Sad situation in Egypt. It has gone from frying pan to fire. First they battled to oust one dictator, only to bring in another and a more powerful one at that. Why are the western govt., keeping mum on this ?

Why do you want anyone to intervene? This is Egypt's internal matter. If the west intervenes people criticize them, if they don't people still criticize them.

Ha, I'm not "wanting" them to intervene, I just wonder why the west hasn't reacted to it so far !

IAF draws flak for using AN-32 for VIP duties

 

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) reprimanded the defence ministry and IAF for modifying the AN-32 aircraft in VIP configuration and flying them for eight years even though there were no government sanctions for modification and the IAF was short of AN-32 platforms.

 

The IAF argument of temporary fitments of VIP seats and the use of these aircrafts to carry the chiefs and senior officers for morale boosting of troops did not cut ice with the powerful House panel, which felt that the “modification was irregular and unjustified and more so when it was done despite non-approval of the government and IAF did not have adequate number of serviceable aircraft.”

 

The Air Headquarters had modified six AN-32 during 2001-03 for VIP use. Prior to that two similar aircraft were modified between 1992 and 1999 for similar purposes.

 

The modifications were carried out despite availability of two Boeing aircrafts, four executive jets, seven Avros and six helicopters with the IAF Communications Squadron – which is in charge of VIP flights.

 

In its report tabled in both Houses of the Parliament, Murli Manohar Joshi-led PAC said that from 1999 to 2006, the modified AN-32 fleet was used to fly for 2270 hours to ferry defence ministers, service chiefs and other designated officials even though there was a shortfall of about 50 per cent for its mandated tasks.

Dissapointed by the bad turnout at the MMRDA ground for the Jan Lokpal Movement, mumbaikars r lazy to say the least(And yes for sure its not about taking a stand against Anna Hazare movement)... Some of the tweets regarding it :-

 

"#Mumbaikars don't even go to vote, why would they bother to go watch a old man fast for them."

 

"#Mumbaikars can only 'adjust' " - True!!

 

"A city repeatedly marking its name in histry ovr sevral bomb blast, ths time gt a chance 2 mark its name ovr a revolution.Mumbaikars ignored"

 

"More Mumbaikars would have turned up at MMRDA if he would have guaranteed seats for everyone...in the local trains"

 

"Interesting dichotomy in Mumbai,they dont turn out to vote, they dont turn out for Anna Hazare, what will bring Mumbaikars to the streets ?"

 

Sad but true... U may argue about some of the speech and methods adopted by so-called 'Team Anna' but u cannot question the validity of the protest.

probably but as i told you on PM, the discussion was veering towards political ground and we do not allow that here. Obaid explained it to you already. You can post the news again, but any discussion changing to political ground will be nipped in the bud.

 

Now go play some games.

 

PS: when i say my wish, it means my wish :P

What do u mean by 'my wish'?? Except for 1-2 lines, most of the discussion wasnt political!!

 

It was as relevant as anything else on this news thread?? Is the lokpal thing not recent news and relates to a new legislation, it is not political at all!!

Completely agree, something needs to be done regarding his biased perspective on loads of issues, its high time some 1 reported him to the admins, he has been editing posts needlessly, file a complaint against him BlahBlahBlah

For god's sake I wrote my opinion on Lokpal issue and when they said don't politicize it, I accepted it... But majority of my post was related to creating awareness about the issue and I don't have those posts saved me, that I can post it whenever I want..

 

Totally dissapointed by this, I have been perhaps one of the oldest member on this forum even though I don't write many posts, but I almost come here daily and u are saying that it was ur wish to delete those posts and I can write again if I want is really really disappointing...
