219. The Top Newspapers of the World


219

A GLOBAL PHENOMENON

    The last mail was submitted to His Excellency the President of India on 29 March 2013. The same mail was sent to the Supreme Court of India, Indian Army and Indian Air Force.   Later, it was sent through post to the President of India and the Chief Justice of India; and posted in the blog www. howeverythinghappenedinindia.blogspot.com

        Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, on 30 March 2013, asked the people to judge his performance.
    He should have granted freedom before talking like this.

     The principal opposition party, the BJP- demanded Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to appear before the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probing the 2G case.  The latter rejected it.
        If there is any illegality, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh must be the first accused in this case. But, what he says is law.

    Bombay High Court, on 2 April 2013, allowed the State Bank of India (SBI), to sell the shares of the UB group pledged by Mr.Vijay Mallya to buy aircraft.
    Now, Mallya can perish, and not others.

   The newspapers on the same day said that a consortium of 14 banks had lent about Re. 7000 crore to Mr. Vijay Mallya to buy aircraft.
   It is clear that the industrialists removed money from different banks as if they were an amalgamated entity.
   At the same time, the public sector banks and the LIC demand different documents to discourage people from availing themselves of any loan. They take months to receive an application and years to process. Therefore, all loan applications must be through online and they must be sanctioned based on district-wide, state-wide or country-wide seniority.

    Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, on 3 April 2013, inaugurated the annual meeting of the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) at New Delhi.
    The Prime Minister had to assuage their feelings.  Therefore – as in the “Paradise Lost”,  he said,
    “The CII helped the nation to achieve its full economic potential.
   Both government and business have to be partners in writing the story of development.
   I benefitted greatly from this partnership as Finance Minister in the 1990 and I welcome it today as Prime Minister of India.
  I know that the industry is deeply interested in the state of our economy.
    We are a private sector- led economy and the driver of growth is indeed private investment.
   The presence of Indian business abroad is a projection of India’s success. This must reflect on the social responsibility                      of business.
         The environment today is not what it should be.
  There are indeed many deficiencies.
 Corruption is a problem.
Bureaucratic inertia is a problem.
Managing a coalition is not easy.
The fiscal deficit is unacceptable.
The decision making has slowed down.
There is decline in investment.
The growth has slipped to 5 per cent.
These need correction.
  But these problems have not arisen suddenly.   They were there even earlier.
    We can get back to 8 per cent growth.
   If the business mood was unduly optimistic in 2007, I think it is unduly pessimistic today.
      You should not be swamped by a mood of negativism. 
  I urge you to repose your faith in our determination”.
      Addressing the CII, BJP leader Mr. Arun Jaitly said that the differences between the coalition partners had dragged the economic growth down.
   The industrialists had invited Congress leader Mr. Raghul Gandhi also for the meeting. They wanted to subdue him to their own will.  
  At the outset he praised them for taking the country forward.
     After that, as if to show that he inherited bravery, he asked “whether the system could give the people the voice”.
       They did not expect him to talk in contraction of their plans. In fact, they became conscious of their disappointment and challenged him to repeat it. Thus the front page headline news of The New Indian Express dated 5-4- 2013 was “Boss Could You be a Little More Specific”
    Why does he fail to exhibit his strength of mind in “a Little More Specific” way as challenged by  the paper is not known.

     Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal, on 4 April 2013, said that he was afraid of signing something because he did not know what would happen in courts after five years.
     The courts will have to put right the public wrongs one day or other. The fact that he had been instrumental in giving the PF money to private parties is disturbing his mind now.

    The New Indian Express, on 5 April 2013, asked the Prime Minister to assert his authority.
     Instead of making any public investment, he has secretly given unlimited public money to private parties. What do they expect more?

   The government of Tamil Nadu state appointed an IAS officer as the administrator of the Annamalai University- a private university.
    Further, the Vice Chancellor of the university was placed under suspension based on the findings of a special audit team.
    The decision is a commendable one. However, this must be emulated all over India to pre-empt irregularities in    the colleges, financial institutions and industries.
   Further, there are reports that the government had allotted money to protect 19 buildings constructed by the erstwhile   Travancore kings in the Kanyakumari District.  
    This decision also is consistent with the demand submitted to the previous government.  Conscious steps must be taken to protect all pre-independence structures down to the level of village offices and the ancient stone-sheds all over India.

    Police killed seven militant people in an encounter in the Chhattisgarh state on 4 April 2013. 

       Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, on 5 April 2013, said that he was “neither in nor out of Prime Minister Race”.
   The political power remains in the hand of the top industrialists. He would obey their dictates.

   The New Indian Express, in its editorial, on 6 April 2013, said that all alternatives to the existing system were not necessarily better.
    This shows that the industrialists stubbornly oppose the supervisory structure suggested by this writer.
   However, the government will have to implement it.

     Former Atomic Energy Regulatory Board Chairman A. Gopalakrishnan, on 6 April 2013, said that Koodamkulam Nuclear Power Plant needed inspection to rule out sub-standard reactors.
     The government ignores the doubts of the ordinary people. Now, it must clear his doubts before commissioning the plant.

      According to a study, the software engineers are suffering from diabetes, blood pressure, stress and anxiety.
     Quick action must be taken to send suitable officers to all companies to supervise the service condition of the employees.
    It must be noted that a software engineer will have paid about Re. 3 crore as income tax before his retirement. Is it not the duty of the government to give pension in his old age? The Prime Minister must immediately give an assurance to give pension so that they will be free from anxiety.

   A leader of the BJP, Mr.Vijay Goel, on 6 April 2013, said that the next government at the centre would be formed under Mr. L.K. Advani.
    It is pertinent to recall that Mr. L.K. Advani, on 6 May 2005, expressed the readiness of the BJP to support the government on any reform vital for the economic progress. The Re.3 lakh crore rotting in the Provident Fund (PF) went in the hand of the private parties only after this. 
   Is not Mr. L.K. Advani –as the leader of the principal opposition party - responsible for the PF money?
   A man should not doubt the integrity of every leader. However, he must clear this doubt from the mind of the people before accepting the post of the Prime Minister of India. Taking advantage of the secrecy of this work, he should not maintain silence.
         
   The Department of Income Tax, on 6 April 2013, sent two tax notices for Re.3900 crore to Aditya Birla Telecom. A few other companies also received notices for various amounts.
    A supervisory structure, as suggested by this writer, would have prevented these notices.

     Army Chief General Bikram Singh, on 7 April 2013, informed the people that there was peace and tranquillity on the Sino –Indian border.
   China supplies plastic materials without paying any  duty and sells through mendicants all over India. As India pays tribute like this, there is peace on the border.
   The soldiers in the border areas sleep beside snakes. They do not get even one third of their total emoluments as take home salary. They do not know where their money goes either. The Army Chief could find out the correctness or otherwise this, and send a reply.

  Finance Minister P. Chithambaram, on 8 April 2013, allayed the fears of the industrialists.

   Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, on 7 April 2013, requested the judiciary to revamp the Justice Delivery System. He added that it should not be an impulsive reaction.
    The judiciary that failed to give freedom must be revamped.
   Chief Justice of India Altmas Kabir, on 7 April 2013, said that the bridge between the judiciary and the executive was on the verge of collapse.

    Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu state, on 9 April 2013, said that a memorial would be erected for freedom fighter Kattabomman.
   Earlier, Army Chief Gen. Bikram Singh unveiled a statue of Field Marshal Manekshaw at New Delhi.
   The governments or the Army Chief could have erected suitable memorials for the heroes of the Battle of Colachel (31st July 1741A.D.) – King Marthanda Varma, Asan (Commander) Anantha Padmanabhan and  Dalawa (Chief Secretary) Rama Iyen.

    The Union Government decided to accord status of ‘martyr’ to soldiers and police personnel killed in the line of duty.
                   The above decision was taken presumably because the present writer talked about the “supreme sacrifice” in the last letter. The Army Chief also might have intervened based on the letter.
     
    As words cannot bake bread, the government must restore pension benefits before implementing it.

   Now, the TV channels and the newspapers are projecting Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the next Prime Minister of India. He –just like Mahatma Gandhi – has agreed to deny freedom to become the next Prime Minister of India.

    The present writer emailed some latter chapters of this work to one or two newspapers each in the countries like the USA, England, France, Australia. But none reported it to their readers.
    Thus, the denial of FREEDOM is a global phenomenon.

   The facts from 29 March 2013 to 9 April 2013 are being submitted to His Excellency the President of India and the Supreme Court of India on 10 April 2013.
    The same letter is being sent to the Chief Justice of India and the Chiefs of the Indian Army and Indian Air Force for necessary action.
