Bureaucrats never allowed democracy to flourish in this country. And hence common person, the real owner of this country always remained deprived of his legitimate rights. They confiscated common person’s rights in hand in gloves with people’s representatives. They have forgotten that they are servants of citizens of India. To make realize their real positon members of “Mahiti Adhikar Katta” have decided to write “public servant” or its abbreviation P.S before or instead of H’ble , Mr. or Mrs. while writing to any public servant. Katta members communicated this to Anna Hazare yesterday.
Here is letter written to Anna
H’ble Anna
The conference of chief ministers
held on 24 may 1997, recognized that as the country completed 50 years of
independence and as the people were assailed by growing doubts about the accountability,
effectiveness and moral standards of administration and hence , central and state governments should move
together to justify the trust of faith of the people in the government by
taking up the implementation of the action plan
The conference also resolved that
the central and state governments would work together to concretize the Action
Plan dealing with the following themes
I. Accountable and
citizen-friendly Government
II. Transparency and Right to
Information and
III. Improving the performance
and integrity of the public service.
Citizens’ Charter, Redressal of
Public Grievances, Peoples Participation, Decentralization and Devolution of
Powers,
In order to carry forward the
Action plan for immediate as well as long term improvement in administration,
it was decided to set up a Committee under the Cabinet Secretary including some
of the Chief Secretaries representing the different regions of the country as
well as some senior officials of Government of India
The states welcomed the
initiatives by the Prime Minister towards more effective and responsive
administration and stated that these initiatives are important and timely.
There after central and state
governments introduced so many so called pro people legislations that too
because of pressure from noted activists like you. But outcome was zero.
Because there was lot of difference in what was written in the laws and actual
situation on ground zero. Even if some pro people legislations were introduced
they made sure that those will not be implemented properly. And hence you will
see lot of former bureaucrats occupied most of the authorities after
retirement.
Politicians and babus never tried
to earn citizens faith back, they just eye washed it. The real culprit in this
process was bureaucracy. Babudom is not willing to loosen its grip on the neck
of democracy. It is not ready to decentralize powers. Hence even 18 years after
all chief ministers’ resolution in presence of then prime minister things
didn’t change.
They never allowed democracy to
flourish in this country. And hence common person , the real owner of this
country was always remain deprived of his legitimate rights. they confiscated
common persons rights in conspiracy with
peoples representatives.
However, what is the solution to
come out of this situation?. Lot needs be done to achieve this. But we can
start with small thing. Normally we use abbreviation like h’ble, Mr., Mrs.
Etc. while writing to public servants. This has created superiority complex in their
mind, and as a result they are not giving any heed to common person’s problems.
To overcome this common
person should now start showing Public servant their real place.
If we write P.S for public
servant before or instead of other abbreviation like H’ble, Mr. Mrs. Etc., we
guess that will definitely make some difference. We don’t want to insult or
abuse them but to show their place that they have forgotten. Hence if one who
wish may write h”ble P.S or P.S Mr/Mrs etc . We the members of “Mahiti Adhikar
Katta” have decided to do so immediately. We request you to support us on this
issue.
