ANALYSIS
It is a matter of shame that Delhi, the heart of India, has witnessed the murder of a student by unidentified persons outside her college. If the national capital is not safe, what can be expected from the less important cities of the country?
Act against PIL
Some time back, the Supreme Court put penalty of Rs1 lakh on frivolous and bogus PILs to deter the litigants. It is a welcome move as such PILs consumed a lot of judicial time, which can be better utilised for regular matters. It has been observed that PIL has become a nuisance and such frivolous PILs should be curbed by imposing heavy penalty, otherwise the litigants will not understand the value of the judicial time. It has been reported that 95% of the PIL's are frivolous and a waste of judicial time. So the action taken by the Supreme Court is in right direction.

'BEST has no role'
Apropos 'MPSC may appoint tainted official to top BEST post' (March 4), it is mentioned in the news that the BEST Undertaking has shortlisted five people for the vacant post of deputy general manager. However, the fact is that the BEST Undertaking has nothing to do with the recruitment procedure for the appointment of deputy general manager. It is the sole discretion of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) which has shortlisted five people for the vacant post.

Stop nuclear growth
This is with reference to the news that US senator Joe Lieberman, chairman of the homeland security and government affairs committee, has called for a brake on building new nuclear plants in the US for the present. Not a single nuclear plant should be built anywhere in India, of course, including in Jaitapur. We should not take any risk of radiation at any time now or in future. In fact, all the present nuclear plants all across India should also be shut down. India can easily generate electricity by means of the solar and the windmill. Let's follow Germany and France in strongly protesting against the nuclear plants.

Plight of being a woman
It is a matter of shame that Delhi, the heart of India, has witnessed the murder of a student by unidentified persons outside her college. If the national capital is not safe, what can be expected from the less important cities of the country? On one hand we celebrate women's day to draw the attention of the world towards the issues being faced by women and to reduce violence against women, when each passing year is witnessing the reverse. The women are the targets of the domestic violence. They are being killed in the name of honour. It is time some concrete action is taken.

Retire from politics
It has become a joke when recently senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader LK Advani said on his blog that credibility of the BJP has fallen after the Babri Masjid demolition and that it was the saddest day of his life. I strongly feel that after getting the Supreme Court notice for demolishing the mosque and the infighting in the party, it seems that Advani is a frustrated man. It is high time LK Advani must stop this drama and concentrate on his own personal work and devote more time for the welfare of the people and retire gracefully from the active politics.

Demonstrating for whom?
This is with reference to 'BJP mega rally throws traffic out of gear', (March 15). One cannot but express regret at the BJP's mega march against corruption that led to traffic jams in various parts of the city. The cause may be noble, but not the style of demonstration. No party or individual has the right to hold the city to ransom. It can be termed to be 'anti-social' because the basic interest of the society is put to inconvenience. This is not the way to eradicate corruption. Why not attack the culprits directly, instead of tampering with the fundamental right of the citizens? Streets are meant for easy movement of vehicles and the public, not to block the routine activities of the citizens.
