1. Manoj Pant Finance Secretary West Bengal stated in para 5 of his affidavit to #calcuttahighcourt that remitting #DearnessAllowance wud be "beyond the financial capacity of the State Govt."

As DA an inseparable part of d salary,this statement is a "breach of contract" by GOWB.
2. Why "breach of contract"?

Salary money is committed from before (a contract) which cannot be reduced with time.

As money is a negotiable instrument, Govt actually commits commodities in lieu of that committed salary amount.

As inflation occurs, DA is remitted as the
3. inflation adjustment factor to let the employees buy the same amount of commodities with his salary even after price rise.

Thus DA is to preventing reduction of salary with time due to price rise.

Hence, non-remittance of #DearnessAllowance = reduction of committed salary/
4. remittance of incomplete salary by the Govt which is a "breach of contract".

A punishable criminal offence under Contract Act.

Govt is no one to decide whether to remit #DearnessAllowance or not irrespective of the "financial capacity of the State Government."
Why "breach of contract"?

Salary money is committed frm b4(a contract)which can't be reduced with time

Govt actually commits not money but commodities & pays a definite amount of money in lieu of that,money being a negotiable instrument

As inflation occurs,DA is remitted as d

#pinarayivijayan said he won't implement #CAA in #Kerala. Before him #MamataBanerjee said the same thing for #WestBengal. What these CMs are saying is not just rhetorical but meaningful. +
In all other cases of Citizenship by Registration and/or Naturalization, applicants have to liaise with MHA GOI via State DMs & the State Secretariat where it is possible for the State to sabotage & block applicants. +
CAA 2019 implementation must bypass the State Government offices. Else #WestBengal #Kerala such States would sabotage it. Rules need to be such that applicants don't at all need to go via State Secretariat. @AmitShahOffice +

A Thread on Income Tax and Middle Class

1. #UnionBudget2022 placed. Apart from several excellent proposals and measures suggested in order to achieve sustainable growth of National economy, government suggested no change in the existing income tax rates and exemptions. This is
2. exactly where d typical middle class, generally unaware of the intricate details of economics, remain interested. This is exactly the issue which concerns them the most and this is what they treat as yardstick to measure the extent of concern the government shows towards them.
3. Not unlike with any other previous governments of independent India,this time too they feel deprived. To understand the matter a little more precisely and to judge the extent of justification behind this feeling of the middle class, let us penetrate a little further.

IMHO different tax slabs required for salaried people & professionals. @nsitharaman

Professionals, entrepreneurs have ways to show expenditure while filing IT return. Earning 20 showing 6 is a go. Such scope absent for salaried people comprising 80% of IT payers.#UnionBudget2022
Most of these salaried IT payers are middle class people. #UnionBudget2022 should have brought tax relief to this segment.

GOI does not seem empathetic towards service holder middle class.
From today's perspective, service holders who earn 7 lacs or near r not middle class but upper stratum of the bottom 50%.

Those earning 7 - 30 lacs from SERVICE r middle class in true sense. This segment is being heavily taxed as they don't have scope to evade. #UnionBudget

1. Did @TheLancet turn into a political magazine?

The esteemed medical journal may please note that media like @AJEnglish, @nytimes r perhaps misleading them.

India has already vaccinated 9.8% of her population with at least 1 dose & has fully vaccinated
indianexpress.com/article/india/…
2. 2.5% people which is more than half the total population of UK.

Means India has fully vaccinated 3 Crores 41 lacs 27 thousand 375 people.

OTOH, UK has reportedly fully vaccinated 25.8% of her population which is only 1 Crore 72 lacs 14 thousand 436.

@TheLancet may first be
3. vigilant on UK's Vaccination performance especially because the population density of UK & India are comparable.

@TheLancet may please not forget 1 India > 20UKs combined.

Kindly don't be misled by aggressive political lobbying of media houses like @nytimes @AJEnglish etc.

1. অস্ত্রহীন প্রতিমা দুর্গাপ্রতিমা নয়।

গত বছর দুয়েক যাবৎ সাম্প্রদায়িক সম্প্রীতি রক্ষার স্বার্থে দেবী দুর্গার হাতে অস্ত্র না দেওয়ার নির্দেশ এসেছে পুজো কমিটিগুলির কাছে এবং শহরের বহু পুজো সে নির্দেশ মেনেও নিয়েছে। দেবী দুর্গা কিভাবে অস্ত্রহীন হবেন, সে প্রশ্ন তোলা হয় নি।
2. বাঙালীর শ্রেষ্ঠ উৎসব শারদীয়া দুর্গাপূজা রামচন্দ্রের অকালবোধনের অনুসরণে। রাবণের বিরুদ্ধে যুদ্ধযাত্রার পূর্বে যুদ্ধের দেবীর আরাধনা করেছিলেন মর্যাদা পুরুষোত্তম শ্রী রামচন্দ্র। বর প্রার্থনা করেছিলেন জয়লাভের জন্য। দেবী দুর্গার কাছে রক্ষিত ছিল রাবণের মৃত্যুবাণ। দেবী রাবণকে কথা
3. দিয়েছিলেন যে রাবণ নিজে না চাইলে সে মৃত্যুবাণ তিনি কাউকে দেবেন না। তাই বিজয়াকাঙ্খায় শ্রী রামচন্দ্র যখন দেবীপূজা করতে বসলেন, তখন রাবণকেই আহ্বান জানালেন সে পূজার পৌরোহিত্য করতে। পরম ব্রাহ্মণ রাবণ রাজী হলেন। প্রকৃত ব্রাহ্মণ পৌরোহিত্যের আহ্বান কদাচ অস্বীকার করতে পারে না। পুরোহিত
