प्रकाश अंबेडकर ने संविधान की हत्या की : कांग्रेस के वरिष्ठ नेता सुशील कुमार शिंदे का आरोप--------------
संजय पाटील द्वारा : कांग्रेस ने भाजपा से पहले घटना को बदलने की कोशिश की थी। कांग्रेस के वरिष्ठ नेता सुशील कुमार शिंदे के आरोपों का जवाब देते हुए प्रकाश अंबेडकर ने दावा किया है ।
उस्मानाबाद: वंचित बहुजन समाज के नेता प्रकाश अंबेडकर ने दावा किया है कि कांग्रेस ने भाजपा से पहले भारतीय संविधान को बदलने की कोशिश की थी। कांग्रेस के वरिष्ठ नेता सुशील कुमार शिंदे के आरोपों का जवाब देते हुए उन्होंने यह दावा किया।
संविधान की हत्या का आरोप प्रकाश अंबेडकर पर कांग्रेस नेता सुशीलकुमार शिंदे ने आरोप लगाया था। इसका जवाब देते हुए प्रकाश अंबेडकर ने यह सनसनीखेज आरोप लगाया। 'ए' आर अंतुले जब मुख्यमंत्री थे, हम संसदीय लोकतंत्र नहीं चाहते हैं, यह कहा गया था कि हम राष्ट्रपति लोकतंत्र लाना चाहते हैं, उन्होंने कहा था. उन्होंने तत्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री इंदिरा गांधी से पूछकर यह बयान दिया था। यह स्पष्ट था कि यह घटना बदलने वाली थी, 'मेरे पास एक मेमोरी शॉर्ट है जबकि अन्य कहते हैं, लेकिन मेरी मेमोरी लंबी है,' अंबेडकर ने शिंदे से कहा।
उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि एमआईएम नेता असदुद्दीन ओवैसी और दिवंगत पैंथर नेता नामदेव ढसाल और राजा ढले की भाषा एक ही है। हम अपनी सुरक्षा भी करते हैं। उन्होंने दलित समुदाय पर अन्याय और अत्याचार के माध्यम से यह बयान दिया। मुसलमानों के साथ अन्याय के कारण ओवैसी यही बयान दे रहे हैं। लेकिन एक ढाला बौद्ध होने के कार, क्योंकि वे एक मानदंड हैं और ओसीस मुस्लिम हैं, उन्हें दूसरा मानदंड माना जा रहा है। ओवेसी की भाषा पर आपत्ति उठाई गई है, फिर आरएसएस की भाषा पर आपत्ति क्यों नहीं की गई? देशद्रोह का अपराध क्यों नहीं है? उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि उन्होंने ऐसा ही किया।
दूसरी तरफ रहने वाले सुशील कुमार शिंदे का कांग्रेस पार्टी में बड़ा रसूख है। सुशील कुमार शिंदे दलित नेता में विश्वास नहीं करते हैं। यदि वे दलितों के नेता थे, तो उन्होंने चर्मकार, ढोर, मातंग बौद्धां, धर्म के मोर्चे उन्होंने कितने सवाल उठाए हैं, और जब केंद्रीय गृह मंत्री थे, लेदर किती टक्के काम चर्मकार समाज को कितना प्रतिशत काम दिया गया? उन्होंने शिंदे को यह जानकारी देने की चुनौती दी।
उनके उम्मीदवारों के जात बारे में बात करते हैं
हमने अपने उम्मीदवारों का जात घोषित किया है। इसलिए कांग्रेस, एनसीपी, शिवसेना और बीजेपी को भी अपने उम्मीदवार जात बताने चाहिए। अन्यथा, हम उनके उम्मीदवारों की जाति के उम्मीदवारों बतायाग को, उन्होंने कहा।
7 IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS OF THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
ReplyDelete20th Amendment - December 22, 1966 - Indemnify & validate judgments, decrees, orders and sentences passed by judges. Validate the appointment, posting, promotion and transfer of judges except those not eligible for appointment under article 233.
This Amendment was needed to overcome the effect of judgement invalidating appointments of certain judges in the state of Uttar Pradesh. This was also done to validate the judgements passed, in order to ensure that justice is served fairly.
24th Amendment - November 5, 1971 - Enable parliament to dilute fundamental rights through amendments to the constitution
What this means to the citizens of India is that, in event of any situation, the Parliament of India has no right to curtail or take away fundamental rights that are guaranteed in Part III of the Constitution, in any of its amendments. Rather it can include it as part of the amendment act, guaranteeing effective exercise of fundamental rights.
61th Amendment - March 28, 1988 - Reduce age for voting rights from 21 to 18
An iconic move in 1988 led to the voting rights being lowered from age 21 to age 18, allowing the much younger lot to have a say on the affairs of the country. Today, there are about 52 lakh voters 18 year old voters in India; bringing about a change every time they vote.
75th Amendment - May 15, 1994 - Provisions for setting up Rent Control Tribunals
It provides for setting up of State-level Rent Tribunals to exclude the jurisdiction of all courts, except that of the Supreme Court, under Article 136 of the Constitution. This enables effective exercise of the Right Control Act, supervised by a committee - the Rent Control Tribunal; which ensures fairness if ever an issue should crop up between the owner and the tenant of a rented property.
86th Amendment - December 12, 2002 - Provides Right to Education until the age of fourteen and early childhood care until the age of six
The call to provide right to education until the age of fourteen and early childhood care until the age of six, comes as an important move in the Amendment. Earlier, there wasn’t any amendment to help recognize the need for educational rights for children. Recently, a critical development led to extend this right till the age of 16.
88th Amendment - January 15, 2004 - To extend statutory cover for levy and utilization of Service Tax
This Article provides for the insertion of a brand new article 268A, that states that taxes on services shall be levied by the Government of India/India/Republic of Asian country/Bharat/Asian country/Asian nation and such tax shall be collected by the Government of India and therefore the States within the manner provided in clause.
94th Amendment - June 12, 2006 - To provide for a Minister of Tribal Welfare in newly created Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh States
In 2000, India gave birth to two new states namely - Jharkhand and Chattisgarh. Given that both Jharkhand and Chattisgarh fall under the category of states with maximum tribal group presence, a need for a Minister of Tribal Welfare was made part of the 94th amendment. Today, both states have their own ministers, governing over the needs of these tribal groups.
While we can expect other important amendments to come up during the coming years, and with the new Government in place; let's remember to remember our amendments and put them to effective use as citizens. Let's ensure better responsibility, respect and abide by the value of the Indian Constitution!
Who is a Whistleblower, and what does the Whistleblower Protection Act do?
ReplyDeleteA whistleblower is someone who reveals sensitive information about misconduct of a public official or an organization. Eg- Using low grade materials while constructing roads in order to pocket public money. India has seen many Whistleblowers who have risked their lives to let the public know of illegal or corrupt activities.

Under this Act, anybody could reveal information related to corruption or misuse of power by government officials and public offices with or without the RTI (Right To Information).
What are the amendments made to the Act?
On May, 2015 the Act was was amended so that protection would be guaranteed to a Whistleblower only if the information revealed met certain parameters.
Individuals enjoyed protection by the government if they revealed sensitive information about activities that could harm the country and it’s public. According to the amendments, the Act will not protect a whistleblower if the information revealed falls under certain criteria.

2. Any information from discussions and cabinet papers of Council of Ministers, secretaries and other government officials.
3. Any information that has been restricted by the court and will go against it’s given orders.
4. Parliamentarians and MP’s enjoy certain privileges, given their position as India’s decision makers. Revealing any information that would harm this privilege will not allow protection under the Act.
5. A company or an individual’s trade secrets, commercials, inventions, artistic or literary work cannot be revealed if it harms its business.
6. If the information is shared between two people and they agree to not disclose it, then both parties cannot reveal it, unless it is covered under the RTI.
7. Information revealed by a foreign government in trust cannot be revealed.
8. If revelation of details and information could endanger the life and safety of a person, it cannot be revealed. The source of information given in confidence for law or security enforcement also cannot be made known.
9. If the disclosure of information will setback the process of investigation, apprehension and prosecution of offenders.
10. No information that might fall under public interest, but is an invasion of privacy cannot be revealed unless it has been made available under the RTI.
If information revealed falls under any of the points given above, then the accused person or organization will not be required to give an explanation or answer any questions pertaining to the accusations. A written document will also be issued by the government which will further protect the accused from any inquiries.
The Whistleblower Act has become an integral part of the country’s democracy. These amendments have seen support, and at the same time dissent from the public. What are your opinions on the same?
