I wonder when our media and news channel will start realizing their responsibility on sensitive matters. Most of the time, these agencies to increase their TRP ratings, provide all security details to general population. Sometime back I was watching one of the news channel and they were showing all the details regarding the possible attach on one of the airport. While covering this story, they showed all the security arrangements as well. Needless to say that terrorists got a clue and changed their planning.

As a minister he is under oath of secrecy to the President of India and hence cannot divulge anything. And for his own fame & glory, it is better for him to keep it under wraps.
Budget is not something where there are too many secrets, they are done in colloboration with several bodies, inputs are taken from so many sources and finally consolidated. some security is all right but this kind of arangements to me looks unwaranted.
may be this is also one of the british legacies we are still following, like the 5 pm presentation, which i suppose the britishes wanted to hear on their radio after lunch in UK.
The arrangements are good .. but the most corrupt man, the one who needs to be watched and kept under survellience .. he has gone to UK London now and will come back by 28th evening to deliver the budget speech ... what a mess .. Hail India Inc !
Woh... mind bogling. The matter is kept so secret for a month. It is evident that there are no ladies in the group. They will spill the beans on the drop a hat.
Then why was all the details of the Budget were known to late Ambani when he was alive?? His pointman used to get the details regarding which product is going to be taxed while importing what percentage tax allowance can be availed on a particular product etc., were available to him before the papers went to the FFM's hand. Then he used to manipulate the export and import section of his company and reap huge profits. That was the way he used to mint money. As he and Harshad Mehta told.. ' I did not kill any one or snatch any body's wealth. I just gave what I have to some needy greedy' Both did not say, I took the information I wanted. No blackmailing, no snatching no killing. But they killed India's system in such a manner that it took whole Government machinery overhauling. If it is called business acumen, yes., it was. Now his sons are aware that they are in the watchful eyes, so they will tread this path very very carefully. There may be some loopholes. After few years, it will comeout and by that time it will be a genius job to plug it. Once I read about Russians spying on American embassy in Moscow. There was some device kept in a pillar of the embassy building which transmitted the letters being typed on the typewriter.Later on it was found out by Americans, after noticing the flow of message to Russ

I fully join with your opinion. There are thousands of tax evaders and black marketers in this country but nobody is concerned or interested about punishing those people. On the other the common people are forced to pay various types of taxes in course of meeting our day to day needs, a major chunk of which is enjoyed by our MPs and Ministers. A semi-literate peon still earns below Rs.1,000/- per month whereas an MP or Minister of same qualification earns in lakhs. There are thousands of villages in the country where drinking water is not provided even after 60 years of independence. The politicians and Ministers will go to London and U.S.A. for treatment in case of minor ailments but the poor and hapless are destined to die on the verandahs of Govt. run hospital without proper medical care. The entire system in the country has become corrupted and the rule of law is only for the poor and have nots.
