Bureaucrats should stick to their professional business and should not transgress all the bounds of decency at the behest of politicians.

Topic of discussion is ok but in reality both use each other according to their agenda.

Another victory for Modi Govt
Ms. Jagjit Pawadia has been elected as President of INCB, Vienna. She is a former IRS officer. This is another victory for Modi Govt and his Principal Secretary Mishra for placing India's human capital for the world with a vision. India should continue to push and help officers selected through competition on merit. This is a good sign after World Bank group success for India. IRS officers due to their hard work and commitment have been in demand with the international organisation.

Politicians will dump the bureaucrats in cases of the latter's misdemeanours and misconduct in order to save the image of the Government. Otherwise, they are favourite with politicians.

Great boost to officers ?
This is the right opportunity for the GoI to recruit personnel for CBI, central intelligence agencies and central police organisations through UPSC based upon a competitive exam and personality test. IPS officers should not be deputed at any cost to these organisations. Only officers directly recruited by these organisations should be appointed chiefs. That will be a great boost to the officers of the organisations listed above..

Infact, bureaucrats use politicians because the later have lack of rules and regulations.

Chances of WWIII looming large ?
I am in complete agreement with AK Saxena, it is almost certain India China and India-Pakistan are going to be the boiling points. The moment it starts Taiwan, Hong Kong, Iran. North Korea and above all Israel Palestine fronts will follow immediately. Chances of WWIII looming large as unipolarity is dead and balance of power is missing for too long with the collapse of USSR. Chinese would be paying a heavy price. Wish 5 provinces of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau declare independence. This is only in the interest of India in long run, of course it would be a mad destruction infinite, not healthy for world economy

Though both politicians and bureaucrats use each other buit come politicians back close confidant bureaucrats to the hilt. Mamta Banerjee always stands by the bureaucrats when it comes to the crunch.

“Will WW-3 precede the 3rd wave ?”
US’ 90 days deadline to CIA for demystifying the Wuhan leakage is meaningless. The entire world is convinced of China's complicity. No escape for it.
The world cannot remain a mute witness. Fearing world-wide retaliation and negative publicity, China could be preparing for pre-emptive strikes at LAC and with Pakistan at LOC.
Ignoring the disengagement agreement with India , China has started mobilising war machinery along the LAC. Likewise, Pakistan after throwing the cease-fire accord with India to the wind, has escalated hostilities along the LOC with enhanced proxy attacks.
The joint conspiracy against India,is unquestioned with worldwide ramifications. Offensives could start anytime before expiry of 90 days.

Government of India should come out with a clear policy of ending the impasse relating to CSS/CSSS promotion which is lingering on for years. Of late they have given some adhoc promotions, that too for a long wait. They should try to end the court cases smoothly and come out with a policy like other services are getting. Especially in this pandemic, CSS/CSSS are continuously working without any break and so many people have lost their lives. It will be a definite boost to the employees/officers which their promotions which are due is considered and issued on time. It is high time that the GoI should act swiftly. Otherwise our morale will be down. Take care of our cadres also please

The policy of giving extensions beyond the age of superannuation and post-retirement jobs should be discontinued for all as it gives birth to ‘Yes-man’ culture. Officials don’t object to the wrongs of the government for fear of annoying them as they would then loose post retirement opportunities. This should apply to all - the Cabinet Secretary, Chief Secretary, Chairman of PSUs and Banks, CEO of the railways as also the Judges. No one is indispensable and the other officers awaiting these postings after long and dedicated service should get their due .

Politicians pull no punches when it comes to taking on country’s bureaucracy. PM’s views on bureaucracy was evident when he made a statement before Parliament.The bureaucracy is simmering .
Be that as it may, the face-off between PM and CM, West Bengal is perennial and a matter of concern.
The Centre vide its letter dt May 28,2021, recalled WB chief secretary(CS) Alapan Bandyopadhyay , ordering him to report to DoPT “at 10 AM on May 31. Strangely, the Chief Secretary was slated to retire on same day.He was,however, granted three-month extension by the centre at State govt’s request just a week back. CM,Bengal did not relieve the CS. The centre and States have become “butt of a joke”.
Time is being wasted on trivial issues. May good sense prevail . Our politicians must jettison stubbornness and egotism in a federal set-up. No justification in behaving like the Lords.
Country is passing through a grueling period. There are security issues crying for attention. Besides corona, the country is facing threats from hostile neighbours. While, China is mobilizing military troops and supplies for war at the LAC, Pakistan has escalated infiltration by carrying out terror attacks. Turkey is secretly building defence infrastructure in POK under garb of constructing “ amusement parks and resorts ”. Boosting tourism in POK-Gilgit-Baltistan is bizarre especially as these territories are trying for a divorce from Pakistan.
One hopes, the country stands united to overcome the multiple crises.
