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...

तीन पूर्व मुख्यमंत्रियों व नेशनल कॉन्फ्रेंस तथा पीडीपी के प्रमुख नेताओं द्वारा बार बार दिए जा रहे भारत विरोधी बयानों व धमकियों के साथ कश्मीर घाटी के बहुसंख्यक मुस्लिम समाज तथा अल्पसंख्यक गैर मुस्लिमों के बीच वैमनष्य पैदा करने के विरुद्ध शिकायत करने विश्व हिन्दू परिषद (विहिप) का एक उच्च स्तरीय प्रतिनिधि मंडल आज चुनाव आयोग से मिला. विहिप के अंतर्राष्ट्रीय कार्याध्यक्ष एडवोकेट आलोक कुमार के नेतृत्व में गए प्रतिनिधि मण्डल ने चुनाव आयोग से कहा है कि जम्मू कश्मीर के पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री फारूक अब्दुल्ला, उमर अब्दुल्ला तथा महबूबा मुफ़्ती ने पाकिस्तान की कठपुतली बन धारा 370 व 35A का विरोध कर लगातार कश्मीर की बहु संख्यक मुस्लिम आबादी का हबाला देते हुए वहां के माहौल को जानबूझकर योजना पूर्वक साम्प्रदायिक बनाने की कुचेष्टा की है. अतः इन नेताओं द्वारा आदर्श चुनाव आचार संहिता के उल्लंघन करने के कारण इनके विर...

जब पुलवामा में हमारे 40 जवान शहीद हुए थे और उसके बाद जब वायुसेना द्वारा एयरस्ट्राइक किया गया तो पूरे देश में उत्साह का माहौल था. लेकिन तब 2 जगह मातम भी मनाया जा रहा था. एक तो पाकिस्तान में और दूसरा सपा-बसपा और कांग्रेस पार्टी के खेमे में. चुनाव आया है तो बहन मायावती कहती हैं कि हम गरीबों के लिए काम करेंगे, लेकिन मैं पूछना चाहता हूँ कि बड़े-बड़े धनपतियों को जो आपने टिकट दिया है वो गरीबों के भले के लिए दिया है क्या? यूपी में सपा-बसपा का गुंडाराज चलता था. पश्चिमी यूपी से लोग पलायन करते थे. आज पलायन कराने वाले पलायन कर गए हैं. एक जमाना था गुंडों से पुलिस डरती थी, आज गुंडे गले में बोर्ड लटकाकर घुमते हैं, ये काम भारतीय जनता पार्टी ने किया है. राहुल बाबा, मायावती जी और अखिलेश जी को जितना रोना है वो रोते रहें, फिर से एक बार मोदी सरकार बनते ही देश भर में से घुसपैठियों को चुन-चुनकर निकालन...

Mega-star Amitabh Bachchan once disclosed at Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmadabad about his not advertising for cola-drinks after a school-student at Jaipur drew his attention about harmful ingredients in cola-drinks. It is significant that cola-companies voluntarily stopped selling cola-drinks in schools worldwide in view of increasing obesity in school-going children. Indian government should also not only ban advertisements but even sale of cola drinks in the country. Earlier also, soft-drink manufacturers were asked to remove an oil from their products which was found to be harmful for health. It is time that Union government, Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) and soft-drink manufacturers should revive drinks like old and famous rose-flavoured ones, which can n...

Union Ministry of Home Affairs MHA should be complimented to take immediate action against Bangladeshi artist Firdous by instant cancellation of his VISA directing him to immediately return to his country Bangladesh for his canvassing for TMC in West Bengal. If it would have been allowed without action, some separatist or fundamentalist politician would have liberty to invite even some Pakistani personality for canvassing for polls in Kashmir. It is also time that MHA also takes cognizance of hate-speeches parallelly with Election Commission of India ECI under various existing criminal laws. Since such hate-speeches are also there when there are no polls, it otherwise also becomes duty of MHA to curb such tactics in case some state-government fails in its duty to prevent such hate-speec...

World Health Organization WHO has also established that even essential drugs in India with lowest printed Maximum-Retail-Price MRP are exorbitantly priced over manufacturing-cost followed by abnormally high trade-margin between ex-factory price and MRP. National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority NPPA is considering capping of profit-margins of 73 more drugs but leaving out many more again. It is beyond understanding why and how NPPA does not have a profit-formula uniformly for all drugs at a time when even generic medicines considered to be a cheaper version of respective branded medicines have exorbitant trade-margins of several hundred percent. Competition Commission of India CCI and Central Information Commission CIC have taken cognizance of serious issue. There are many medicines whe...
