Yet another decision of THE MODI government under scanner by the opposition !

I have always wondered about the provision of freedom of speech and its misuse by people sitting at responsible positions. However, off late the irrespensibility has gone one notch up to put them in the category of being called fools who eat their own shit at the end of the day, interestingly , trapped in their own logics !

In line of fire is the newly appointed governor of Kerala, the ex Chief Justice of India 

Let's look at the statements coming from various quarters and counter them then and there

1. This move has been unprecedented in independent India. Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee, VM Sudheeran

Sir, the country has been ruled by your party for 60 years, that however does not make it a legal binding for new non cong govts to follow the set precedence for everything they do. If Cong govts were corrupt, you cant cry foul, why is the new govt not being, its unprecedented !! Anything donw within the legal framework doesnt need to be ratified by the Cong, before implemenation 

2.  Chandy reportedly said that during his tenure as a chief minister, whenever a new governor was appointed, he was consulted, but not this time.

Excuse me Sir... Rather Thank You Sir, for being honest enough to have accepted the fact. But can your ex home ministers and others responsible for appointments vouch they did the same for the non Cong ruled states as well??  Did they respect state govts decision on appointments of governor? Let's not go too far, just precisely, did Kamla Beniwal enjoy Gujarat government's support?

3. This is purely a political appointment and earlier, the Law commission of India had also recommended that no retired high court or Apex court judge should accept such political posts,” Justice GB Patnaik (Retd).

While it is in fashion for the retired people to do things to remain in limelight, what they forget is it more often than not lowers their own dignity !
A retd judge calls it a political appointment forgetting that the apex court verdict refers to governor as a  constitutional post and hence has more than once recommended  new governments coming into power, not to remove the existing governors ! If interpretation of an ex judge is so wrong, then god save the nation ! Or if he has the conviction of it being a political posting, then why not move a revision petition against  Apex court’s  order, that restrict the central governments to play with the post?

4. Seetaram Yechury also echoed similar sentiments and went on to add that such things hadn’t happened in the past because it could have appeared to be affecting the independence of the judiciary.

Mr Yechury , it is the right age for you to call for retirement from public life before your memory starts deceiving you more often !

(a) Are their not 100s of example os people at high posts having been given Rajya Sabha Nominations? Is that ethical?? Could it be believed that , those were not paybacks for favours taken from them during their postings??

(b) Pinpointing to the governor issue, you say it is unprecedented  ? Let me remind you, Justice Fathima Beevi, the first woman judge of the Supreme Court was subsequently appointed as the governor of Tamil Nadu. Now put your shoe in the mouth and shut up !

Coming back to the point of responsible opposition and freedom of speech, the country would do better with Dumbheads keeping mum and destructive mentalities looking for better job than misusing the fundamental laws of the constitution

Long Live The Democracy and its watch-DOGS like these !
