View Point : SAINIK SAMAJ PARTY - Balbir Singh Parmar

1.  Of late we have been listening in electronic media and both houses of parliament, a phrase called "Conflict of Interests or COI". Conflict of interests is a valid argument/plea provided it is proved.
 
2.  The biggest case of Conflict of Interests is our own government itself. By government I mean the all three wings/pillars (so called) of government. The same set of people (ruling party/combine) are the law makers or sitting in Parliament and same set or sub-set of people are in executive as ministers or state ministers and Chairmen of some corporation or boards. Isn't it the biggest conflict of Interest.
 
3.  These very ministers lead by PM recommend the appointment of judges. Therefore, COI gets compounded. This leads to non accountability of the governance and the ultimate sufferer are  people and especially those who have no voice. Armed Forces are classic examples of this no voice phenomenon because constitution has curtailed their freedom of speech.
 
4.   To further this aim, bureaucracy has further complicated the voting  process for servicemen.
 
5.   The COI in the case of Parliamentary Democratic functioning is not overt but it it covert. This form of governance has given rise to double speak, one for public consumption and another for the benefit of politicians and bureaucracy. We have to find a solution for this covert COI. This double speak has lead to the formation of NEXUS between politician and bureaucrats.
 
6.   The only method to solve this COI and avoid formation of NEXUS is the Presidential Democracy with duel sovereignty where people will elect legislature and executive separately.

OROP and Beyond : Onset of Achchey Din


SAINIK SAMAJ PARTY - NATION WIDE CLASS ROOM (NWCR)
1. Veterans are into 84th day of their Relay Hunger Strike and later FuD associated with it for their right of OROP. Modi Administration is dithering. Mr Prime Minister is indecisive and the bureaucracy is having a field day playing with the sentiments of Veterans.
2. Veterans must get their right on two counts. One that they have been wronged as a group since Independence, always downplayed by vested interests by mass baseless politicians of the likes of Nehru, over egoistic politicians like Indira gandhi, clueless politician like Rajiv gandhi and over confident PM like narendra Modi; and Secondly the ever depriciating value of rupee engineered by so called western educated economists, bureaucrats, with concurrence of politicians.
3. Rupee has been systematically devalued and working classes has been cheated systematically. For that matter all citizens needs to be compensated but Veterans have a strong case because some of their fundamental rights have been snatched by the state due to the nature of service but they have not been compensated adequately. If government feels that they need to pay to others as well nobody is stopping them.
4. OROP is the basic right of a soldier and he must get that. If anyone is against OROP he/she is welcome to speak to me one on one basis. let it be any Minister/bureaucrat/corporate hoonchos/or any IIM professor who has been seen speaking agaist OROP.
5. As I write this post, I am hearing on TV that government to announce OROP unilaterally. If the government thinks that VETERANS are going to buy their misconceived OROP, they are badly mistaken. OROP will never die down. It has given new direction to Indian politics. It has broken the hesitation of VETERANS of being apolitical.
6. A point of being apolitical for VETERANS. Armed forces can never be apolitical since it being an instrument of STATE. STATE is a political entity, then how come an instrument of state be apolitical. ARMED FORCES are NON-PARTISAN and not apolitical. And this myth has been shattered in the Battle for OROP. VETERANS are ready to done the mantle of "THE SOLDIERS AND THE STATEMENT". The OROP agitation spin-off has been rightly harnessed by SAINIK SAMAJ PARTY whose membership has swelled during this period along with other CITIZEN SOLDIERS,
7. The Campaign will be taken to next stage. Under the banner of UFESM and of course SSP (SAINIK SAMAJ PARTY). So far SSP has remained dormant and support UFESM but in comming days it it going to ware its fangs. This development will herald the nation into new era of "ACHCHEY DIN" which this nation can never see under this Truncated Democracy called Parliamentary Democracy.
8. SAINIK SAMAJ PARTY wants that this nation must herald into new form of Democracy called PRESIDENTIAL DEMOCRACY so that the voice of people could be heard loud and clear by the administration.
9. Till the OROP agitation is on under UFESM, SSP stands by it. Dirty Tricks of Administration and Bureaucracy will not succeed. Mr Prime Minister it seems you have rxhausted of Achchey Din; not to worry, we the VETERANS will get it for the NATION.

SAINIK SAMAJ PARTY : NATION WIDE CLASS ROOM (NWCR)


LESSON 9 : VARIOUS SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE PREVAILENT IN THE WORLD 


World has more than 200 independent countries and no two countrries have the same system of governance. There is a variation to a lessaer or greater extent. However, all these governments can be grouped into following thirteen types of governance system:- 



1. PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS WITHOUT A PRIME MINISTER. A presidential system is a system of government where an executive branch is led by a president who serves as both head of state and head of government. In such a system, this branch exists separately from the legislature, to which it is not responsible and which it cannot, in normal circumstances, dismiss. Example: USA. 



2. PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS WITH A PRIME MINISTER. A presidential system with a prime Minister is a system of government where an executive branch is led by a president who is assisted in its function by a Prime minister and his Ministers who are appointed by president and ratified by Legislature. If the Legislature does not approve the Prime Minister up till laid down number of times, the President may dissolve the Legislature and order fresh elections. Example: Russia. 



3. SEMI-PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS. In semi-presidential systems, there is usually both a president and a prime minister. In such systems, the president has genuine executive authority, unlike in a parliamentary republic, but some of the role of a head of government is exercised by the prime minister. Example: France. 



4. DIRECTORIAL SYSTEMS. The directorial system is the collective version of the presidential system. In a directorial republic a council jointly exercises both presidential and governmental powers. The council is appointed by the parliament (and democratically elected at local level), but it is not subject to political confidence during its term which has a fixed duration. Example: Switzerland. 



5. PARLIAMENTARY REPUBLICS. A parliamentary republic is a system in which a prime minister is the active head of the executive branch of government and also leader of the legislature. The president's degree of executive power may range from being reasonably significant (e.g. Pakistan) to little (e.g. India) or none at all (e.g. Ireland). Where the president holds little executive power, his or her function is primarily that of a symbolic figurehead. Example: India. 



6. MIXED REPUBLICAN SYSTEMS. A combined head of state and government is elected by the legislature; however they are not subject to parliamentary confidence during their term (although their cabinet is). Example: South Africa. 



7. CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHIES WITH CEREMONIAL MONARCHS. Constitutional monarchies are those governance systems in which prime minister is the active head of the executive branch of government. In some cases the prime minister is also leader of the legislature, in other cases the executive branch is clearly separated from legislature although the entire cabinet or individual ministers must step down in the case of a vote of no confidence. The head of state is a constitutional monarch who only exercises his or her powers with the consent of the government, the people or their representatives. Examples: UK of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. 



8. CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHIES WITH ACTIVE MONARCHS. The prime minister is the nation's active executive but the monarch still has considerable political powers that can be used at their own discretion. Examples: Jordan, UAE, etc. 



9. ABSOLUTE MONARCHIES. Monarchies in which the monarch's exercise of power is unconstrained by any substantive constitutional law are known as Absolute Monarchies. Example: Saudi Arabia. 



10. THEOCRACIES. States based on a state religion where the head of state is selected by some form of religious hierarchy. Example: Vatican City, Iran. 



11. SINGLE POLITICAL MOVEMENT STATES. States in which political power is by law concentrated within a single political party whose operations are largely fused with the government hierarchy (as opposed to states where the law establishes a multi-party system but this fusion is not achieved anyway through electoral fraud or simple inertia). However, some do have elected governments. Example: China. 



12. MILITARY JUNTA STATES. The nation's military control the organs of government and all high-ranking political executives are also members of the military hierarchy. Example : Myanmar (till sometime back). 
13. TRANSITIONAL. States which have a system of government which is in transition or turmoil and are classified with the current direction of change are classified as transitional. Recent past examples: Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Afghanistan, and possibly ISIS, etc. 



India is a parliamentary republic. It has just four options to evaluate if it wants to switch over to any other system of governance, viz; Presidential Democracy without a Prime Minister as in USA, Presidential Democracy with a Prime Minister as in Russia, Quasi-Presidential Democracy as in France, or Mixed Republican system as in South Africa. The most effective separation of legislature and executive is achieved only in the Presidential Democracy without a Prime Minister. It affords maximum checks and balances in any democratic system and hence the SAINIK SAMAJ PARTY advocates the Presidential Democracy without a Prime Minister.
