Re: [IAC#RG] NO ROOM FOR VIP SECURITY

Wherever the common man is secured, there is no need of any special security for the VIPs. Hence, the security provided to VIPs should be used for all.

Re: [IAC#RG] GHRC SUMMONS CS & DGP OVER POLICE STATIONS WITHOUT STAFF

The Goa Human Rights Commission (GHRC) comprising of Retired District Judge A.D.Salkar and Mr.J.A Keny has today issued notices to the Chief Secretary and Director General of Police directing them to appear on 9th January in connection with the complaint filed that all police stations across Goa are now being managed by just a few police personnel as almost the entire police staff have been scheduled for election duty for the Goa Assembly Polls scheduled for February 4th.

 

In the complaint it has been stated that it was very alarming and disturbing that almost the entire police staff from the police stations across Goa have been scheduled for election duty as a result of which all the police stations will have to be managed by just a few police personnel thus putting to risk the security and well being of the citizens.

 

Pointing out that this sordid state of affairs with police stations without the much needed police personnel will now continue for over a month, it has been submitted that every citizen has the right to life, liberty and his security and that the duty that this right is ensured is cast upon the police force.

 

Stating that despite the police presence Goa has been witnessing an alarming number of crimes all over, the attention of the GHRC has been drawn that the DGP in another proceedings had earlier already submitted before the GHRC that there was already a shortage of police personnel.

 

It has also been stated that the few police personnel who would have to manage the police stations will also be inhumanly overworked in violation of their Human Rights.

 

It has been sought that the Chief Secretary, Director General of Police and the Chief Electoral Officer be directed to explain as how they are allowing police stations to be abandoned and as to how many staff will be managing the respective police stations during the next 30 days to ensure that the human rights of the citizens are not violated.

[IAC#RG] THE RTI ACT NEEDS A BOOSTER

The Right to Information Act which came into force on October 12th 2005 is now over a decade old. Over the last 17 years however the greater challenge has been the actual implementation of the Act. Unless the RTI Act is further strengthened Good Governance, Transparency in the Administration and Zero Tolerance to Corruption will never be a reality. The Right to Information Act was enacted to ensure transparency and accountability in governance. But the manner in which the government is subtly subverting the Right to Information Act is a matter of concern.

 

The Right to Information is derived from our fundamental Right of expression under Article 19 of our Constitution.  If we do not have information on how our Government and public institutions function, we cannot express any informed opinion on it. This has been reiterated by various Supreme Court judgments since 1977.

 

The Right to Information Act has been hailed as the hallmark of our democracy. The Act aims at making the government transparent and more accountable. The effective use of it would, in the long run, curb corruption. Right to Information Act has become a powerful tool in exposing corruption at top places in the government.

 

A well informed citizenry, transparency, and free flow of information are the very foundations of any successful democratic society. India may be publicly acclaimed as the world's largest democracy but the ground reality is that we are now ebbing away to an autocratic regime.  Democracy and non-transparency in the functioning of the Government cannot co-exist. Besides freedom of speech without access to information is meaningless.

 

Narendra Modi rode to power on his vow of 'Acche din' for the Aam Aadmi and Good governance. But after assuming office in May 2014 the Prime Minister has not uttered a word on the RTI Act, leave alone on strengthening it. His then enthusiasm for freedom has been waning away and we now have an emerging culture of surveillance and secrecy.  For the common man, getting correct and accurate information under the Right to Information Act is today becoming a far cry.

 

As part of the ploy to subvert the RTI Act many of the Information Commissions across the country have been kept dysfunctional. Even those Information Commissioners appointed like in Goa are very 'pliable' agents of the ruling BJP.   

 

As the Right to Information Act requires that the Information Commissioners have to be persons of Eminence in public life, Independent minded persons who do not succumb to political pulls and pressures need to be appointed as Information Commissioners to ensure the proper implementation of the Right to Information Act. If Yes-men manage to creep into as Information Commissioners it would be an exercise in futility ending up as white elephants that we would rather be better off without.

 

Under Section 4 of the RTI Act all public authorities are duty bound to regularly display on their website a wide range of information, including all relevant facts while formulating important policies or announcing the decisions which affect the public. This proviso in the law was enacted to reduce the need for filing individual RTI applications. But this mandatory duty has been blatantly flouted by the authorities with most government websites themselves dysfunctional or not updated. What is the use of Right to freedom of speech when the people do not have their rightful access to information?

 

The Judiciary needs to step in to ensure that the Government complies with the mandate of the Right to Information Act. But with the Courts themselves also averse to parting with information and with its functioning largely under a veil of secrecy, we are stonewalled.

 

But we need to battle it out and cannot allow the RTI Act to be choked by the government to a slow death. Steps need to be taken to strengthen the transparency regime that was sought to be established as envisaged by the RTI Act. Effective implementation of the RTI Act requires political commitment from the very top. Officials denying information or giving misleading and distorted information need to be severely penalized.

 

Governance by cloak of secrecy and opaqueness needs to be strongly resisted. It cannot be a hush-hush regime. We need to dismantle those walls of secrecy that continue to hound transparency and good governance despite the Right to Information Act now being in place for 17 long years. In those very own words of Prime Minister Narendra Modi 'Sabko sanmati de bhagwan' (Let good sense prevail).

Re: [IAC#RG] Fw: RBI confesses that demonetisation failed

We all know the average or low quality is our own Police force. Many have been recruited by paying in money or "Nazrana", and "Sifarish", if you please. This is yet another sad & unspoken reason, why NO reform is being considered to upgrade + give full freedom for the police force to, operate in India. Below average governance in every State and at the Central levels will have to pay the price, in the final analysis. Who will agree to give in ?
Thus we have an India today where "hamam mein sabh nangey hain" that is to say that, in the tank for bathing all are naked, indeed !

Here in our India NOTHING will change. NIA or CBI and the police are used for the self interest of those in political power, at the Centre or the States concerned. 
Indians know not what a revolution is, and if it does ever come to pass, how long will its effect last, truly speaking ? 
All of the above-said is the truth -- nothing less and nothing more. Period

It is a good idea to start petitioning Govt. on various issues affecting people. But how far this will be an effective tool against the Govt. is difficult to say.

Record show that even after fighting in the Supreme Court and getting directions the Govt. keep delaying reforms/remedies on one pretext or the other. Police Reforms is a case in point, and you having been a part of the police force would know how the Govt. is dragging its feet without taken any worthwhile steps.

While we keep decrying foreign financed NGOs and people connected with them, we have failed to develop indegenously financed institutions with adequate finances to expose the Govt. failings. 

If the PM says we should have a bullet train whatever the cost without going into cost benefits and disregrding the present state of affairs of the Railways, you hardly see any dissenting voice by any one of the stake holders. 
Recntly some figures showed that the petrol that cost Rs.30 after refining is sold at Rs 80 in Mumbai, delibrate design to keep it out of GST and use the excess funds without any tranperency becomes obvious.

It is so obvious that it was an ill-prepared operation because the RBI hardly had time to print and put in circulation the new notes.

it was badly timed for the same  reason for the people  but not for the Govt.as the objective was  to win UP election. But due to leak

age in the press it became a premature delivery.

There can be no arguement on the stated objects like un earthing of black money, elimination of fake currency, money laundring,control of terrorism and other anti social activities by starving them of funds. But now after 10 months is it not natural for civil society to take stock of which stated object has been achieved ?

Now that the RBI has finally given the figure of the bank notes of 1000/500 returned are about the same except about 16000cr short and they do not know how muh is fake currency, is it no obvious that all black money has been deposited. This data is now available for TAX authorities, who has deposited how much. In such a scenario can be Govt. not target only those whom it chooses to target.? 

Who will force the Govt. for white paper? the Parliament where the Govt. has managed to get majority in both houses and the scant respect the PM has shown in treating the opposition . Can there be bigger proof than the delaying tactics of the Govt. iin filling

consitutional post of LokPal or CVC or integrity  of these instituitions. 

When you speak of the stake ho;ders-who are they-civil society, Govt. Parliament and Judiciary? Is civil society not powerless against the might of the State?
Political gambles should be of managable limits as it was in case of Mr. Vajpaye though at a cost.
Econmic gambles if based on supporting data are less likey to fail because All Govt.s during the twentieth century are depending the economic forecasts'for formulating their policies.

Will the stakeholders figure out as to in what all manners,and to what extent(without getting into granular details), was the fraud perpetrated,through Demon?
Failure of an ill-prepared,ill-timed(or timed for extraneous considerations)scheme is one thing,and pre-planned perpetration of fraud another.
Guess work is no answer to serious issues.
The first demand needs to be to get a WHITE PAPER on the crucial issue,in time-bound manner.Impact of this scheme ,in standalone mode,is essential to be known ,and not when clubbed with GST,Surgical Strike etc.
Everything needs to be well quantified in the white paper,as etcs have no place therein.
Let there be admission that implementation was faulty, if the intention was good,and that no fraud took place.
if better alternatives to achieve the same lofty objectives(that need to spelt out,in no uncertain terms) were available,then why the same were not explored.
A decision tree,as also decision-matrix,as part of decision-making science, need to be disclosed.
Using demon,if the govt disarmed the opponents of their ill-gotten wealth,in cash form, then politics won and people/prosperity lost.

Dear Shri Gaur

I have carefully read views of yourself and Shr R.N. Malhotra

It is a matter of public record that I, on behalf of India Against Corruption, had complained to RBI Dy. Governor on 6 April 2015 that there was massive fake currency of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 denom notes in circulation and it was I who had first demanded de-nom of these notes and replacement of the Gandhi icons.

I had based my complaints on a secret IB report which I persued through a technically sophisticated whistleblower. This report indicated that at the time 18% of all Rs. 500 and 13% of all Rs. 1,000 denom notes of old Gandhi series were high quality forgeries (of non-Pak origin) and projected an alarming picture that within a year the figure would approach 25-30%.

I then pursued my complaint in appeal to the Governor RBI and I evetually got back a reply that my complaint was being very actively considered at highest levels of Central Govt.

As we all know de-mon happened on 8 Nov 2016, and IAC was among the forefront to crticise it for being too late and too badly mismanaged. At the time IAC had also criticised it as a hollow and cynical political exercise to win Uttar Pradesh.

Subsequently IAC got more leaks from whistleblowers which we have discreetly conveyed back to government and RBI. 

The extent of the de-mon scam is mind-boggling and I can safely say that the corruption of de-mon by a few people in BJP is 50 times greater than all Congress scams combined in India's history.

Re: [IAC#RG] Fw: RBI confesses that demonetisation failed

Dear Shri Gaur

This BJP Govt is completely corrupt and completely insensitive and petitioning is useless.

Like most patriotic Hindutva oriented people on IAC platform we had hoped and voted that BJP would finish off Congress, finish off corruption and usher in a strong and resurgent India.

Instead are deceived and we find that this is the most arrogant, and foreign (USA) backed dicatorship India has ever known, which is fooling the people with fake nationalism and fake piety while they are looting the coffers of the nation and printing worthlessly colourful currency notes to take its place,

There is also no law and order or justice system worth the name in India and corruption is rampant everywhere (except in social media and Ambani news outlets).

Don't blame IAC, they have now learned some very important lessons, eg,

(a) nobody with foreign links can be trusted,

(b) the RSS since 1940's has been a fully USA backed puppet fascist organisation and

(c) Hinduism and Hindutva is in grave danger of being irreparably corrupted by the Christian teachings of so-called Swami Vivekananda which passes for Hinduism today to deliver our nation into the hands of foreign devils.

Recntly some figures showed that the petrol that cost Rs.30 after refining is sold at Rs 80 in Mumbai, delibrate design to keep it out of GST and use the excess funds without any tranperency becomes obvious. Yet we have to continue to do our bit where ever and in whatever manner we can-on social media,petitions,PILs,NGOs and direct agitations. IAC had become a premier platform for fighting corruption through Jan Andolan of 2011/12 but could not sustain the tempo due to internal,ideological reasons.

Tagore probably thought that if even one person had resolution and determination he/she could carry the cause forward.
Similar sentiments have been expressed by other celebrities/scholars as well. History and experience tell the same thing.
Now without even a modicum of effort,accepting failure ab-initio,wouldn't seem to be a great idea.
Please start a petition on change.org.
Let it become a movement.
May be it'll be hijacked, in due course of time.

It is so obvious that it was an ill-prepared operation because the RBI hardly had time to print and put in circulation the new notes.

it was badly timed for the same  reason for the people  but not for the Govt.as the objective was  to win UP election. But due to leak

age in the press it became a premature delivery.

There can be no arguement on the stated objects like un earthing of black money, elimination of fake currency, money laundring,control of terrorism and other anti social activities by starving them of funds. But now after 10 months is it not natural for civil society to take stock of which stated object has been achieved ?

Now that the RBI has finally given the figure of the bank notes of 1000/500 returned are about the same except about 16000cr short and they do not know how muh is fake currency, is it no obvious that all black money has been deposited. This data is now available for TAX authorities, who has deposited how much. In such a scenario can be Govt. not target only those whom it chooses to target.? 

Who will force the Govt. for white paper? the Parliament where the Govt. has managed to get majority in both houses and the scant respect the PM has shown in treating the opposition . Can there be bigger proof than the delaying tactics of the Govt. iin filling

consitutional post of LokPal or CVC or integrity  of these instituitions. 

When you speak of the stake ho;ders-who are they-civil society, Govt. Parliament and Judiciary? Is civil society not powerless against the might of the State?
Political gambles should be of managable limits as it was in case of Mr. Vajpaye though at a cost.
Econmic gambles if based on supporting data are less likey to fail because All Govt.s during the twentieth century are depending the economic forecasts'for formulating their policies.

Will the stakeholders figure out as to in what all manners,and to what extent(without getting into granular details), was the fraud perpetrated,through Demon?
Failure of an ill-prepared,ill-timed(or timed for extraneous considerations)scheme is one thing,and pre-planned perpetration of fraud another.
Guess work is no answer to serious issues.
The first demand needs to be to get a WHITE PAPER on the crucial issue,in time-bound manner.Impact of this scheme ,in standalone mode,is essential to be known ,and not when clubbed with GST,Surgical Strike etc.
Everything needs to be well quantified in the white paper,as etcs have no place therein.
Let there be admission that implementation was faulty, if the intention was good,and that no fraud took place.
if better alternatives to achieve the same lofty objectives(that need to spelt out,in no uncertain terms) were available,then why the same were not explored.
A decision tree,as also decision-matrix,as part of decision-making science, need to be disclosed.
Using demon,if the govt disarmed the opponents of their ill-gotten wealth,in cash form, then politics won and people/prosperity lost.

Dear Sh. S. Roy,


Thanks for clarifying. I AM OF THE SIMILAR VIEW. AND THIS IS WHAT i HAVE ALLUDED TO IN ANOTHER RSPONSE OF MINE.

Today the Govt. is in a position to pick and choose to target opposition as is happening in Bihar and Karnataka. BJP,s holier than thou attitude does not carry conviction. Relentless pursuit to make ADHAR compulsory inspite of repeated ruling by the SC is another indicator of possible misuse to target people on selective basis. Regds

Dear Shri Gaur

I have carefully read views of yourself and Shr R.N. Malhotra

It is a matter of public record that I, on behalf of India Against Corruption, had complained to RBI Dy. Governor on 6 April 2015 that there was massive fake currency of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 denom notes in circulation and it was I who had first demanded de-nom of these notes and replacement of the Gandhi icons.

I had based my complaints on a secret IB report which I persued through a technically sophisticated whistleblower. This report indicated that at the time 18% of all Rs. 500 and 13% of all Rs. 1,000 denom notes of old Gandhi series were high quality forgeries (of non-Pak origin) and projected an alarming picture that within a year the figure would approach 25-30%.

I then pursued my complaint in appeal to the Governor RBI and I evetually got back a reply that my complaint was being very actively considered at highest levels of Central Govt.

As we all know de-mon happened on 8 Nov 2016, and IAC was among the forefront to crticise it for being too late and too badly mismanaged. At the time IAC had also criticised it as a hollow and cynical political exercise to win Uttar Pradesh.

Subsequently IAC got more leaks from whistleblowers which we have discreetly conveyed back to government and RBI. 

The extent of the de-mon scam is mind-boggling and I can safely say that the corruption of de-mon by a few people in BJP is 50 times greater than all Congress scams combined in India's history.

sincerely

Sarbajit Roy

You had also recommended demonetisation for detecting fake currency notes. 

Other objective was to control terror funding, and money laundring. 

So how far the Govt. has succeded in achieving these objectives?
