Letter

Postpone Finalisation of HDMP & NDMH

CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury has addressed a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi today requesting that the central government postpone the finalisation of both the HDMP and the NDMH before parliament concludes its consideration on the PDP Bill. This is light of the government seeking comments on the Health Data Management Policy by September 3, 2020

The full text of the letter is being released herewith.

No to Ordinances

As for the Bills which are designed to combat corruption, after doing nothing for five years, the Government is now seeking the ordinance route. Moreover, the government could have easily extended the session of parliament by a few days to get them discussed and adopted.

Sitaram to Minister

Any document developed for administrative personnel of the government must show how the values in the Indian Constitution must reflect in its practice and to strengthen a secular democratic Republic. Not only does the above volume not fulfill this purpose, it actually harks back to medieval values that have little to do with modern administrative values and could even be harmful to it.
