Budget 2022 daring or dull? Not bad for the rich, not good for the poor!

What does Budget 2022 want to say? explain in simple language

Immediately after the Budget 2022 speech, a meme was noticed - "Yeh scheme is not for you." It was said to the middle class that there is nothing for them in the budget. Then the question arises that what is in the budget for whom?

There are appreciators that despite elections in five states, populist budgets have not been presented. Financial discipline has been taken care of. Some people are appreciating this bravery of the government but there is something for so many people, otherwise it should be called a courageous budget or a sluggish budget?

Chief Economic Adviser Dr. V Anantha Nageswaran expects that by the financial year 26-27, our economy will be five trillion dollars. The PM is saying that this is a budget with a vision of hundred years. But in the words of Sahir - 'If this world (repeat-if) is found, what is it?' Corona has broken the back of even the small and medium businessmen of the unorganized sector, leave the poor, laborers. Relief is needed now, not after years.

Congratulations on 'seven and a half lakh crores', wish you something today

More than 35 percent increase in capital expenditure will put emphasis on infra, there will be employment, but when will it happen? Applause for increasing it from Rs 5.4 lakh crore in FY22 to Rs 7.5 lakh crore in FY23, but the problem is that the proposal has been presented today, tomorrow the construction will not start on the ground. It will take time The poor man needs relief now. Kovid, lockdown, ointment is needed on the wound of the prisoner now.

The child of that laborer needs a mobile phone today to continue his online studies. Need school fees today. He needs medical expenses today to fight Corona. Many policy makers sitting in Delhi have no idea that even if Omicron has 'Normal Flu', the cost of two to four hundred rupees is like climbing Everest for an unemployed worker.

Even MGNREGA money was reduced, which became a big support during the Kovid period. Of the government and also of the weak worker. There is an emphasis on internet connectivity but her child does not have a mobile to study, which is weak.

Where will the money come from to spend 7.5 lakh crore? Not one but many reports suggest that the rich are getting richer. Take a little from them and give something to the poor. If not for the poor, it would have been good for the safe. There is no need to borrow 15 lakh crores.

"Farmers cheated"

There was a promise to double the income of farmers by 2022 . Didn't even dare to mention it in the 2022 budget. Farmer leader Yogendra Yadav is saying that the government took revenge on the farmers. Rakesh Tikait maintained that the budget for wheat, paddy purchase has been reduced.

We talk about small farmers but for whom are drones flying? so much confusion? We have been hearing about food processing, storage capacity. The United Kisan Morcha has said that the intention of the government on MSP has become clear. Now we will move fast.

Can't choose one in self-reliance and self-defense

One thing happened that now 68% of the defense budget will be spent on purchases from the country itself. Good point but it may work in future. Still doubting the potential. To move the economy forward, security cannot be left behind. Pakistan bothers. China does not accept that. Opening the doors of defense research for private sector and startups is good. Just nothing new and far-fetched.

Health is no longer an issue of the economy – why not vision then?

The pandemic made us understand that people should get good medical facilities, it is necessary for the good health of the public as well as the economy. Otherwise there will be a lockdown. The workers will leave, the factory will be locked. There will be closure, there will be recession. It was expected that some vision on health would be seen in this budget. Nothing. Where is the hundred year plan? National health digital platform will be created. There was talk of Universal Health Card. what's new?

What will the villager of the digital health platform do, who does not get a doctor in the primary health centre? Don't get an ICU bed. Medicine is not available. Oxygen is not available.

Discipline or Laziness?

80 lakh houses, tap water, gas, toilets are all ongoing schemes. They have been praised. Again the same loan scheme for small businessmen which failed during the Corona period. Stock market experts are saying on the budget - this is a non-event for us.

Meaning it doesn't matter. Where the market will go tomorrow will depend not on today's budget but on cash flow from outside tomorrow, RBI's policy, global trends and state election results. The mood of some stocks has definitely improved due to increase in capital expenditure, but it is not sure that its effect will be there for a long time immediately. Did not do anything on Capital Gains Tax, did well.

The UP elections where the BJP is facing a challenge, that UP has also been turned away by paying some money on organic farming and Ken-Betwa project on the banks of the Ganges. The only question to the people who are praising fiscal prudence is that seeing the history of this party and the government, it does not seem that elections have suddenly become unnecessary for them.

If the party, which has accepted salvation only after winning the election, cannot take care of the elections in the budget, then it is necessary to ask whether it is discipline or laziness? Is it just a coincidence that this was Nirmala ji's shortest budget speech?

Yogendra Yadav on Budget 2022 - 'Government that lost due to farmers' movement took revenge'

Farmer leader Yogendra Yadav's reaction on Union Budget 2022 - "This time farmers have got silence"

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2022-23 on Tuesday, 1 February . This was the fourth time that Nirmala Sitharaman was presenting the budget in the Parliament, while it was the tenth budget presented by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government.

While on one hand the government is describing this budget as 'people friendly' and 'progressive', the opposition is also expressing its dissatisfaction. However, apart from the opposition, there is another section of farmer leaders who are calling the provision made for farmers in the budget insufficient.

Farmer leader and Swaraj India Chief Yogendra Yadav, while giving his reaction on the Budget 2022, said that the government, which was defeated by the farmers' movement, has taken revenge from the budget.

“The government, which was defeated by the farmers' movement, is stunned, so humiliated, so angry that it is now ready to take revenge on the farmers. In the first budget, farmers used to get at least beautiful dialogues, but this time neither money nor name announcements were received, nor did they get dialogues.

"The farmers have got silence this time"

Yogendra Yadav, Chief of Swaraj India, who has been criticizing the Modi government for the demand of farmers during the farmers' movement, says that the government has told the farmers through the budget that "go to hell".

“Farmers have got silence. The income of farmers was to be doubled by 2022, the Finance Minister has been playing the drum for 5 years. But this time when the income should have doubled, he is silent."

Yogendra Yadav further alleged that the government kept silent on topics like Agricultural Investment Fund, Kisan Samman Nidhi, Fasal Bima Yojana, MNREGA.

The locked mother of eight screamed: "This world doesn't want me anymore"

Yang Mouxia, a woman in rural Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, was found to have given birth to eight children, but she lost her mind and was chained in a broken house. This incident has been swiped on Chinese social media for days, and Chinese state media have rarely reported details of it except for official announcements. Netizens were reluctant to ask about the responsibilities of the government and society in the incident.

In a video widely circulated on Chinese social media, the filthy-looking woman squeezed out a few unclear sentences from her missing teeth. She seemed to be saying, "This world doesn't want me anymore. "Or "The world doesn't want me anymore. The reporter compared the woman in this video with the online video of Yang Mouxia published by the official media "Zhengguan Video", and it should be one person.

But the adults and children around her didn't seem to care about what she said, and they were still chatting to themselves, even laughing. The woman's own expression was also a little sullen, not sure if anyone heard this sentence when she said it.

"The world doesn't want me anymore"

It seems that the world really doesn't want her anymore. The outside world cannot even know her real name and age.

In a report by the Chinese state media CCTV news client, the joint investigation team of Fengxian County, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, where the woman is located, issued a notice on the incident, saying that her name was Yang Mouxia, and even this vague name was her current name. It was taken by her husband Dong Moumin. There is also no specific information on her age.

According to the official report, the woman who gave birth to eight children has mental retardation and schizophrenia, so her husband Dong Moumin kept her in chains all the year round; the investigation did not find any abduction of this woman. In 1998 In 2009, Dong Moumin's father took her in; Dong Moumin and Yang Mouxia had marriage registrations; in addition, Dong Moumin evaded family planning measures.

However, these few lines of text in the report could not dispel the doubts and anger of the outside world about what happened to Yang Mouxia.

In an anonymous interview with a reporter from this station, a gentleman in Jiangsu repeatedly asked several questions, "She said she has a mental illness, this is worth asking, how did the mental illness come from? This mental illness gave birth to eight children, how did you give birth? You How does the local government do family planning?"

Xiang Li, a human rights worker in California, first expressed her anger at the incident, "What she suffered was completely illegal imprisonment and countless rapes, with no human rights or freedom at all. This woman was deprived of it. It's clean, and it's become a mental illness, which is beyond what everyone can accept."

Xiang Li said frankly that due to China's control over the news media, the outside world cannot know more details of the incident from the media. She made the above judgment mainly based on the current news on social media.

The first concern of public opinion in this incident is the responsibility of the government. In addition to the family planning responsibility clearly pointed out in the official notification document, the focus of public opinion is also the government's responsibility for Yang Mouxia's current inhumane situation.

In 2017, Ma Panyan, the person involved in the child bride-in-law case in Wushan County, Chongqing, posted on Twitter after learning of the incident: "Someone asked why no one called the police about the mother of eight children in Xuzhou? Why didn't anyone care? I thought it was true. The local government doesn't know! After I was sold by my uncle and the villagers at the age of 12, I also experienced being locked in a house with iron chains. I will tell you my personal experience. It is not that no one called the police. The local government police station knew about it. Just don't care! I begged the government that way, did the police station control me? No!"

Xiang Li analyzed to this station in this way, "As a Chinese government that claims to be a responsible power, she should first provide necessary assistance to the bottom society, but these basic things are obviously not achieved. Look at this lady, Lian Yi No winter clothes, shivering and chained up in a shabby, shabby room."

At the same time, Xiangli also did not agree with the government's statement that Yang Xia was not abducted, "The government has failed to do its best to punish crimes, especially human trafficking; Acted as an umbrella for this kind of human trafficking. Instead, the government made up a story that they had a marriage license and were married normally.”

After Yang Mouxia's experience was uploaded and fermented on the Internet last weekend, the Propaganda Department of the Fengxian County Party Committee of Xuzhou City very quickly issued a statement on January 28, saying that in the preliminary investigation, there was no trafficking in this incident; Two days later, the Fengxian Joint Investigation Team issued an investigation notice late at night on January 30, confirming again that there was no trafficking.

But the outside world soon questioned why the investigation came to a conclusion so quickly? Is this conclusion reliable? In the video circulating on social media, Yang Mouxia once said, "Far, far, I won't let me go." This suggests that the outside world's speculation that Yang Mouxia was abducted and sold is not unreasonable.

Social responsibility

On the other hand, the social responsibility in the Yang Mouxia incident has also attracted people's attention. "It's been almost 25 years from 1998 to 2022, and no one has helped this lady, no one has reported the case or called the police. At least the people in this village have not done this for decades. This is also outrageous. , this is a kind of mediocre evil," Xiang Li said in this analysis.

The incident was exposed on the Internet. It was around the New Year of the Tiger, and Yang Mouxia's tragic experience may have stimulated people's expectations for family affection in the atmosphere of family reunion. The reaction to this incident on social media has been quite intense, and the discussion has been hot for several days.

However, the aforementioned unnamed gentleman in Jiangsu believes that the current relevant reactions on the Internet may not be able to promote social changes, "After (such incidents) occur, the Internet will be like a stone thrown into water, and there will be some waves, but immediately It disappeared, and there might be something happening down there right away, one after another. There are too many things like this, and it’s no surprise that they didn’t touch them, and the Chinese people are numb.”

He emphasized that the reason why the people are numb is that under the current system, the voice of the people is suppressed. Some people raise problems. The government does not solve the problem, but solves the problem.

Congressman Michael McCall: Permitting the Olympics is a stain on the Olympics

The Heritage Foundation hosted a symposium on January 31 entitled "Wrong Choice: China and the 2022 Winter Olympics."

The symposium was chaired by Ms. Catherine Cornell Gorka, Director, Department of Societies and Dialogues, Heritage Foundation, who gave an introductory speech on the current state of the Winter Olympics in China, where they monitored their behavior and health information when they arrived in China. He warned that they would be punished for speaking out and protesting, saying, "How come our young people have become so competitive? That's the decent thing to do, and it should end there. "

The talks began with a statement by Michael McCall, a Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives and a member of the State Council's House Foreign Affairs Committee, who said, "Today, the Chinese Communist Party poses the greatest geopolitical, economic, and military threat to the United States and its allies." . "The world must wake up from the Chinese Communist Party's horrific human rights abuses," he said. At the moment we are talking, more than a million people in Xinjiang are being held in unbearable conditions in the camps. They are facing forced brainwashing, forced infertility and even death. The International Olympic Committee's decision to allow the genocide is a stain on the Olympics. This tournament, which is being held in the shadows of the concentration camps, is a source of great concern to me. Praising the Chinese Communist Party and normalizing the genocide it perpetrates is absolutely unacceptable. "

During his speech, Mr. McCall stressed that American athletes participating in the Olympics should not become a propaganda tool for the Chinese Communist Party.

The symposium was attended by Boston Celtics NBA star Anas Canter Friedom (Freedom), Mr. Heritage Foundation senior and respected researcher Mr. Edward Lee, and Ms. Olivia Inus, the agency's Asia researcher.

Interviewer Catherine Cornell first asked Olivia Inus, "Why do you think our athletes are being forced to compete in today's situation?" He asked. Ms. Inus said the Olympics should be a great opportunity for the United States to condemn China, but missed the opportunity. "China is currently holding 1.8 million to 3 million Uighurs in concentration camps, and China is undermining democracy in Hong Kong, and the whole world is paying a heavy price for hiding the coronavirus," he said. "In spite of this, the Olympic Committee has given China the opportunity to host the most prestigious international tournament in China, which does not respect even the most basic rights."

In her remarks, Ms. Olivia noted that the Biden government did not consider it necessary to issue a diplomatic boycott of the Olympics, and that the Biden government had taken immediate action to put pressure on the Olympic Committee to work with its partner countries to postpone the Games and move them to another country. He had to issue a joint statement condemning the massacre. "So I think we missed the chance in this match."

Ms. Catherine then asked basketball star Anas Canter his views on the matter. Anas Kanter also said he did not consider the diplomatic boycott to be enough and that in fact athletes should not be sent to China. "Senator McCall called the race a bit earlier than the Genocide Olympics," he said. I call the medals in the race the 'Medals of Honor'. For athletes, winning a gold medal should not be a matter of morality, conscience, or values. "Of course, I think the head of the issue is the International Olympic Committee, which is cooperating with the Chinese Communist Party. Athletes must use their voice against them."

After Anas Kanter's remarks, Ms. Catherine asked him, "Are you talking very boldly, and do you regret the damage you have done?" In response, Anas Kanter said that in a situation where many athletes are reluctant to speak out against China for a variety of reasons, it has become an obligation and a responsibility to come forward, and although it has certain costs, it does not regret it.

This was followed by a speech by Mr. Edward Lee, a senior researcher at the Heritage Foundation. He praised China in general. "It simply came to our notice then.

In his remarks, he elaborated on the Chinese Communist Party's absolute sovereignty through its elements: The buildings, however, belong to the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese military, and the children of senior Chinese Communist officials. The country's economy is centrally controlled. There is no indication that the Chinese system is becoming more liberal with its economy, but rather that it is becoming increasingly dictatorial. Such a dictatorship must be overthrown by the international community. "

In his speech, Mr. Lee said that Americans have a very weak view of what a communist regime is and what a dictatorship is, and that is why they are trying to open a museum in Washington with the "Victims of Communism Memorial Fund" in Washington, D.C. Communist China is not one of the opponents and even enemies we know, but it is a regime that is constantly working for the purpose of becoming the most powerful power in the world. "His goal is not just to be a force in Southeast Asia, but to become a world power against the United States, and we must take action."

"Although this does not mean that we should bomb China, it is important to control China through economic measures and other measures," he said. He encouraged ordinary people as well to take part in solving this great task: "One of the things you and other people can do is keep up the pressure ... there are going to be some difficult decisions for government".

The moderator then asked Ms. Olivia Inus, an Asian researcher, "What can we do at this time, just days before the start of the Olympics?" Asked. In response, Ms. Olivia Inus said:

"As the Winter Olympics unfold, we must continue to report, report, and report on the Chinese government's human rights abuses, threats to national security, and economic violence." If you are a journalist, write about it and interview the camp witnesses and Uyghurs living in this United States. If you are an American or a web user, spread the word and spread the word online. If you are a company, especially one of the Olympic Games sponsors, please reconsider whether or not you are promoting the event. I think we, as ordinary Americans, have a choice. We have the opportunity not to watch the Olympics and thereby prevent the Chinese Communist Party from benefiting from advertising. In short, no one should be aware that the Chinese government is still aware of the ongoing and ongoing genocide against the Uyghurs, and no one should say that I did not know about it. "

Mr Edwards added that the United States should boycott the Olympic Games. "Given the importance of the economy for China, it is very important to have economic consequences to deal with the Chinese government, as well as support Taiwan, restrict China's access to international organizations such as the World Trade Organization and the World Health Organization," he said. "We must not stop interpreting and emphasizing the Communist Chinese government as a genocidal state," he said.

At the end of the interview, Ms. Catherine, the moderator, asked how the situation in the Uyghurs was now suffering so much and what could be done for the Uyghurs. "What is needed for Uyghurs now is for Americans to be courageous," Ms. Olivia Inus said. Americans, American companies should stand up for the Uyghurs. This is not the time to be silent. Every Chinese official, every agency involved in this oppression should be punished and all necessary measures should be taken immediately. "The Biden government must immediately grant refugee status to those fleeing persecution."
