Indian Ambassador

What is role of Indian Ambassador in the foreign/middle east country? Indian President or Indian Prime minister or their cabinet minister should look in to the matter that Ambassador is the most powerful post to deal and solve all matters to the indians whenever they required some help or concession to be given. I have seen most of the time the charges are made for any thing it is too higher than our India. Also my opinion is that Ambassador should be available at the Embassy all the times. But unfortunately they are always attending for a function or opening ceremony. When we go to the Embassy some of the staff or not cooperating well it hurts to our heart.

The government should pass a rule that no one's salary can be greater the Hon'ble President of India. That would stop the Ambanis and Tatas to stop looting.

Lets have the reaction of the Indian Express editors.I totally agree with the views expressed that the next hike will be for the PM,Ministers,MP's,MLA's etc as they do not need a Pay Commission to decide their Pay and ithe decisions of Pay hikr is always unanimous.The Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces should look into the grievances ot the middle level officers of Armed Forces which form 25% of the officer cadre.God help the Aam aadmi.The Privy purses of the Royal class was withdrawn but now we have have a new class of Royalty who have the money,privileges,security cover not only for themselves but their wards amd may be also for the children of their wards and no work.Mera Bharat Mahan.

No freebees..

Now is the time to withdraw all free facilities to Govt. officials and they should be made to pay for everything just like any other citizen does including so called 'security' cover consisting of hundreds of police officers who spend all their time around these corrupt guys and never spend protecting common citizen, their real pay master. There should be,(1) No free phones(2) No free power/wate(3) Market rates rent for accommodation no govt. bunglows..(4)No free transportation(5)No VIP quota nonsense(6) Death sentecse for any corrupt/unethical deeds

What about those aam aadmi who are still commiting suicides in villages?And election is just around the corner!! Madam sonia, withdraw these salary hikes. Reduce taxes on aam aadmi.
GIVE THEM A MUCH HIGHER PAY HIKE- THE PM, MINISTERS, MPS,MLAS AND EVEN SONIA!!!
by A Nair on 2008-09-11 20:37:07.28354+05:30
But stop all free meals. They should pay for house, water, elecricity, telephone, rail ticket, air ticket etc etc...... Make stricter rules to punish currupt Govt officials similar to the Military Law. Make a rule that Govt Officials caught accepting bribe is punished with in one year and minimum punishment is 10 years in jail and conficication of all their properties. DOES ANY POLITICIAN<, INCLUDING THOSE OF CPM< CPI< CPM_ MAOIST LENIST, BJP etc have the courage to pass LAWS TO THESE EFFECT.
comments on pay hike
by priya on 2008-09-11 19:38:39.533249+05:30
why doesnt the express now criticise this pay hike as it indulged in a negligent and malacious campaign against the armed forces of the country?
300 pc jump in pay of Prez, VP, Governors
by Kalyan Devikumar on 2008-09-11 17:39:35.230211+05:30
Do they deserve this is the question??????I definitely feel we are burdening the exchequer when the nation is fighting against Inflation and Bihar is reeling under floods.When the Government is providing all the benefits to these heads is it necessary?Its for the experts to decide.But as we public we are concerned at the fate of the country's progress.They are all just the rubber stamps of the government and we in turn pay them the royalty for being one.

Their electricity bill alone is more than 5 times their so called salary. That being so one can imagine their life style. And such life style at whose cost? You and me.
