Liberhan report biased

The Congress should be in the dock for this Himalayan blunder by its then Prime Minister. In fact the entire Congress Party, barring a few close friends of Narasimha Rao, blamed him for the demolition. Yet the Liberhan, who was appointed by Narasimha Rao, has given him a clean chit for obvious reasons and blamed Atal Bihari Vajpayee without even summoning him. Even a first year Law student will tell you that if any finding has to be given against a person he has to be heard. Forgetting this elementary principle the eminent Jurist has thought it fit to blame Vajpayee. This biased report, filed after 17 long years at a cost of Rs.6.5 crores of tax-prayer’s money has to be confined to records.

Ministers in Pulivendula

Andhra Pradesh is going through a troubled period. After the floods, the State is facing Telangana agitation. TRS has announced its stir plan a month in advance and political dialogue should have been planned. Ministers were busy due to GHMC polls in November. But it was surprising to see 24 Ministers proceeding to Pulivendula for Vijayalakshmi’s filing of nominations. Why so many ministers travelled from Hyderabad to Pulivendula at the cost of government.

Sanskrit in schools

This is with reference to news item “Learn Sanskrit, students told” (The Hindu, dt. 24.11.09). Yes, there is a great need for one and all to learn the language. In the present scenario, where morals and ethics are going down the drain, learning the language, reforms the society. Hence, Sanskrit should be introduced as a compulsory subject from school education for the country to have good citizens.

‘Killer’ buses

Of late road accidents have become frequent and RTC buses are in the news. Express and other services should not be allowed into narrow roads. Big RTC buses should be replaced with small or mini buses on narrow routes. Having foot board travel on heavy density traffic routes must be prevented. There is an urgent need to identify heavy traffic routes where the roads are too narrow to run heavy vehicles. Such roads must be widened on a war-footing to reduce the accidents.
