NCW says, “domestic violence cases have more than doubled than what it was before the lockdown. UP, Bihar, Haryana and Punjab reported higher violence”.  According to the NCW, main reason is because men are at home where they take out their frustration on women and refuse to participate in domestic work. This is also because Indian women are mostly confined to the four walls of the house and don’t have opportunity to share their predicament with anybody.

On foreign front, India received a severe beating worldwide, religious freedom and treatment of its minorities and dalits were criticized. Worldwide, media showed India in bad light. All our neighbours became hostile, the latest being Nepal, only Hindu majority country other than India, over border disputes. US State Department showed India as a non-democratic authoritarian country notwithstanding Prime Minister’s personal tactical bonhomie with President Trump. India has been depicted as a country with rising social divide, tension, and social strife, pointing the nation is not the right destination for foreign investors.

सवाल है कि उत्तर प्रदेश की सरकार ने उत्तराखंड या कोटा से अपने लोगों को लाने का जो फैसला किया, उस पर अमल भी किया, वह लॉकडाउन का उल्लंघन था या नहीं? प्रधानमंत्री की ‘जो जहाँ है, वहीं रहेगा’ की नसीहत के खिलाफ था या नहीं?

5 जुलाई, 2009 को सर्वेक्षण की रिपोर्ट प्रकाशित हुई। वह रिपोर्ट जब से प्रकाश में आयी, तब से न केंद्र सरकार के राजनीतिक स्वास्थ्य में कोई परिवर्तन हुआ और न राज्य सरकारों की प्रशासनिक सेहत में कोई खास तब्दीली आयी। हां, सिर्फ यह सूचना प्रसारित होती रही कि देश के कई सरकारी ‘प्रभु व महाप्रभु’ किसी अबूझ मानसिक बीमारी के शिकार हो गये हैं – ‘स्वाइन फ्लू’ जैसी बीमारी के। इसलिए उनकी बोलती लड़खड़ाते-लड़खड़ाते कुछ बंद-सी होने लगी है! लेकिन फ़िक्र की कोई बात नहीं, जल्द ही वे स्वस्थ होकर आंकड़ों के नये इम्पोर्टेड हथियारों के साथ आर्थिक मोर्चे पर डट जाएंगे।

Latest instances of a 14-year old girl raising slogans of “Pakistan Zindabad” and “Hindustan Zindabad” at a public rally in Bengaluru and child students and their teachers of a school at Bidar in a drama critical of the Citizenship Amendment Act and Prime Ministerover granting Indian citizenship on religious grounds to non-Muslims from three neighbouring countries and their framing up by the police under the dreaded sedition law, have put spotlight on the gross misuse of sedition laws by the official machinery.The latest data shows that this British era law remains as relevant as ever before the Independence with ever increasing arrests under this dreaded provision during the NDA Union Government and BJP ruled States. Sedition cases rose from 31 in 2016 to 51 in 2017 and 70 in 2018. NCRB does not show data of sedition cases before 2014, indicating there was negligible or nil sedition cases before 2014. Sedition, under Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code(IPC), is defined any action that brings or attempts to bring hatred or contempt towards the government, has been legal in the country since 1870.

There have been continuing efforts for gender justice in order to remove all types of prejudices against women. But dominance of patriarchy is continuing its fetter unabated. Men folks do not want their turf of power and pelf to be shared equally with women. That is why there has been inadequate representation of women in public services, police, armed forces, judiciary and board of directors of the corporate sector. In short, the representation of women in decision making processes has been negligible, making the gender justice elusive.

The survey finds, police are lacking in right training especially down the line in caste, gender, community, religious and human rights sensitization. According to the survey, more than 10 per cent police personnel have never got any training. Training can help police address inherent biases. Delivering soft skills training could help police on communication, mediation, leadership, stress management, attitude change to improve their quality work and public perception of police. It reveals further that only 1.3 per cent of total allocations for police across the nation was spent on police training in the 2019 survey. About 43 per cent police all over India believe in extra-judicial killings including encounter killings, so much for adherence to the rule of law based system of governance. Even after the Supreme Court judgement of 2006, directing demarcation between politics and police, 65 per cent of police investigations of crimes continue to be influenced by political interference. Earlier, during the UPA Union Government, a committee of three serving Directors General of Police from three states on the extent of prejudices in police against minorities, SCs, STs, and migrants, under the aegis of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), had also reported wide scale biases in police against these communities.

तो रणनीति के तहत ही सही,  ‘आप’ ने अपनी सरकार के बेहतर काम को मुद्दा बनाया. ऐसे में यदि परिणाम ‘आप’ के पक्ष में जाते हैं, तो सारे देश में और सारे राजनीतिक दलों के लिए एक संदेश जायेगा कि कोई किसी दल की सरकार अच्छा काम करे, तो मतदाता इसी आधार पर उसे दुबारा मौका दे सकते हैं. यह भी कि जनता को हमेशा नकारात्मक और संकीर्ण भावनात्मक प्रचार से बहलाया नहीं जा सकता. 
बेशक केजरीवाल में अनेक कमियां हैं.

Restructuring of railways and merger of service cadres follow Prakash Tandon Committee report of 1994 followed by Rakesh Mohan Committee of 2002, Sam Pitroda Committee of 2012, Sreedharan Committee of 2014 and Debroy Committee of 2015, all pressing for restructuring of Railway Board with the Chairman redesignated from the existing first among equals with a clearly redefined role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) on functional corporate lines from the existing departmental operational mechanism. Vinod Kumar Yadav, who retired on December 31, 2019 as Chairman Railway Board, has since been re-employed for one year as the first CEO of Indian Railways. He has been tasked to oversee and accomplish all the dirty works of corporatization and merger of seniority groups of eight amalgamated cadres, which a regular serving officer will find it difficult to perform the most challenging onerous tasks of privatization.

The Citizenship (Amendment) Act follows pre-General Elections 2019 campaign rhetoric of muscular nationalism, politics of marginalization, politics of exclusion, politics of divisiveness, politics of communalism and politics of majoritarian consolidation, allostensibly in the name of inclusive development, as also promises of BJP before the 2019 General Elections that NRC will be introduced across the country if they returned to power.
