LIGHTING FIRE
The last email was submitted to Her Excellency the President of India on 7 April, 2010. A meeting of the Union Cabinet ensued on 8 April, 2010.
The Cabinet decided to spend about $ 1.5 billion for the developments of a few roads. This is an answer to the poor budget allocations mentioned in the last email.
However, the Cabinet decided to go ahead with the 3G spectrum auction. The Government auctioned the spectrum in the past. Thus a woman leader did a great public wrong in this matter. Now she quickly adds a few more little ones. The leader believes that this would make the auction constitutional. Alternatively, the Cabinet is exploiting her ignorance.
The Supreme Court and a High Court cleared some writ petitions pertaining to the auction on the penultimate day. The courts did a great harm to the people by approving this policy. Now, they are adding a few more little ones. The courts also believe that the new additions would make the auctions an ordinary business. Further, the courts did not publish the arguments. Therefore, the writ petitions might have been mock cases. The Supreme Court –like the present Prime Minister of India – is situated in a mode of passion in this matter.
The Cabinet, further, decided to sell 10 per cent shares of the public sector Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL). A woman leader did a great public wrong by selling the shares unconstitutionally. Now she forced the Cabinet to add quickly a few little ones. Alternatively, the Cabinet is exploiting her ignorance in this matter also.
It follows that if someone said that the act of giving the Provident Fund to a private party is unconstitutional, she would give it to a few more people. The Pension Fund also would suffer like this.
The Government on 8 April, 2010 said that the militant people wanted to overthrow the established authority of the Government through armed liberation struggle.
The Government now wanted to use the Indian Army and the Air Force to eliminate the militant people. However, the Chief of the Army Staff said that any use of lethal weapons in jungles would lead to the death of Indian citizens only. The Chief of the Air Staff also expressed similar views. This prompted the Union Home Minister to resign from his post. The Prime Minister did not accept the resignation. Even the principal opposition party stood by him.
The above woman leader directed the Government to use the armed forces to eliminate militancy. As it did not materialize, she decided to quit politics for good. In sympathy with her, the Union Minister offered to resign. Alternatively, she did not do anything in this matter and the Government alone exploited her ignorance. In fact, at one time, she would accept responsibility for this. At another time, she would say that she was oblivious of everything.
In this connection, it must be noted that the Home Minister had said that the success of a leader depends upon his staying power. Therefore, he wanted to quit the Cabinet only because the whole edifice of manipulation was crashing down. The future alone would prove or disprove this conclusion.
The Union Government started the 3G spectrum auction on 9 April, 2010.
The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) approved the above auction. The duty of the CVC is detecting acts of corruption. Now, it is becoming a super body to approve all acts of big corruption.
The Prime Minister of India now wanted the leaders to offer practical suggestions to tackle inflation. He did not say whether inflation is good for the country or not. But, he expressed his willingness to obey others in this matter.
The militant people killed two people in the Bihar State
The Union Government on 12 April, 2010 decided to seek legal mandate from a court to settle a dispute between the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and Insurance Regulatory Development Authority (IRDA). The Government had been rejecting the role of the courts in economic matters. Now, the courts suit the requirements of the Government.
Now, a leader of the principal opposition party, for the first time, prefixed the word socio-economic with the word reforms. As the armed forces are changing, the leaders, apparently, are also changing.
The media is now discussing the pros and cons of using the armed forces to eliminate militancy. Some say that the Indian Army and the Air Force should become lethal legends. Some others say that the objective should be achieved through socio-economic changes. A few others prefer a mean path. Anyone going through this work would say that the armed forces have lighted fire.
It is said that a man, who lights no fire, performs no duty.
The facts from 7 April, 2010 to 14 April, 2010 are being submitted to Her Excellency the President of India on 15 April, 2010.
