Keralafarmer: “Support from Trivandrum to Anna Hazare”

Govt agrees to Anna Hazare’s demands on Lokpal Bill: Reports

Social activist Anna Hazare speaks during the 4th day of his indefinite fast for ‘Jan Lokpal Bill’, in New Delhi on Friday.

NEW DELHI: Anna Hazare’s crusade against corruption is believed to have won the battle on Friday with the government relenting to the demands made by the veteran social activist, TV reports said. However, Hazare on Friday night announced that his fast has not ended and further added that he will take a final decision on Saturday. A three member team, Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and Swami Agnivesh, had met the government representatives and it is believed that government has relented to Anna Hazare’s demands. According to reports, Pranab Mukherjee is likely to be the chairman and Shanti Bhushan to be the co-chairman of the proposed joint committee to draft an effective Lokpal Bill. The draft of the Lokpal Bill will reportedly be formally notified. Anna Hazare had demanded the appointment of a chairman and a co-chairman for the proposed joint committee to draft the Lokpal Bill and rejected the government’s offer of setting up of the committee by a letter of the law ministry. He also said there should be no “tainted” ministers in the joint committee comprising civil society members and ministers. The government had sent a draft on Friday afternoon, following which Hazare sent his draft. “We replied to it and spoke to the three ministers (Union HRD minister Kapil Sibal, law minister Veerappa Moily and minority affairs minister Salman Khurshid) about it,” Swami Agnivesh, one of Hazare’s three emissaries had said. Earlier on Friday, the three emissaries held talks with the government on the proposed formation of a committee for drafting the Lokpal Bill.

जीत हम सबके।

Right now, Anna Hazare, a 73-year-old Gandhian, sits fasting in the burning sun, and he will stay until death — unless the government agrees to consider a powerful law that could rid Indian politics of the scourge of corruption. This “Modern Mahatma” is taking the utmost act of courage and determination to push through a bill that would give an independent body the power to punish corruption — even in the Prime Minister’s office. Across the country a movement has exploded, driving a media storm of pressure that’s engulfing Singh. But dirty politicians are desperately trying to water down or kill the law.

They were the representatives of many organisations and activists beyond Party Politics.

Salary of  University asistant is an evidence of profit of a Govt Servant.

Now we look with the wage/salary index category of Govt. servants and other workers. From office records one can easily observe that an Assistant in any university of Kerala would draw an initial basic pay of Rs. 675 carrying a DA of Rs. 112 with a total of Rs. 797 (excluding other allowances such as HRA, CCA which vary from place to place) during 1983 where as initial starting basic pay for the same post is Rs. 7990 carrying a DA of Rs. 3036 with a total of Rs. 11,026 during 2008. Thus the salary index of the salary of an Assistant who will enter in service during 2008 is 1383. Thus the salary increase noticed on the initial appointment as Assistant in an University during 2008 is 13.83 times that of 1983. From the diary records one could observe that the wage given to an agricultural labourer during 1983 would be Rs. 20 where as the wage given today is Rs. 350 which is around 17.5 tines the wage of 1983.

The farmer have to get a price of natural rubber in 2008 was Rs. 231.24/Kg. (16.72 x 13.83) or the Assistant  was able to get a salary of Rs. 5157 (797 x 6.47) only. This was only a justice to the farmer to avoid suicide attemts.
