BSNL, Disinvestment, Parliament.

Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, in a parliament reply  has stated that there  is no proposal to disinvest BSNL. He also stated that BSNL is improving its financial position. This is the victory of the BSNL employees. Their continuous struggle against disinvestment and privatisation and for the revival of BSNL is bearing fruits. Congratulations to the BSNL workers and their unions and Forum.

However, we have to be ever vigilant. The government which pursues the neo-liberal policy aggressively may be waiting for a suitable time to re-start its disinvestment line for BSNL. Eternal vigilance is required.

Intolerance, Parliament., Return of awards

Cultural Minister Mahesh Sharma told the Parliament today that 40  artists and writers have returned their awards to protest against “recent mishappenings against the writers” and the Sahitya Akademi has requested them to reconsider their decision.

What action the government has taken to attend to the complaints of the artists and writers? That is the moot question to be answered.

Dalit issue, Parliament., Sitaram Yechury

download (7)

New Delhi, Sep 20: CPI(M) General Secretary Com. Sitaram Yechury today demanded that the NDA government call a special session of Parliament to discuss issues concerning Dalits, including reservation in private sector jobs and special plans for the community.

“We had raised this demand when Modi Government assumed office at the Centre and we will again raise this demand in Parliament,” he said addressing a ‘Dalit Sansad’, organised by Dalit Shoshan Mukti Manch here.

“Reservation has no meaning unless it is also allowed in private sector,” he said, adding that his party would continue to press the demand for a special session of Parliament for discussion on issues related to the Dalit community.

“We have been raising the demand of special (development) plans for SCs and STs for over two decades without any results and it needs to be discussed in a special session of Parliament,” the CPI(M) general secretary said.

Pointing to continuing “exploitation of Dalits in the country”, Yechury said, “India cannot develop into a strong modern nation unless Dalits are enabled to exercise their rights and protected from atrocities.”(PTI)

Monsoon Session of Parliament adjourned sine-die

Corruptions charges, Parliament.

Monsoon Session of the Parliament has been adjourned sine-die, without much work done. The NDA government is fully responsible for the wash-out, since it is because of its adamant and arrogant stand that no action will be taken against the the Cabinet Minister and two state Chief ministers involved in the alleged Lalit Modi issue and also Vyapam issue. The party which strongly protested against the corruption of Ministers in the UPA ministry, is trying to rescue its own ministers who are involved in scams.

‘It is the government which is not allowing the Parliament to function’ – Sitaram Yechuri

CPI(M), Parliament.

Rejecting allegations that opposition was not allowing Parliament to function, CPI(M) today said it was the government that was doing so and reminded BJP of the yardstick it used during 2G scam.

“If there is anyone which is not allowing Parliament to function, it is this government…BJP had the same position during the 2G scam when the entire winter session 2010 was washed out on similar demand … we are asking why the BJP is not using the same yardstick when they are in power,” CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury told newspersons here.

On the government’s insistence that all matters can be debated in the House, he said debate cannot substitute investigation as it cannot hold anyone guilty.

“We demand that the minister and chief ministers against whom allegations have been made resign as per the law of the land under which all government officials demit office and a high level inquiry held to decide who is guilty and who is not but the government is not ready to accept it,” he said.

Corruption issue – Parliament adjourned today also.

corruption, Parliament.

For the third day, both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha failed to transact any business due to the strong protests from the opposition parties demanding sacking of External Affairs Minister Sushama Swaraj and Chief Ministers Shivraj Singh Chouhan (MP) and Vasundhara Raje in connection with the Lalit Modi issue and the Vyapam scam.

The BJP which rose to power focusing against corruption of the Congress government can not hide now. It has to sack its corrupt Ministers. Prime Minister Modi has to answer to the people. If the BJP is sincere against corruption, it has to throw the corrupt ministers out. Instead, it is defending the corrupt Ministers.

Monsoon Session of Parliament starts on 21st July – Land Bill opposition continues

Monsoon Session, Parliament.

The monsoon session of the Parliament will start on 21st July, but it is unlikely that the BJP government will be able to pass its flagship amendment to Land Bill. The strong opposition from most of the opposition parties are continuing. The corporates will have to wait to grab the land of the farmers, though the BJP is determined to rob the farmers of their land.

The controversies regarding the four BJP leaders, Sushama Swaraj, Vasundhare Raje, Smriti Irani and Pankaja Munde may rock the Parliament. The self proclaimed clean image of the BJP is in tatters.
