What a good news ! President Pranab Mukherjee on 5th of July signed the ordinance on Food Security to give
two-third population the right to get 5 kgs of food grains every month
at highly subsidized rates of Rs 1-3 per kg.
On first look it seems it is a good step taken by government in the interest of the people but such a rush in passing this bill forces us to doubt on their intentions.
How can we allow Article 123 to be misused by the sitting political parties in government for their pre-election propaganda for political purposes?
A lawyer has filed a PIL against this FSB I am sure Honorable Supreme Court will do justice to it.

It is well known that million of tons of food grains are rotting in open as the country
lacks storage facility. Food grains are rotting in FCI godowns and on the other hand people are dying because of hunger. Due to this Supreme Court had intervened and ordered center to release food grain three years back and repeated harsh words again ! Instead of complying with the Supreme Court direction to release food
grain for the protection of life of citizens of India, UPA-2 has released a food bill via ordinance route for securing
political mileage for their election mandate.
According to the Article 123 of the Constitution that deals with the power of the
President to adjudge ordinances during the recess of Parliament has
been misused as there was no "emergency" situation.So this ordnance should be QUASHED as there was no emergency
circumstances exist to issue impugn ordinance hence it does not comply
with the terms of Art. 123. Therefore, the impugned notification is
unconstitutional and is liable to be declared unconstitutional and
void.
How can we allow Article 123 to be misused by the sitting political parties in government for their pre-election propaganda for political purposes?
Needless to say it must be quashed and the food grains should be released immediately. We dont need any BILL to comply with Supreme Court order. UPA is trying to to crouch its incompetence under the FSB cloak. An open attempt to take credit of something that they never intended to do but they are doing because of Supreme Court pressure. I no where see Bharat Nirman all I can see is Propaganda Nirman by Congress and its allies.
A lawyer has filed a PIL against this FSB I am sure Honorable Supreme Court will do justice to it.
