एक आदमी रोटी बेलता है,
एक आदमी रोटी खाता है,
एक तीसरा आदमी भी है,
जो न रोटी बेलता है,
न रोटी खाता है,
वह सिर्फ रोटी से खेलता है।
मैं पूछता हूँ,
यह तीसरा आदमी कौन है,
मेरे देश की संसद मौन है.....

The needle of suspicion point towards criminal gangs in Saurashtra and the Ahmedabad police will shortly leave for Junagadh for investigations.
Amit Jethwa’s murder has once again brought into sharp focus the obstacles in successfully implementing a legislation that was meant to expose corruption in the government.
The main hurdle seems to be the issue of RTI activists facing a threat to their lives.
Amit Jethwa, who was shot dead by unknown assailants on Tuesday evening, was trying to expose the nexus between officials, politicians and the mining mafia in Gujarat. His family has accused a BJP MLA of having a hand in the killing. (Read: RTI activist’s murder: Family accuses BJP MP)
Speaking to NDTV, National Advisory Council (NAC) member and activist Aruna Roy, who campaigned hard for the Right to Information Act, says whistleblowers face the biggest threat from the nexus between corrupt officials and the mafia.
“Actually you see the RTI works within the system of governance. So what should protect them is the regulatory systems which operate within government…the regulatory mechanisms which operate within government. It is also the administrative missionary that operates within government. Because very often it is that part of the government which is malfunctioning, which is threatened to be exposed, which is hand-in-glove with the mafia and then proceeds to take these kinds of horrendous steps to still voices of protest,” said Aruna Roy.
She also added that the NAC will take up the roadblocks in RTI.
“Actually the NAC in its first meeting decided that it would also look at the implementation of the flagship programs of UPA 1. So whether it is the Forest Bill or the RTI or the NREGA, these various acts will be covered under the general work of the NAC. So we will at some point of time take up RTI…the roadblocks in RTI.”
It has been a long time since you have received any news from Sakshi. We appreciate that you still have given your support to the cause of clean governance. We have spent a long time wondering if the battle for a clean working government could be achieved by RTI alone. Essentially we felt that the standard RTI approach itself was based on negativity and suspicion of people in our government. While this might be largely true but there some exceptional exceptions.
We have therefore another approach let us look at the bureaucracy as our servant or as dog who we have bought home to serve and protect us. In this context the indian bureaucracy is like servant who gets food whether it works or not and when given an opportunity it steals our food also. When given an opportunity we use RTI and other anti corruption measures to kick it. We use the media, facebook and letters to the editors to curse it.
We request you step back and see if this is how we want to train the dog who is to serve us. Only kicking and cursing it will not work we need to give it love and recognition too but at the times when it demonstrates the right behavior. Believe me there are plenty of opportunities where honest officers have gone beyond their call of duty to serve us with great diligence.
We need you as citizen of this great country to change our approach to fighting corruption why not recognize and appreciate good work done by government officials. Trust when such recognition is received such an officer ethics and desire to serve diligently will be further strengthened and they will go on set and example to thier not so diligent colleagues.
Today we want you to buy a simple post card of Rs.2 and post the card with a note of appreciation of Superintendent of police Mrs.Kalpana Saxena who on her rounds found three police constables extorting money from truck drivers. She chased them and held onto the window of their jeep and was dragged 1 KM along with their escaping vehicle.

Article 21 A of Constitution states that “Every child between the ages of 6 to 14 years has the right to free and compulsory education.” Not only this RTE Act has also been enacted since 1st April 2010 and according to Section 3 (1) & 3(2) of Right to Education Act
Section 3(1)“Every child of age of six to fourteen years shall have a right to free and compulsory education in a neighborhood school till completion of elementary education”
Section 3(2)“no child shall be liable to pay any kind of fee or charges or expenses which may prevent him/her from pursuing and completing the elementary education”.
But surprisingly, government school Authorities, who are supposed to be aware of this Act, are not abiding by the same. Principals of Government Schools are collecting Rs 97 from the students of Class I to VIII in the name of Parents Teachers Association Fund and Pupil Welfare Fund. This is not one time collection but the students have to pay Rs 45 quarterly for pupil Welfare Fund
When such violations came to the notice of Pardarshita by the students, then more than 500 students were assisted by Pardarshita in raising their voice against violation. A complaint with the Delhi Govt. and Chairperson of NCPCR and DCPCR was filed. More than three months have been passed but no action by any of the authority has been taken so far. Therefore Pardarshita has filed a PIL in Delhi High Court with the help of Divya Jyoti Jaipuriar, Advocate HRLN for violation of RTE Act and today Hon’ble High Court has issued notice to Delhi Govt. in this matter.
