WORK PERMIT

Each country has a definite policy on issuance of work permits. Logically, permits are issued to those who can help in the development of the inviting country.

Indian Doctors are being invited to the USA because of their capability.

Indian scientists are almost managing NASA, upon invitation and capability.

Indian CA is welcomed in Asia Pacific region because of their capability.

India is justified availing services of trained pilots—experts in car manufacturers—bankers—engineers in specialised areas etc.

LATA MANGESHKAR WAS REFUSED VISIT VISA TO PAKISTAN.

WHAT IS INDIA’S POLICY?

Adnan Saami came to India, reportedly on work permit and has stayed back for years together.He is alleged to have bought immovable properties in Mumbai outside the provisions of RBI. Reportedly, he has gifted the property to his second wife, who herself is not an Indian citizen (she is from the Middle East).There must have been some validity of the work permit? What happens if his fourth marriage is to an Indian citizen? What is our policy?

Katrina Kaif is on work permit in India. Do we need imported actors for Indian films--largest film industry in the world--who finally decide not to move out and have best of both?Is she committing to producers within the work permit validity? What if her other seven sisters also decide to act in Hindi movies? Will they get work permits? What if she marries an India citizen? What is our policy?

Shakeel from Pakistan came to India to participate in some comedy show. Since when has India run short of comedians? (THERE ARE THOUSANDS IN POLITICS)What is our policy?

Veena Malik and Begum from Pakistan are in India to participate in BIGG BOSS. Has India’s TV programme standard fallen as low as to issue work permits to these two too? What is our policy?

There are some children also from Pakistan for some musical programme on TV.

DO WE NEED TO IMPORT PAKISTANIS FOR INDIAN TV PROGRAMMES?

LATA MANGESHKAR WAS REFUSED VISIT VISA BY PAKISTAN.

SHOULDN'T BOLLYWOOD OBJECT TO WORK PERMITS?

WHAT IS OUR POLICY?

TIME FOR SERIOUS THINKING

Winston Churchill, just before independence, said the following

Power will go to the hands of rascals, rouges, freebooters; all India leaders will be of low calibre & men of straw.

They will have sweet tongues &silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power &India will be lost in political squabbles.

A day would come when even air and water would be taxed in India.-

WINSTON CHURCHILL

In the recent past, India has seen some unprecedented incidents of the levels never seen before.

The power drama in Karnataka was an example of the level to which Indian democracy has fallen to. It is no point blaming one party or the other or the speaker or the governor. None of them behaved with any dignity or respect for rule of law. Reportedly, each MLA had a price tag of Rs 25 crores. Nothing could have shamed Karnataka state more than this episode.

CWG scam has been a point of discussions in the international media. Committee has been formed by the PM to investigate the scam. A lot of people say that this committee will help more to escape rather than pin point the guilty as we have started to lose faith in the system of governance.Rs 70, 000 crores,100 times greater than the budget, were spent without any one even asking a simple question--ON WHAT AND WHY?How was the money disbursed if it was not budgeted for?What purpose will the committee will serve is any one's guess.

It was shocking when Starnews ran a conversation amongst congressmen wanting to collect a few crores of Rs for a rally in Maharashtra. Congress, on expected lines have denied it, but it was on national television for all of us to see.”Guilty, if any must be punished" is so stero typed from congress that one would switch channel..

So much has been written about Telecom scam, Sugar scam, Defence deals, illegal mining and so on, but it is a committee after committee after committee with hardly anyone being charged unless he/she becomes politically irrelevant.

Corruption, lack of governance and non accountability of the Govt. have become part of an Indian's life.

It seems we Indians have worked over time to prove Churchill right.

PAPPU is still awaiting ROTI-KAPADA-MAKAN.

POWER CENTRES

India, in the last 60 yrs has had govt with varying political strength. In all the cases, the head of the govt, Prime Minister, has been peoples representative from Lok Sabha.

THE PRIME MINISTER

This Government is headed by Dr Manmohan Singh who is not from Lok Sabha and has to manage with support of over 20 parties who have their own political agenda. There are instances when even congress members have embarrassed their own party colleagues/ministers. Recent case is that of Kapil Sibal having been embarrassed by congress member on the education bill. Jairam Ramesh taking on PMO regarding projects in N-E. Ministers not belonging to congress don’t follow the Prime Minister and his policies or directions. If he had effective control, alleged corruption running into few lakh crores may not have happened (Telecom-Sugar-Satyam-CWG etc).This seems a result of him being an “appointed” Prime Minister rather than being “elected”. It shows Prime Minister as a weak authority, thus encouraging elements from within congress to create a separate power centre.

NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL.

This is being headed by Mrs Sonia Gandhi. It being “advisory” and “national” says a lot about its responsibilities and functions. At times NAC is not in same line of thinking as the govt lead by Dr Manmohan singh. Ministers of supporting parties may not be actually following the guidelines of NAC.A recent disagreement by Sharad Pawar on a suggestion by the NAC on food policy is an example of complete disconnect resulting into non cooperation between Govt, NAC and various supporting parties. There are congressmen who would rather be with power centre at 10 Janpath than at 7 RCR.

IN ALL THIS, A YOUNG DEVELOPING POLITICIAN IN THE MAKING HAS TAKEN CENTRE STAGE WHICH HAS CREATED ANOTHER STRONG POWER CENTRE.

RAHUL GANDHI--- CONG GEN SECRETARY.

A single statement from him does change the govt policy and of course the polity. He chooses the subject on whom he wants to speak. He has emerged as a strong power centre. Every statement of his gets discussed and focused upon. His views on Vedanta are well known, His statement that if a member of Gandhi family was in power, Babri would not have been demolished, his statement on Bangladesh creation was Gandhi family decision , his statement that Omar is doing a tough job and needs support, his statement equating RSS to SIMI are all very significant. But for his support, Omar would have been shown the door long back. Each of his action or statement gets major press coverage, but, never is criticised. Of the 543 MPs, only his tours are an event for the media, his breaking of security cordon is news; his getting into local train is news, his visits to Dalit homes is news. He along with his advisers and” young brigade” is another power centre. Media calls him YUVRAJ.

With three different power centres, what is message for this democratic country?
