You said it - We read it

 Day 2 into our launch and we are thrilled that the comments and feedback across our various platforms have not slowed down in the slightest.  Thank you. It goes without saying that we value your opinions. And in that spirit, here is a compilation of some tweets and comments that really caught our eye today. via @firstpostin: @2sivashankar1: @firstpostin Good speech but we want same effort from you mr.swamy to get final justice in 2g case! @warunsl @firstpostin Why does the tweet button on your articles add the suffix “via @addthis” instead of “via @firstpostin” ? On articles: Sriharish Padmanabhan everyone blames the politician. but who is gonna muster courage to blame the bureaucrats ? do we really think they don’t have a say in the way this country is run? they are the real silent assassins of not just India, but of daily Indians that struggle to put a meal to their mouth!and what do we do? we go after politicians as they are the equivalent of celebrities in this landscape. The bureaucrats are the real culprits and we need to scrap this stupid UPSC system to get rid of these people.’ Posted on Will 2G juggernaut roll over an Ambani, Tata or Ruia? Vijay Sharma I am a great admirer of the Tatas honesty and integrity. But if Ratan Tata is found guilty, put him in jail too. Posted on Will 2G juggernaut roll over an Ambani, Tata or Ruia? Satija Hansraj what a great man he is? we are living in a country of corrupts. The men like mr Bhushan,Parshant are like a LIGHT HOUSE for the common people or law binding peple and for the corrupts he is DABANG and He should be. Posted on 2G’s Dabangg man- Prashant Bhushan Akshay You are right. The Panda was also right. Then what is wrong? The era of internet, in which we are living, is the root (thank god, panda eats only shoots) cause. Everybody, is in such a hurry to answer so many mails, blog, SMSes, speak on their cellphones (landlines are reduced to intercoms) and also do their work efficiently (hopefully) that grammar is the last thing on their mind. Even the words are getting compressed. The teens nowadays use such abbreviations for their messages that even the CIA, Mossad and Raw (forget ISI – I Sleep Intelligently) would find it tough to decipher it. In the coming years the punctuations, commas, etc all will be extinct, just like the poor Panda. Please forgive any grammatical mistakes in my reply as i am a netizen and have to rush to reply to another article. :) Cheers Posted on Why we need pandas in advertising sab_politcs_hai it seems at last the news websites giving an indepth and true ( not half true) analysis on 2g scam , without the fear of losing any revenue which could have come to them if they keep mum on big bosses like ambani, tata and other riches, in the form of advertisements. i appreciate firstpost for its non biased report. the law should be same for all. . .in india a pickpocketer is shown holding slate in his hand in the media very next day he caught. .but it is altogether a different treat for those who loots thousands of crores and seen on forbes millionaire list ….what a pity??? supreme court of india is taking all the measures to get all 2G culprits behind bars…i will be happiest to see all these corrupt big bosses behind bars… Posted on Will 2G juggernaut roll over an Ambani, Tata or Ruia? Kumaraprasad K The 20/20 version is heavily loaded in favor of the batsman.With heavy bat ,reverse sweep and all such odd shots played more frequently than regular cricket shots the bowlers need to look for something different. Now to help the bowlers introduce LBW for balls hitting stumps even when pitched out side the leg stump. Restrict the batsman’s’ tenure to 4 overs however good he may be (we do it for the bowlers) or Allow one bowler to bowl 8 overs. This may give the bowling team some relief. Posted on In search of variation, bowlers take drastic action Akshay The MF CEOs should be confident about their funds performance and can charge entry loads. But, in return there should be a contingency fund formed, where if the fund fails to trade above par and if the investor wants to exit after the lock-in period or as per the fund rules, his full capital should be paid back and the MF should take the hit. And if it is profitable a ratio can be worked out, which the MF will take from the spoils (something similar to PMS). This will make the fund managers more liable and keep them on their toes and lessen scams. And, will also increase the participation of masses from across the country as the risk of losing their capital will be eradicated. Just a thought….maybe right/maybe wrong…is Sebi listening??? Posted on Why caveat emptor will not work in MF industry Sea Wolf Maybe you don’t necessarily have to punish all the powers-that-be. One or two high profile convictions should be enough to send the message across. Or better still, one each from the political and the corporate space. Hard to say if even that will act as a deterrent in future. But the harsh rulings will make two things clear. One: Nobody is above the law(never mind if a few heavyweights get off lightly) and Two: The risk reward ratio is no longer as attractive as it used to be. Posted on Will 2G juggernaut roll over an Ambani, Tata or Ruia? Prakashchsahu I respects the judgment of High court and now supreme court of India. My opinion is why we fight for temple why not fight for corruption , illeterchur, poverty such a huge problems in India. All are well know that India has developed country “Rich India But poor Indians” because Some state of India has much poor then African poor country. Then were we are don’t fight for Mandir or Masjid, we will fight for Corruption person in Govt. Posted on It’s back to square one, as SC stays Ayodhya verdict Pippinder Lets face it, the 2G scam and the CWG scam are seeing heads roll largely because of judicial and media activism. While we seem to have reached a tipping point as far as corruption is concerned, what is in the spotlight is more because there have been a few who have blown the whistle and thereafter the courts and the media took over. If we are serious about stemming the rot, then as a nation we need to re-look at our system of democracy itself, and bring in some new thinking which could include - At the Political level. - Ensuring that no one can stand for the Lok Sabha without first having been an MLA. - During the stint in parliament an MP would have to have a minimum 75% attendance on sessions and if he failed if a year, would be pulled out (if we have it for ourselves at school, college or workplace why not for our Politicians). - The system of MPs being given funds for their constituencies would stop. As an MP you work for the greater good of your state and nation, managing your home turf is an MLAs job. At the IAS and allied services level - Fixed tenures of 3 years at a post. no transfer whatsoever unless they are moving on for promotion or caught in a criminal case. - Allow for parallel induction from civvy street at the Dy Secretary / Jt Secretary levels. You may find a lot of accomplished people who have already self actualised actually coming in and making a big difference to the administration. At the IPS and Para military force level - Bring in the Model Policy of police Reforms and give states 18 months to implement or cut off access to the state for Central Services on deputation. - Allow for mid career intake from civil street from professionals keen to add on to the services. And finally designate some ministries where there is high need for specialised officers to develop a 5 year contract talent pool, who would work on retainers cum performance bonuses. I am certain then scams like CWG or 2G would be a thing of the past. Posted on There’s no doubt Anil Ambani made a deal with Raja
