The Government has established Committee of Secretaries to take the final view on implementation of the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission. Like the members of the Commission, the Secretaries will be beneficiaries of the decisions taken by them. They are an “interested party” and not in a position to take a dispassionate View. The Government must, therefore, immediately appoint a number of independent persons to this Committee.
It is estimated that an additional burden of more than Rupees one lakh crores will be imposed on the Central Government.
A friend of mine from Kolkata said the next war will not be with Pakistan or with the Maoists. The next war will take place between the common man and the Government Servants.
