INACTION IN ACTION, AND ACTION IN INACTION.

A Union Minister on 8 February, 2010 compared the president of the Congress Party to Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mugal Emperor. He added that the first Mugal Emperor was committed to Afghanistan but the last one was committed to India.

The public sector National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) decided to erect about 1500 billboards with pictures of the Prime Minister of India and a leader of the Congress Party on all National Highways at regular intervals. But the Office of the Prime Minister turned down this. All newspapers all over India reported this on 13 February, 2010.

Over bridges are necessary for highways over railway lines. But the NHAI is constructing big bridges for highways over small cross roads. Instead, there could be small over bridges or under bridges for cross roads. Thus the ways of the NHAI are not known. However, everyone knows that the local contractors are not benefited by the NHAI.

The above report about the Prime Minister served the purpose of boosting his image. The people, in general, felt that the Prime Minister was not running after any publicity.

In contrast, when a Prime Minister of India visited Trivandrum, he lifted his grandchildren and showed them to the people in a big public meeting. Some people were disappointed because this happened immediately after they lost the chance to see the legal heir to the throne of Travancore Kingdom as their future King. No leader is now going to this extent is a different matter.

It is clear that some beneficiaries of the present system planted the above story in all newspapers. The action of the Prime Minister frustrated the decision of the NHAI. But he did not identify the people behind the above story. This is the inaction associated with his action.

Further, the Prime Minister is not directing the media to bring this work to the notice of the people. This inaction of the Prime Minister is his action to block the flow of knowledge to the people.

Obviously, one could discern an element of action in his inaction and inaction in his action. This makes him a tainted leader.

Therefore, it is imperative that the portraits of all past and present tainted leaders must be removed from public offices.

Though it is a digression, it must be stated that France and Germany promised to save Greece from the present fiscal crisis. In Chapter 52, the present writer predicted the present fiscal crisis of Greece. Some other countries of the European Union will be also affected.

Coming back, the former President of India on 11 February, 2010 said that three women - Her Excellency the President of India, the Speaker of Parliament and a leader of the Congress Party- were leading the Nation to prosperity.

The media has been blacking out the speeches of the former President of India for the last few months. Now, as he clubbed the Congress leader with the President and the Speaker, the media reported this.

The present Chief Justice of Delhi High Court, during his farewell interaction on 12 February, 2010, mourned that a judge junior to him had been picked as the Judge of the Supreme Court. This shows that the present selection process is biased against some judges. However, he must have approached the court for remedy.

The Life Insurance Companies wanted tax relief in the impending Budget. Some newspapers reported this on 12 February, 2010.

In this connection, it must be stated that the Government shall grant any tax relief to any one. But it must be reiterated that no tax exemption shall be granted for investments in Insurance Companies and Mutual Funds. Now, the Government is forcing the people to pay tribute to some private parties through this. It is out and out unconstitutional. Her Excellency the President of India could seek the opinion of the unattached judges of the Supreme Court.

The inaction of the Prime Minister of India in the above matter is his action to transfer public money to some private parties. The beneficiaries, in turn, concertedly work for boosting his image. The Prime Minister shall not talk about consensus in this matter. If he could not do anything, he must initiate a debate in this matter.

A senior Union Minister said that he liked the Prime Minister because he did not impose his will on others and all his actions were through consensus.

One year ago the Prime Minister declared that he would not seek consensus to take any decision of national importance and went ahead with the nuclear deal. Now he attributes his inactions to lack of consensus.

Obviously, the Union Minister is attributing a good quality to the Prime Minister. It is said that a man does this mainly to ridicule another man. There exists a conspiracy to enhance the image of some leaders is a different matter.

A bomb blast killed12 people in Pune on 13, February, 2010.

“An intelligent man sees inaction in action, and action in inaction.” Some people might reject this as an abstract one. Now, it is clear that these words are a fact in real life situations.

The facts from 7 February, 2010 to 14 February, 2010 are being submitted to Her Excellency the President of India on 15 February, 2010.
