Recalling Anti-Sikh Riots 1984

1984 anti sikh riots delhi(1)

On 25th of June 2011, P.Chidambaram spoke on anti-Sikh riots of 1984, he stated "Its time to forgive and build a new India " and this statement has once again brought a nationwide outrage and focus on one of the darkest chapter in the history of Independent India, I don't understand how could he expect this nation to forget the organized genocide of Sikhs in which unarmed and innocent Sikh men,women and even children were brutally murdered by members and workers of Indian National Congress(INC), properties of Sikhs were burnt by  the mobs and goons of Indian National Congress(INC),all those events were planned,perpetrated and sponsored by Indian National Congress which was in power in central 

during that time,anti-Sikh riots are looked as an attempt of

1984 anti-sikh riots delhi

INC(Indian National Congress) to avenge assassination of Indira Gandhi by two of her own Sikh body guards, after which from 31st-October to 3rd-November 1984 Sikh genocide took place in Delhi and in nearby region, mobs of INC(Indian National Congress) used iron rods and knives to attack Sikhs and used kerosene to burn their houses,businesses,shops and schools, even Gurdwaras were attacked some Sikhs were burnt alive,even children were not spared, buses and trains were stopped and Sikh passengers were pulled out and burnt alive by throwing kerosene on them.

Government figures says about 2,700 Sikhs died and 20,000 Sikhs fled away, but human rights organizations and newspapers reported the death toll to be somewhere  between 10,000-17,000 and according to PUCL 50,000 Sikhs flew away to save their lives.

Today its an open secrete that mobs involved in riots of 1984 were actually the active members and supporters of Indian National Congress, and those mobs were led by several leaders       M.L.A's, M.P's of Congress party, and there are enough number of incidents to say that top brass of Government ruled by Indian National Congress was completely aware and was also a part of this conspiracy of Sikh genocide, and who can forget Rajiv Gandhi's infamous quote where he says "When a mighty tree falls, it is natural that the earth around it does shake a little" which leaves no doubt behind that he was very much aware and a part of this conspiracy, and he actually felt and believed that whatever happened was completely justified.

There are number of incidents which proves the hand of INC in Sikh genocide, various Congress leaders like Sajjan Kumar,

R.K.Anand, Darshan Sharstri and H.K.L.Bhagat were seen leading murderous mobs, on 31st October several congress

1984 anti sikh riots delhi (5)

Party leaders met their supporters distributed them money and liquor and instructed them to attack Sikhs and kill them, INC leaders Sajjan Kumar, Lalit Maken were seen giving 100Rs. and bottle of liquor to assailants, next day Sajjan Kumar was seen distributing iron rods from parked truck to workers of Congress party instructing them to attack Sikhs, a Sikh named Moti Singh who was part of Congress for 20 years heard him giving following speech

"Whoever kills the sons of the snakes, I will reward them. Whoever kills Roshan Singh and Bagh Singh will get 5000 

rupees each, and 1000 rupees each for killing any other Sikhs. You can collect these prizes on November 3 from my personal assistant Jai Chand Jamadar"  

Congress(I) leader Shyam Tyagi's house was used as meeting place, and H.K.L Bhagat Minister of Information and Broadcasting gave money to Boop Tyagi who was brother of Shyam Tyagi for providing liquor to assailants, a Congress

leader Balwan Khokar held meeting on night of 31stOctober at a ration shop to spread violence against Sikhs, and an another congress supporter Shankar Lal Sharma held meeting at his shop after which he formed mob and instructed people to kill Sikhs, kerosene used in these riots was supplied by group of Congress party leaders who owned filling stations, like Brahmanand Gupta president of A-4 block Congress Party distributed oil in Sultanpuri, similar meetings were held in cooperative colony in Bokaro where

P.K Tripathi President of local Congress party and owner of gas station in Nara More provided kerosene to mob of congress party people and supporters. Since Sikhs were located in unmarked and various locations, Congress Party leaders equipped assailants with voter lists, school registrations and ration card list to pinpoint the locations of Sikh homes,shops,properties and businesses, the night 

1984 anti sikh riots delhi FoujaSingh (9)

before massacre began houses of Sikhs were marked by letter "S" so that they could be easily identified, because mobs were illiterate Congress leaders helped them in reading lists and marking houses and those leaders of INC themselves led the mobs to Sikh homes and neighborhoods.

A well known incident in which a Sikh named Amar Singh escaped assailants by help of his Hindu neighbor who sheltered him into his house and declared him dead, but few

1984 anti sikh riots delhi (10)

men came again looking for his body, and when neighbor said body has been taken away by others, an assailant showed him a list and replied "look Amar Singh's name has not been struck off from list so his body has not been taken away."

These things explains us how organized,systematic and brutal those riots were, and the most Ironic and wry thing is that victims of those riots are deprived of justice even till today, and culprits were allowed to walk free under political pressure. 

1984 anti sikh riots delhi (11)

Yet our Home Minister P.Chidambaram thinks "Its time to forgive and build a new India" I don't think there could be a better example of hypocrisy than this,but bitter fact is that its not something to be forgotten, and especially when justice was denied to the victims. 

Though after such incident Indian National Congress should have been declared a terrorist organization and 

1984 anti sikh riots delhi (12)

should have been banned from participating in any sort of political process,but Its really a pity that a political party whose hands are drenched in the blood of 17,000 innocent people is today ruling this nation.

Prevention of Communal Violence Bill or Communal Discrimination

Today I read Arun Jaitley's article on

"Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) Bill - 2011, and I couldn't agree more that this bill(drafted by National advisory council) may look like a bill to stop communal atrocities but its actual objective & motive is to achieve political goals and ignite communal riots. Format of this bill has put a questionmark on the intentions of those who drafted and those who cleared this bill(chairperson of NAC is Sonia Gandhi),although I hope it does not, but if this bill gets passed in its present state and becomes a law then I am pretty much sure that its adverse effects will widen the gap between existing communities in our nation and this bill will affect communal harmony and will create serious differences between majority community and minority community and will act as catalyst in widening the gap between existing communities. Most controversial and debatable aspect of this bill is its definition of "group", which stands for only linguistic and religious minorities and people of linguistic and religious majorities(i.e Hindus) are not included in the term "group", and in the case of communal violence this bill will empower central governments to impose president's rule in the affected state.

This draft bill preconsiders that members of majority community are belligerent and this draft bill treats them as criminals, I firmly believe cases of communal atrocities must be dealt unbiasedly, but this bill says communal atrocities can be committed only by the members of majority community not by the members of minority community, so does that means members of minority community can never commit any communal atrocity? I don't understand what is the logic behind this point, but according to this point communal atrocities committed by majority community against minority community is punishable offence in this law, but same communal atrocities committed by minority community against majority community is not punishable offence in this law, now isn't it communal discrimination ? why different yard sticks for people of different communities?

This bill clearly states member of majority community can never be the victim of communal atrocities, this clearly reveals dual standards of this bill.

 Now to enforce this absurd law this draft says there will be a national authority of seven members and out of these seven members four of them (including chairman and vice chairman) will be from minority community and similar authority will be formed on state level as well, which means membership of this authority will be on the basis of religion and caste, which is again communal discrimination, and according to this law the offenders will always be from majority community and justice will be delivered by members of minority community (so there is high probability that delivered justice will be biased), In case of complain these authorities will have right to raid and investigate, and these authorities will also be capable of making recommendations from governments, and these authorities will also have power of issuing advisories to central and state government.

Procedures to be followed during investigation under this bill are also controversial and debatable like

• Name, identity and address of a complainant will not be disclosed that means accused will never know who filed the complaint against him.
• Complainant can register his/her complain while sitting at home
• Statements of the victims will be recorded only in front of court.
• Government will have power to intercept and block messages and telecommunications under this law
• If there is an allegation against a person of committing communal atrocities then he would be considered guilty until he is proven innocent, which means merely an allegation is considered a proof.
•  Public servants can be tried under this bill without seeking permission from government 
• This bill enables central government to impose president's rule in state in the case of communal-riots.

If this bill is passed and enforced in its current state then it will be widely misused against the people of majority community because of its duplicity, members of minority community may use this law and register fake cases against anyone from majority community alleging them of spreading hatred, attacking them, conspiring against them, and the person against whom such case is registered will not even know who filed it against him. 

As there are several loop holes in this bill, people of minority community will derive unfair advantage of this bill because they will be well aware that no matter what they do they will not be charged under this act, and also extremists and jehadi's may take advantage of the loop holes of this bill and perform their act of terrorism and get away very easily due to the limitations of this bill, all these points shows that "Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) Bill - 2011" is completely biased, and its not at all difficult to understand that this is clearly a communal discrimination on the basis of religion and caste, 

As now its crystal clear that motive of this bill is to create differences between majority and minority communities, there is also a possibility that members of NAC who drafted this bill were under the pressure of chairperson of NAC & Congress president Sonia Gandhi, and if this is so then its clear that congress is moving ahead with the British strategy of divide and rule to achieve its political goals, and according to me this trend is extremely lethal for our nation and Indian nationals, and if congress continues with this strategy then congress itself will become one of the biggest threat for our nation.

Nation stands in favor of Jan Lokpal Bill

Since last three days we have been hearing a pleasant roar across the nation in favor of Jan Lokpal Bill (drafted by social activists) which proves that Indian Nationals are sick and tired of corruption prevailing in our country, and it seems that now enough is enough we have reached the saturation point, and we are no longer going to tolerate corruption anymore, which according to me is a quite healthy sign for any nation, and brightest aspect of this movement according to me is that, the youth of India has embraced this movement with open arms, because this is a concrete and honest attempt to fight corruption, for which I thank people like Anna Hazare, Anand Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and all those who are protesting and standing in favor of this bill, because of their efforts people of this nation have once again united for the sake of their nation.


Yesterday I read both the bills, the one which is drafted by the government and the other which is drafted by social activists, and in my opinion the bill drafted by government is utter nonsense, if you just have a look at the Bill drafted by government you will realize the political class wants corruption to remain an integral part of our society, and if this bill gets passed in parliament in its present state, it would be a violation of our fundamental rights, and it will create much more problems than it will solve, whereas if we take a look on Jan Lokpal Bill drafted by social activists we can see an honest attempt being made to fight corruption, 

Comparison of Government’s Lokpal Bill with Civil Society’s Lokpal Bill

S No	Government’s proposal	Civil Society proposal
1.	Lokpal will not have any power to either initiate action suo motu in any case or even receive complaints of corruption from general public. The general public will make complaints to the speaker of Lok Sabha or chairperson of Rajya Sabha. Only those complaints forwarded by Speaker of Lok Sabha/ Chairperson of Rajya Sabha to Lokpal would be investigated by Lokpal. This not only severely restricts the functioning of Lokpal, it also provides a tool in the hands of the ruling party to have only those cases referred to Lokpal which pertain to political opponents (since speaker is always from the ruling party). It will also provide a tool in the hands of the ruling party to protect its own politicians.	Lokpal will have powers to initiate investigations suo moto in any case and also to directly entertain complaints from the public. It will not need reference or permission from anyone to initiate investigation into any case.
2	Lokpal has been proposed to be an advisory body. Lokpal, after enquiry in any case, will forward its report to the competent authority. The competent authority will have final powers to decide whether to take action on Lokpal’s report or not. In the case of cabinet ministers, the competent authority is Prime Minister. In the case of PM and MPs the competent authority is Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha, as the case may be. In the coalition era when the government of the day depends upon the support of its political partners, it will be impossible for the PM to act against any of his cabinet ministers on the basis of Lokpal’s report. For instance, if there were such a Lokpal today and if Lokpal made a recommendation to the PM to prosecute A. Raja, obviously the PM will not have the political courage to initiate prosecution against A. Raja. Likewise, if Lokpal made a report against the PM or any MP of the ruling party, will the house ever pass a resolution to prosecute the PM or the ruling party MP? Obviously, they will never do that.	Lokpal is not an advisory body. It will have the powers to initiate prosecution against any one after completion of investigations in any case. It will also have powers to order disciplinary proceedings against any government servant.
3	The bill is legally unsound. Lokpal has not been given police powers. Therefore Lokpal cannot register an FIR. Therefore all the enquiries conducted by Lokpal will tantamount to “preliminary enquiries”. Even if the report of Lokpal is accepted, who will file the chargesheet in the court? Who will initiate prosecution? Who will appoint the prosecution lawyer? The entire bill is silent on that.	Lokpal would have police powers. It will be able to register FIR, proceed with criminal investigations and launch prosecution.
4	The bill does not say what will be the role of CBI after this bill. Can CBI and Lokpal investigate the same case or CBI will lose its powers to investigate politicians? If the latter is true, then this bill is meant to completely insulate politicians from any investigations whatsoever which are possible today through CBI.	That part of CBI, which deals with cases of corruption, will be merged into Lokpal so that there is just one effective and independent body to take action against corruption.
5	There is a strong punishment for “frivolous” complaints. If any complaint is found to be false and frivolous, Lokpal will have the power to send the complainant to jail through summary trial but if the complaint were found to be true, the Lokpal will not have the power to send the corrupt politicians to jail! So the bill appears to be meant to browbeat, threaten and discourage those fighting against corruption.	Deterrence has been provided against frivolous complaints in the form of financial penalties against the complainant, however, Lokayukta is empowered to prosecute the corrupt and take disciplinary action against them.
6	Lokpal will have jurisdiction only on MPs, ministers and PM. It will not have jurisdiction over officers. The officers and politicians do not indulge in corruption separately. In any case of corruption, there is always an involvement of both of them. So according to government’s proposal, every case would need to be investigated by both CVC and Lokpal. So now, in each case, CVC will look into the role of bureaucrats while Lokpal will look into the role of politicians. Obviously the case records will be with one agency and the way government functions it will not share its records with the other agency. It is also possible that in the same case the two agencies arrive at completely opposite conclusions. Therefore it appears to be a sure way of killing any case.	Lokpal will have jurisdiction over politicians, officials and judges. CVC and the entire vigilance machinery of government will be merged into Lokpal.
7	Lokpal will consist of three members, all of them being retired judges. There is no reason why the choice should be restricted to judiciary. By creating so many post retirement posts for judges, the government will make the retiring judges vulnerable to government influences just before retirement as is already happening in the case of retiring bureaucrats. The retiring judges, in the hope of getting post retirement employment would do the bidding of the government in their last few years.	Lokpal would have ten members and one Chairperson. Out of them four need to have legal background (they need not be judges). Others could be from any background.
8	The selection committee consists of Vice President, PM, Leaders of both houses, Leaders of opposition in both houses, Law Minister and Home minister. Barring Vice President, all of them are politicians whose corruption Lokpal is supposed to investigate. So there is a direct conflict of interest. Also selection committee is heavily loaded in favor of the ruling party. Effectively ruling party will make the final selections. And obviously ruling party will never appoint strong and effective Lokpal.	Selection committee consists of members from judicial background, Chief Election Commissioner, Comptroller and Auditor General of India and international awardees (like Nobel prize winners and Magsaysay awardees of Indian origin). A detailed transparent and participatory selection process has been prescribed.
9	Lokpal will not have powers to investigate any case against PM, which deals with foreign affairs, security and defence. This means that corruption in defence deals will be out of any scrutiny whatsoever. It will become impossible to investigate into any Bofors in future.	There is no such bar on Lokpal’s powers.
10	Whereas a time limit of six months to one year has been prescribed for Lokpal to enquire, however, subsequently, there is no time limit prescribed for completion of trial.	Investigations should be completed within one year. Trial should get over within the next one year.
11	It does not deal with corruption of Bureaucrats. Corrupt bureaucrats continue in their job without any actions against them.	Lokpal will have power to direct disciplinary action, including dismissal of a corrupt officer from job.
12	It does not talk of investigation of complaints against judges	Lokpal will have powers to initiate investigations on complaints of corruption against judges.
13	Speaker would decide which complaints shall be enquired into by Lokpal.	Lokpal will not be able to dismiss any complaint from public without hearing the complainant.
14	Our entire governance system suffers from inadequate public grievance redressal systems, which force people to pay bribes. Lokpal bill does not address this issue.	Lokpal will have the powers to orders redressal in a time bound manner. It will have powers to impose financial penalties on guilty officers, which would be paid to complainant as compensation.
15	Large number of people raising their voice against political corruption are being murdered. Lokpal does not have any powers to provide protection to them.	Lokpal will have powers to provide protection against physical and professional victimization of whistleblowers.
16	Nothing has been provided in law to recover ill gotten wealth. A corrupt person can come out of jail and enjoy that money.	Loss caused to the government due to corruption will be recovered from all accused.
17	Under the present law, there is Small punishment for corruption- Punishment for corruption is minimum 6 months and maximum 7 years.	Enhanced punishment - The punishment would be minimum 5 years and maximum of life imprisonment.

and hesitation shown by the government on including people of  civil society in re-drafting the bill raises a question-mark on the intentions of government, I mean lets take it this way, this bill is meant for citizens of India, and government doesn't want to include citizens in formation of this bill, what sort of democracy is that ?above mentioned bill proposed by government has several loop holes and still government wants to move on with this, if this is not a dictatorship then what it is ?
we also heard some remarks and comments from the people who are part of government saying this step is immature, some saying its impatient, some says Anna Hazare has been brain washed, but fact is that all such people saying this are actually ignoring what people of this country wants, they are ignoring views and sentiments of the people, which will result in bringing down the whatsoever remaining credibility of government, I am really surprised when government says we can't talk before May13th because they are busy with the coming elections, are the elections bigger than the citizens of nation?


People of this nation are awaiting this bill since last 42 years and we have right to be impatient, and there couldn't be anymore delay on this bill, and instead of looking at the seriousness of the issue, government comes out with a proposed bill which is literally toothless and absolutely stupid, this is an insult to the intelligence of a common man.   
Its high time that government realizes the demands of good governance, otherwise situation may blow out of proportion, as there is lots of anger across the nation over corruption, inflation, poor governance and incompetency in our political system, and if this time its ignored this peace protests may turn into violent protest. 


First war of Independence was fought for self governance, and this time another war will be fought for good governance and for democracy.   

Wiki Bomb Explodes On UPA

As usual UPA once again landed in a controversy, and this times its because of  shocking revelations from Wikileaks, which confirms allegation of buying trust vote on nuclear deal back in 2008 were true. On 22July2008 three Mp's displayed bundles of currency notes in Parliament saying attempts were made to buy their vote, and they were bribed to vote in favour of N-bill, so a JPC(joint parliamentary committee) was set up to investigate, but issue was swept under the carpet with the general elections, Wikileaks cables reveals that it was Gandhi family's close friend Satish Sharma and his political aid Nachiket Kapur who arranged 50-60 crore rupees, and money was kept in two chests and displayed to American embassy official informing him that there is enough cash to buy the support for N-Deal and government will not fall.


Today when entire nation is keen to know the actual truth behind all this, our government is simply denying all these allegations, members of government did raise questions on the authenticity of Wikileaks cables, and Pranab Mukherjee came up with too technical argument saying this issue belongs to 14th Lok Sabha which has been dissolved, so this issue can't be debated in 15th Lok Sabha. But government need to realize that people are not going to get satisfied with such arguments, UPA needs to come up with a convincing political answer, and as far as authenticity of these cables are concerned Government should be aware that till now no country has completely dismissed these cable and called them baseless and false, which itself is enough to prove legitimacy of these cables, but I am pretty sure about few things  

• UPA wants this issue to die out
• UPA isn't in mood to investigate these allegations 
• Corruption is growing rapidly in our politics and morals of our politicians are sinking day by day.
• Common man has started feeling as if he has been cheated by government.

How can people forget 2G scam,CWG scam,Adarsh scam, CVC chief issue, Black money issue, failure of foreign policy, but government did came up to defend and cover-up all such issues and scams but we have results in few issues like A.Raja is in prison, Kalmadi is being probed, and Supreme Court itself declared the appointment of CVC chief was illegal, but it seems government didn't learnt any lesson from its past, and if this issue goes further it will lead to political polarization resulting in ruining the remaining Image of our "so called" honest PM, its the first time opposition raised questions on the integrity and honesty of PM, and our PM did spilled the beans saying he didn't authorize anyone to buy support on N-Deal, and is completely unaware of any of such thing,
But cables also tells us about the meeting of David C Mulford with L.K Advani and reveals that UPA government did inform American Government that they don't completely trust communists on N-Deal. 


Most disappointing aspect of this revelation is that, the interference of America in our foreign policy and internal issues is so deep, though its not the first time such thing has popped out and America does keep trying various diplomatic tricks to fulfill its needs and interests, and our government let such things happen under its nose and this approach puts question mark on the faith of UPA towards nation and towards national interests of the country, and if really Ministries in our nation are assigned on America's instructions then its a dangerous sign for sovereignty of our nation.  

Today the way government is trying to legalize corruption and ignoring the views of opposition its not a healthy sign, and I am sure to cover up these things UPA  will try to have an image makeover by moving ahead with programs of national-interest, which could be smelled by PM's statement where he says "its the time for reforms". But million dollar question is can Indian nationals forgive this government in next general elections after all this ?

Errant Fire Of Reservations

Revolt of Jat community has been running since a week with the demand of reservations in central services, and these people are literally blackmailing the government to get their demands fulfilled, but most important point that I want to make here is that, 
are these people really socially and economically backward?
Do these people really deserve and are they actually in need of reservation ?
 If we look at the bigger picture Jats of Haryana and western U.P have land for agriculture and whatever of their land is acquired by government they did received a fair and genuine compensation against their land, and this community is neither economically nor socially backward, but still their leaders are demanding reservations for themselves, and the way they have blocked rail tracks and stopped railway traffic and created problems for a common citizens it raises a question,
Is this the right way to protest and hold people as hostage to fulfill unfair demands ?

In context of reservations we need to observe that all those communities, casts and tribes who are enjoying reservations under schedule casts and schedule tribe, can they still be called as backward ? I mean after getting all the special benefits for so many years hasn't their condition improved ? and is reservation actually capable in bring equality in society ?


After independence when reservations were being given, it was decided that it will have time limit of 10 years, but after the span of every 10 years from then till today, this time limit kept on extending, and it seems it will go on on for an eternity, because reservations have become a deadly weapon for vote bank politics.
Whenever a community demands for reservation for themselves some political parties always steps up in support of their demands to grab the opportunity of enhancing their vote bank, where as other political parties don't oppose to such demands because they are afraid of loosing a certain portion of their vote bank, so they remain silent, as a result such demands are increasing day by day, and state and central governments acts as catalyst and often add fuel to fire.


In the tenure of V.P Singh report of Mandal commission which suggested 27% reservation for backwards, was implemented and since then various other communities have been demanding reservations time to time and this tradition is still going on, and leaders and political parties started supporting such demands blindly without even analyzing whether those demands are genuine or not, political parties do so just for the sake of their vote bank, and now some communities are demanding reservation in the name of Schedule Castes and some in the name of Schedule Tribes, and now even Muslim community has started demanding reservations on the basis of religion, and few sates are are now even moving ahead with the recommendations of Sachar Committee, and are going to implement reservations for Muslims in their states, some state governments have been pressurizing central government for this. Situation is getting even worse day by day, and now some of those communities who are already enjoying the benefits of  reservations are demanding reservations in Judiciary too.


In the report of Mandal Commission Jats were not considered as backwards, but few states gave them reservation under backward class for vote bank politics, as a result now Jat community is demanding reservation in central services too, Jats revolted last year also, but this year when they started their protest governments of Haryana and U.P supported their demands, 


But those leaders and political parties who are supporting such demands must understand that government jobs have been decreasing and competition for them is increasing every day, and if various communities like Jats keep coming up with their unfair demands then wouldn't it be unfair to the people of other sections of society ?


Real and bitter truth is that reservation is actually spreading inequality among various communities and sections of society, and political leaders need to realize that its not right to increase differences and gap among various sections of society, and its not a healthy thing for our nation too. No matter what these political parties and leaders claim, but no one cares that actual motive of reservation is to bring all sections of society into mainstream, rather than distributing government jobs like peanuts.


According to Supreme Court reservations can't be more than 50% and constitution doesn't allows to cross this barrier, so its clear that government jobs for reserved sections will remain limited, and may be that's why we are hearing demands of amendment in constitution to increase the limit of reservations, and there are demands of reservations in private sector as well, and doing so means compromising with the capability of nation.


Today when we should be thinking about reviewing the time span of reservation and for how many years more it should continue, 
our leaders and governments are misusing it for their personal benefit, now time has come to stop such practice and to think about giving reservation on the basis of economic and financial condition of person, so that only those get benefit who are actually deserving, and if these changes doesn't take place, then this foul practice of using reservation to achieve political goals will continue, and may be such thing is beneficial for our political parties and leaders, but its definitely quite lethal for our nation.

UPA-2 : Most awful,corrupt and incompetent government since independence

Its been about two years since UPA-2 came in power and since then they have been running this nation like rented poultry farm, without respecting opinion of Indian nationals who elected them in elections. which I think is a good lessons for people to understand and realize that they must value the power of voting and should always be careful while casting their vote.


Fact is that UPA is trying to hide all their sins behind the image of Manmohan Singh, I remember in PM's last press conference he stated "I may have made mistakes but I am not that culprit as presented" and he also stated he has to work within the constraint of coalition government, 


which is utter nonsense, he is the leader of government and if his ministers are doing wrong then he too is equally responsible, and he must step down if he is so helpless, and has no control over his government, and how could he justify compromise with the corruption ? 
well Mr. PM there can't be and there shouldn't be any compromises with corruption.  In the very same press conference he also compared revenue loss through scams to the subsidy given to the poor people, which is really lame, nonsense and most disgusting excuse to give. I don't even feel pity for this man who was on his knees in that press conference.


If we try to find the achievements of this government in these two years then it has to be

1. Corruption
2. Inflation 
3. Poor foreign policy

• Corruption

corruption is not an alien term in Indian Republic, we have seen numbers of scams in the past eg. Churhat lottery scam, Fodder scam, Anantnag transport subsidy scam, Urea scam, JMM bribery scandal, Tansi land deal, Bitumen scam, Kerala SNC Lavalin power scandal, Telecom scam (sukh ram), Bofors Scandal, Madhu Kaoda laundering money worth over Rs. 4000 crores, Oil-for-food programme scam, Taj corridor case,


But during this reign of UPA  things are way worse than before, in Commonwealth Games Scandal things did came out on time, PM interacted with organizing committee and others, but he easily believed those tainted people and gave them free hand rather than removing them. 

In 2G spectrum scam also there were people like P. Chidambaram who objected to the policy acquired by A.Raja and PM questioned him and Raja assured him everything is in the order and PM believed him and let him continue,


here we also have  Adarsh Housing Society scam but since it was done by congress government in state I don't criticize top national leaders though they are completely responsible for that too,


We also heard about controversial ISRO-DEVAS deal in which PMO was directly involved but later this deal was called off under the pressure of media or we would have had another big scam to discuss about.


Where CWG scam was worth 76,000 crores of rupees, 2G scam turned out to be a shocker for nation and the biggest scam of all time worth 176,379 crores of rupees. and we are yet to see a proper action on tainted people who were responsible. 


These days we are hearing a roar and outrage across the nation on black money deposited in foreign banks, I remember back in 2009 when opposition raised this issue during their election campaign, Congress considered it a joke but later Manmohan singh did categorically stated that after the formation of government within 100 days concrete actions will be taken, which we are yet to witness, and I don't see any progress from government's end on this issue,


Most interesting thing is that when Germany handed over list of the names of some foreign bank account holders to India, our government was reluctant to public those names by giving lame excuses, even when Supreme Court asked them to do so, they kept on giving stupid arguments which puts a question mark on the credibility of this government, 
why they want to hide those names ? 
who are those peoples ? 
are they part of Congress or their top leader?


Another question arises here is why India hasn't yet signed United Nation Convention against corruption, when even small countries like Nepal has signed it, 
why Indian Government is not too keen in doing so ? 
what are they afraid of ?   
why they don't want to exchange and receive information about black money deposits in foreign countries ?   
all these questions makes me wonder about what are the real intentions of this government and are those intentions in favor of nation ?


I am pretty much sure if Supreme Court wouldn't have interrupted they wouldn't have even touched Hasan Ali, though he did got bail yesterday due to so called  "lack of evidence" and because of lame arguments put by Enforcement Directorate, but this is also a fact that three passports were recovered from his place during raid and they still don't call it enough evidence,  what a pity.....


I read somewhere in the past a possible solution to bring back all black money to India is that, 


If Supreme Court declares all the black money as national property then no bank can keep it with themselves according to the rules, but question is we have a way but does this government has a will and fair intentions to bring national wealth back to the nation ?
 
And yes we also have the case of appointment of tainted CVC chief P.J Thomas, though leader of opposition Sushma Swaraj did objected on his name saying his name is involved in a scam and he doesn't deserve to be CVC chief, but still PM under suspicious circumstances gave him preference over other candidates, and lied later that he was unaware of the the scam in which he is involved. 

• Inflation

Though this should be the prime concern of every government UPA has completely failed to deal with it. Instead their ministers like Sharad Pawar who is suffering from verbal diarrhea and often gives irritating statements to add fuel to the fire, always comes up with new trick to rob the people of this nation, 


Who can forget case of rotting wheat grains which was ordered to be distributed among poor by Supreme Court, to which Prime Minister's argument that the Supreme Court should not interfere in the realm of policy formulation was something weird and ultimately all the food grains did decayed but not distributed among poor people.


We remember exceptional hike in sugar prices and Pawar's comments which were meant to profit his sugar mills owned by his relatives, 
We all know actual reason behind hike in the price of sugar and onion, happened because Shard Pawar exported onion and sugar on very low prices and imported onions from Pakistan on much higher price, we can smell some thing fishy did happened that time.


Whereas our finance minister always give a logic, that for maintaining high growth rate, inflation is necessary, but what he has to say to those poor people who doesn't have enough money to buy food ?
I don't think he is that stupid that he can't think of slightly compromising with growth rate and bringing inflation down, and this time in budget also he cleared that government is no longer willing to give subsidy on L.P.G and other petroleum products, he also imposed 10% taxes on treatments in Hospitals. I don't understand if they are not going to give any benefit to people then why the hell they expect people to pay their taxes honestly.


Whereas when it comes to Members of Parliament they get a 300% hike in the salary without any taxes, at an average MP's gets 37 lakh Rupees other than their Sansad Nidhi which is 5 crores and most part of which is digested by MP itself.

• Poor foreign policy

UPA's foreign policy is merely a joke, I remember when 26/11 took place Manmohan singh stated there would be no talks with Pak unless they punish culprits of 26/11, but soon as the memory of 26/11 faded with time, this shameless government bowed down under the pressure of US and resumed talks with Pak despite of being aware of the fact that in Pak there are multiple centres of Power, and the main one is their army but still they resumed talks with their weak government.


Who can forget the shameful event of joint statement issued in Sharm-Al-Shiekh where we witnessed complete failure of Indian diplomacy, PM went there as a victim and returned as a culprit.


Recently Foreign minister S.M Krishna committed a blunder in UN when he started reading the speech of Portugal's minister and after five minutes Indian officials informed him about it, and it was only then he realized his mistake, I mean if the job of foreign minister is just to read out whats written on the paper then even a student of 5th standard could be the Foreign Minister of India, and I am sure he would perform better than our current Minister.


We often keep hearing in news about Chinese intrusion on Indian land, but Congress has compromised with national interest in the past and still continues to do so.


I don't remember supreme court interfered and passed so many comments on any other government regarding their governance, strategies and functioning, but this time UPA government managed to achieve this quite convincingly and is undisputedly the most corrupt government India has ever seen.   


I just hope their conscious wakes up and we see some actions against corruption, naxals, extremists of J&K who come to Delhi openly abuse our nation and Constitution and walk away freely and government gives them safe passage.


At last all I would say is MAY GOD BLESS INDIA........
