No judicial inquiry to purulia arms drop, says Indian government

Pranab on 30-Apr-2011 has said that there is no need for a judicial enquiry as the left (communist) party did ask for a judicial enquiry on purulia arms drop case for past several years, may be it’s the limitation act that pranab is referring to and said that since 3 state assembly elections are over (after the purulia arms drop incident) and the 4 state assembly election is in process but communist parties did ask for judicial enquiry during the past elections. now that 4 election is in process they have lost the locus standi to ask for a judicial enquiry.

is it not the duty of the government to probe into such serious case when the key accused has made some shocking revelations on the incident?

The present government is counter questioning the silence/in action of certain political party for all this while and involves finger pointing politics.

49(O) an example of unequal treatment

Rule 49 (O) of the Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961, gives the right to a voter not to vote for any of the contesting candidates. when someone wanted to excise this right under 49(O) will be subjected unacceptable and unjustifiable discrimination.

The first problem would be the lack of cooperation from the election commission staffs, a person will have to make a firm request and only then there will action from the election staffs. I have come across an incident when a person what to excise 49(0) and request the booth office for information. The booth office remained salient, on seeing this, the person developed a fear and decide to vote for some. final that person made vote for candidate. Had the office been cooperative or supportive the person would have recorded his choice but now he forced to choose.

The second problem is that the voters identity would be revealed to booth agent and election commission staffs. when a person choose 49(0), he does go the voting machine. This is an indication that a person has opted 49(0). the list of the voters is already with booth agent and it easy for them to make record of persons who have made a choice of 49(0).  which could used to discriminate people. The best example is the recent filed PIL in Madras high court, There was information that the police is collecting the list of persons who have voted for or in accordance with 49(0).  The petitioner said in court that “We learnt from Tamil newspapers that the director general of police and superintendent of police, Q Branch, have unleashed an unsustainable imagination that those who opted for Rule 49(O) could have links with Naxalites and are branded as violators of law”.

This is clear case of unequal treatment, can anybody gather a list of person who has voted for party X, it will not be possible at all, but why unjustly risk those persons who has voted against all the candidates (that is 49(0) ). The election commission and the government should think of getting the 49(0) option in the voting machine itself so that the voters are not unjustly or unreasonably affected.

Congress reply to Purulia arms drop case

Congress, the ruling party has asked following question in reply to the purulia arms drop case revelations made by a news channel ,

1. The congress party wants to know why this has surfaced now and not before (this question was asked by congress party spokesperson Jayanthi).

What a bizarre question, any one hear this question will laugh at the party and it’s spokesperson. Any responsible party who has nothing to hide would have said we support a through inquiry in to the matter. Trying to take a political millage out this sensitive case is condemnable.

2. BJP and Left are answerable…

when congress is asked a question about a cover up of the purulia arms drop case the congress replies in a strange manner, counter questioning and asking the opposition party to own up for mistake that was done during the then congress government under Narasimha rao. 

 

Clear case of cover up

The information regarding the purulia arms drop case is kept secret and only known to high power politicians of then congress government under Narasimha rao and the investigating agencies. If there was no wrong done by the then congress government, the present government should disclose all information regarding the case but it has not done it so far. The government is preparing a reply of revelation made by news channel on purulia case, but the question is for how many days will take for preparing a reply. The government is very keen in not replying and i am sure the government will reply only on the 10th May and not before the polls in west bengal is over. I am making a prediction that government show importance to PAC issue and divert the purulia at least till 10 of may.

PAC Mess … JPC will be a bigger mess…

It’s a mess again, it resembled yet an another obstructed parliamentary proceedings. It’s really unfair and unbearable  on the part of the congress and DMK, the two most affected parties of 2G scam. The parliamentarians have now turned into gangsters and making mockery of democracy . how long the people will bare the unacceptable behaviour of the parliamentarians.

Government lacks the will

Has the congress government got the will to investigate and punish the guilty in the 2G spectrum allocation scam. The political agenda of the congress party will certainly not allow the fair trail and will allow big fishes to slip away. Congress government have tackled very similar situation in the past and successfully evaded the trail and cleaned it’s name.

Yet an another cover up

The congress government would definitely will end it up by a big cover up. It has already found way to cover it up. The reason they would state is simple, “The policy framed by BJP was wrong “ and “judiciary cannot review the policy matter of the government”. happy end as in most of our Indian cinema.
