Of course, India has the potential to create its own identity as a country with a modern democratic ideology. But looking at the current picture, we have to say that we are missing this opportunity. As a democratic country, we have come a long way. But where we are failing in the same process, the scope of failure is just as great. In the face of this failure, the success we have achieved so far, the identity we have created, is really fading. The most disturbing thing in all this is the unwitting strangulation of government institutions by the political class to achieve their political goals!
During the tenure of the late Indira Gandhi, the former Prime Minister of the country, there was a picture of an administration and a judiciary that was loyal to Indira Gandhi and her policies. In fact, it is one of the many attacks on India's sovereign democracy to date! That is why they had imposed emergency on the country. It took a long time to recover from the damage done to our democracy by this emergency. In fact, Indira Gandhi's career as a diplomat was significant. The victory we won in the war against Pakistan during his tenure is immortal in history. However, the black mark of emergency on Indiraji's political career is still there.
In the same vein, many of the actions of the current Prime Minister Narendra Modi are said to be attacks on the Central Bureau of Investigation, Reserve Bank of India, Central Information Commission, National Statistics Commission, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Nehru Memorial Museum and Library. Is. We have to think about what and what kind of it is. When it comes to Nehru, the hatred for Pandit Nehru, the history and events associated with him is, in fact, consistent… of course, he too has a touch of lust for political gain.
Given the confusion that the present government has created in the case of an institution like the CBI, which is the country's main investigative agency, it has to be said that this government is a step ahead of all previous governments. The government removed Alok Verma as director of the CBI and Rakesh Asthana as deputy director and special director a year later. The government's decision to remove Alok Verma from the post of director was like a surgical strike. The government decided to remove Alok Verma just in the middle of the night. Importantly, Alok Verma was preparing at the time to investigate allegations of corruption under the Raphael Agreement.
Union Minister Arun Jaitley, who is currently undergoing treatment in New York, has added to the situation. While in bed in New York, he criticized the CBI's interim commissioner appointed by his own government. The commissioner initiated an inquiry into a case that angered Jaitley, and he directly criticized the interim commissioner's action as an act of inquiry. Here, Jaitley is also expected to show professionalism. Of course, the CBI And the fact is that important investigative agencies, such as the Directorate of Recovery, are operating in line with the political needs of the ruling party. If we look at these incidents seriously, the CBI Chi's condition is not like that of a parrot, but like a dead bird in a cage.
During the tenure of this government, two successive governors of the Reserve Bank resigned before the end of their term. These incidents tell a lot. In fact, a reputable economist like Raghuram Rajan is not just one of those who work with Jumlanomics. Urjit Patel, who came after Raghuram, is a similar personality. Like Raghuram Rajan, Urjit Patel has also joined the RBI. Resigned as governor prematurely. He is said to have found it difficult to work with the Reserve Bank's advisory board. All appointments to the advisory board were made by the same government. In this circle s. Gurumurthy was also present. The advisory board consistently demanded that the government implement a policy that would make it easier for the government to win re-election.
Control or tampering with official information released by government agencies is, in fact, a serious attack. It can also be said that this kind of action is the most dangerous in terms of our system.
Just last week, two independent members of the National Statistical Commission (NSC) resigned. Importantly, the resignations include the commission's executive chairman. The National Sample Survey Office i.e. N.S.S.O. Both the members have made serious allegations that the government has allowed the government to publish the report prepared by the government for the year 2017-18. The duo also said that the report was ready for publication in December.
If so, the reason why this report could not be published is well known. Unemployment in India has risen sharply in the last two years. As a result, our economic growth has slowed down. Now the Narendra Modi-led government has adopted a different policy to prevent such information from being disclosed. Part of this policy is to refrain from publishing any reports that contain such negative conclusions. On the other hand, the second part of this policy is to draw conclusions based on the information of any other organization, bypassing the National Sample Survey Office, which has the highest statistical system in the country. Here, the government has again joined hands.
The government says that the NSSO The report is still being prepared and is yet to be approved by the Union Cabinet. In fact, both of these things are blatantly untrue.
This is the second biggest example of the government's reluctance to provide factual information. Earlier, the government had changed the figures to show that the gross national product (GDP) of its National Democratic Alliance government was better than that of the United Progressive Alliance government. However, the government has always been reluctant to comment. We have to understand that the CBI The work of an organization like, N.S.S.O. The facts underlined by the information provided by the same organization and the importance of that information, as well as the autonomy of the Reserve Bank, are not just matters of talking or walking. So these matters are very important elements in the process of economic and political development of the country.
Incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems to have a strong desire to have an impact on the country's integration process. In the process, however, they want to deny history to date, and instead offer a new chapter. In a sense, it is not a bad thing to break or destroy the old in order to create something new. But without making a serious effort to build a more capable institution, it is to control the existing institutions in such a way, to bring the organization into disrepair, that is, to move towards degeneration.
