Editorial :
A B C D of Democracy – A Lesson for all people’s representatives
HOW MPs ,MLAs , Ministers - PEOPLE’S REPRESENTATIVES MUST
FUNCTION
People are the kings , self rulers in a democracy . Peoples representatives must just represent the wishes , aspirations of people. Example : PEOPLE are nothing but land owners , MPs , MLAs , people’s representatives are just GPA Holders. The Electorate – Citizens of India are SUPREME than Parliament , Ministers and all Other Institutions. When people in Jaitapur , Maharashtra state of India and People of Koodankulam , Tamilnadu are totally against a nuke plant in their area and they don’t want it , still the authorities are forcing this project over their head.
Since 63 years of independence , In India the learned IAS babus & Netas are forcing their agendas , SEZs , Projects over the people for their own selfish gains , against the wishes of people. This is not DEMOCRACY.
In india, indirect democracy is the form of governance. In this
form, people's representatives are bound to raise the questions , issues
concerning their constituents on their behalf , on the floor of the house.
However the sad part in india even
after 63 years of democracy , is the lobbying is at it's
peak. The lobbying is a gentleman's white collared crook's way of forming
favour seeker's group , creating a corpus to pay lumpsum bribe &
influencing decision making.
The people's representatives are bound to represent their people first , then their party & party think tanks. India has come to this sorry state of affairs , widespread corruption , huge black economy & rampant poverty, all due to inefficient legislations & enforcements.
These think tanks & IAS lobby, consider themselves as most super brains on earth & gives out suggestions . the present state of affairs is a barometer of their brilliance. Take just one case for the brilliance of our cabinet ministers & IAS babus , In India nearly 50 crore people are barely surviving on a single piece meal per day , hundreds of people are dying due to HUNGER & MALNUTRITION at one end at the other end thousands of tonnes of food grains are rotting away , wasted in FCI Godowns (ie the food procured by the government) , what brilliant ministers & IAS officers ? These think tanks & IAS lobby are the hand maidens of lobbyists / bribers.
Now consider the following example :
Mr.raj gandhi is a member of parliament from mandya constituency in karnataka state. He is a MBA graduate & member of ruling Indian progressive party. The multinational giant M/S GREY HOUND CORPORATION wants to enter into paper manufacturing business in india. It's sight falls on the public sector paper giant mandya national paper mills (MNPM) in mandya district of karnataka. The MNC effectively lobbies with the government. The ruling party think tank & the cabinet advisory group recommends to the government to make strategic
disinvestment in the PSU M/S MNPM. They bring out graph with full power point presentation stating that it is good for the company as well as the government. The lobbyists follows it up with media reports on the positive aspect of strategic disinvestment. A favourable impression is created in the minds of literate public. The cabinet
committee okays it.
The " strategic dis investment issue " comes before the parliament for legislation / approval. The ruling party issues a party whip to it's members to vote in favour of dis investment. However M.P mr.raj gandhi who is an MBA in his own wisdom also favours the dis investment. However ,most importantly the constituents – people in mandya parliamentary constituency through protest marches , mass post card campaigns lakhs in numbers expresses their disagreement with the dis investment & urges their MP mr.gandhi to vote against the disinvestment legislation.
On the D-day in parliament , mr. Raj gandhi as per his party whip & his own wisdom votes in favour of strategic disinvestment legislation, much against the wishes of his people , constituents & mis represents them in parliament. the democracy has failed here. in This way democracy is being derailed since 62 years in india.
In democracy, party whip , MP or MLA's own wisdom / brilliance, think tank & IAS lobby recommendations are all secondary , the constituent's of his constituency , people's wishes aspirations are of primary importance & supreme. What people need is a honest
representative, who simply delivers the people's aspirations on the floor of the house back & forth , without superimposing it with his own ideas & party ideas. For true democracy , the people's representatives must be true postmans.
Towards this end , the people must be educated about their democratic rights & responsibilities. This is an appeal to the honest few in the parliament & state legislatures to weed out their corrupt colleagues , lobbyists, to uphold the dignity of the house & to install democracy in it's true form. Jai Hind. Vande Mataram.
Your’s Sincerely,

MPs shame India, vandalise Parliament over Telangana
They
streamed out, in quick succession, holding handkerchiefs to their noses. Some
emerged with their eyes watering. Others were coughing. The evacuation followed
a liberal spritzing of pepper spray inside parliament by law-maker L
Rajagopal. (Track
LIVE updates here)
A little after 12 pm, an ambulance tore away, its siren blaring the coda to what had unfolded inside the Lok Sabha. A glass table-top had been smashed. A mic had been yanked from a table and flung. And Mr Rajagopal, age 49, had sprung with his aerosol can in a scrum of parliamentarians fighting in the centre or the Well of the House. Reports that a knife had been pulled by an MP added to the chaos. (First pepper spray, then gas masks in Parliament: 10 developments)
Three parliamentarians were moved to hospital complaining of burning eyes. A fourth was admitted for severe chest pains.
At 12 pm, Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde tabled the bill that blueprints the creation of the Telangana state. Within seconds, the violence began. (Blog: A reporter's account of today's Lok Sabha violence)
The five-minute riot in Parliament was constructed by those who say they will not allow Parliament to discuss or vote on the proposal that bifurcates Andhra Pradesh by carving out one of its three regions, Telangana, as a new southern state. The architects of today's violence were unrepentant. "Why should I apologize?" asked Venugopal Reddy, who is a member of the Telugu Desam Party. "The government should apologize for the Telangana bill," he said defiantly, while rejecting allegations that he brandished a knife during the clashes. "I pulled out a mic," he said, with a sense of accomplishment. (Watch)
Politicians opposed to a Telangana state have been bingeing on bad behaviour since this Parliament session began on February 5, but today's exhibit of total anomie is unprecedented in the history of the Indian Parliament. "They have shamed India, they have shamed us," said Speaker Meira Kumar, who later suspended 16 lawmakers for the violence. (Acted in self-defense, says L Rajagopal, the 'pepper-spray MP')
"What happened today....the Congress has to take responsibility for it," said Rajnath Singh, the chief of the main opposition party, the BJP. (Read: On Telangana, government gets no help from BJP)
The move to downsize Andhra Pradesh, designed as vote-bait before the national election by the Congress, has proven so far to be a gross miscalculation, resulting in strident dissent from its own chief minister, Kiran Kumar Reddy. Like other politicians who want the plan nixed, his constituency lies in the non-Telangana regions of Seemandhra, which will form the residuary state.
The Congress needs the support of the BJP to push the Telangana proposal through Parliament before it wraps on February 21. The BJP had so far suggested it would back the bill if the Congress could ensure order in Parliament to allow for a debate, and if the government made special financial provisions to help Seemandhra, which is worried about a smaller share of water, power and revenue from Telangana once the new state is created.
After today's debacle, the BJP said the government has lost the right to try and clear any legislation other than the interim budget.

Honor of Indian Parliament
for sale by few members
It is a shame that years ago four members of parliament were caught
red handed on charges of human
trafficking that too misusing their official passports. We have seen in the
past various crimes by M.Ps - questions for money , kickbacks , Release of money under MPLAD
Scheme , etc. In the past we have seen vulgar behaviour of
some members in the house , state legislature , remember vulgar acts of Mr.Bora
Babu Singh & vulgar acts by some MLAs against Ms.Jayalalitha
.Now , it is “Cash for Vote” in trust vote &
nuclear cap bill . We ordinary citizens have utmost respect for all
constitutional bodies. Disrespect , contempt to constitutional bodies is
being shown by some of the constitutional functionaries themselves , they are
also making contempt of citizens of India. this present sorry state of affairs is due to the caste consciousness of the electorate. The public instead of seeing the honesty , integrity of electoral candidates looks just at his caste , in this trend they elect persons who belongs to their caste even though he is dishonest , untrustworthy
& a criminal . Now , the number of criminals , density of criminals ( who are masterminds in evading conviction ) is more in elected houses of people's representatives - parliament , state assemblies , panchayaths , corporations , etc than in the jails , outside public society . HRW is ready to prove this subject to conditions , in larger public interest. Our people's representatives must learn classroom discipline , punctuality of attendance , home work , from little kids
of primary school.
We have won the independence by the hard way , by the innumerable sacrifices made by great martyrs like mahatma Gandhi , Nehru , bhagath singh , etc. The criminals who have occupied constitutional positions don't have any right to squander that hard won independence of
Indians. The disgrace , contempt to august house of people's representatives is brought upon itself by the corrupt people's representatives themselves.
We at HRW , have highest regards for the institution of parliament , this is an appeal to the honest few in the parliament to bring to book their corrupt colleagues & to uphold the dignity of the house . JAI HIND. VANDE MATARAM.
Your's sincerely,
NAGARAJ.M.R.
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF CITIZENS Vs PRIVILEGES OF
CONSTITUTIONAL FUNCTIONARIES IN INDIA
Let the Legislators of states, members of parliament, High courts & Supreme Court Judges & other constitutional functionaries answer the following questions which are vital in a democracy.
1) What are the fundamental rights of a citizen guaranteed under the constitution (Article 21) ?
2) What are the privileges conferred on legislators & parliamentarians by the constitution of India?
a) Inside the House b) Outside the House
3) What are privileges conferred on constitutional functionaries, like
a) President of India b) Prime Minister of India
c) Chief Justice of India d) Chairman of NHRC
e) Central Vigilance Commissioners.
4) Are the privileges legal immunity conferred on above mentioned constitutional functionaries ?
a) Cover all their official actions irrespective of merit.
b) Cover both their official & personal actions.
5) Are the privileges defined & codified ?
6) Are these privileges above freedom of the press ?
7) Are the liberty & fundamental rights of the citizens guaranteed by the constitution, above the privileges of the constitutional functionaries or equal or below ?
8) Can the Indian legislatures & parliament be equated to the House of commons in England which is considered to be a superior court and court of records ?
9) Can the division of powers, namely the legislature, the executive and the Judiciary, be equated to the functioning of the House of commons and House of Lords in England ?
10) Can a citizen be said to have committed breach of privilege of the House or court and causing contempt of the house or court by raising the issues of accountability of constitutional functionaries ?
11) Can a Legislature or Parliament enact a new law, to circumvent or to nullify the Judicial orders with respect to wrongdoings by peoples representatives & executive ? does not it amount to infringement of Judicial powers & contempt of the court by the House.
12) Are the FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES of a citizen more important than constitutional duties of a constitutional functionary or equal in importance to it ?
13) Can a constitutional functionary commit crimes, anti-national activities in the name of constitutional duties, behind the legal veil of official's secret act & go unaccountable for his actions and go unpunished by his legal immunity privileges ?
14) Are the Legislators members of parliament, High court & Supreme court Judges and other constitutional functionaries not willing to codify their privileges for the reason that if codified their privileges would be curtailed and their action would be subjected to legal scrutiny. ?
15) By votes of citizens Legislators and parliamentarians get seats in the legislature and Parliament out of tax payer's money, they get their pay, perks & lead 5-Star luxurious lifestyles. Hence whether a vote of a citizen is above (More valid) or a seat of legislator or parliamentarian is above or more valid in a democracy ?
16) Judges & Constitutional functionaries are indirectly appointed by voters / tax payers. Out of tax payers money, they get their pay, perks & lead 5-star luxurious lifestyles. Hence, whether the vote of a citizen, fundamental duties of a tax payer is above (more valid) or a seat of judge / constitutional functionary is above (more
valid) in a democracy ?
17) If there is a vacuum in the Legislature or parliament, who is to fill up that vacuum till such time that the legislature or parliament acts provide a solution by performing its role by enacting proper legislation to cover the field (vacuum) ?
18) While it is an unhealthy practice for a Judge to claim to be a Judge in his own cause, is it not worse for the members of the legislature and parliament to be judges in their own cause ?
19) Are the Technicalities of the case more important to a judge or Justice to a citizen, protection of fundamental rights of citizen.?
20) Why not the constitutional functionaries initiate suo moto action with respect to numerous cases of injustices reported in Media ?
21) Why not the Judges admit various cases of Injustices affecting public, as the Public Interest Litigation" ? In some cases, the Public or the person representing them is unable to afford the high cost of the case. Why not free legal aid is given ?.
22) What is the criteria for admitting a P.I.L. & giving free legal aid ?
23) Communication - free flow of information is the lifeline of a democracy. Why the constitutional functionaries are not honouring the Right to Information of Citizens ?
Two BJP MLAs accused of watching porn in Gujarat assembly
REUTERS - The image of India's politicians took another beating on Wednesday after two Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs were accused of watching pornography in the Gujarat assembly, just weeks after three Karnataka lawmakers were caught viewing obscene videos and resigned.News channels broadcast footage on Wednesday showing Shankarbhai Chaudhary allegedly watching porn on a tablet computer with his colleague Jethabhai Bharwad while sitting in the state assembly.
Both politicians said the reports were "baseless".
"Nothing of this sort happened," Chaudhary told reporters. "This is being done to malign me."
Outrage over the incident, with a dose of mockery, fuelled updates on social media, with ‘#porngate', ‘BJP MLAs' and ‘Gujarat Assembly' trending on Twitter in India.
"So all buildings of state assembly have excellent Internet speeds," commented Twitter user @wastrelette.
Three BJP MLAs in Karnataka, including a women's affairs minister, resigned in February after being caught watching pornography on a mobile phone during a state assembly session.
Porn row: Three BJP ministers resign, barred from Assembly
A day after being caught on camera watching a porn clip in the
Karnataka Assembly, three BJP ministers resigned today after an embarrassed
party leadership cracked the whip.
A red-faced BJP swiftly went into a damage control mode asking
Cooperation Minister Laxman Savadi and Women and Child Development Minister C C
Patil to quit while Minister for Ports, Science and Technology Krishna Palemar
was axed for allegedly providing the blue film to them.
The three ministers were also barred by Speaker K G Bopaiah from
attending proceedings of the Assembly till a House inquiry committee submits
report on March 12.
In his ruling, Bopaiah asked the three to give an explanation by
February 13 and their reply would be placed before the proposed six-member
inquiry committee, comprising two members each from BJP, Congress and JDS.
Till then, the three are barred from attending the Assembly, Bopaiah
said in his order as the unsavoury episode rocked the House and provided a
fodder to the opposition to take on the ruling party.
Savadi and Patil were caught on camera yesterday while they were
viewing the porn video footage inside the state assembly during the
proceedings, an incident that battered the image of the Sadananda Gowda
Government and BJP and triggering widespread condemnation across the state.
"We don't want the party and the government to face further
embarrassment. All of us have decided to resign. We have handed over our
resignation letters to Chief Minister with a request to accept it,"
Savadi, Patil and Palemar told reporters. Savadi claimed they have done no
wrong.
The direction to the ministers to quit came after the BJP summoned
the trio and told them to put in their papers at a meeting attended by top
leaders including Gowda, state BJP President KS Eswarappa and former chief
minister B S Yeddyurappa.
The meeting took place close on the heels of BJP President Nitin
Gadkari speaking to Gowda and Eswarappa and directing them to initiate action
against the three ministers, party sources said.
Losing no time after the ministers fell in line, Chief Minister DV
Sadananda forwarded the resignations to Governor HR Bhardwaj who accepted them
immediately but that did not satisfy the opposition which created a big ruckus
in the assembly demanding the disqualification of the three as MLAs.
BJP Government, already hit by a series of corruption charges,
faced acute embarrassment as the fresh controversy exploded in its face after
regional TV channels, which recorded the act of the ministers flipping through
the porn clippings on their mobile phones, aired the footage yesterday.
Sadananda Gowda said the three ministers had sought a probe into
the issue as they maintain that they only watched a clipping that was sent to
their mobile and were confident of proving their innocence.
After meeting the party leaders, the three described themselves as
"loyal soldiers of the party" and said, "We do not want to further
embarrass the government and the party... But we have not committed any
crime".
The exit of the ministers did not satisfy an agressive opposition
which also demanded registering criminal cases against them apart from summary
disqualification.
Speaker's announcement of a committee to probe the issue also
failed to pacify the agitated opposition members with the Congress announcing
boycott of the panel.
"Why should there be a committee. They have admitted to
watching the clips. Please disqualify them," Opposition Congress leader
Siddaramaiah insisted and staged dharna in the company of JDS members in the
House.
The incident led to curtailing of the assembly session by two
days, as Bopaiah adjourned it sine die.
"Yes the incident has embarrassed the party", Eswarappa
admitted even as Gowda maintained that the three ministers resigned on their
"own".
Karnataka witnessed protests at several places by Congress
activists who condmened the incident.
With the exit of three more ministers, the list of BJP Ministers
in the state who have made dishonourable exit in the last four years has risen
to seven.
The present row has brought down the strength of the Gowda
ministry to 24, leaving 10 ministerial vacancies.
The central leadership showed the door to BS Yeddyurappa based on
the Lokayukta report on illegal mining.
Former minister SN Krishnaiah Setty had to resign from the
Yeddyurappa ministry after he faced charges of land scam, followed by Katta
Subramanya Naidu on similar allegations while rape charges forced H Halappa to
quit as minister.
Two Karnataka ministers caught watching porn film in assembly
BANGALORE: Two BJP ministers in Karnataka - Lakshman Savdi
and C C Patil - were allegedly caught watching porn film clips on the former's
mobile phone on the floor the state legislative assembly on Tuesday. While
Savdi holds the cooperatives' portfolio, Patil is the minister for women and
child development.
The ministers were caught in the act even as the house was
in the middle of a heated debate on the recent hoisting of the Pakistani flag
at Sindagi in Bijapur district. Close-up shots of the ministers watching blue
films were beamed on television channels in the evening and sparked a furore.
The television visuals showed both the ministers sitting next to each other,
gazing into Savdi's handset and bantering on. This is for the first time that
the Karnataka assembly is rocked by such a scandal.
Soon after the news broke, Opposition leader Siddaramaiah
and JD(S) leader YSV Datta demanded resignation of the ministers. They said the
ministers were elected by the people and such an act is nothing short of an
insult to the people. "Disgraceful. This should not have happened," said
D H Shankaramurthy, chairman of the legislative council.
The issue expected to generate lot of heat since the
legislature will be in session up to Friday. Speaker K G Bopaiah and both the
ministers could not be reached immediately for comments.
JANLOKPAL BILL - Need for Accountability of VVIPS
While drafting our constitution
of india , drafting members - freedom
fighters themselves assumed that in future also
the persons who will occupy constituional positions will be sincere & of high impeccable integrity. However they were
proved wrong. Late Prime Minister of Great Britain Mr.Winston Churchill has
been proved right.
"Power will go to the hands of
rascals, , rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre
and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight among
themselves for power and will be lost in political squabbles . A day would come
when even air & water will be taxed." Sir Winston made this statement
in the House of Commons just before the independence of India & Pakistan.
Nowadays , criminals have entered into
public service , working as police , magistrates , etc. Criminals have become
MPs , MLAs and are also working as Cabinet Ministers . Criminals have become
judges , some of them have become supreme court judges.
End result CRIMINALS POLICING THE OTHER CRIMINALS
, CRIMINALS DRAFTING LAWS , CRIMINALS JUDGING OTHERS.
Even there are cases of irregularities , illegaliteies by Prime Minister of India and Irregularities , illegalities committed by supreme court of india judges .
Example : JMM MPs bribery case , CWG
Scam , 2G Scam , Bofors Scandal , etc and Bhopal Gas Tragedy Judgement fixing
by then chief justice of india by
way of alteration of charges , financial irregularities ,
illegal dealings by supreme court judges , etc.
In this backdrop , continuing with legal immunity to
Prime minister of india , supreme court
judges or any constitutional persons is nothing but blanket clearance to those VVIPs to commit more crimes , more anti-national
acts wthout the fear of Law or Legal Prosecution. THIS LEGAL IMMUNITY IS & WILL BE AGAINST THE BASIC CONSTITUTIONAL LETTER & SPIRIT OF EQUALITY & EQUITABLE JUSTICE.
Are not some of the cabinet minsiters , so called constitutional experts , great advocates aware of this fundamental
violation of constitution of india. Ofcourse , these advocates
rightly fight for , take the cases of poor , commonman , they usually take
cases of MNCs , Big time criminals , etc. Let these constitutional experts show us a single government hospital without
corruption . Let the light of our constitution shine on our learned friends in the
parliament belonging to all political
parties. Corruption is there in every political party , in the same way there
are very few honest persons in all
political parties , judiciary , police & public service. Why you are afraid of
accountability to people , while you are enjoying 5-star luxurious lifestyles at tax
payer’s expense ?

Main A :
At the outset , we express our whole hearted respects to all constitutional institutions & to the honest few in public service. Contempt of constitutional institutions , citizens of India is being made by the corrupt persons in constitutional positions themselves. This is an appeal to the honest few in public service , constitutional positions , to bring their corrupt colleagues to book.
1. does the action
of MPs , MLAs taking money / receiving favors from vested interests , to
formulate policy decisions , to raise questions in parliament / legislative
bodies or to abstain from voting legal ?
2. why transparent
, fair investigation is not done in such cases ?
3. just remember ,
the vulgar acts of Mr.Bora Babu Singh in state legislature & how
some MLAs vulgarly behaved with
Ms.Jayalalita in state legislature , years ago. Are these type of
vulgar actions by MPs & MLAs legal ? does not these constitute
contempt of the house by MPs & MLAs themselves ?
4. all the people’s representatives from
panchayath member to president of India must read ABCD Of
Democracy provide along with.since independence of India till date ,
MPs & MLAs are forcing projects on people against the wishes of people ,
formulating policies against the wishes of people. Are not such projects ,
government policies & Laws , undemocratic & illegal ?
5. is the election
commission of India verifying the authenticity of affidavits
submitted by electoral candidates ?
6. how many
candidates have been caught so far for giving false affidavits ? are all the
violators prosecuted?
7. are the MPs ,
MLAs submitting their wealth details on affidavits yearly to vigilance
authorities ? defaulters , violators how many ?
8. what legal
action taken against violators , defaulters , for giving false affidavits ?

10. the
agricultural incomes of some MPs , MLAs , their kih & kin raises even
during the time of severe drought , floods , fall in prices of agricultural
products , their companies register increase in turnover / profits even during
recession , the trusts / NGOs set up by them receive huge donations. Are all
these income legal ?
Main B :
1. we do once
again offer our conditional services to the government of india ,
all state governments & supreme court of india , in
apprehending tax evaders , land grabbers , corrupt police , corrupt
judges , corrupt public servants , labor law violators , etc. whom
the the government officials , vigilance authorities have failed to apprehend.
Why the authorities , courts , supreme court of India , are not
ready to utilize our service ? are they afraid of being caught ?
2. the public
servants , courts theselves are delaying giving information / records to us in
many cases. So in the issues / cases raised by us , the clause of time bar doe
not apply. Are these delaying tactics of public servants , courts legal ?
3. why no proper ,
timely action was not taken based on numerous police complaints made by us ?
4. why DG &
IGP , Government of Karnataka , has not made any efforts to seek legal sanction
for prosecution of VVIPs ( mentioned in our complaint ) , from union &
state home ministries ?
5. the criminal
nexus is trying to silence me in many ways , but the supreme court
of India & national human
rights commission has failed to undo the injustices , why
? is it because it is not a high profile case ? is it because
it is not hi-fi , does not get image ratings , TRPs ?
6. the public
servants are aiding underworld , naxalites & terrorists , by their delaying
tactics & denial of information , records. What action has been taken
against such anti-national elements in public service ?
7. how many
complaints are made by Nagaraj .M.R. , Human Rights Activist

The cost of India's MPs
India’s MPs have given themselves a
threefold hike in salary, now earning 68 times the country’s average salary.
But no conditions of service have changed. In the USA, for example, members of
Congress cannot earn more than 15% from outside of their Congressional salary.
In India, the average assets of 304 MPs who contested in 2004 and then
re-contested in 2009 grew 300%!
On August 27, 2010, Indian Members
of Parliament voted themselves a threefold hike in their basic salary, from Rs
16,000 to Rs 50,000 and doubled the constituency and office expense allowances
to 40,000 each. MPs will thus receive an assured income of Rs 1.3 lakh (a
salary of Rs 50,000 plus constituency allowance of Rs 40,000 and office or
stationary allowance of Rs 40,000) a month.
The repayable advance for purchase
of a vehicle will go up from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 4 lakh with cheaper interest rate
on the loan. The pension for former MPs will go up from Rs. 8,000 to Rs 20,000
a month.
The increase in the salaries of MPs
and pension to former MPs would cost the government an additional Rs103.76
crore every year. The increase in the daily, constituency and office expenditure
allowances will cost the government an additional Rs 38.50 crore every year.
An MP’s wage is tax-free and comes
with additional perquisites such as free petrol, free telephone calls and free
housing, some of it in the most expensive real estate in the country’s capital.
Most household expenses – furniture, electricity, water, laundry - is also paid
for by the State. MPs can travel anywhere in the country by rail, first class,
and get 34 free air tickets for themselves or a companion a year. Spouses of
MPs can travel free by air from their residence to New Delhi eight times a year
when Parliament is in session and unlimited number of times by rail.
MPs also get a daily allowance of Rs 1,000 per day to attend Parliament and Rs 2 crore a year to spend on development of their constituencies as they see fit, a practice that many consider unconstitutional though the Supreme Court has upheld it.
MPs also get a daily allowance of Rs 1,000 per day to attend Parliament and Rs 2 crore a year to spend on development of their constituencies as they see fit, a practice that many consider unconstitutional though the Supreme Court has upheld it.
Significantly, during the debate
that preceded the passing of the Salary, Allowance and Pension of Members of Parliament
(Amendment) Bill, 2010, some parliamentarians voiced the opinion that an
independent body should be set up to decide on the future pay of MPs as there
had been considerable public criticism of the fact that MPs were possibly the
only section of society that decide their own salary increases.
Compared to developing countries,
Indian MPs have unparalled freedom to fix their own salaries and perks. In
France and Japan, salaries of MPs are determined in relation to the salaries of
the highest paid bureaucrats. In Germany, Article 48 (3) of the Basic Law says
that the members of Bundestag will get remuneration adequate enough to ensure
their independence. In Switzerland, parliamentarians do not get any salary or
allowance. They just get paid leave from their employers on the days of
session.
In Mexico, MPs are paid handsomely,
but they cannot do any business or practise any profession. They cannot even be
officebearers of any political party. In the USA, members of Congress cannot
earn more than 15% from outside of their Congressional salary. There is no such
bar on the MPs or MLAs in India. As Neerja Choudhury, political editor of the New
Indian Express pointed out in an article, MPs do not even have to answer
for any conflict of interest. An MP who has a defence equipment business is
allowed to be on a defence committee which formulates defence policy and a
parliamentarian who has aviation interests to be on a civil aviation committee,
thereby making policy changes which benefit them individually.
In the UK, the Review Body on Senior
Salaries established by law, advises the prime minister on the pay and pensions
of MPs, ministers, judges, defence personnel, senior civil officers and other
such high posts. It is an independent body consisting of non-MPs who have
served in high positions in the judicial and managerial offices with
distinction. Several MPs in the recent salary debate in India have suggested an
independent body to rule on the issue and the UK body could serve as a model.
Former Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee has suggested that there should be
a salary commission or a pay commission to decide MPs’ salary.
The wildly fluctuating salary
demands from Indian MPs underline the need for such an objective agency. Some
MPs have been demanding that their salaries be more than that of top
bureaucrats. Two former chief ministers and leaders of their respective
parties, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Lalu Prasad Yadav, demanded a 500% hike in
salaries for MPs and stalled proceedings in Parliament during the debate on the
current salary increase. They wanted the basic salary to be fixed at Rs 80,001,
one rupee more than the salary of a secretary in the Government of India.
However, while most MPs run businesses from where they derive income, for
bureaucrats, their salaries are usually their sole source of income. Moreover,
while a bureaucrat gets pension after serving for 30-35 years, an MP is
entitled to pension even if he has spent just one day in Parliament. Nor do
bureaucrats get a daily allowance for attending office every day as MPs do for
attending Parliament.
Much of the criticism of the salaries of MPs springs from the fact that the electorate – which incidentally puts them in power – does not think they are doing a good job. It has been pointed out that there is very little debate on most bills in the House unless a particular party has some interest at stake or can derive mileage from the issue. Private members bills are rare. The last one that was made into an Act was in 1970. Public perception of MPs using their positions to make money for themselves also adds to the indignation when MPs vote themselves a salary hike. Moreover, some 150 MPs elected last year have criminal cases against them, with 73 very serious cases ranging from rape to murder.

Moreover, some 150 MPs elected last year have criminal cases against them, with 73 very serious cases ranging from rape to murder.
Writing in the Times of India,
journalist, filmmaker and one-time Rajya Sabha MP, Pritish Nandy, estimates
that today, out of 543 MPs in the Lok Sabha or Lower House, 315 or 60% are
crorepatis or millionaires. Forty-three out of the 54 Rajya Sabha MPs elected
last year are also millionaires. Their average declared assets are over Rs 25
crore each. The assets of the average Lok Sabha MP have grown from Rs 1.86
crore in the last House to Rs 5.33 crore, an increase of 200%. Nandy also says
that MPs become richer in office. The average assets of 304 MPs who contested
in 2004 and then re-contested in 2009 grew 300%. Over 33% of those with assets
above Rs 5 crore won the last elections while 99.5% of those with assets below
Rs 10 lakhs lost!
The feudal mindset that still
pervades among large sections of India’s population, accepts that top
politicians are entitled to be treated like the maharajahs of old, who have it
in their power to dole out all sorts of favours to their subjects like
admissions to schools, water or gas connections, letters of recommendation for
jobs or concessions. The intelligentsia is angered at this attitude but can do
little.
Few people oppose decent salaries
for MPs. Up until 1968, MPs used to receive a monthly salary of Rs 400 and
another Rs 31 as daily allowance. From 1969 to 1985, they were entitled to Rs
500 as salary and Rs 51 daily allowance. In 1985, the salary was revised to Rs
1,500. Pension for MPs was introduced in 1977. The last salary revision took
place three years ago.
However, this may not be the best
time for MPs to vote themselves increases in pay when the country is reeling
under inflation and the prime minister himself has been critical of high
corporate salaries and asked government officials to curtail expenses on foreign
trips, hotel accommodation etc.
“After all that we are going
through (crushing inflation), to see our elected representatives proposing a
price hike for themselves is quite disheartening but not totally unexpected,”
Rajesh Ranjan, 37, a cart puller in Delhi told Sify.com in a survey of what
common people thought of the hike. His views were echoed by Ranjana Kumari,
director of the Centre for Social Research: “The proposed salary hike is
uncalled for and shows the insensitivity of the MPs to the problems of the
poor. When funding for essential projects is becoming scarce, this hike is an
unjustifiable extravagance at the expense of the taxpayer.”
There is a school of thought that
believes the salaries of MPs should be high, higher even than at present maybe,
but the perks and ability to grant favours must be eliminated or severely
curbed. Providing houses in Lutyens’ Delhi, for instance, is a needless
expense, when most states maintain an MPs hostel where out of town MPs can stay
when Parliament is in session.
There is also the question of
proportion - comparing the salary of MPs with the people they claim to
represent. According to one calculation, after the hikes of the MPs’ salaries,
perks and allowances, they will earn 68 times more than what an average person
earns annually.

Bangalore: Lawyers Assault Mediapersons, Police Lob Teargas Shells, Lathicharge
(With PTI Inputs): Following the assault on mediapersons by lawyers outside the court here on Friday March 2, the media fraternity across the state has launched a massive protest demanding action against lawyers.
Protests have been launched in Bangalore, Chikmagalur, Chikkaballapur, Belgaum, Shimoga, Mysore, Kolar, Dharwad, Bellary, Tumkur and many other districts.
Police burst teargas shells and used batons to quell violent crowds of advocates, who pelted stones and attacked media persons and police in the city civil court premises, leaving several of them injured including a DCP.
The trouble erupted when a section of lawyers assaulted media persons who were in the court complex to cover former minister and mining baron G Janardhana Reddy's appearance before a CBI court in an illegal mining case.
Some advocates tried to prevent lensmen and mediapersons from filming the visuals of Reddy and it soon turned into ugly scenes of scuffle and wordy duel between advocates, media persons and police before violence broke out.
Besides several media persons, some police personnel including Deputy Commissioner of Police Ramesh, were injured in the stone pelting, police said.
Going on the rampage, the lawyers also pelted stones at a government college located near the court, triggering protests from students.
As the situation went out of control and advocates started throwing stones from the court building, police rushed in and resorted to lathicharge to disperse them.
Top police officials, including City Police Commissioner Jyoti Prakash Mirji, rushed to the spot and were trying to bring the situation under control.
Expressing anguish over the attack, Karnataka Chief Minister Sadananda Gowda said stringent action will be taken against those responsible.
"I have asked Home Minister R Ashok to take action to bring the situation under control and initiate steps to protect journalists. The government will render necessary protection to mediapersons to ensure they can work in a free atmosphere," Gowda told reporters.
Gowda said he has convened a meeting of top officials, including Home Department Secretary, DGP and City Police Commissioner to discuss the violence that broke out in the court premises.
Condemning the attack on the journalists, former Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde said appropriate action should be taken by the law enforcement authority.
"Very unfortunate....coming from an educated class of people. It looks like an all out attack on media because they have been publishing against them," he said.
Ashok termed the attack on media and police as unfortunate and slammed the advocates for indulging in violence.
"Action will be taken as per law. It is unfortunate that such incidents by lawyers has been occurring at frequent intervals", he said apparently referring to the road blockade by lawyers in the busy Kempegowda road on January 17.
The violence had its effect in working in the City Civil Court complex as proceedings were suspended in several court halls.

The City Civil Court here turned into a battlefield on Friday as groups of lawyers launched a no-holds-barred attack on journalists who had come to cover the proceedings of the special CBI court where Bellary mining baron G. Janardhan Reddy was produced at 11 a.m.
The injured included Sessions Court judge R.B. Budhihal in a lathi-charge, nearly a dozen journalists, policemen as well as lawyers. Property worth several lakhs of rupees, particularly motorbikes and cars, was damaged or destroyed in the melee. At least 60 people were treated in various government hospitals in the city.
Judicial probe
Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda has ordered a judicial inquiry into the incident.
One of the first journalists to be hit on Friday was K.N. Kiran, a television reporter. Even as policemen watched, he was attacked by a group of lawyers around 10.30 a.m. when he tried to enter the court hall. “They kept telling me that the beating was for the negative coverage of the January 16 incident [when lawyers had gone on a similar rampage],” Mr. Kiran told The Hindu.
When the CBI court proceedings began, the judge ordered journalists to vacate the room. The lawyers then took it upon themselves to shove journalists out of the premises. Things were calm till the court proceedings concluded.
As soon as Mr. Janardhan Reddy was driven away by the CBI police, the lawyers once again demanded that all journalists leave the premises. At this point four women television reporters walked up to the lawyers and tried to reason with them. But this soon degenerated into a shouting match and some of the women were jostled and groped.
Then all hell broke loose and lawyers started attacking the journalists with whatever they could find — stones, flowerpots, helmets, sticks and furniture.
Throughout this the police played a passive role and did not attempt to contain the lawyers even when one projectile struck Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Division) G. Ramesh. It was only when Police Commissioner Jyothi Prakash Mirji came under attack that some constables started a lathi-charge.
Journalists retaliate
The police finally contained the lawyers by surrounding the court complex and launching at least four waves of baton charges. But just when matters began to settle (around 3.30 p.m.) a section of journalists joined some policemen in attacking anybody wearing a white shirt and black trousers. Together, they set fire to several vehicles that bore the sign “advocate”. Some journalists who tried to stop others from resorting to this arson were also thrashed by their own counterparts.
Lawyers of the Madras High Court - Law unto Themselves
by Radha Rajan
The
lawlessness bordering on terrorism inside Court Hall 3 of the Madras
High Court on 17 February 2009, and the violent clashes that erupted on
the 19th in the campus between a section of lawyers and the police which
lasted for over three hours, is rooted not just in caste, the all-time handy whipping boy for anti-Hindu and non-Hindu secularists and Dravidian ‘Tamils’, but also in the religion of the warring castes.
The time has come to break the studied silence of the Secularists and the Dravidians on the issue. Meanwhile, the rowdiness and sheer goondaism of the lawyers of Tamil Nadu as of this moment remains unabated as they continue to rampage across cities and towns vandalising shops, buildings, and police property, and threatening policemen and officers on duty. This section of lawyer-rowdies has not spared police housing quarters either. The Tamil Nadu Government has now issued shoot-at-sight orders to the police. It had no other option.
The Tamil Nadu Assembly on the 20th evicted MLAs belonging to the AIADMK, the PMK, MDMK, the CPI and CPI (M) from the House; the Speaker of the Assembly had earlier refused to allow them to raise the issue in the House or discuss it. While the political position of the Opposition, taking a uni-dimensional view of the complex problem by roundly condemning only the police force for the violence was predictable and along expected lines, the statement of former Chief Minister and AIADMK general secretary Ms. Jayalalithaa would have been laughable had the issue not been so serious, with far-reaching consequences.
Asking the Center to impose Article 356 in the State, Ms. Jayalalithaa also made the preposterous demand that a state of Emergency be declared in Tamil Nadu. She justified her demand on the ground, “This incident proves that the Tamil Nadu police have now become a violent force.” Ms. Jayalalithaa may think the people of Tamil Nadu have short memories, but it was she who ran Tamil Nadu like a police state in the wake of the arrest and immoral incarceration of the venerable Peethathipathi of the Kanchi matham to brutally quell all protests and demonstrations against her.
In the recent past, barely three months ago, on 13 November 2008, Ms. Jayalalithaa had castigated the State Government and the very same “violent” police force for their “inaction” and for being mute spectators when a group of scheduled caste students of the Madras Law College mounted a murderous attack against caste Hindu students inside the college campus under the very eyes of the police who were stationed outside the college; the police cannot enter educational institutions (like they cannot enter our courts) unless summoned by the head of the institution, the Dean or the Principal. Ms. Jayalalithaa faulted the police force for not entering the college campus despite being witness to the life-threatening attack. The police was damned then because it didn’t. The police force is damned today because it did.
The cause for the Law College clashes in November 2008 was overtly political and projected as a caste conflict, but the real cause for the homicidal attack was covert and religious. Unless the silence on this sensitive issue is broken and the truth spoken loud and clear, the poison that is coursing within the Tamil Nadu Bar and Judiciary, emaciating and wasting this important body, cannot be identified and neutralised; and this bodes very ill for democracy which ultimately rests on the character of the judges. Judges, let us recall, emerge only from among the ranks of lawyers; the Tamil Nadu pool contributing to the nation’s total tally of judges is today contaminated. Politically motivated or politically expedient diagnosis of this malaise will not check, much less cure, the disease.
The majority of scheduled caste students in all government-aided educational institutions are Christians; either first-generation or second generation converts. Tamil chauvinism, like Islam and Christianity, is driven only by politics and has only political objectives as its raison d’etre. Capturing the State, failing which secession from the mother country, is the objective of Tamil chauvinism. The LTTE is the most telling example of this contention. Unlike Marathi or Kannada chauvinism, Tamil chauvinism spills over into contiguous neighbouring Sri Lanka, and like the murderous and secessionist Nagas of the North-east who want to establish a Greater Nagaland, the Tamil chauvinists of Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu desire to establish a greater Tamil nation. It is not a coincidence that Tamil chauvinists, like the Nagas, are in the main Christians.
The coastal communities and entire districts of Tamil Nadu are almost totally Christian or Muslim, with irreligious, viciously anti-Hindu Dravidian Tamils constituting the cadre of the two main and other sundry, rising splinter Dravidian political parties who form the backbone of Tamil chauvinism - the DMK, the AIADMK, the PMK, the DMDK and MDMK. The communist parties habitually throw in their lot with the electorally successful anti-Hindu and anti-nation Dravidian party or coalition.
It bears mention that the LTTE has the backing of the Church in Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu, and also that the Sri Lankan Muslim population is almost totally Tamil-speaking. This is separatist, secessionist, Tamil chauvinist poison brew, and it is this brew which is contaminating all educational institutions, including the Madras Law College and other Law colleges in the state and all educational institutions.
The extent of Church penetration by way of the growing numbers of Christians in these parties and through direct and indirect funding of these political parties can be gauged from the fact that all Dravidian parties met the US Consul-General in Chennai on 20 February, pleading with him on bended knees, for American intervention in Sri Lanka to protect the Tamil people! They have thus signalled that their agenda in Sri Lanka is different from that of their national government. If these parties can ask for US intervention in Sri Lanka which is not in India’s national interest, tomorrow they may ask for the same in India if the national government is inimical to the political objectives of Islam or Christianity. Anti-Hindu Tamil chauvinism rests only on the support base of these so-called minority religions.
Non-Hindu and anti-Hindu Tamil chauvinist students go on to become Heads of Department, Deans, Vice-Chancellors and other important people in Tamil Nadu’s fully or partially aided educational institutions, while the same species of students in Tamil Nadu’s Law Colleges aspire to become Government Pleaders, judges in the subordinate judiciary and eventually, god help us all, judges of the Madras High Court and thereafter transferred on promotion to other States. The penultimate stop in the journey is eventual vertical ascension as lawyers or judges in the Supreme Court, culminating as Chief Justice of India. All right-thinking patriots in the nation’s Bar and Judiciary owe it to themselves and to the nation to cleanse the Madras Bar pool of this poison.
The clash between two sections of students in November 2008 in the Madras Law College was between students belonging to one caste which is Hindu and students belonging to the scheduled castes who are in the main, Christians or anti-Hindu irreligious Dravidian Tamil chauvinists. The coterie around Ms. Jayalalithaa comes from this Hindu community and given her new love for Christianity and the Church, the November clashes placed her literally on the horns of a political dilemma. She and the ruling DMK sought the most politically expedient escape route; they hanged the policeman. The then Commissioner of Police R Sekhar was removed summarily, as was Joint Commissioner (North) Abhay Kumar Singh.
Because Tamil Nadu’s dangerous anti-nation politics will not permit them to diagnose the problem correctly, the cure was just as faulty and destined to fail. Transferring senior police officers for the rowdyism, goondaism and terrorism of the students of Law College in November did not prevent or deter the shameful happening in Court Hall 3 on 17 February, or the events that followed it as a direct consequence of political inaction, silence, and even capitulation over the murderous attack by the scheduled caste lawyers on Dr. Subramanian Swamy, police men, women and officers and others in the court on that day.
The secular print and media, with no knowledge or understanding of the intricacies of Tamil Nadu’s politics and its contrived political links with Sri Lanka’s politics, are also guilty of choosing the easy route towards TRPs. They have been guilty of great disservice to their chosen profession by not informing or educating the people about the truth of the events. The police and the army are the favourite whipping boys, but the media must pause and introspect – what will be the state of the nation if the police and the army one day simply refused to act?
Which forces will benefit the most? The terrorist components of Islam, Christianity and Communism have forged partnerships and are a seamless web. Media coverage of the growing lawlessness of scheduled caste students and lawyers of the Tamil Nadu Law Colleges and the Bar is ridden with political clichés and hackneyed phrases of police excesses. The violence in the state is growing because Dr. Swamy allegedly referred to the lawyers derogatorily by their caste name, and the rowdies want Dr. Swamy arrested. The goonda lawyers are also burning the effigy of DGP K.P. Jain for ordering the Swift Action Group to move into the court premises in response to the vandals setting fire to the police station located inside the court. Under the circumstances, to prevent being blamed for inaction, the DGP had no other option but to deal with the rampaging mob in a manner he considered appropriate and effective.
Dr. Swamy is a “brahmin dog” and DGP Jain is an “invading Aryan.” The scheduled caste Christian converts and the anti-Hindu Dravidian scheduled caste Tamils have been supported by all Dravidian political parties with the right to verbally and obscenely abuse and physically assault Hindus. This organized group when faced by resistance promptly seeks refuge in the law, accusing the victims of having denigrated them by abusing them by their caste name. This is now a well-known and expected ploy and always succeeds in breaking the spirit of even the sturdiest Hindu resistance to their bullying and abuse. They are doing the same with Dr. Swamy now, and instead of asking to see the court order wherein the judges have attested to the lawyers abusing Dr. Swamy as “brahmin dog,” the media is propagating the lawyers’ version and adding fuel to the well-planned fire of caste war.
Caste Hindus [read OBCs – Editor] are known to retaliate in equal and appropriate measure to anti-Hindu provocations, but Brahmins are soft targets. The war here is not Brahmins against scheduled castes, but Christians and Dravidian Tamils against Hindus via Brahmins. The bonus in this war is beating up policemen and burning police outposts and police jeeps and cars. If in the violence they get to beat up the police, that constitutes victory in the minor battle. It was so in 1998, it was so a decade later in 2008 and it continues to be that way in 2009. The war will be won when Tamil Nadu goes the Kerala Way. I think it has already gone that way and far beyond.
Lawyers, police fight pitched battles in Madras High Court
| Police station set ablaze, vehicles smashed, many lawyers and policemen injured |
Chaos in court: Lawyers hurl stones at policemen on the premises of the Madras High Court on Thursday.
Police burst teargas shells to disperse the agitating lawyers. High Court judges who came to the premises to see the damage caused to advocates’ vehicles had to run when they were confronted by lathi-wielding policemen. Fire fighters who tried to put out the flames engulfing the police station were attacked by the advocates.
The chain of events was set off by the police attempt to arrest a group of advocates involved in the attack on Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy and some policemen in the court complex on Tuesday. A group of advocates demanded that Dr. Swamy be also arrested for abusing one of their colleagues on caste lines.
Heated arguments ended in violence. A group of lawyers, which was near the building housing the Family Courts, and the policemen, positioned near the High Court station, began throwing stones and bottles at each other. The policemen came out with their protective shields and began chasing away the lawyers. Several advocates, office staff and litigants ran helter-skelter, with the policemen in pursuit. The injured advocates were carried by their colleagues to a dispensary for first aid. Later, ambulances were called in to take the injured to hospital.
Even as a group of advocates kept raising slogans against the policemen, several advocates went to the chamber of the Acting Chief Justice, S.J. Mukhopadhaya, protesting against the “police excesses.” Mr. Justice Mukhopadhaya tried to pacify the advocates, but they asked him to come down and see for himself the damage caused to their vehicles, allegedly by policemen.
The judges then appealed to the advocates to maintain calm so that a solution could be found. Later, when a few judges went towards the policemen, with the slogan-raising advocates following them, the policemen resorted to lathi charge. In this melee, Justice Arumuga Perumal Adityan, was hit by a stone and he suffered a head injury. He was rushed to hospital where his condition was stated to be stable.
With reinforcements, including commandos of elite units, arriving, the police chased away all lawyers from the court premises. Following this, trouble spilled over to NSC Bose Road. A mention was made by advocate R.Vaigai before Mr. Justice Mukhopadhaya about the incident.
The police station in the court complex that was set ablaze.
CBI probe The High Court has ordered a CBI enquiry and the State government has given its consent. Three committees have been formed by the High Court to assess the damage to property.
A top official said Mr. Justice Mukhopadhaya’s demand to release all those arrested on Thursday was conceded.
“This is applicable only to those advocates who were arrested on Thursday and not those arrested earlier,” he added.
"Regretfully, far from being the upholders of the rule of law, the lawyers seem to have behaved as hooligans and miscreants. The incidents that transpired over a last month or so make it clear that the lawyers seemed to be under the impression that, because they are officers of the Court, they are immune from the process of law and that they could get away with any unlawful act without being answerable to the law enforcing agency."
"There is no doubt that the violence was started by the unruly mob of lawyers, some of whom were even dressed in robes and bands, but once the police got into action, there was no stopping them. It was as if the police force, as a body, went berserk. The lathi charge continued irrespective of whether a lawyer was a miscreant or otherwise."
