Lift ban from recruitment in government sector

News Round-up: HC declines stay order on RSS march

Tamil Nadu Government received a slap from Madras High Court on November 18 when the court declined to stay the single judge’s order allowing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to take out a procession as part of its founder’s day celebrations.
The government submitted that issuing permission was solely within the domain of the executive. As per decisions of the High Court, the court should not have issued a positive direction to grant permission to hold meetings/processions. However, a Division Bench comprising Justices Satish K. Agnihotri and K.K. Sasidharan declined to stay the single judge’s order of November 7.
After the court granted permission, the RSS tried to take out processions at seven places, including Chennai and Coimbatore on November 9, but the police detained them. The government claimed that the judge had erred in arriving at a finding that Section 41-A (1) of the Chennai City Police Act did not apply to processions. (VSK Chennai)

The national convention of Bharatiya Theka Mazadoor Mahasangh, organised in Delhi on November 18, urged the Union government to lift ban from recruitment and take care of the interests of the contract labour. The speakers said there has been an apparent shift in the attitude of the Government towards the workers, i.e. from Welfare motto to Commercial motto. They alleged that in the name of sustenance in the global market and for achieving growth in terms of GDP and Stock Markets rate the successive governments closed eyes and ears on social impact of the brazen economic policies.
In a resolution, the Mahasangh said the ban imposed by the Government from 1985 on recruitment against created and existing vacancies and creation of posts for the new assets in all offices, establishments of Central Government, all State Governments and their Public Sector Units and the granting of permission for engagement of workers on the systems of casual, contract and outsource has converted formal employment in to informal employment.
The convention was presided over by president of the Mahasangh Shri Brij Bihari Sharma and was inaugurated by Shri Satyanaran Jatiya, MP. Delegates from all states and all sectors of industry like Railways, Defence, Public Transport, Public and Private Sector Industries & Service Sector participated.

Malaviyaji, not Nehru, is builder of Modern Bharat
—Dr Murli Manohar Joshi

“Pt Madan Mohan Malaviya truly wanted to bind together the ancient Indian and modern western education system into one thread. It is clearly visible in Kashi Hindu University (BHU),” said RSS Sahasarkaryavah Dr Krishna Gopal, while speaking at a function organised by alumni of BHU in Delhi recently. Senior BJP leader Dr Murli Manohar Joshi was also present.
Dr Krishna Gopal further said Malaviyaji made arrangements for modern education in the BHU but he maintained the original Indian philosophy there.
Dr Murli Manohar Joshi said those who credit Nehru for building modern Bharat are wrong. Fact is that this credit goes to Malaviyaji who set up a University in 1916 for imparting education in engineering. —Bureau Report
