Chronicile of a fight against an Ugly Oath

This  interesting episode in the previous page of contemporary American  political history is ,of course  narrated by this author in order to contrast it with such  a situation in India, a republic of sixty plus age, in which the mistake in the oath was of such a gravity that it  eliminated the concept of democracy and the very integrity of the nation In this case  even the issue was taken with the judiciary of the nation but up until now no step has been taken to uphold the honour of Indian Constitution in a comprehensive manner,  though  the oath was  made constitutionally correct after years of litigation in an Indian Court .In India, the heads of Government are bound by their oath to defend the Constitution ,the judicial authorities are bound by their oath to uphold the constitution and the laws enacted by the Legislature and all other authorities are bound by oath to keep faith and allegiance to the Constitution. It is also mandated in the Constitution that it is the duty of a citizen to safeguard the honour of the Constitution.  Thecomulative failure of these institutions  continues to deny the poor citizens the fruits of constitutional democracy contemplated by the founding fathers ofIndian Nation.

       During the days prior to and after the Independence of India/Pakistan, two divergent   opinions emerged in the turbulent political horizon of  that time.One was the cynical prediction of the future course of Indian/pakistani history,.This was artclated by Winston churchil,the nobel leaurate  in literature and the leader who led United Kingdom during the second world war when Mr Clement Atlee the then Prime Minister United Kingdom in june 1947, introduced the Indian independence Act in the British parliament

: "----------Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low caliber & men of straw.They will have sweet tongues & silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air & water... would be taxed in India."

       The other  was the famous’ tryst with destiny ‘ speech  made to the Indian Constituent AssemblyofIndia by the great patriot and the architect and first Prime Minister of Inda Sri .Jawaharlal Nehru,on the eve of India’s independence towards midnight on 14 August1947 which is considered the most condensed form of expression of unfailing optimism and hope of a freedom fighter with outstanding passion for emancipation.It begins thusly.

   "Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long supressed, finds utterance..............’ The story from kerala ,a state of Nehru’s India, is that the utterance of their leader’s became ‘without love’ while they assumed office as ministersBy taking an ugly oath they inhumanly  persecuted the who voted them to power".

  The post independent history of India/Pakistan  is the battle of the conflicting visions of the above two giant personalities of the past century.Eventhough in the  political scenorio of india the pessimistic vision of Churchill scores more points, the dilectical thinking of a man of reason will still hold the vision of Nehru because of the strong pull of the ancient civilisation of this part of the world. But the aberrations and failures are to be admitted and corrections  made in the onward march of human civilisation The  awesome ,incredulous and shocking narrative chronicled  below is for this lofty objective of victory  of human spirit over  dark forces

                                  After a thumping victory in the Assembly election of Kerala, Sri..A.K. Antony, the present Defence Minister of India, assumed office as Chief Minister takes a forged oath/ affirmation of office instead of the oath /affirmation as per the constitution 0f India. Other ministers of his Cabinet also take their oath/ affirmation of office to rule “all manner of people “without love” instead of “without favour”,as done by him decietfully. What terrified people more was that they also included  that this rule will be ”without fear”.In the pretext of financial crisis  in the white paper published he was determined to commit some black deeds by taking away the rights of all manner of people as promised in his vow at the time of assumption of office. In the euphoria of victory and ovation these ministers- designate failed to recount the patriotic pledge taken by them in ther school life, that they will love all the people- brothers and sisters-of India.Sri A.K. Antony the leader declares to publish a white paper on the financial position of the State.(This oath was tsumani-genic and within a couple days furious tsumani waves  of death and destruction were lashed the shores of  kerala and Tamlnadu)This declaration was a prelude to his rules ‘without love’. Sri A.K. Antony the leader declares to publish a white paper on the financial position of the State.(This oath was tsumani-genic and within a couple days furious tsumani waves  of death and destruction were lashed the shores of  kerala and Tamlnadu)This declaration was a prelude to his rules ‘without love’. The govt and opposition leaders relay  on the Economic Survey document published prior to the presentation of Budget before the state assembly.The provocation for the release of a seperate White paper on state finance was only to hoodwink the people voted him to power.

         The Govt in its Counter Affidavit claimed that the oath / affirmation of the ministers who assuming office was correct and that Indian Constitution commands the ministers to rule  people‘without love’ Moreover the words “without love” in oath was incorporated to have rhythm to the oath. The court tolerated the attempt made by chief minister Antony and his govt to decieve by making them believe that there is a constitutional embargo to the ministers of India to keep even a nano trace of love while dispensing their wierd justice.  This extra ordinary restraint shown by the judges of Kerala may perhaps be envied by the judges of banana republics.

World Fools’ Day Judgement
01 04 2004
In India  also nowadays the western practice of celebration of this day as fools’day of jokes,hoaks and pranks  has become popular among urban people because of their affinity to western practices. Matters related to foolery alone cannot be can be ignored by themfrom these practices . According to Joseph Boskin,a Professor of Hitory at Boton University’In away,it was a serious day(fools’day) .In those times fools were really wise men.It the role of jesters and fools to put things in perspective with humour.It is explained by him that the practice of celebration of fools’day began during the reign of Constantine when a group of jesters and fools told the Roman emperor
that they could do a better job of running the empire.With a sense of amusenment and hilarity, Constantine told Kugel ,a renowned jester to be an emperor for a day.The emperor of this day passed an edict calling for absurdty on that day, and the custom began an annual event. But this day witnessed an epoch making event in Indian Judicial history  as a Division bench of Kerala High Court courageously declared that it is not appropriate to rule the people “without love “ in Constitutional  democracy of India.Moreover,this Bench in its wisdom of this day passed strictures against the petitioner for failing to  make a prayer” to cancel all the orders issued by the cabinet” or for declaration that the cabinet  should not function as it has taken an incorrect oath while assuming office.” “The most incredulous and surprising  facet of this Judgement was the following: Contention regarding mistake  in the  Malayalam translation of oath administered to the Ministers was taken only to quashExtsP1 andP2.They were already withdrawn.Nothing survive further..Hence there is no ground to review the Judgementin the OP,The Review is dismissed.” The only thing true in the above observation of the Court is the sentence”Nothing survive further.”Because by the  state philosophy of”without love nothing including truth will survive. It will totally destroy everything as happened in Hiroshima.This Judgement destroyed Truth as up untill now after more than eight years after pronouncement of this
Fools’day Judgement, the Govt of Kerala has not withdrawn or cancelled these impugned orders .
This Original Petition was dealt by Court _One of the High Court of kerala headed by the Chief Justice as it was a high profile case related to the authority of a Govt in Indian republic headed by a cabinet taking an oath to rule people without love. But this case was transferred to another Bench.In this Court to ensure that  Justice was brutally travastised.
 At the time of hearing this author personally presented the case according to the argument note already submitted.It was vehemently prayed to implead the Secretary, Ministry of Law,Justice and company Affairs as the issue involved in this case was also the unity and integrity of Indian NationIt is a fact that Advocate Sathyakan, the Counsel for  Govt   had not  spelt any word during the hearing.He also had  not filed any affidavit  stating that the orders of the Govt
impugned in the petition, were withdrawn.as observed in the judgement.It is not known whether any informalcommunication was passed
to the judges by the then chief minister Sri AK Antony on this matter. It is a quirk of fate that Advocate Sathyakan was removed from his post for the faulty observation in the judgement.He,became a scapegoat in the altar of injustice

 

“I feel that the constitution is workable, it is flexible and it is strong enough to hold the country

together both in peacetime and in wartime. Indeed,

if I may say so, if things go wrong under the new Constitution, the reason will not be that we had a

bad Constitution. What we will have to say is that Man was vile.”

B.R.Ambedkar

The chief secretary of the state of kerala was petitioned to  direct the concerned to issue formal orders withdrawing  the orders against state govt employees in accordance with the submission of govt  according to the Fools'Day Iudgement.

22-06-2004
The most shocking and shameful manipulations and chicaneries committed by the then chief minister of kerala Sri A K Antony  was reported by an English Daily The Hindu, many days after  the pronouncement of judgement.But the core part of the the judgement passing strictures challenging the very foundation of the cabinet  led
by sri Antony on ugly oath ridiculing the concept of democracy was lost in the edition of this report.Nonetheless,this report was gratifying as other papers and also visual media had fully blacked out the outcome of this case having tremendous public importance.
 
28-06 2004
In the 8th session of the 11th Kerala Assembly   on this day the respondent ,the then Chief Minister A K Antony, in the above case with a pretence of innocence answered to a question of an MLA Smt P K Sreemathy that he had not submitted in the Court that the impugned orders were withdrawn,contrary to the fact expressed in the Judgement.
11-07-2004
The Chief Secretary of Kerala was again petitioned to honour the submission before the High Court  that the impugned orders will be withdrawn.This foolish man also has not taken any step to evict the ministers holding office without taking constitutional oath as clearly indicated in the Fools'day Judgement.
 

 17-07-2004 

  Despite the veiled but  scathing observation of the Court in theFools’day judgement ,bulldozing the legal sanctity of the continuation of the ministry led by Sri A K Antony has not relinquished his office.As the media had fully skirted this matter,the enlightened civil society also failed to react against this unruly behavior of this wily politician.Hence, this author on this day petitioned the President Sri Abdul Kalam to defend the constitutional democracy of India by extending the true spirit of it , also to the people of Kerala ,ending the discrimination for many decades treating people as slaves  denying the lofty values of Indian Constitution which was given to other though not in in full measure.The same petition was forwarded to the.President on 09-08-2008. On a subsequent date,as advised by a tamil friend,a copy of this petition was forwarded toSri T K Viwanathan,Secretary, Ministry of Law and justice,govt of India and this yielded relief to the enlightened citizens of kerala who are outraged and disaffected over the insult inflicted on Indian nation by the poweful and power hungry politicians of kerala.It is reliably learnt by this author that it was due to the patriotic interference of this honourable officer of Indian govt that the honour of Indian Constitution was retrieved. This veteran civil servant of Indian govt is now the Secretary General of the lower house of Indian Parliament-The Lokh Sabha.

29-08-2004

On advice of Sonia Gandhi,the AICC president, during this day of her visit to Kerala to attend  a ceremany at the world famous spiritual centre at Sivagiri,Varkala,dedicated to Sreenarayana Guru, Sri A K Antony,the usurper of office,  reluctantly relinquished office.The President of the oldest party in India did not apologised to the nation for allowing her party leader Sri Antony for committing the crime of treason by usurping political power in an extra constitutional means-rejecting constitutional oath  and adopting a forged one                           

             It  is condition for getting registration/ recognisation from election commission of India that the association or body approching the commission shall include in there memorandum or rules and regulations of the assosiation or body shall bear truth faith allegiance to the costitution of India as by law established, and to the principles of socialism, secularism, and democracy, and would uphold the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India.But the Election Commission of India bound by oath/affirmation to keep true faith and allegiance to the Constitution allowed the politicians who condemned the Constitution by its abandonment to hold elected Constitutional posts.

24-05-2015

 On this day Ms  jayalalitha was sworn in as the Chief Mionister of Tamil Nadu. in a spectacularr ceremony at the Madras University Auditorium Governor of Tamil nadu  Sri Rossaiah administeredthe oath of office as per the Constitution.

                                              The Hindu ,the national daily of India got disturbed as a shorter version of national anthem was played at the beginning of the swearing-in ceremony and it was sensationally reported in the front page of that paper on 25-05-2015.Nowadays this popular daily is very meticulously watching such issuesrelated to the nation .But this daily owned by Tamil intellectuals failed to report about thr forged oath taken by the politicians of kerala led by Sri AK Antony when they took an oath/Affirmation of office while assuming office as ministers of Keraln  on 21-05-2001 and a subsequent date. When this issue of forged oath of office was taken up by an organisation of Secreteriat employees led by this narrator it was not reported by this paper on the ground that this matter has been brought to the fore not by high profile intelectuals or legal luminiaries.>it is unfair to ignore the fact when this egregios constitutional violation was brought to the Hihg court of Kerala,this paper gave front page publicity to it. Again when the court declare the ugly oath of office sri Antony unconstitutional and aspersion on his authority to continue in office,this paper,the news was covered up to please sri Antony then unautorisedly occupying CM,s office.But Antony was compelled to demit office  on 29-08-2004 due to circumstances related to the Court verdict on April 2004.The occupancy of ari Antony in the Chair of CM of Kerala from 01-04-2004to 29-08-2004 was due to the massive cover up of thedetails of the court verdict bytbnhe media of Kerala .On 31-08-2004 Sri Oomen Chandy assumed the office of CM of Kerala taking the constitutional version of oath instea of the forged one adopted by Sri Antony.

     After the demission of office due to ugly/forged  oath  scam sri Antony was humiliated and leadind a secluded life for a few month..Extending sympathy to him a veteran news Correspondent Sri C Gouridasan nair in an interview presented him in Surya Channel in a positive manner to enhance his image tarnished then.In.the intreview he had not troubled  him asking the issue related to the forged oath which resulted in his demission of o office.Perhaps Sri Antony might have forgotten this service rendered by this poor jounalist who is always in the habit of helping bigwigs in trouble without getting any gratifications from them.
