The investigation team could be led via the Director-General of Enforcement Directorate (ED). For a while now, the Gandhi circle of relatives has been below the wrath of the central authorities. The Rajiv Gandhi Foundation changed into recently accused of receiving presents from the Communist Party of China. In return, Congress has acted inside the interests of China in this country. The t BJP president JP Nadda himself recently accused the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation of irregularities. He alleged that monetary help became given to the organization from the Prime Minister's Relief Fund in the course of the Congress period. The BJP president pointed the finger at the individuals of the Gandhi own family and stated that Sonia Gandhi became the chairperson of the Prime Minister's Relief Fund. He is likewise the pinnacle of the foundation. It is not the simplest reprehensible, it's also unprincipled. There changed into no hint of transparency within the complete matter. The BJP additionally referred to the 1991 finances speech in attacking the Gandhi family. Manmohan Singh changed into the Finance Minister within the Narsingh Rao cabinet at that time. He announced to offer Rs 100 crore to the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation in five years. Since Narendra Modi has become the Prime Minister, the BJP has been frequently firing on the Gandhi circle of relatives. In addition to the political attacks on the Congress own family system, the National Herald case came underneath scrutiny. The protection of the former prime minister and his circle of relatives turned into then passed over from the Special Protection Group to the CRPF. Just a few days ago, Priyanka Gandhi Bhadra becomes requested to go away the legitimate residence. This time all 3 groups of the Gandhi circle of relatives have been dragged under the research of monetary irregularities. The Congress says the assault is "vile" - "political revenge". Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala stated in a statement today that the government, embroiled in normal Congress questions about disrupting India's protection, closing failure to address the Corona and crippling the economy, has taken revenge. It wants to mislead human beings through distorting information. He said the Modi government should rather look into how much masses of crores of rupees had been given to the PMCs via Chinese companies. Let's check out what number of crores of rupees the RSS has obtained from which countries. He wants to know whether or not the Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust or the Indira Gandhi Memorial Trust could be similar to the Vivekananda Foundation and the India Foundation. He said the Rs 6,000 crore received with the aid of the BJP via election bonds should also be investigated. He said how the BJP's sales have increased through 500 in step with cent in three years have to be investigated if it has the courage.

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who gave cops a slip last week to reach the house of arrested retired police officer-turned activist SR Darapuri, violated three counts of security norms, the Central Reserve Police Force said in a statement on Monday.The statement also rebutted Priyanka Gandhi who had accused Uttar Pradesh police officer Abhay Mishra of entering the place in Lucknow where she was staying without permission and alleged a breach in protocol.CRPF provides Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Z-plus category security after the government withdrew the Gandhi family’s security cover by the Special Protection Group in November.The Congress leader’s office had complained that Abhay Mishra got into an altercation with CRPF officers on her detail over her programme and threatened not to let her take even “two steps” out of the premises.The CRPF statement said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s programme for 28 December had been shared with UP Police a day earlier but there was only one engagement - a visit to the Congress office in Lucknow for the party’s foundation function - was mentioned.“On 28 December, Abhay Mishra, circle officer Hazaratganj at around 8 am visited the place of stay to enquire about the detailed programme of the day of the protectee which was not communicated by the personal staff. There was no breach in security by the official,” the statement by CRPF’s Inspector General Pankaj Kumar Singh said in a clean chit to the UP police officer.Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s visit to UP state capital Lucknow turned controversial on Saturday after she attempted to visit the house of a retired IPS officer SR Darapuri who had been arrested during the protests against the citizenship law on December 20.Priyanka Gandhi’s vehicle was stopped by the police when she was on the way, reportedly because she was not following the “prescribed” route. She gave the police a slip, and according to a local Congress leader, walked for a few km and rode pillion on a scooty with a state Congress leader. She did eventually reach Darapuri’s house.In her statements to the media later, Priyanka Gandhi had later complained that a cop had also caught her by the neck to stop her. Another, she said, had pushed her.Monday’s unusual statement by the CRPF about security to a protectee also counted three security violations. The ride on a scooty was one of them.“Unscheduled movement of the protectee without intimation as such ASL (advanced security liaison) could not be conducted. during travelling. The protectee used non-BR (bullet-resistant) civil vehicle without PSO (personal security officer. The protectee took a lift in scooty as a pillion rider,” the CRPF statement said.Despite these security constraints, appropriate security cover was provided by CRPF during the visit, the statement said, adding that such security violations are communicated to the protectee and are advised for ensuring proper security arrangements.

PAKISTAN HAUNTS INDIA AND SO DO ITS OWN ARMED FORCES

What I am going to pen down now is an out pour of a hurt feeling and that is that I as a youngster was the decision taken to join the Armed Forces, ié Army, to be very specific, was right one. And why do I say so, will come to it a little later.

Really speaking, it was not a choice which I made out of various available options. I couldn't look beyond other than joining Army.

I come from a hundred person civilian encestors; my grand father was a zamindar of some 50 plus villages and was a honorary Majistrate, my father was a District Engineer and the clan as such was in one or the other civil job and those who were not, found themselves managing that vestige of fast evaporating zamindari. For this job then, education was a non-essential qualification.

But then in above described scenario, how come that I couldn't look beyond joining Army.

My father by virtue of being a District Engineer had to deal and interact with a whole lot of contractors. One such person was Shri Raghav Rai, a very respected person and from a very well to do inheritance. On a day when Shri Raghav Rai Ji came to my father's office, he had in his hand a few sheets of printed papers stapled into two sets. My father asked him as to what were these. He replied that these were forms for entrance examination for UP Sainik School which he had got for his son, Anil Kumar Rai. My father asked Shri Raghav Rai Ji if he could get one set for him too. As Raghav Rai Ji was carrying two sets, he gave one to my father for me. After going through written test, interview and medical examination and having made it in the merit list, I joined UPSS in July 1967.

Couldn't make it to NDA or IMA. Finally joined Army through Short Service Commission, that five year of Sainik School had it's say finally.

In those days, though Army had less visibility but there was something enigmatic about it. People looked at the Army guys, particularly those from small town and cities, as if they were from a different planet. There was no IT or economic boom then and hence private sector so to say had TATAs and Birlas in smaller sizes and their numbers still smaller. Private jobs were nuch less and salaries there nothing to be much happy about. Job security, no way. Youth from well to do and with meritorious performance took pride in joining Armed Forces with majority going to the Army. There was no shortage of officers as is today. I was commissioned into a unit which was full to it's authorized strength of about 40 officers.

Today, most Army units are down to 60 to 70% of their authorized officers strength as most youngsters gravitate towards private sector as they offer much better packages. It may be of curious interest that where in 60s, 70s or early 80s the serving officers took pride in sending their sons to Army and if possible to their own regiment or battalions, today most senior officers, particularly Brigs, Maj Gens and Lt Gens prefer their sons and daughters joining any job other than joining Army.

Lowering the precedence, comparitive reduction in pay and pension, lack of promotion avenues, ongoing reduction in perks and facilities and similar such retrograde moves of the governments; past or present; to "put Army in it's place" compared to other services like IAS, IPS & CAPF when seen in totality have served as primary corrosive agent for gradual and systemic diminishing of substance and the lustre which once upon a time only Armed Forces possessed and in large and substantial measure. As of today, this pride of nation is miserably paid and hopelessly employed; "from Bore Well to Balakot".

Just drive from Dhaulakuan to IGI Airport, either on NH 8 or through Delhi Cantt and one gets a feel that task of providing better connectivity to IGI Airport from Dhaulakuan and from Rai Tula Ram Marg to IGI Airport has been outsourced to Pak Army. It is digusting to see that how, for widening the roads, privacy and safety of Indian Armed Forces Officers families is going to be put on public display 24X7 and safety compromised in totality. NHAI has not spared even Manekshaw Centre, an iconic architectural marvel by world standards.

Airport Metro which passes through the HQ Western Air Command was the first step taken; in 2009 or so; in this direction notwithstanding the crack WAC HQ (responsible for lightning Balakot strike) becomes a comfortable and easy target for a strike by a fidaayeen with a hand held weapon or by a terrorist. I suppose that doesn't concern the present government wee bit. It didn't to any other government in that last six decades either.

We in India like and love the idea of a martyr next door, not in our home.

It was really tragic that 40 CRPF personnel had been killed in Pak sponsored attack at Pulwama. There was stark display of anger at national level. Public sympathy was huge and so was the hurt. And it must be. Huge amount of funds came in from public from all across the country to help the bereaved families who had lost their lived ones and in some cases, probably the only bread earners.

Now I get back to the real issue to which I wrote in the very beginning to come back later.

Balakot air strike gave goos bumps to the nation as had surgical strike in the past. Just that since Armed Forces do your job with dead precision and come back unscathed, doesn't mean that they do not deserve tangible or worth while reward. Remember the terrorist attack few years back on Indian consulate in Afghanistan in which the Military Attaché (MA), a Bigadier and an IFS Officer were killed. It was the PM then, who personally visited the IFS Officer's family, but he ignored visiting the MA's family.

It is always, as it has been in the past and will be so in future as well that Armed Forces and Armed Forces alone will and can prove and ensure that enemy thinks a thousand times before attempting an injurious design against India.

I would not hesitate to accord due credit to the political leadership for the bold decision taken. But be that as it may, just count the consequences if Balakot or surgical strike would have failed or resulted in huge casualties. A 440 volt current would have run through the spine of every Indian. But since nothing unhappy event happened except for Abhinandan, only vacuous praise and too very economical, poured in trickles. Political parties may distrust the government and most certainly if the government is of a different party, but asking proof from the government is an unprecedented insult heaped upon the Armed Forces who have kept the geographical and territorial boundaries safe and intact. It is only because of the Indian Armed Forces that every Indian, whether in or out of the government has peaceful sleep at night and goes about his every day BAU in peace.

But, sadly it is the Government of India, you read it right, which is fighting against it's Armed Forces in a long drawn legal battle which is difficult if not possible for the Armed Forces. It will be sane to remember that todays individual in OG, whites or skey blue will be the veteran of tomorrow. Ipso facto do not treat the veterans with disdain or with indignity or callousness. It is easier for the Armed Forces fighting against China or Pakistan but not the legal battle against the very government to which the Armed Forces belong.

It would not be pointless saying that Armed Forces belong to the nation either as nation comprises of those also who not only ask for proof but have promised to bring in provisions to weaken the Armed Forces in fighting the enemies of the nation. Honourable Supreme Court has already decreed filing FIR against the Army or those fighting Pak sponsored terrorists. Pakistan would have celebrated this judgement of Honourable Supreme Court.

Don't fight with Armed Forces in courts or by bureaucratic means. Pay the Armed Forces well and help them lead a life of dignity and respect.

I was witnessing an old video clip wherein the Mumbai Police Foundation was presented a cheque of Rs fifty lakhs by Bollywood fraternity. Don't remember them having done anything thing similar for the Armed Forces.

Going to forward areas for a hip shaking excursion is no substitute.
