Good governance

The Hon'ble Supreme Court has said that the entire alleged grave-digging case against Ms.Teesta Seetalvad is malafide. "This is a malafide case," the bench observed. "It was the state which should have been prosecuted for the violation of the human rights..." observed the Hon'ble Court.

Watch the TV this evening and I bet you will see some smarties trying to convince the viewers that this judgment is in fact a compliment for the State Government and its leader for its 'good governance'... ...

Parliamentary Secretaries

There is an Hon'ble Minister in charge of a Department in every State, and there is a Secretary of the Department (a bureaucrat).

I recently read that a state governemt has appointed a number of "Parliamentary Secretaries". My impression is that their pay and perks are at par with those of the Hon'ble Ministers.

But what work are the Parliamentary Secretaries supposed to be doing?

Don't ask me .....
