MoF refuses to make commissioning letter for black money study public

The Union finance ministry has refused to make public the order for commissioning a study to find out the quantum of black money floating in the economy, saying it would be a breach of parliamentary privileges. Admitting that it does not have any "exact estimate" of black money which is in circulation inside the country or abroad, the ministry said it had commissioned a study to estimate the quantum of unaccounted income/wealth inside and outside the country and its ramifications on national security. This was done on the basis of recommendations of Parliament's standing committee on finance.

Why Akhilesh Yadav is showing special affection towards tainted IAS Sadakant ?

Lucknow: The Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh has always been cornered by political parties for failing to control law and order situation in the state and before the 2012 Assembly polls when exit polls predicted the comeback of the party again it was the same issue which was raised. However, when the party stormed back to the power in the 2012 assembly polls, the government claimed to have tightened the noose of the miscreants and alleged party workers but again failed to deliver on this front. The game of crowning of the tainted minister and then shunting them out to garner support and earn repute in the eye of the public, was already being played, meanwhile, one more game plan was introduced; it was reinstating the tainting official, last week in a major administrative reshuffle, Sadakant Shukla was again handed the charge of the department which saw him shunted to Central Home Ministry for dubious work. Sadakant was sent back to the state before the completion of his deputation. Sadakant Shukla has the history of charges of colluding with the Land Mafios. He was sent to Home Ministry as Joint Secretary but instead of indulging in law and order, he allegedly got engaged in the business of construction for alleged profit making. read full story at http://upcpri.blogspot.in/2013/04/why-akhilesh-yadav-has-shown-special.html

Govt disinterested in RTI meetings? : TOI:LUCKNOW:UTTAR PRADESH : INDIA

http://upcpri.blogspot.in/2013/04/govt-disinterested-in-rti-meetings.html UCKNOW: The Right to Information (RTI) Act has always been in bad shape in UP. The changing regimes have not done much to ameliorate the state of RTI affairs in the state. The biggest proof on that is defunct state of the state-level committee set up to review the implementation of RTI Act in the state. The committee which was constituted on July 7, 2008, and was intended to review the implementation of the Right to Information (RTI) Act has met on only three occasions till now whereas it was supposed to meet monthly/quarterly to take stock of RTI implementation........................................................................................................... read full story and watch relevant papers at weblink http://upcpri.blogspot.in/2013/04/govt-disinterested-in-rti-meetings.html

Activist seeks info on terror camps, MHA provides Shinde's clarification

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Activist-seeks-info-on-terror-camps-MHA-provides-Shindes-clarification/articleshow/19400886.cms Activist seeks info on terror camps, MHA provides Shinde's clarification Neha Shukla, TNN | Apr 5, 2013, 06.15 PM IST LUCKNOW: In what could be described as a double whammy for the Congress, after Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde made a U-turn on his comments on Hindu terrorism, the ministry of home affairs did not provide information about terror camps being operated by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Bharatiya Janata Party, when asked under the Right to Information (RTI) Act. The ministry, instead, provided the copy of Shinde's clarification and said the "home minister has issued a clarification on February 20, clarifying the position." The political furore over Shinde's comment on BJP and RSS conducting terror camps, though died down after the minister tendered an apology, caused embarrassment to the government. In an RTI response, the ministry denied information. The questions could be irrelevant since the minister has already apologised for his comment. Shinde had said, during Congress' Jaipur conclave, in January, "We have got an investigation report that be it the RSS or BJP, their training camps are promoting Hindu terrorism." He later clarified that he meant saffron and not Hindu terrorism. The comment was strong enough to leave BJP livid, which demanded that the minister either apologise or be sacked. Shinde later backpedalled and retracted his statement by issuing a clarification and also regretting his statement. In January, activist Urvashi Sharma had sought certified copies of all records available with the government based on which the home minister had accused RSS and BJP of conducting terror training camps and promoting "Hindu terrorism", from the PMO. The response which came more than two months after the application was made, said the government has no records available on any of the information sought. The query had also sought certified copies of information on location within India and/or abroad of RSS and BJP terror training camps; certified copies of records available with the government on action taken against BJP and RSS to ban them for running terror training camps; certified copies of prevailing national/international rules/regulations/treaties/ Government Orders as per which "terrorism" has been divided on the basis of religion/caste/creed/sect etc.; certified copies of list and all records available with the government on cases of infiltration and/or insurgency and case wise actions taken by government.

Government Of India Doesn't Have Proof Of Hindu Terrorism 'हिंदू आतंकवाद' के नाम पर बेनकाब हुई भारत सरकार, सामने आया झूठ

Government Of India Doesn't Have Proof Of Hindu Terrorism 'हिंदू आतंकवाद' के नाम पर बेनकाब हुई भारत सरकार, सामने आया झूठ केंद्रीय गृह मंत्री सुशील कुमार शिंदे बीजेपी और आरएसएस पर भले ही आतंक का ट्रेनिंग कैंप चलाने का आरोप लगाते हैं लेकिन भारत सरकार के पास इसे साबित करने के लिए कोई सुबूत नहीं है। इतना ही नहीं, केंद्र सरकार यह भी बताने में विफल रही कि देश में अल्‍पसंख्‍यकों पर अत्याचार की कुल कितनी वारदातें हुई हैं। ये सूचना का अधिकार कानून के तहत मांगी गई सूचना में सामने आया है। आरटीआई कार्यकर्ता उर्वशी शर्मा को दी गई जानकारी में केंद्र सरकार यह भी बताने में विफल रही कि देश में घुसपैठ की कुल कितनी घटनाएं हुईं और विद्रोह कहां-कहां हुआ।.................. read full story at http://upcpri.blogspot.in/2013/04/government-of-india-doesnt-have-proof.html
