Re: [IAC#RG] Dear Arvind : In the matter of Swati Maliwal

Dear Munish

I need to clarify your post as follows:

AAP is not "our" party and IAC has no role whatsoever in the funds Arvind Kejriwal has been raising for his party.

As the (now suspended) NRI fund raising coordinator / supremo for AAP you surely had access to lists of all NRI donations and should have no hesitation in placing those lists in public domain.

On a larger issue, when a party like AAP did attempt to place their sources of finance in public domain we all know it was the RSS moles within that party who quickly got it scuttled so that larger parties like BJP and Congres can continue with their opaque funding and election bonds.  IMHO Arvind took a pragmatic decision to expel as many RSS moles from AAP as he safely could to reinforce AAP's status as the A-team of Congress and B-team of BJP.

On the issue of why I wrote my email to Arvind. It was to remind him that it is very well settled there can be no backdoor entry in public employment. Art.14 guaranees equal opportunity generally, Art.16 guarantees equal opportunity in public employment specifically, Art. 309 specifies how public posts are to be filled, and so on.

There must be some special reason, known only to you, that Ms. Maliwal has been reappointed without inviting other applicants for the position or without any having public advertisement for the post ?

By this I mean is Ms. Maliwal your "aunt", your "sister", your "niece", your wife's sister's daughter or some other special relation that you can play around with public appointments and public money in this way ?

You know very well what kind of person Ms. Maliwal is, and we the voting public of Delhi are still waiting to hear from Ms. Maliwal's fair lips the names she promised us of the top politicians who she claimed were behind the GB Road brothels and were running them.

This kind of rank libertinism is not what the people of Delhi voted you to indulge in, and I hope you come to your senses before it is too late.

Hagiography is the practice of rewriting the history of rogues toi depict them as saints to future generations.

From your post I feel you are saying that Congress rule was the best rule for Tamil Nadu but under these Dravidian parties the state sunk to new lows of corruption and alcoholism.

Incidentally my many dear friends from Tamil Nadu tell me, confidentially since they cannot say so publicly, that it was Kamraj/Periyar anti-Brahmin policy which made all the moral and educated persons to forcibly leave the State, leading to intellectual vacuum and steep decline in education values (filled by these mushrooming colleges/universities run by benamis of politicians) and huge rise in alcoholism there.

The plight of Tamil Nadu Brahmins is same (or worse) than Kashmiri Pandits, and we must ask if it is because of so-called democracy that numerically larger lumpen classes are taking over, ruining the nation and spreading their corruption.

India Against Corruption


                                               REMEMBERING  KAMARAJ, FORMER CHIEF MINISTER OF TAMIL NADU


Cross section of people in Tamil Nadu celebrated the birth anniversary of Kamaraj on 15th July,2018 with dignity and feelings of gratitude for the services rendered by the great man to Tamil Nadu and the country and for his setting up a bench mark for quality governance in Tamil Nadu 

Both Kamaraj and Kakkan were born in very poor families and gained respect and prominence in public life by exhibiting qualities of simplicity and sincere devotion to the cause of the country. 

When Kamaraj was the Chief Minister and Kakkan was the minister in his cabinet, both of them discharged their duties and responsibilities with high level of personal honesty. The probity in public life which they exhibited throu oghout their life and as ministers was of highest class. 

With the honesty of purpose and sustained interest in the welfare of the deprived section of the society, many schemes were implemented successfully and in time ,which was possible due to the absence of any vested interests and absence of corruption at the political level. 

Today, those in the age group of sixty and above who have seen Kamaraj and Kakkan and who have experienced the benefits of their quality leadership and administration, feel extremely sad to see the conditions today in Tamil Nadu, where corruption has become the order of the day and more than one third of men population in Tamil Nadu have become liquor addicts. 

Of course, even in the days of Kamaraj as Chief Minister, he was heavily criticized and abused by the leaders of the Dravidian parties for no valid reason. While C.N.Annadurai was dignified in criticizing him , it was not so in the case of other leaders of the Dravidian party . But, people in Tamil Nadu looked at the abuses with the contempt that they deserve. 

Decline in the quality of governance and probity in public life started in Tamil Nadu after the passing away of C.N.Annadurai, who was the Chief Minister only for a very short period. 

Ever since then, the decline in the standards of politicians and government machinery have been steady and though it has already reached disturbingly low level, many wonder whether it would further go down to catastrophic level. 

Today, many politicians in Tamil Nadu at various levels, who have never taken up any job or involved themselves in any worthwhile profession to earn their livings, are now leading luxurious life style with huge wealth and property , though they have no known sources of income. Quite a number of them are chancellors and pro chancellors of universities with their sons and daughters waiting to succeed them. Learned professors are saluting them. 

Today, in Tamil Nadu, politics has become such a lucrative profession that every member of the leader of the political party want to enter politics with tacit encouragement from the families. Now,new political parties are emerging at disturbingly frequent level, with politicians as founders ,who have nothing to claim as their own except the ill gotten money. 

Under the circumstances, it is not surprising that people who have seen the days of Kamaraj and Kakkan feel extremely disturbed at the present state of affairs and they wonder whether Tamil Nadu can get back the glorious days of Kamaraj and Kakkan at all. 

When Kamaraj and Kakkan passed away , they had no significant property or wealth and Kamaraj had only a few shirts and dhoties with currency of around Rs. 100 or so. One can readily see the difference these days if we look at today's politicians, who can go nowhere near Kamaraj and Kakkan for their standards of thoughts and actions. 

Have we already lost Tamil Nadu as a place of glory and dignity that it was once known for.

When Arvind Kejriwal arrived on the scene as an honest, ordinary man I feared that the our ''Politicians, mostly crooked, would not allow a new 'do-gooder''to survive as that would impinge on their 'way of life' so as to say, and we find that has transpired. To improve our way of governance, We the People, must change; become basically honest, truthful AND committed to be an honest, hardworking, unselfish member of society, each one of us. I perceive that such a movement is germinating, we must egg it on, each one of us. Hopefully such a movement will flourish and make us, Indians, people to admire and help to bring this beautiful country an able, well ordered, well-managed bountiful place in the World. We have the intrinsic ability and we can do it.---Hirak Nag.

Now,new political parties are emerging at disturbingly frequent level, with politicians as founders ,who have nothing to claim as their own except the ill gotten money. 

Under the circumstances, it is not surprising that people who have seen the days of Kamaraj and Kakkan feel extremely disturbed at the present state of affairs and they wonder whether Tamil Nadu can get back the glorious days of Kamaraj and Kakkan at all. 

When Kamaraj and Kakkan passed away , they had no significant property or wealth and Kamaraj had only a few shirts and dhoties with currency of around Rs. 100 or so. One can readily see the difference these days if we look at today's politicians, who can go nowhere near Kamaraj and Kakkan for their standards of thoughts and actions. 

Have we already lost Tamil Nadu as a place of glory and dignity that it was once known for.
