों को तोड़ने के सिलसिले को आगे बढ़ाते हुये एक बार फिर सुर्खियों में है. पार्टी ने राज्यसभा के लिए अपने तीन उम्मीदवारों का ऐलान करते हुए शीर्ष नेता के प्रति वफादारी,धनबल और राजनीति में जाति की महत्ता का भरपूर ध्यान रखा है . आम आदमी पार्टी के गठन को पांच साल बीत चुके हैं और इस दौरान पार्टी के नेतृत्व ने बहुत ही तेजी से पुरानी पार्टियों के राजनीतिक कार्यशैली और पैतरेबाजियों को सीख लिया है. दरअसल आम आदमी पार्टी बाकी सियासी दलों से अलग होने और विकल्प की राजनीति पेश करने...

It refers to media-reports about RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav having been lodged in Upper Division Cell of Birsa Munda Central Jail (Ranchi) having two wings each having four rooms, with only VIP prisoners privileged of having separate rooms with VIP facilities otherwise not available to normal prisoners. Stay of former Bihar Chief Minister in this jail in the year 2017, is the second one after first spell being in the year 2013. At least there must not be any distinction amongst those having found guilty in respect of prison. Even VIP prisoners most of which are politicians must taste hardships of prison life as borne by normal prisoners also to act as deterrent for others against committing crimes. Privileged VIP life-style in jails is nothing but a relaxing resort for prison-du...
