The Confederation of NGOs of Rural India (CNRI), of which Mohan Dharia is chairman, has said in a note to the government that ‘the time has come for the political wing of society to state categorically and unambiguously that they are answerable to the people through Parliament and state legislatures.’ Else, the day may not be far when a ‘non-political oligarchy will come to assume dictatorship.’
Dharia is a well-known Pune-based social and environment activist of socialist pedigree with a life-long reputation for probity in public life. He has been Union minister and Planning Commission deputy chairman. Along with Chandra Shekhar (later Prime Minister), Dharia spearheaded the Young Turk movement from within the Congress when Indira Gandhi was Prime Minister.
In CNRI’s view, ‘certain sections of civil society are spreading a wrong message, (that) they are superior to the political wing of society.’

02)  Has he woken up in hid deep slumber, only now like the Communist Parties have done, a couple of Weeks ago?
