Malkangiri DM and Godhra judgement

The 1989 kidnapping of Rubaiya Sayeed was an act carried out by members of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front a Kashmiri Muslim militant organization, on December 8, 1989 in Jammu and Kashmir. The kidnappers demanded the release of five of their comrades in exchange for Rubaiya's release. The government accepted their demands and freed the jailed terrorists.

Similarly after prolonged negotiations with the Taleban government and the Kandhar plane hijackers, three hard core terrorists were released by Indian government in exchange of all the hostages trapped in hijacked plane in Kandhar in December 1999.

These two historic incidents paved the way for more and more kidnapping of important persons in various naxal prone areas in the country to force the local government to release their naxal colleagues languishing in jail for long or to get their other demand accepted by ruling government.

During last two decades and more several incidents of kidnapping have taken place in various parts of the country and in most of the cases ruling government had to bow down. Still government state as well as central, had totally neglected the dangers of growing naxal activities and allowed it to grow without any break till last year when Mr. P. Chidambram was made Minister of Home affairs

Naxals in the state of Orissa have after all succeeded in forcing the government of Orissa to release their men. This has proved that naxals have grown in their fighting capacity. The incident of Orissa and the subsequent step by ruling government to release the jailed naxals as demanded by kidnappers has once again substantiated the fact that all states governments as well as central government took a very casual approach on the danger of naxals even after the sad incident in 1989 and 1999. The Orissa incident has once again established that Government has been totally failed in taking a coordinated approach on handling the problem faced by people living in naxal affected areas during last two decades.

Still there are various politicians of various political parties who are sympathizers of naxal element because they use to take the help of naxal forces in winning the election. There are many social activists, media men, journalists, NGOs who still talk of negotiation with naxals and plead of various measures to bring naxal in the mainstream of the society. They ignore the fact that naxals are basically criminals and they have huge money power as well as armed power. They use to extort money from all affluent person including police personnel. Businessmen and service men have to give huge amount of money to local naxal people to survive in the area peacefully but it is painful and dangerous that even police person, IAS and IPS OFFICERS have to give money to naxals for their safety.

It is open secret that Illegal and coercive methods are used by naxal elements to collect money from local rich people and there is none to stop them. This is not a new phenomenon but this has been continuing for last three to four decades. Naxals have developed very good relation with top bureaucrats, social activists, politicians, ministers and local powerful persons and slowly growing in numbers. Casual, ineffective and negligent action of ruling government during last three decades has resulted in growth of network of naxals to such an extent that naxals can now dictate terms to elected government by abducting one or two socially respected or powerful persons.

I hope all political parties at state or central level will now learn the lesson from the past and try to treat the criminal as criminals. They should not try to mix the issue of poverty with that of crime .All types of criminals should be punished and punished in a period of fixed time, say three months by local courts, six months by district courts and in one year by High courts. Any political interference in the matter of crime results in boosting up the morals of crime doers.

It is due to incompetent judiciary in our country that criminals use the judicial system to postpone the decision on criminal cases. On the contrary innocents and victims are afraid of knocking the doors of police or the court in want of justice.

It is due to delayed justice that hundreds and thousands of persons are languishing in jail for years and years .It is due to inefficiency of court that 61 alleged culprits had to pass their valuable ten years in jail for visibly no fault as because they were acquitted by Gujrat Special Court in Godhra case on 22nd of February 2011.There may not be anything more painful that innocents are put in jail for several years even without trials and without even charge sheet.

It will not be an exaggeration to say that top ranked officers, ministers, MP and MLAs, heads of various departments are also acting as naxals in their area of operation to exploit their contractors, staff working in various offices and common men .Only difference is that naxals are using armed power to commit their crime and High ranked officers and ministers are using their pen power to accumulate more and more wealth. It is true that bullets fired by naxals are reaching the ears and eyes of lacs of people whereas bullets fired by white collared powerful person through their pen are not visible to common men. Both groups are looting money and exploiting poor and weak people of their area in their own style. Both are brand of extremism and both are committing crime after crime, scam after scam only because they are not afraid of police or court action.

Top ranked officers are whimsically transferred to remote and critical places if they do not do what ministers desire and on the contrary given arbitrary promotion and given cream posting if they do what ministers desire and earns bribe and share with ministers. Similarly junior officers are transferred to critical and remote by top officers and this dirty chain continues till the bottom and ultimately it helps in creating unhealthy corrupt culture. Injustice in recruitment, transfers, posting and promotions breeds frustration and depression and eventually inaction by good officers. Good officers cannot be even whistle blowers against corrupt officers in fear of repercussion, burning, killing in the hands of corrupt but powerful naxals , powerful officers and powerful politicians.

To add fuel to fire, top ranked powerful officers and ministers are now a days earning money even in recruitment. Departmental heads are conducting examinations only for showing to people but actually they are selling the recruitment in the name of reformation and earning huge money by making direct recruitment of their choice. After all there is none to stop such dirty practice prevalent in all government run departments and offices. Hundreds and thousands of cases are pending in various courts of the country for several years and decades against injustice in promotion, recruitment and transfers. Justice is never available to victimized good workers till his life. Talented candidates are rejected in examinations and interviews. Good workers and good students are more often than not, to face frustration in life. And this results in boosting up of morals of bad elements like naxals.

I therefore always say that weak judiciary is the root cause of all maladies prevalent in the country. Both kind of exploitations can be stopped only by efficient police and judicial system.As of l now, there is no justice with good workers in government run offices and hence bad people grow and become more and more powerful .These bad people with the support of bad politicians are tarnishing the image of the country and it is they who real hurdle in real development of the country.

Advocates of Congress Party and CBi

Kapil Sibal , Ms Sonia Gandhi, Mr. Rahul Gandhi, Mr. Digvijay singh, Mr. Chidambram , Mr Pranab Mukherjee, Mr. Manish Tiwari, Mr. Manu Singhwi , Manmohan Singh , the great Prime Minister, the great economist and the great reformer and all VIP leaders of Congress Party were ridiculing CAG report only a few days ago. Loyal advocates named above of Congress Party left no stone unturned to shut the mouth of crying leaders of Opposition parties demanding JPC in 2G scam.
Mr. Kapil Sibal was so much shameless that he even challenged the CAG report and named the report as bullsheet.Top leaders of Congress Party were openly denying the charges and frequently told the media that there was no truth in 2G scam. It is they who spoiled 20 precious days of the Parliament and not members of opposition parties. It is usual practice that thieves after committing robbery willfully cry “thief, thief, thief “ to get rid of police action. Similarly leaders of Congress Party were blaming NDA government for 2G scam and never accepted JPC.

It is only Supreme Court that has made them silent , otherwise they would have never accepted that there was a scam and could have saved Raja and his associates in 2G scam. Congress Party is full of corrupt leaders and hence number of exposures of scam during the tenure of UPA is increasing. Even other partners in UPA are masters in scam.

CBI the main puppet in the hands of ruling party is also taught a lesson by Apex Court. This is why at least some important persons have been arrested. Now it depends on CBI whether they submit charge sheet with full support of oral witnesses and adequate documentary evidences or allows the case to be rejected as other cases elated to VIP and powerful rich persons were rejected in the past.

Leaders of Congress Party named above should now at least cover their faces and go deep into hibernation.
They do not have now any moral right to preach sermons to public, to innocent voters and to world community.

Entire world has seen and witnessed the exposure of one after other scam. FIIs will no doubt fly away from Indian market slowly if the growth of Corruption is not stopped by any revolutionary leader. People are now very angry and they will dethrone Congress leaders if they do not mend their behavior and stop malpractices completely. Till now, none of action of Congress party leaders is able to demonstrate that they are working seriously and honestly to stop malpractices.

Black Money

Politicians often talk of black money parked in Swiss Banks but always fail in their exercise to bring back the same in our country because they are not honest in their utterings.They made unprecedented hue and cry before last general election on huge amount of black money parked in Swiss Banks but politicians of all parties became almost silent after the declaration of election result. What they say and what they mean to do is always different. India is still rated rate as one of the top corrupt nations. It is worthwhile to mention here that India is rated as one of the top ranking hunger inflicted state of the world even though Indian leaders claim and feel proud of achieving comparable GDP growth in the economy and said to be decoupled with global recession or global financial meltdown.

Madhu Koda ex-CM of Jharkhand and his associates could accumulate hundreds of crores of rupees through corrupt means because he knew the power game and corrupt game being played in the country in all the states. Koda is bird of the same feather and he is not new or his case is not an isolated case of corruption in India. Latest story on extent of corruption in CWG is well heard and read by Indians. In fact there is no dearth of cases of large scale corruption, fraud, scam and cheating in our country.

Rulers, leaders ,politicians, CEO or head of any organization first pull together all his flatters on whom he can blindly rely and throw away all honest persons who can put hindrance in their task of earning or printing money. In this way evil work of the ruler does not come to fore as long as one of the corrupt officers raise ugly voice against the system not because of his sudden thirst for patriotism but due to his puncture the effort of other corrupt person who has been enjoying larger share of ill earned wealth.

As a matter of fact rulers of this country could not stop corrupt practices in the system prevalent in our own country and could not stop formation of black money within the country and hence they could not and cannot force foreign country to declare name of Indians who have parked money in Swiss bank. Similarly when investing agencies like CBI, ED, Vigilance, IT officials and other regulating agencies are themselves corrupt they cannot stop spreading cancer of corruption in the Indian body system. And the most vital point is that when rulers themselves are corrupt they cannot endanger their own money parked in either Swiss Bank or in Indian financial and real estate sector.

It is rightly said by the great writer Munsi Prem Chand.
"Jab Rakchak hi Bhakchak Ban jaye to vinash nishchit Hai"

When almost every minister at Center and almost every minister in each State government is indulged in making money through corrupt means, when officers in general are involved in corrupt game played by politicians and when all officers entrusted with the duty of stopping and removing corruption from the system and finally unearthing ill earned money are busy in making money through corrupt means who will make serious efforts to unearth money held in Swiss Bank.

Persons or group of person who have kept their black money in Swiss Bank are none other than politicians and government officers. When top officers and top ministers are corrupt one cannot imagine of businessmen and professionals abiding by Indian rules and following rule of ethics. It is government officers and politicians who make survival of honest service men, honest businessmen and professionals difficult and force them to manufacture black money and share with corrupt officials to live peacefully. Honesty has rather become curse for government servants as well as businessmen and professionals.

Black money is not only in Swiss bank, it is parked in banks in India too. Black money is concealed in form of gold, land and building, apartment, big bazaars, farm houses, private professional colleges and in almost all big houses. Black money is visible to all whose eye is not jaundiced with the decease of black money. Nine out of ten multi storied residential building and commercial complex in Metros and big towns are constructed by ill earned black money only. It is open secret. As such it is not necessary to focus attention on money parked in Swiss Bank and make politics out of it but is more important to focus on black money parked in India and which is visible in India itself.

It is necessary for almost all politician and officers working in government and government departments to introspect and look into their heart whether they are really honest. Politicians in general cannot afford contesting and winning an election without the help of black money received from businessmen and at the same time without the indirect support of controlling officials none of the businessmen can imagine of tax evasion.

Without the support of corrupt officers, none of the contractors in India can carry out their tendered allotted work. More than fifty percent of value of contract work allotted by government to contractors is consumed in distributing commissions to corrupt officers and politicians. Ministers cannot even organize a rally without the financial support from local corrupt officers, black money of rich businessmen and professional.

I therefore feel that work of purification should start from our own land, our own offices, our own banks, our own politics, and our own administrative system. Politicians should stop playing foul game of putting blame always on foreign agencies for every lapse on their part if they are really interested to see India shining.

India must stop flattery culture because this flattery culture is the root cause of all evils. None of government servants can dream of good posting and timely promotion without indulging in flattery to big bosses and powerful politicians. It is therefore necessary to make transfer, posting and promotion fully transparent and remove all bottlenecks which gives scope of whimsical decision in the matter of posting and promotions. It is the need of the hour to punish those who are misusing their delegated powers and who promote flattery culture by taking arbitrary decisions.

CBI, Vigilance department, Band, IT department, IB ,Anti corruption offices ,custom officials all such regulating agencies which are established for prevention and elimination of corrupt practices should be made more powerful and given sufficient man power to carry out their holy job. Any officers found indulging in corrupt practice in such department should be punished severely without any discrimination based on caste, community or religion.

Political interference in administrative matters, police action and judiciary must be stopped even if for this matter rules of the land are needed to be altered, made more severe and non-discriminatory. Delegation of power in few hands at any levels and in any offices gives scope for corruption and hence the power must be diluted to the possible extent in such a way that it does not cause delay in execution of plan and projects. Officers who misuse power must be punished immediately.

And last but not the least, MLA and MP who rule the country should not be elected by votes of illiterate and criminals but selected from top IAS and IPS officers, toppers of colleges, reputed social reformers, successful bankers, reputed honest businessmen and from persons of undisputed character. System of garlanding and gifting top officials and political leaders as also that of giving red carpet welcome to top officers must be stopped immediately. Practice of spending crores of rupees in inaugural functions or in felicitating top officials or ministers must be stopped forthwith through an ordinance at least for one year to start with.

Judiciary should be provided adequate quality man power so that pendency in court is made zero and justice is made available in shortest span of time to all aggrieved Indian citizen. An environment has to be created in the country where criminals of all nature have fear of action in their mind and in their core of heart.

It is tragedy that in our country police actions in our country is against good citizens and punitive action through court orders is also possible against good citizens. Actual crime doers use judiciary to perpetuate their reign of crime .If this fear of action is ensured at all levels I am very much sure that black money from Swiss Bank or Indian Banks will automatically come on the floor and people will be motivated to use the money for constructive purposed rather than parking in foreign or Indian bank.

Honesty is the best policy has to be proved at ground level. Merit and merit has to be respected in our country if we Indians really want India to grow at grass root level.
GDP growth shown by ministers to International agencies is not at all helpful and pleasant for majority of Indians who are unable to even afford their normal livelihood and manage respectful life.

It is worthwhile to mention here US President Mr. Obama has taken many steps to reform US banking culture taking lessons from 2008 financial crisis. On the contrary our government is still unaware of growing sickness in Indian banks only because we Indian know how to play with data, sink and swim in the sea of data.

Even USA, pioneer of reformation, liberalization, privatization and globalization has started revisiting and cutting short the policy of outsourcing, policy of concentration of power in few hands, policy of complete freedom to trade icons and policy of complete freedom to banking industry so that more and more employment opportunities are generated for US citizens, expenses on executives is cut to size, and corrupt practices in US system is put an end for good and forever.

Why not Indian politicians learn lesson from their masters at least and ensure transparency in all their action and why do they not discard vote bank politics based on caste, community, religion and region is a big question to answer and a big challenge for those whose vision is to see India really shining in the world.
