Government & Supreme Court of India

Democracy has four pillars –

• Judiciary
• Legislature
• Executive
• Press

     but from past few years Indian Democracy’s two pillars are working not with its full strength and liabilities hence from time to time keep on getting alert from other pillars but sometime they take it as embarrassment and rebut back. Government of India procure food grains from market but due to lack of efficient storing facilities at warehouses’ the news keep on coming of rot of precious food items in multi metric thousand tons every years courtesy Right to information (RTI) act, horrifying side of this tragic story is that in the country people are dying due to hunger in some parts of country and rot food items are such in quantity that it can feed millions of people two times throughout year, but government instead of taking care of there citizen and distributing food items at discount or free among poor section of society, let procure food grain (wheat, rice) rot in the godown which resultant not suitable for any lives to consume. It is really shame for country like India despite having buffer stock of food items let its citizen die because of hunger, so intellectual or patriotic or vigilant take the help of law to flog on to sleeping, negligent governing bodies. Announcing its verdict on to the petition Supreme Court of India order Central government that single piece of grain in the country should not be rotten in the warehouses’ of government and if they have lack of facilities then it should be distributed among poor people for free. Union Minister of Food and Agriculture Mr. Sharad Pawar after verdict came from Supreme Court of India release press statement that Apex court only pass on suggestion not order to pass on wheat among poor people. Very next day reacting on to the statement Supreme Court of India lashes on to Food and Agriculture minister and said it has not request or suggest to Government of India but pass on directive to distribute food among poor section of society in place of rotting in the warehouses’.
      After next day Government of India held meeting of Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) to take decision on to the order of Supreme Court of India of distributing wheatamong poor people. Later on after meeting was over a press release issue by government that it will distribute 25 lakh metric tons of wheat     among poor people not free but at lesser price, but Prime Minster of India Doctor Manmohan Singh said that judiciary should avoid to interfere in the government domain and we can’t distribute free grain to countrymen.
      People of this country are surprise on to the statement of Prime Minister of India, because he is considered one of the most sensitive, intelligent, honest and sincere leader country has right now, and if Supreme Court of India order the government considering the failure of it on to the wastage of food grain, then government should take it alert and advise to it instead considering it as harsh, more over orders had not come if government would have taken proper care of its precious assets.
