Not a weak PM at all

WEAK P.M. NO WAY !!



I've been waiting patiently for people to change their views on our P.M. Some have by the course of time and happenings but many haven't. Just because in the very beginning he was given the post and not demanded it, we termed him as 'obvious weak'. But he has made his niche very well and answered his critics by actions and words both. His single handed holding to the INDO-US deal and convincing the LEFT (insider OPPOSITION) is not ignorable. In the natwar episode, when his decisiveness and authority was questioned he compelled the party to serve natwar a show cause notice. In the obc reservation issue he made sure that unaided institutes were kept out and staggered the implementation. Now he has defied all predictions and made a joint mechanism program with musharraf. Being utterly convincing and honest and given ample time and room, he'll turn out to be the best P.M.

SEZs boon or curse?

SEZs! GOOD or BAD??



It all started well with a vision of development but is slowly taking an ugly turn. To bring INDIA in global eyes by raising its exports & inviting FDI, Special Economic Zones (SEZs) form a good option. They'll also generate employment for lakhs besides overall development of the area when 300 of them get fully operational. But can we neglect their negative implications? Farmers are being displaced forcibly and awarded paltry sum of what the industrial houses are paying to the govts. Moreover by allowing every firm to invest in SEZ our revenue account is being denied of millions in cash. Strict Regulation is necessary to justify its name or they'll be called 'Special Exploitation Zones'. All state govts should pay heed to the advice of Sonia-Manmohan duo of no SEZ on prime fertile agricultural land and duly compensate the land owners.

afzal hanging issue

WHY JUST HANG??



The debate on Capital Punishment can go on & on but there's an urgent need to address the issue of M.Afzal's Death Sentence. As per the present law, capital punishment is valid (in rare of the rarest cases) & the clemency plea recognized too. So if the President considers the mercy issue there's no need for me & you to make hue & cry. The main aim of the judiciary in this case is to make sure the guilty is severely punished & more such attacks are deterred. This parliament attack killing calls for special status considering its sensitivity. It has to be made sure that more Afzal's are not born by mere provocation & revenge feeling & we don't create a martyr of a national culprit. More punishing would be to keep him languishing in severe imprisonment for whole of his life and make his identity lost & invalid. We just can't afford to repeat the 1984 Butt episode.
