The Hon’ble Chief Minister, Orissa,
Bhubaneswar.

Sub: Orissa Official Language Act violated through Amendment, 2018 : Request for re-amendment to do away with the defects and for action against the Officer(s) responsible for rendering even the Hon’ble Chief Minister inconsequential

Ref: Cabinet Resolution Dated 14.3.2018 read with the CMO letter No. 773/CM dt.19.5.2017 and Resolution No.18715/G.A. dt.31.7.2015

Hon’ble Sir,
With a heavy heart, I am writing you to say that, your noble intention to remove all defects from the Orissa Official Language Act, 1954 in order to make it flawlessly functional has been derailed by mischievous brains in bureaucracy and resultantly, its amendment passed by the Assembly and assented to by the Governor, has become a more notorious instrument to destroy the original purpose of the Act , while rendering you absolutely inconsequential in the matter of the Resolution of the Cabinet you had presided over on March 14, 2018.

In looking back to the chain of events, I may state that, against the backdrop of ‘Fast oto Death’ by famous language activist Gajanan Mishra in July 2015, the new phase of official action on working of the Official Language Act commenced with creation of a Ministerial Committee by you under the Resolution referred to above, to find out how the Act could be implemented.

You were kind enough to nominate me as a member to the said Committee and in that capacity, I had conducted a deep research into why the Act, being de jure in force since 1954, was de facto defunct and found out the following defects:
1. The Government was not empowered in the Act to frame Rules to implement the Act; and
2. (2) There was no provision of punishment against contravention of the Act.

Accordingly, I had given my advice on 3.9.2015 with draft outlines of two legislations – one, for empowering the Government to frame the Rules and the other, for provision of punishment against nonuse of Oriya as official language.

For the first time the Government could know the above two inherent defects in the Act from my communication and you were kind enough to inform the Assembly on 14.12.2015 that necessary amendment of the Act was on the anvil.

From the notes in the concerned file it transpires that, the then officer-in-charge of the aforesaid Ministerial Committee Sri G.V.V.Sharma had objected to the proposal for punishment and the file was then thus strangulated that the Committee went into oblivion.

There was no other way for us than starting a movement in the name of Bhasha Andolan and commencing a campaign known as Black-Flag-Campaign for propounding the cause.

After 39 days of this campaign, on 21.5.2016, you were kind enough to get apprised of the serious situation and appreciating the extraordinary urgency the campaign had generated for official action, you promulgated an Ordinance of Amendment to the Act that implemented my advice and empowered the Government to frame Rules to drive the Act ahead. We had postponed the Black-Flag-Campaign till August 15th, 2016, as, to our comprehension, which official indication to the Press had generated, all obstacles to implementation of the Act were to have been removed by then.

Bureaucracy foiled your noble attempt by producing a stillborn set of Rules that was so ineffectual and illcocieved that, even the Government did not prefer to apprise the Assembly of it, when the Ordinance was laid as a Bill.

As our Black Flag Campaign continued, you were kind enough to discuss the matter with us vide communication dated 19.5.2017 under reference. We appraised you of the lacunae in the Law and gave you a fresh memorandum detailing why and how the amendment, 2016 should be further amended. A draft of the proposed amendment was submitted to you on that occasion.

After lapse of a period of six months, you held a Cabinet meeting at Puri on 26.12.2017 that almost agreed with our demand and decided to provide for suitable punishment to whosoever employee and Department fail to impart service in Oriya Language. We objected to that in view of the fact that, (1) there was an attempt to reduce the scope of the Act by shrewd coinage of words like “extensive use”, (2) Departments being run with people’s money, the contemplated punishment to ‘Department’ would lead to punishing the people for offences of the employees. And, the Black-Flag Campaign continued.

The State Cabinet met again under your Presidentship on 14.3.2018. It superseded the defective Resolution dated 26.12.2017 on the Act and almost entirely agreeing to our demand, it made it clear that for nonworking in Oriya, only the erring employee and official will be punished, not the Department. In complete acceptance of our argument it resolved, “as there is no provision for imposing penalty against the Officers and employees who are violating the provisions of the notifications under the Act, Government have decided to bring the amendment immediately providing penalties for such erring Officers and employees…so that they will implement the provisions of the notification in its letter and spirit” (Para 2 and 3 of the Press Note of the GA & PG Department, dated 14.3.2018).

But, Sir, your above noble decision has been rendered inconsequential in the amendment drafted by bureaucracy and adopted by the Assembly, as detailed below:

Firstly, the Statement of Object and Reasons of the Amendment do not carry the Reasons spelt out in the above quoted resolution of the Cabinet meeting presided over by you on 14.3.2018. It is based on the superseded resolution of 26.12.2017, completely suppressing the resolution dated 14.3.2018.

Secondly, while illegally using the superseded resolution dated 26. 12. 2017, the officer concerned has also tampered with the said resolution. When, even that Resolution had laid down that for nonuse of Oriya the Department AND the employees will be suitably punished, the amendment, claiming to have been based on that resolution provides for punishment to employees OR Department, which is blatantly unauthorised and illegal.

Thirdly, the scope of the Act originally covering the whole of Orissa and all and every Office in the State of Orissa, the amendment has reduced this scope to “extensive use of Oriya Language”, which clearly means that the Act will not be used in whole of Orissa and in all and every office in the State. No amendment can kill the basic purpose of the Act.

Thus Sir, your intention to amend the Act to make it flawless for implementation of the Act “in its letter and spirit” has been brutally done away with by the mandarins while drafting the amendment.

These gross mistakes were overlooked by the Minister Mr. Arukh who moved the Bill in your absence and who just read out the reply to the debate as obviously prepared by the scheming mandarin that had drafted the amendment with a deliberate design against the people of Orissa.

On behalf of Bhasha Andolan, which has been spearheading the movement for inviolable implementation of the Act, I had brought these defects to the notice of the Governor with a request for returning the Bill for reconsideration of the Assembly to make the Law flawless. But, the anti-Oriya mentality of the bureaucracy is such that, the said memorandum was not put up properly before the Governor.

With these words, Sir, I request you on behalf of Bhasha Andolan and the people of Orissa, to please review the entire matter and take suitable and exemplary action against the Secretary concerned, who has rendered the Chief Minister of the State absolutely inconsequential in matter of amendment of the Act as per Resolution of the Cabinet on 14.3.2018;

And, to please ensure that the Amendment, 2018 is put afresh before the Assembly in its coming session for amendment thereon or for fresh amendment of the Act to do away with the defects enumerated and detailed supra.

With this hope and deep regards,
Yours,

Subhas Chandra Pattanayak,
Chairman,
Bhasha Andolan, Orissa.

(12) Cabinet Resolution dt 14.3.2018 in its 52nd meeting finally formulating the amendment to Odisha Official Language Act;
(13) Odisha Official Language (Amendment) Bill, as passed by the Assembly on 2.5.2018

Sir,
The Odisha Official Language Act was made and promulgated in 1954. With “at once” effect, it made Oriya the only Language for all and any official purpose in Orissa. The State of Orissa – the first linguistic State of India – was created for this single purpose.
But it was made with two congenital defects:
1. Absence of punishment against its contravention; and
2. Absence of power for the State to frame Rules for its implementation.
When a member in the Ministerial Committee created on an Official Resolution on “implementation of the Odisha Official Language Act,1954”, Subhas Chandra Pattanayak had examined in-depth the reasons of its non-implementation and located the above two defects. He had submitted on 3.9.2015 a draft for amendment of the Act to remove these two defects and also a set of draft Rules to drive the Act ahead. On 07.03.2016 Sri Pattanayak wrote to Principal Secretary, Law, being informed that he was vetting his draft, to also repeal the Sec.3-A of the Acted inserted thereinto through an amendment in 1963.
As nothing tangible occurred, Bhasha Andolan, Odisha, in espousing the said proposal, commenced its ‘Black Flag Campaign’ on 13.04/2016 under the impact of which, specifically as repealing the 1963 amendment masterminded by Late Biju Patnaik was best to be avoided by his son, the incumbent CM, the State Government amended the Act on 21.5. 2016 by way of an Ordinance in partial acceptance of the above proposal, which equipped the Government with the power to frame the Rules. The other proposal for punishment to contraveners of the Act was not heeded to. The most peaceful and popular Black Flag Campaign, after entering into the third year, has made the Government amend the Act that provides for punishment.
It is the most noteworthy victory of a movement in Orissa. Yet, we oppose the Bill that is worded as follows:

“4A. The State Government may prescribe suitable measures in the rules to award incentives to officials or departments for extensive use of the official language and also to punish the erring officials or departments.”

We oppose it on the following grounds:
1. The words “extensive use” does not mean “Total use” for which the State was created and also gives adequate scope for the contraveners to escape punishment by invoking the free zone the word “extensive” automatically generates;
2. The words “use of the Official Language” gives scope for nonuse of Odia Language, as Odia is not the only official language. The Orissa Official Language (Amendment) Act, 1963 has promulgated English as official language in context of Orisha Legislative Assembly. As the same has not yet been repealed, the wording in this Amendment Bill needs be “use of Odia as Official language” instead of “use of Official Language”. Unless it is done, and the Sec. 3-A of the Act inserted through Amendment Act, 1963 is repealed, the present amendment is self-defeating, which the Assembly has failed to appreciate and work upon;
3. The words “to punish the erring officials or departments” make farce of this amendment. If Departments are punished for offences of Officials, it would be punishing the people, as the departments run entirely with the money the people pay.
Over and above this, the “Statement of Objects and Reasons” that forms the base of this Bill is generated evidently by blatant misuse of power by the Chief Minister, who is the Member-in-Charge of this Bill.
Your Excellency may please call for records of the 52nd meeting of the Cabinet held on 14.3.2018. It had noted in its Resolution, vide Press Note released on the same day, that the Bill must carry the provision “for imposing penalty against the Officers and employees who are violating the provisions of the notifications under the Act.” Instead of acting on this resolution which had stipulated on punishing the erring employees and Officials only, the Bill has been made to stand wrongfully on Cabinet resolution dated 26.12.2017 which was de facto superseded by the 14.3.2018 Cabinet for the wrong it was pregnant with; because that 51st meeting of the Cabinet had wrongfully resolved to punish erring officials and departments. That wrong proposal has been wrongfully used in the Statement of Objects and Reasons of this Bill by making the same further lacerated by replacing the word “and” in the said resolution with “/ “ in the wrongfully quoted resolution in the Statement and by the word “ or ” in the body of the draft.
Your Excellency shall have to look into this particular matter and decide if the Chief Minister has any rightful jurisdiction to bury the Cabinet Resolution dated 14.3.2018 under a carpet of conspiracy against the people of Orissa and make a law on the basis of a superseded resolution of the cabinet dated 26.12.2017 by tampering the same to punish the people of Orissa for the offenses the employees would be perpetrating.
Pending such inquiry, on behalf of Bhasa Andolan, Orissa, we pray your Excellency to please return the Bill sans you assent asking the Government to come out with a Statement of Objects and Reasons formulated and noted by the latest Cabinet dated 14.3.2018 in the matter and to word the section under question, i.e.Section 4A to remove the defects enumerated above.
