A second audit of the Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana finds several irregularities, a year after the government's own auditors found lapses.
On 4 April 1968, Bansgaon MP Molhu Prasad delivered a speech in the Lok Sabha on the atrocities against the Scheduled Castes and their negligible representation despite reservation.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
It is a well accepted and recognised principle of Law that as long as an execution of an act by any authority, duly constituted for that purpose, is bona fide and “In Public Interest”, it cannot be held as violation of any right; nor can any ‘ultra vires’ be imputed to it. These agencies follow all due processes and preliminaries required under the Law, and do not indulge in reckless and unauthorised acts. Of course, the effected parties will cry foul and impute the catch phrase “Political Vendetta”. BUT, the Election Commission ( or ANY other body) can do NOTHING about it. It is next to impossible to attribute ulterior motives and PROVE them; very easy to shout from public platforms and to the media.
The MCC covers a sliver of time, out of sixty months. One cannot judge when – or even whether – the process will start. But at some stage, the government of the day might wish to respect the spirit in which political contestation is to be carried out in a democracy. It is really too much to expect that the ECI / Lokpal – my heart tells me it is going to prove to be one more layer of superfluity, as the CVC already is – or even the apex court to enforce constitutional morality.
