Re: [HumJanenge] We are Doomed with Selfish and Shameless Political Decision Making - Air India

Hi All,

 

Visiting Toronto, in the midst of our longish visit to New York, India can be seen in

a better Perspective.

 

Air India, should long have been privatised. If we are the only Fully operated Government Carrier(and Not justified)
then sustained Effort should Continue to be mounted on the Government, To do so now!

 

This crisis is an opportunity to do so Now, and Let all of Us hope for it, and Do whatever we can!

 

We Indians have to give up the trait of Not punishing the Wrong Doer...the guilty.

 

We have to work hard ourselves;  A mantra i have picked up

"

"People Do what you inspect, and Not what you Expect !"

 

So our work is cut out for us, we have to take it seriously.

 

Here in Long Island, a very important elecfed leader is called a 'Supervisor' and she is running the whole Town !!

 

Let us Work seriously.

 

Arun

Dear Friends,
 
There has been a public out cry in the media since long to privatise Air India. This has been a big drain on the nation's  resources. The money saved can be better utilised to eliminate poverty.  
 
It is high time that this esteemed "Maharaja" is given a farewell  & let the corporates run the Airlines.
 
 Col Khera's  concern & deep anger  are justified.

Dear Friends,

We are the only country in the world which has a national carrier fully owned and operated by the government. Air India has already bled us, the citizens of 100,000 Cr tax payer money and our BPL figure is 32/-. Is any one answerable ? Does any one ask also about why selfish and shameless political decision continues for Air India ? All politicians have sealed their lips. 

Look at the Army. One case of disobedience of orders and in less than 24 hours, decision is taken to sack the commanding officer and disband the unit. Kudos to the Army for living up to its highest standard of discipline.

 Air India has eaten away 100,000 Cr of citizens money and Parliament has all the time to waste on frivolous discussion on democracy of 60 years. If Minister of Civil Aviation has any self respect, he would have forced the PM to call for an emergency meeting and proposed the sell off of Air India. If PM has any self respect, he would call for a cabinet meeting to prepare a resolution and then discuss it in Parliament, get the approval and have it endorsed by the President. All this in 48 hours. Above all, what is Mme Sonia Gandhi doing as UPA II Chairperson ?

Brilliant RTI minds and excellent lawyers in the esteemed HJ group, request save the nation through what ever is possible, RTIs/PILs/court case etc etc. I have no idea. May God save us.

Jai Hind.       

 

With warm regards,

Col Mahesh Khera
