RE: UK Spending Round - Rescue to Recovery - An Impeccable Analysis

Suggestion:
Good Morning Mr. Chancellor. Let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to.

Mr. Chancellor, I see UK economic outlook improve gradually during the second half of 2013. Britain spending cuts face severe in 60 years. UK fiscal consolidation cannot accomplish through spending cuts alone. Education will suffer an 8.4% cut. Education cuts will make UK less competitive because our children won’t be able to compete in the world and neither will our nation. However, school spending is safe guarded. Your government allocate total £50 billion investment for infrastructure. In my opinion, your government had done too little so far for infrastructure. Lowering infrastructure spending undermines the sector’s ability to stimulate growth or job creation. Moreover, it is not all good news for the infrastructure because departmental cuts like road maintenance likely to suffer.      

Mr. Chancellor, your government has announced no increase in capital spending up to 2017-18. This will undermine the public sector investment and the share of national income broadly over the next four years. Your government 8% cut in the foreign office budget, culture, media and sport faces 7% cut all welcome. Your government announced 1% rise on public sector wage bill. I identified spending for the public sector wage bill for UK has increased faster than GDP and it contributes to the problem of government deficits.

Mr. Chancellor, minimum wage bill is best for economy because wage policy is accountable for current account imbalances in UK and allows wage bill really accountable for the huge national debts. Moreover, wage increases have undermined the competitiveness of UK. Your spending cuts alone cannot accomplish UK fiscal consolidation. Some years it can be expansionary, some years it can be contractionary. So we have no reason to prefer just spending cut. In my opinion, UK need for structural economic reforms in raising growth potential and fiscal consolidation. The budgetary implications of major structural reforms are to be taken account for UK fiscal consolidation. So we need a credible framework for sound fiscal policies which could favour both structural reforms and fiscal consolidation.        

Mr. Chancellor, I am confident that UK spending cuts have positive impact on net revenues and would have significant benefits for UK economy.       

Sincere Regards,

Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

To put things into perspective, Nagorno-Karabakh is not an independent entity but an occupied territory of the Azerbaijan Republic and is recognised by the international community and the UN. The fact that the Armenian Prime Minister's son is doing his military service in the Armenian army located in Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh and started an undeclared war against Azerbaijan, occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and 7 adjacent regions of Azerbaijan, and massacred and forcefully deported Azerbaijani aborigines was the main reason for the lack of peace in the region. The laws of armed conflict failed to protect the Nagorno-Karabakh civilian population, individual civilians, and civilian property. The laws of armed conflict failed to discriminate between those taking parts in the fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh. The laws of armed conflict failed to protect the environment as war causes severe or long term damage to the environment. The fact here is that there is a number of international doc...

  To:     The Right Honourable Russian President Hon. Vladimir Putin From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: January 9, 2021 RE:     Thank you note to Russian President Hon. Vladimir Putin for Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia peace treaty. l Suggestions: Hon. President, I wrote to you in the month of October 26, 2020 for your government to stop selling arms to Armenia and Turkish President to stop selling arms to Azerbaijan. But you signed peace deal between Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia is a real diplomatic victory for you and your government. You want to have good relationships with both ex-Soviet Republics (Armenia and Azerbaijan). Now Armenia is close to Russia more than ever and Azerbaijan is close cooperation with Russia as Russia has military presence in Azerbaijan for the first time in 30 years. You did a great job President as you know the value of peaceful conflict resolution. This would allow you to play the role of peacemaker....

ISRAEL-IRAN-SYRIA CONFLICTS

To: The Right Honourable Israel Prime Minister Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: May 09, 2018 RE: Israel – Iran – Syria Conflicts Suggestion The Honourable Prime Minister Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, I am writing this letter to you on Israel air strike in Syria yesterday. You are trying to do everything possible to stop Iranian bases in Syria. Do you believe that Iran is building permanent bases inside Syria or close to Israel? How much land has Iran captured or taken from Syria? My answer is none. But you are openly threatened Iran.   Let me put it very clearly to you, there are no winners with war but losers are there. I agreed that you have strongest military force on earth. You could easily arrange a favourable peace treaty with Syria and Iran but you don’t want to negotiate with the Syria and Iran. Israel could not exist as a permanent aggressor without US. It is my humble request you to negotiate peace treaty with Syria and Ir...
