Not Economic, Budget is POLITICAL Meant For Economic Ethnic Cleansing, Prepared by Politician Ruling Zionist Brahaminical Hegemony with Only Representation from the Market Dominating Community, the Brahamins!
 
Suppose,we do agree with the Brahaminical theory that Muslims, Muslim League and Jinnah are the responsible factors for the Plight and Suffering of the Refugees as Partition Victims. Tell, me who made and implemented the Refugee Policy? Who distinguished between East and West Pakistan Refugees? Who ensured DISCRIMINATION? Who did Scatter the Refugees all over India in FOREST Land/ Who SEGREGATED and Persecuted and Deported us in FREE India?

Not Economic, Budget is POLITICAL Meant For Economic Ethnic Cleansing, Prepared by Politician Ruling Zionist Brahaminical Hegemony with Only Representation from the Market Dominating Community, the Brahamins!
 
Kapil Krishna Thakur and CPIM backed Dalit Movement involving Brahamins only Reject the Brahaminical Vengeance Theory and hold Muslims , Muslim League and Jinnah the only Factors Relevant and Responsible for the Partition of India.
 
They have Hijacked the Refugee Coordination Committee constituted in  Mulnivasi Bamcef organised All India Convention against Citizenship Amendment Act, held in Nagpur, 2005. Mulnivasi Bamcef has been Launching Sustained Campaign against the Persecution and Deportation of the Mulnivasi SC Refugees since 2000 based on Mulnivasi Concept and Ideology which includes SC, ST, OBC and Muslims with other converted minorities. We were always ready to welcome any attempt to strengthen Community wise internal organisations and institutions. We also supported the Nagpur Convention of the Bengali Refugees recently. But I am stunned to see the Report document of the Convention which is based on Muslim Hatred in the Defence of Brahamins. It refers neither to the Discriminating Refugee Policy adopted by Centre and state Governments nor the latest VENTURE BRAHAMINICAL Unique Identity Number Project!
 
Suppose,we do agree with the Brahaminical theory that Muslims, Muslim League and Jinnah are the responsible factors for the Plight and Suffering of the Refugees as Partition Victims. Tell, me who made and implemented the Refugee Policy? Who distinguished between East and West Pakistan Refugees? Who ensured DISCRIMINATION? Who did Scatter the Refugees all over India in FOREST Land/ Who SEGREGATED and Persecuted and Deported us in FREE India? Why did we not get Compensation? Why do we not Get Reservation out of Bengal? Why We were Deprived of Political Representation? Who did stop West Bengal Brahamins to Settle Bengali Refugees in Bengal even in Six Decades/ Why did the Bengali Brahamin or other MPs Never voiced Refugee Problems , Demand of Reservation, Demand of Citizenship, Demand Of Mother Tongue during last SIX Decades/ Why does the Bengali Leadership BRAHAMINICAL Hate us Refugees and are so INDIFFERENT, APATHETIC? Who Deleted the Names of Bengali Refugees from Voters` List in Bengal? WHO RECOGNISED PUNJABIES  PARTITION VICTIMS AND NOT BENGALI? Who Registered Punjabies as Citizens? Who Denied Citizenship to us ? Why did the Brahamins of Bengal coined Transit Camp and Dole? Why did the Refugees were Deprived of Malaikana Haq, OWNERSHIP on their land even after six Decades?  Why most of the Refugee Colonies in Bengal stand UNAUTHORISED till this Date? Who called the Settled Bengali SC Refugees to West Bengal and MASSACRED them in Marichjhanpi? Why did BUDDHA initiated the Deportation Drive pursuing ADWANI to introduce CITIZENSHIP Amendment Bill and ENACTED the Bill with ALL Party Consensus? Why did not PRANAB Mukherjee set a date of Hearing with SC Refugees? Why did he launch the Deportation Drive ? Why the districts of COASTAL Orissa inhabited by Bengali Refugees are Selected for UNIQUE Identity Project?
 
I insist that this ANTI Muslim Campaign would NEVER Help Bengali Refugees any more and it would rather Strengthen the Ruling Zionist Brahaminical Hegemony to sustain MANUSMRITIRule for ETHNIC Cleansing!
 
 
Not a day without ET, says Pranab Mukherjee
28 Feb 2010, 0126 hrs IST, Partha Ghosh & Shantanu Nandan Sharma , ET Bureau
 
On Saturdays, Raisina Hill isn’t the usual hub of big business and policy. There are few cars and fewer men. But for one man, finance minister
Pranab Mukherjee
Pranab Mukherjee, this Saturday is just another normal day. At the corner office in North Block, Mukherjee, 74, who presented the Union Budget on Friday, is busy clearing stacks of files. He is just back from the annual meeting of an industry association and has to meet industrialists again in the evening. SundayET caught up with him for a freewheeling chat over a cup of tea—on what it is like to be FM, his vision and what the future holds. Here are edited excerpts from the interview.

How does it feel the day after the Budget? You have just accomplished yet another feat in your life.

It is quite a busy day today. I have a number of interactions. I attended the Ficci annual meet in the morning. They wanted to hold it before the presentation of the Budget, but I advised them that I don’t attend any major function before the Budget. So they postponed it for today. I am also constantly getting responses and feedback on the Budget. It’s an usual day.

Did you go to bed last night with a feeling that yours was a job well done? Having heard your critics, any regrets?

You see, we have made a product. Now, whether it will have an impact or not, let’s wait and see. But I have one satisfaction that whatever was possible in the given situation, we have done it. Not that it’s a spectacular Budget. I won’t say so. Let others work out and comment on it, but whatever I committed during the last year, you link it with that, I tried my best to fulfil my earlier commitments. Whatever I have done on fiscal consolidation, I have done it according to my earlier commitments. Regarding the partial roll-back of the stimulus, it’s not prudent on my part to roll back the stimulus completely till we have a robust economy. So, I have done it partly. You if look at the Budget, you will also find my thrusts on inclusive growth. See, 37% of the gross budgetary support for this year, is made in social sectors alone. While allocating the fund, I had to be pragmatic. I decided that I would allocate fund to a ministry, not exactly proportionately of what they spent during the last year, but keeping in mind how they utilised their fund. We did an assessment of the absorption capacity of a particular ministry before allocating fund to it.

When you began preparing this year’s Budget, what was on your mind? Did you have a vision, say India is going to be like this 10 years from now and our children should remember this Budget for something special?

You know, in our Parliamentary system, we have our own agenda being covered in manifestoes. So, the government that comes to power has its own agenda. It’s not about any individual, but it’s more a collective responsibility. For any major policy, we do go back to our manifesto. Also in India, we have another document—the Five Year-Plan. During the earlier time, Five Year Plans were synchronised with our government formation. It’s no longer the case now.

But anyway, the current plan was done during our time only. Our manifesto is in sync with the government’s economic agenda. So from the day one, we have an economic agenda well in place. I have been involved in drafting of Congress party manifestoes right from 1977. I know it very well that our economic agenda is the same as our political agenda.

  • More funds for families to play with

    Saturday February 27, 2010 08:15 am PST

    India, Feb. 27 -- The Budget proposals intend to calm the nerves of the Indian household, which suffered the previous year due to double-digit food inflation apart from other inflationary and recessionary trends which affected family finances adversely.


    From the perspective of financial planning, a larger disposable income is channelised to long-term asset creation and meeting a family's financial goals. The Budget proposes to leave more funds with the family for effective financial planning. A household with a net taxable income of Rs 5 lakh can save an additional Rs 20,600 in income tax in the new fiscal. This increases to Rs 51,500 if the taxable income rises to Rs 8 lakh.


    The recent downturn drove families to manage their finances prudently, keeping in check their discretionary spends. The additional disposable income should be deployed towards achieving long-term financial goals, taking a cue from the government's resolve to implement the Direct Taxes Code (DTC) with effect from April 1, 2011.


    The impending Exempt-Exempt-Tax scenario should propel families to invest savings and liquidity not solely to save income tax. The implementation of the DTC could redefine the taxation structure in savings instruments and rationalise tax sops for home loans.


    Goals such as retirement should be given a holistic view of long-term asset creation by employing a strategic asset allocation and risk management regime. The additional tax savings to the extent of Rs 20,000 in infrastructure bonds to be notified by the government should be seen in this perspective where the lock-in period and impact of tax on redemption need careful study..

     

    The Budget further consolidates on the roadmap charted for a sustained high GDP growth of 9 per cent, with an emphasis on harnessing the economic growth to make development more inclusive and restructuring the government's delivery mechanism.


    The government's determination to have greater financial inclusion, financial literacy and inter-regulatory cohesion would aid the process of a sustainable investment scenario, which will equally benefit the investing public and industry.


    We expect the roadmap to the 2010-20 decade to open up more avenues for holistic financial panning by the Indian household.
