How Political-Bureaucratic(read IAS) nexus is corroding the lymphnodes of India’s defence establishments is now an open secret and India doesn’t need to fear the Pakistan ISI for subversion, when India has its own elected representatives and bureaucrats to mislead and deceive the public with misleading informations and Team Nishan had its first hand experience.
Minsitry of Defence(Government of India)
Team Nishan was intimated by its realiable sources about the wide spread corruption in posting/transfers and the manipulations by Sh.Subhash Chandra, IAS, Jt.Sect.(G/AIR) in MOD.
We raised the issue with Minister of State for Defence vide our D.O.Letter No.HMI/1324-2012 dated 17 may 2012. and requested the personal attention of Minister of State for Defence to address the issue.
It was inspiring to receive the reply from public spirited Sh.Pallam Raju,Raksha Rajya Mantri on 05th July 2012. He personally looked into it the issue and sent us a detailed reply that can be accessed from the hyperlink below.
Minsiter of State for Defence vide his D.O.Letter No.5(1)/2006-D(HMI)/590-F/RRM/2012 dated 05th July 2012
However the true story unfolds if we examine the letters of West Bengal Ministers that are hyperlinked below.
Letter of Sh.Aroop Biswas, Minister in charge, Housing and Youth Services Department, Government of West Bengal to Sh.A.K.Antony, Defence Minister, Government of India.
West Bengal Minsiter has categorially described the arrogance and colonial conduct of the Subhash Chandra,IAS,Jt.Secretary(G/AIR), It can be well imagined by the citizens that a BABU who doesn’t care about the recommendations of the Minsiter of a State Government, that supports for half of the budget of the institution, how will he be bothered about the issues raised by a common man.
The Defence Minister acknowledged the letter of Minister of West Bengal with assurance to look into the matter.
Despite the lapse of more than a year and half the stalemate over the appointment of the principal for HMI remains in square one. The incumbent who had completed his official tenure at the institute and faced serious corruption charges is allowed to continue at the institute with the patronage of a bureaucrat. The entire selection process that was undertaken with specific laidout criteria is bulldozed by a Babu who is drawing fat salary from public exchequer and with no accountability.
It also high lights how, these bureaucrats due to their vested interests and corruption can mislead the political representatives and subvert entire selection processes and kick the criterias laid out by departments.
The Ministries in India are manned by the IAS Babus, who doesn’t develop any specialization but run these ministeries due to inherent power formation and root cause of corrution due to absolute discretion and lack of accountability of these babus.
Public issues can’t be allowed to be swept under the carpet in various ministeries of government of India or state governments by colonial Babus until the Minister Incharge of the ministry has given his consent and answered the citizens. We elect our representatives to take policy decisions on public policy issues, raised by the public and not the babus, whether IAS or IPS.
Being completed….!
