Sack Pawar for dishonoring Apex Court order.

It is time to sack India’s Food and Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar from his office for the scant regard shown by him towards Apex court order asking government to distribute food grain free of cost to the poorest. The Supreme Court has asked the Centre to distribute food grain free not to all people but to the poorest instead of allowing it to rot due to lack of storage facility. It cannot be ruled that there is rampant corruption in Public Distribution System (PDS) besides rotting of food grain in FCI godowns. Antodaya Anna Yojna, though aimed at BPL people, its purpose is not yet met.

If Pawar’s department is not able to implement SC order he along Minister of State K V Thomas should step-down from their posts and hand over charge to efficient leaders to implement the court order.
