In the unenviable record of the UPA Government, more and more events are taking place which are totally unprecedented in these 65 years of independence. It started with the series of stinking scams and the consequential back-breaking inflation for the aam admi, issues that have dominated several parliament sessions in recent years.

भारतीय चुनावों के इतिहास में, पिछले सप्ताह घटित तीन घटनाओं का अतीत में कोई साम्य नहीं मिलता।   पहली, भारतीय जनता पार्टी की ओर से चुनाव आयोग को की गई शिकायत पर आयोग ने विधि, न्याय एवं अल्पसंख्यक मामलों के केंद्रीय मंत्री सलमान खुर्शीद की आदर्श आचार संहिता का उल्लंघन करने पर सार्वजनिक रूप से निंदा की।   दूसरे, विधि मंत्री ने चुनाव आयोग के आदेश की अवहेलना की। आयोग ने कहा:   ”श्री खुर्शीद आज (11 फरवरी, 2012) भी यह वक्तव्य देते देखे गए कि आयोग भले ही चाहे जो निर्देश दे, वह अपने पूर्व वक्तव्य पर कायम हैं। वास्तव में, केन्द्रीय मंत्री ने आगे यह भी कहा ”यदि वे मुझे फांसी भी दे दें” तो भी वह अपने पूर्व बयान पर अडिग रहेंगे। हमारा मानना है कि केंद्रीय मंत्री के तेवर आयोग द्वारा उनको दिए गए विधिपूर्ण निर्देश के प्रति उपेक्षापूर्ण और अपमानसूचक हैं।”   तीसरे, चुनाव आयोग … Continue reading कांग्रेस ने किया उत्तर प्रदेश चुनाव अभियान का साम्प्रदायिकरण
