Bengal under TMC control

Bengali Hindus will vote for TMC , BJP or CPIM according to their "intellectual" and "ideological" stand point - causing distribution of majority votes - whereas Musclemans - whether they are PhD holders or rickshawwalas will no doubt vote for TMC according to fatwas. Bengali Hindu intellectual diaspora have always overused and underutilized their intellectual capital - ignoring the obvious fact that it is not an ideological struggle anymore, it's existential. By this time it is proven that education is not the deciding factor after the Red Fort Blast. But theek hai, humein to secular rehna hai naa? We used to resist the central government, now we are just anti India in our standpoint. Shame on us. Humlogo ko sabko saath lene chalne ki theka padi hai as if - bhaijaan aapko kya chahiye, bhaijaan aapko kya chahiye ? Industry declining, employment is a joke , best brains of Bengal are NRBs - and yet they have the audacity to call it a tolerant state? Kya fayda hua tolerance ka?

A Visitor

(DATE WITH RTI completes 17 years on whispers)

No reply about Charitable Trust by the public authority

The Appellant filed an online RTI application dated 28.12.2023 seeking the information about Chiranjeev Charitable Trust which ran three schools. He asked how he was terminated without any show cause notice after 17 years of service. He sought for the permission letter for name change of the society from the Registrar office and other related information. The CIC observed that as per available record file, no reply was given to the Appellant at the initial stage by the answering Respondent and admonished him for the same. However, upon receipt of the hearing notice from the CIC, a suitable and pointwise reply has been given to the Appellant vide letter dated 06.10.2025, but, a copy of the same was not received by the Appellant. Accordingly, the CIC directed the Respondent to send a copy to the appellant along with relevant annexures, through speed-post as well as through email. Further, the CIC cautioned the Respondent Public Authority to act strictly within the precincts of the RTI Act by observing the timelines scrupulously and punctually, in future.

Comments

The simple act of replying to the RTI applicant can prevent the avoidable embarrassment of appearing before the CIC and wastage of time.
