Political upheavals against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) notwithstanding, more worrisome is the increasing number of students hitting the streets across states, to express solidarity with the students of the Jamia Milia Islamia and AMU protesting against the amended Citizenship Act. If students from IIT Kanpur and IIT Bombay have protested against the police violence, those from the Tata Institute of Social Science (TISS) and the University of Mumbai have denounced the central government over CAA and also the proposed National Register of Citizen (NRC).

Elected Lawyers Questioning Non-Elected Judges?
The Congress Party leaders are questioning the wisdom of the framers of the constitution of India by asking this silly question while raising political din about the CAB. Let them answer this simple question: were the constitution makers so foolish as not to know that elected representatives in independent India would be brilliant to intimidate the same “unelected judges” by their knowledge of law, even when they are on bail? They too had the privilege of having the legal luminaries to contribute to the making of the constitution. If they gave the power to the courts to declare a law null & void, they were more than well aware of the situation prevailing and likely to crop up in future as the country was going for a cabinet form of government in a democracy founded on popular vote for the first time. They were, by any standard, wiser than those politicians who grudge the unelected judges who send the elected leaders to jail under the constitution and Rule of law. Was the Constitution of India “communal” that some puny brains decided to introduce “secular” in the preamble? Was it not questioning the framers of the constitution? Was the Indian constitution “capitalist” that the word “socialist” was fastened to the preamble? Did it not amount to an insult to the makers of the Indian constitution? On CAB, “political reasons” are being debated. Carry on without forgetting local monopolist traders on the borders selling/buying hilsa, beef, rasogulla, fresh vegetables, cheap labour, trafficking, crime syndicates, fake Indian currency, modern slavery, rigging elections and organized crime. Those seeking reasons never raised their voice when atrocities were being perpetrated on those being sought to be protected. Not aware if the community in whose name opposition carries on the debate are being persecuted in Pakistan, Bangladesh etc.? For the sake of India, please stop indulging in dirty communal politics now or fear the wrath of the voters. Politicians are responsible for dividing the country and society. What do they want now ? ISIS to come to India and take it over without any resistance ?

Four Telangana rapists killed in police encounter.Country in euphoria, celebratory –dancing mood. Hyderabad Police hailed for ‘ timely action’
Unfortunately, the Unnao gang rape victim died of 90% burns in a Delhi hospital last night. Country is sullen and depressed. A police cop was allegedly caught in a sting operation by Republic TV while destroying real evidences and fabricating fake evidences before filing report. The Public is hugely outraged .
The incredible was yet to come . A five year old girl has been reportedly raped in Bihar’s Darbhanga . Keep counting . Another inhuman act in Uttar Pradesh. A 14-year-old minor teenager was held hostage in a farm, and was gangraped in UP’s Bulandshehr . Rapists reportedly arrested.
Hyderabad’s Good Police V/s Bad police of UP, Bihar, controversy. Rapes have become a national curse. Politicians have no time to visit the aggrieved. Chief ministers have no time to spare as they are busy politicking, wooing voters, wasting tax payers funds.
Strangely, no one accuses the Judiciary for delaying the prosecution of the accused by granting frequent adjournments on flimsy grounds. All Lords to themselves, not accountable to higher courts or the public.
No one blames the political and administrative Executive in Union Home Ministry for delaying processing of mercy petitions. All must be identified and prosecuted for non-performance. In the Nirbhaya case, MHA officers and successive union home ministers should be held accountable and punished for dereliction of duties. Conduct a case study in the Nirbhaya case and analyse the results.
Police, across the country is usually corrupt, inefficient and unprofessional . It is rarely effective and co-operative. Always interested in out-of-court settlements and extracting money from both parties.
Change Laws
Law makers in consultation with top Judiciary ,must change the laws relating to outraging the modesty of women by covering the following aspects :--
(a) All criminal proceeding must be completed within three months by the fast-track courts on day-to-day basis without adjournments. Delay must attract appropriate punishments. With no faith in the Rule of Law, the outraged public demands time-bound executions ;
(b) Death penalty must be the Rule rather than the Exception.Life sentence is a liability on public exchequer.They all emerge as hardened criminals. Punishment like physical and chemical castrations do not eliminate the menace of rapes;
(c) The juveniles and adults must be treated at par for applying the Laws ; No distinction, based on age criteria. Instant gratification is the common factor ;
(d) Level of Inquiry Officers (IO) must be upgraded from Sub-inspectors to SHOs (Inspectors). Normally, hawaldaars are sent to crime sites for inquiries
(e ) Laws on granting bails must be made extremely stringent in cases of rapes,molestations and other acts of outraging the modesty of women;
(f ) Duty officers in all police stations who dilly dally in filing FIRs,complaints to fudge records to show low crime rates or even refusing to give a patient hearing to the victims and their kins,must be identified and sacked straightaway.They do not deserve milk of human kindness by applying the Principle of Equity and Natural Justice. Instal Audeo and CCTVs at all police stations for factual recordings.
(g) Surprise checks of thanas’ functionings by senior officers and usually absent beat constables. They are more interested in collecting haftasThe senior police officers are usually more crazy about appearing on TV channels for briefings,sometimes irrelevant. Let such jobs be left to SHOs with Questions and Answers by the media and public .
(h) Quantum of punishment like life imprisonments and/or death penalties, must be finalized and executed within three months.
The public is feeling hugely outraged by incidents of rapes from Telangana’s Hyderabad to UP’s Unnao to Bulandshehr and Bihar’s Darbhanga. All in quick succession.
The rage is not impotent, this time. The Public must keep up the pressure on Law makers,Judiciary , political and the administrative Executive must take the call.Media will ,no doubt continue to play its role,as always.

CAB debate handled in an impressive manner
While one may not have any view for or against Citizen Amendment Bill one could not but be impressed the way Amit Shah handled the entire debate both in the LOK Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Watching him in Rajya Sabha one could not but be full of admiration for his superb defence of the bill. He had done so much of home work and answered each and every member who raised some or the other misgivings on this contentious bill.His superb floor management ,his articulation with factual details carried the day for the ruling party. He has shown all these skills even as party president. The way he manages elections and built up the party organisation leaves one dumbfounded. We may not agree with some of the policies propounded by this Government but one thing we can not deny that after a long time we have a very able and pro-active Home minister .

Indignities suffered by JS and AS level officers immense
The indignities suffered by Joint Secy and Addl Secy level officers working in Deptt. headed by officer of a department ally controlled service officer are immense. Neither the officer suffering at the hands of the Secretary can voice his grievance to the minister who will see the matter through the erring Secretary only nor can he seek a transfer out of the Deptt nor the Secretary will ever be changed till he retires. PMO would have done a great service to the cause of good governance if this issue is solved and duly notified for the guidance of all concerned.

“Whither PM Modi’s Good governance ?
No Government decision can be perfect. These usually have loopholes for exploitation by sly, manipulative forces.
Influence of elected on the appointed executive and latters' pliability to political masters shape the final decision.
On economic front, top industrial houses operate through mafia, in the guise of stake-holders.
Rampant quid pro quo deals between top business houses and the politico- bureaucratic Executive. Open secret for gullible masses.
No place for Ethics and morality in Governance.
Uninformed public is expected to fall in line and remain callous,insensitive .Top Judiciary is helpless in preventing the subordinate courts from indulging in corrupt practices in granting bails, long adjournments etc.
With fast growing economic slowdown, GDP growth rate slips to 4.5 %, in second quarter of current fiscal , lowest ever during the past 6 years.
Where is India heading for,one does not know?
God is clueless. It has failed again.
And, so has PM Modi.

Crime in Delhi and NCR increases manifold
The crime in Delhi and NCR has increased so much that one is afraid of going out. The bike-borne snatchers are on the prowl almost everywhere snatching bags, chains ,mobile phones from people standing walking or even travelling in cycle rikshaws, autos or even cars. Their modus operandi is very scary. One man drives the scooty or motorcycle, slows it down next to the identified victim and the pillion rider does the snatching. You resist and you may be dragged, stabbed or even fired at. The car drivers are also not safe. You stop since traffic is not moving. They knock at your glass window, you pull it down and they will say your tyre is punctured sir, madam. You get down to see and the other man picks up whatever is lying on your next seat-your laptop, your phone or whatever you have. So far I was reading about all these incidents happening every day in the newspapers .The other day I had the first hand experience of such crime. We(me and the husband) left our usual daytime workplace in Delhi-The India International Centre for home in Noida at 4.30 P.M. After travelling through the Barapullah we had just got on the Delhi-Noida- Delhi (DND) Flyway when one of our tyres got flat. Our Driver stopped the Car to change the tyre. It was quite a surprise for the tubeless tyre of our one year old car to get punctured( we found later on that it was cut with a sharp weapon) .Both of us got down from the car and standing at the back while the tyre was being changed. Suddenly I found a young boy peeping into the car through the driver's window which was open. I moved to that side and the boy moved away and stood at some distance. Meanwhile a scooter rider came and stood near my husband and asking him directions to distract him. This distracted me and i just moved a little bit away from the window. In that split-seconds movement the boy just leaped through the window and pulled out the laptop bag lying on the seat next to the driver's seat and the fellow with the scooter moved to let the boy sit on the pillion with the laptop and drove leaving us stunned and traumatised. For police it was just another FIR. It is really strange to see the apathy on the part of police to these spiralling crime rate in the City. Only last night a cab driver and his passenger whom he was ferrying to the airport were beaten and robbed near a CNG station in the diplomatic enclave of Delhi. On DND Flyway such incidents are happening daily. Why cannot they keep police petrol vehicles to instill some fear. Incidentally the two persons who robbed us of our laptop were not wearing helmets. Why were they not caught ? Even after stringent M.V act this is happening.

Gross violation of DoPT rules and SC Judgements
The ACC is denying promotions to officers in the garb of deferring though no charge sheet is pending. This is in gross violation of DoPT rules and several Supreme Court judgments such as Janaki Raman, Anil Kumar Sarkar. The PMO is not bothered about following its own guidelines then where is rule of law? I am using a pseudonym because I fear persecution. Kindly question PMO on your website.

Colonies not illegal, mal-governance is
Too much is being made of regularization of illegal colonies in Delhi and every party is rushing to get the credit for it. The adjective “illegal” is somewhat misplaced. These colonies are not illegal. They were developed by individuals who took the initiative to build their houses as the Delhi Development Authority had failed miserably in delivering the required number of housing units regularly in sufficient numbers. The DDA is the sole land-owning authority. That power monopoly was enough for the Neta-Babu-Land Mafia nexus to create artificial scarcity by failing to perform their duty in time. Had the DDA delivered the houses required, no “illegal” colonies would have come up. After decades the government is now promoting private developers and giving clearances on line, which means these colonies came up because of lack of these laws and facilities. Were these available to them their colonies too would have been perfectly “legal”. Today banks finance housing. What DDA has done in Delhi has also happened in most of the states where the Housing Boards failed to discharge their obligations. The owners deserve an iota of commiseration for having put up with all kinds of inconveniences. Who would apologise for the suffering of 40 Lakh people living in these colonies? Empires have apologised for past misdeeds.

Pre-filled ITR2
Forms A very good idea to start from this financial year. It is very essential and necessary to be successful in schemes like faceless scrutiny and pre-filling of ITR2 forms, the rules should be simple and easy to follow and implement. This can be explained and judged from a very very simple example that the things are not in line. LTCG less than 1 lakh from transfer of equity or equity oriented mutual fund, is tax exempted. It means no tax liability from the tax payers side and no tax revenue for the Govt. but still tax authorities wants all details to be filled in. What is the purpose of such exercise except wasting of man power and time which otherwise can be used for some other useful work. There may be one entry may be fifty entries for which data has to be captured and matched. There are chances of mistakes and a small mistake can create havoc for the tax payers. LTCG under this category should only be asked for reporting purpose not for other details as was being followed till FY 2017-18. There are other are area where Govt, should work for innovative solution to find out the methodologies and procedures to find the real income of professionals like film artists, doctors, lawyers, traders, sports persons, contractors etc. as no tools are available at present to assess the correctness of their income. These are the areas where lot of work and innovation is needed to reduce the leakage of tax revenue instead of spending time in unproductive work like asking for unnecessary details where no tax liability on the assessee. To get away from LTCG complexes is, make LTCG tax free instead increase STT to recover the expected loss of revenue. It is simplest way to collect the tax as it is directly collected at the time of each transactions without disturbing the tax payers. Many such things have to be found out to make the faceless scrutiny and pre-filling of ITR2 successful. All the best to work out for best solution.
