Dear Mr Sarbajit,

You know very well that all Intelligence officers are men (and women) of few words....
Since Mr Rajiv Mathur was also one....he continues to believe in few words and hence no reasoning.

Respected Sir

Kindly inquire into and take the necessary action u/s 12 of RTI Act,
or otherwise, on my public grievance as is stated below. I would
appreciate an acknowledgment, within 5 days, of the receipt of my
grievance along with the tentative time frame to resolve it, as is
mandated by the DARPG/GoI scheme of public grievance redressal which I
am additionally applying under.

1) That Shri Rajiv Mathur in decision d/d 3.5.2012 uploaded at URL
http://www.rti.india.gov.in/cic_decisions/CIC_DS_A_2011_001055_M_81995.pdf
has failed to pass a reasoned order on the facts placed before him and
which were to be adjudicated upon by him.

2) It appears herefrom that Shri Mathur may not be fully cognizant  of
the provisions of the RTI Act which were to be invoked and has instead
proceeded to base his decision using a "seat of the pants" approach
and thereby transgressing well beyond the powers and duties of the
Commission as specified in the RTI Act.

Accordingly, I have reason to suspect that corruption is involved,
which requires inquiry. Alternatively, it may simply be a case of
ignorance which can be easily corrected by proper training to bring
his decision on par with those issued by,  say,  yourself.

Hence this grievance petition to protect the reputation and esteem of
the Hon'ble Commission and to safeguard the interest of the public at
large which includes myself as an RTI user...

yours sincerely

Mr Sarbajit,

Under which clause of the RTI Act does the IC have the power to remand back to the FAA, even after the FAA has passed an order ?

She is just delegating her powers (read "passing the buck") - which is in direct contravention of the Delhi HC order in your own case (DDA matter). 

Instead of complimenting her, you should be filing a contempt of court petition.

RTI query reveals Meira Kumar has been on 30 foreign trips
Mayank Aggarwal NEW DELHI

It would be an understatement to say that our Lok Sabha speaker is well travelled. In the 33 months since Congress leader Meira Kumar has assumed the speaker's post, she has gone on at least 30 "official" foreign trips, travelling from New York to Japan. The amount of expenditure incurred stands at Rs 2 crore at least.
An RTI application filed by DNA has revealed that between June 2009 and February 2012, Kumar travelled extensively to all corners of the world such as Mexico and Austria. She also visited Switzerland on several occasions. Though the cost of her 30 trips does not seem startling, it would only be prudent to remember that it is often the host country that foots the bill for a majority of the arrangements made. The costliest trip that the daughter of late freedom fighter Babu Jagjivan Ram made was to Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay, a trip that together cost over Rs 40 lakhs.
A quick analysis of
the information received from the Lok Sabha se
cretariat shows that on an average, Kumar was on a foreign shore every 33 days during the said time period. The data also reveals that out of the nearly 1,000-day period (June 2009 to Feb 2012) of her tenure as speaker, she was abroad for around 140 days.

Of her 30 visits, at least half were as part of the "Indian Parliamentary Delegation (IPD) under bilateral exchange" with other countries. It was with the IPD that Kumar, the union social justice minister in UPA's first government, visited Geneva on four occasions. The list of countries or cities visited by the 67-year-old speaker includes Italy, Austria, Mauritius, Mongolia, Luxembourg, Hungary, UK, Switzerland, Mexico, Vietnam, Seoul (Korea), Sweden Denmark, Japan, Iran, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, New York, Thailand, Panama, Isle of Man, Swaziland, Kenya and Tanzania.
Besides travelling to these corners with her staff, Kumar also travelled to neighbouring nations like Pakistan, Sri Lanka
and Bhutan. In Feb 2012
, she created history when she became the first Lok Sabha speaker to lead a parliamentary delegation to Pakistan.
Meanwhile, on DNA's query regarding source of her travel funds, the reply from the Lok Sabha secretariat was as follows: "The expenditure incurred in respect of salaries and allowances, including foreign travel expenses of members and officers of Parliament is borne on the budget grant of Lok Sabha, which is funded from the consolidated Fund of India, separate demand for grants in respect of Lok Sabha is also laid before both the houses of Parliament. Parliament sanctions the expenditure through the Appropriation Act every year."
Asked that whether Kumar was expected to file a report for every foreign trip she undertook, the reply said: "No, she is not expected to file a report for every trip. However, with regard to the Statutory Assemblies of Inter Parliamentary Union a report on the participation of Indian Parliamentary Delegation
is laid on the table of
the house."

Re: [HumJanenge] Fw: [voiceofindiagroup] Madam Speaker-LSabha, first disclose your mileage points

well said sir, the loot or dacoity what ever one like to call it, continues by the people to whom our national money is given to take care of. The so called public servants themselves decide how much they want from the public money, of course under the rules made by them only. Every party/MP is together in the loot and is waiting for his turn for bigger loot, therefore do not object on the basis of  simple understanding - you allow me today, i will allow  tomorrow.  Do not ask me questions  once you have elected me- the standard words of every MP.  In fact  both the houses of parliament are controlled by just 10 persons through their nominated persons(MPs) and these 10 never get defeated in elections and continues in either of the house till death. It is these ten who decide the fate of 120 crores indian. this is real democracy.  jai hind.

Re: [HumJanenge] We are Doomed with Selfish and Shameless Political Decision Making - Air India

Hi All,
 
Visiting Toronto, in the midst of our longish visit to New York, India can be seen in
a better Perspective.
 
Air India, should long have been privatised. If we are the only Fully operated Government Carrier(and Not justified)
then sustained Effort should Continue to be mounted on the Government, To do so now!
 
This crisis is an opportunity to do so Now, and Let all of Us hope for it, and Do whatever we can!
 
We Indians have to give up the trait of Not punishing the Wrong Doer...the guilty.
 
We have to work hard ourselves;  A mantra i have picked up
"
"People Do what you inspect, and Not what you Expect !"
 
So our work is cut out for us, we have to take it seriously.
 
Here in Long Island, a very important elecfed leader is called a 'Supervisor' and she is running the whole Town !!
 
Let us Work seriously.

Dear Friends,

We are the only country in the world which has a national carrier fully owned and operated by the government. Air India has already bled us, the citizens of 100,000 Cr tax payer money and our BPL figure is 32/-. Is any one answerable ? Does any one ask also about why selfish and shameless political decision continues for Air India ? All politicians have sealed their lips. 

Look at the Army. One case of disobedience of orders and in less than 24 hours, decision is taken to sack the commanding officer and disband the unit. Kudos to the Army for living up to its highest standard of discipline.

 Air India has eaten away 100,000 Cr of citizens money and Parliament has all the time to waste on frivolous discussion on democracy of 60 years. If Minister of Civil Aviation has any self respect, he would have forced the PM to call for an emergency meeting and proposed the sell off of Air India. If PM has any self respect, he would call for a cabinet meeting to prepare a resolution and then discuss it in Parliament, get the approval and have it endorsed by the President. All this in 48 hours. Above all, what is Mme Sonia Gandhi doing as UPA II Chairperson ?

Brilliant RTI minds and excellent lawyers in the esteemed HJ group, request save the nation through what ever is possible, RTIs/PILs/court case etc etc. I have no idea. May God save us.

 When Chidambaram was seen replying in Parliament a good friend tells me he was clever
as he carefully read out a letter from his son, but never stated his family is not involved.He also smiled
for a change to disarm the house and like Shakespeare said 'Put a dagger thru my heart'. I was his LO for
for 3 days in 1991 abroad and India was broke and he was Commerce minister....I never saw him smile. His wife was also with him.

Recall Rajiv Gandhi made a blunder when he said NO INDIAN AGENT IS INVOLVED in the Parliament on Bofors and gave away that a foreign agent could be involved......This came  true. AE Services Maj Bob Wilson for Quatrocchi.

And CBI never questioned  Wilson.... Please ask the clever CBI director who now writes profusely after a little lubrication.  I did..

Win Chadda got winding up charges but ...the rest is history,  best forgotten at our old age, 'We are Like That Ony' as Jug Suraiya would say in his LPG story y'day in TOI..

In my book I have stupidly argued and at Harvard with zeal,  that Indians are the cleverest people by GENETIC composition.

 THEORY. For 1000s of  years 98 % of Indians  living in Hindustan were taught the complicated
GITA MAHABHARAT RAMAYANA and such tales with ARTH  by parents, uncles, aunts, priests and Grandmothers from age 3 and slapped/punished  if the young could not recall.......in joint families. Competition was severe.

.So even if the poor kids never went to school they  became clever. My house helps and the  56 year old MCD street cleaner I chat with ( works 2 hours a day and then does private chores. Earns 20000 plus 15000)  knows the two  epics better than me ..........So even if not educated formally the brain of Indians got  developed even by the poor and also we became an emotional people and we think with our heart not brain.........

I doubt if SID MALLYA I saw on TV challenging the character of a girl knows about the Epics.. I will never give my PIN number to a girl in India. Poor girl will be called of loose character asking for my PIN number. He gave her his Blackberry PIN number. Do not give  your telephone PIN Number even to a man ...Sid Mallya will call you H.............

So Chidmbaram cleverly referred to his heart in emotion, as he is clever.....No wonder Indians top in studies abroad and now Rajat Gupta will show how clever he is and Preet Bharara will prosecute unless he has been paid off to refuse to prosecute a brother Indian. He should refuse for our reputation.The result will be interesting.That fellow Rajararatiram is in the cooler. And now we want to stop Cartoons and Internet..Very Clever.

We are generically a clever people and in Staff College in Greenwich I learnt to call a guy 'clever' was not cricket. As one ACR and Flimsy by an Anglo said, " This officer is too clever for me and will go far. The further from me the better".  After that  Indians stopped flimsies and wrote cleverer ACRs with numbers to decimal places and indexing too. And PARB, if my aging memory serves me right. Are we not clever?

After 7 years of uninhibited spending the UPA Government wants to tighten belt now ..Chidya Chuk Gaye Khet. .So No OROP I see now as Clever SG Rohinton Nariman will argue and win..    Grapes are sour for all of us in that bracket. I wait for 80 if I can wait.

Happy weekending and golfing in inflation laden times.  GAJJAR is Rs 60 a kilo Bananas Rs 50 a Doz.....soon fresh air will have to be paid for to bail Pranab out...law and order is pathetic. Be careful please.

Swamy Exposes Chidambaram Scam

$img_title


Stench of the Aircel-Maxis sleaze

Chidambaram's response unconvincing
BJP demands probe, his resignation

Dr Subramanian Swamy


 
Aircel is a telecom company providing mobile phone wireless services using 2G and 3G spectrum. Before 2006 it was wholly owned by a Tamil Nadu based capitalist called Sivasankaran, but by January 2006 it came to be owned by a Malaysia born citizen called T Anantha Krishnan, popularly called TAK. He is the son of a Sri Lankan Tamil immigrant, who arrived as indentured plantation worker. 

T Anantha Krishnan's second wife is Latchoumie (Lakshmi?) Marie Helene (LMH) born to a white French father who belongs the Le Chateau Briand family, and Tamil mother. She is popularly known as Mme 'TAK'.

TAK made his fortune first in gambling casinos and laundering LTTE drug and extortion loot garnered by the terrorist organisation treasurer K Padmanabhan (now Sri Lanka custody), and then branched into construction etc., to become a powerfully influential person in Malaysia, and had helped Quatrrocchi grease the system in that country and escape the law because of the CBI's deliberately chosen counsel.

Mme TAK, according to my usually reliable sources in Paris, is the owner of a very big art gallery, La Fantaisie, which can be described as the Christie's in France! Carla Bruni, the Italian wife of former French President Sarkozy, is a partner in this venture since two years!

Smt TAK is also owner of a sophisticated Music Recording House in Paris. Carla, who is also a pop singer, uses Smt TAK's studios for registering and issue of her albums!

Sonia, her son Rahul, and her sisters are frequent visitors. Whenever Rahul goes to France, he stays with Smt TAK. He had been there a month and half back.

Smt TAK is also owner of vine yards in northern Colombia with joint ownership with the Colombian rich families Bettancourt and Katalli. Rahul Gandhi's former live  in friend Veronique is connected to the Kattalli cartel.

Smt Tak is also one of the major shareholders in the French aeronautical company Dassault whose worldwide rejected fighter aircraft Rafaele was bought by India's Defence Ministry for a hefty 20 per cent bribe. 
But the TAKs are smart. This time in the French election they backed Hollande, who won the Presidency.

It is in this context we have to see the Aircel-Maxis deal since it impinges on India's national security as did Swan-Etisalat and Unitech-Telenor deals. Telecom towers and equipment can do cyber warfare, snoop on closed door conversations and read email.

The Indian owner of Aircel, Sivasankaran is a financial buccaneer, working always on the edge. In 2005 after getting a spectrum licence, and short of funds, he put it out that he was looking for foreign direct investment. Maxis approached him incognito through the Standard Chartered Bank. It is now alleged in an FIR of the CBI, that at that stage the then Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran entered the scene. According to Justice Shivraj Patil Report (available on the DoT website), Maran misused his office to arm twist Sivasankaran to sell all his shares in Aircel to Maxis in January 2006. Whether that was a  drama by Maran and Sivasankaran or real, only the Supreme Court inquiry will reveal. Sivasankaran however became ready to sell.

But there was a problem. FDI Rules require an Indian partner to hold at least 26 per cent of the equity for the deal to be okayed by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB). Three months earlier till January 2006, it was at least 51 per cent, i.e., Indian to be majority partner. Maran got that changed to just 26 per cent and the Indian partner to be in minority. But Maxis owner TAK would have none of that. He wanted Aircel to be a wholly owned company of his. That was against the FDI rules. So Maran was in a fix. His brother and owner of Sun TV Kalanidhi was promised Rs 800 crores bounty for his media venture by TAK, and he was salivating furiously.

Enter P Chidambaran, the Dawood Ibrahim of Indian Finance, and Jesus Christ in Lok Sabha. He was then as Finance Minister which meant the ex-officio Chairman of the FIPB. As with Raja in the January 2008 Chidambaram advising him on "share dilution" which landed Raja in Tihar, Chidambaram advised Maran to devise a trick: Form a Joint Venture with a young ambitious entrepreneur, all expenses paid. Thus they found Sunita Reddy, part owner of Apollo Hospital.

Thus Deccan Ventures came into being, but it was joint only in name. By using a financial derivative, Maxis owned all of it. With the money thus put it, Deccan purchased 26 per cent of Aircel. TAK declared proudly to Malaysian Stock Exchange and to his company shareholders' meeting that he had bought 99.3 per cent of Aircel equity (0.7 per cent still left with sivasankaran) and thus dejure Aircel became a wholly owned company of Maxis.

But TAK filed for permission with FIPB as a 74 per cent owner and got it cleared in March 2006. But there was a catch. Chidambaram did not like it that Maran had de-camped with the bribe loot. So the March 2006 FIPB clearance was not made in the name of Global Communications, a wholly owned company of Maxis, but in the name of some US company. Then Chidambaram sat on the file while TAK sweated with the thought of being so near yet so far.

Enter son Karti, fixer, ambulance chaser, money launderer, small arms dealer etc., and through a maze of cross holdings acquires at least 5 per cent of the Aircel shares before father PC re-convenes the FIPB in October 2006, and delete the name of the US company and put TAK company as the 74 per cent owner of Aircel equity. Karti's wife Dr Srinidhi starts working as a consulting doctor with Apollo Hospital. All are happy now.

So what is criminal offence? The biggest is the bogus FIPB clearance. P Chidambaram has committed offence of criminal misconduct under Section 13(1)(d)(iii) of the Prevention of Corruption Act which entails a seven year jail term for Maran, Karti, and may be Sivasankaran too under sub-Section (ii) read with IPC 120A&B. The Supreme Court has been apprised by me on May 10 last, and the matter will be heard after the vacations on July 17. If Manmohan Singh does not want to testify in court, he must get rid of Chidambaram from the Cabinet. This is what all Congress leaders except one want.  

In the meantime the Indonesian Police has issued an arrest warrant against Maxis CEO Roy Marshall for fraud, cheating and money laundering in another connected company Astro. Its money trail leads to a favourite English news TV channel. Marshall is also a Sri Lankan Tamil, and has played host to Chidambaram's wife Nalini when the deal was being brokered.             

The corruption pimple under UPA rule has defiled Bharat Mata but now it seems about to burst. Cure lies in operating vishkanya poison from our body politic.
 
Different business interests of Karti Chidambaram

The allegation was first raised by Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy, who accused P Chidambaram, then Finance Minister, of delaying clearance to the Aircel-Maxis deal in 2006, to benefit his son. Swamy contends that Karti received a 5 per cent stake in Aircel, a charge the latter denies.

Companies owned by Karti or his known associates (this includes companies that are or were at some point owned by Karti or family members):

*    Ausbridge Holdings and Investments Pvt Ltd
*    Advantage Strategic Consulting Pvt Ltd
*    Chess Management Services Pvt Ltd
*    Chess Health Care Pvt Ltd
*    Halidon Marketing Pvt Ltd
*    Kriya FMCG Distributors Pvt Ltd
*    Kaiser Luxury Hotels Pvt Ltd
*    Kaiser Surya Samudra Resorts Pvt Ltd

Known associates and directors of companies owned by Karti: CBN Reddy, S Sundar, Mohanan Rajesh.

Swamy's allegation
Advantage Strategic Consulting (ASC), a company owned by Karti, paid Rs 26 lakh to Aircel Televentures. He received a 5 per cent stake in return.

ASC's 2006-07 balancesheet, under the head 'loans and advances', a payment of Rs 26 lakh is shown as having been made to Aircel Televenture Ltd. At this point, however, Karti had no equity stake in Advantage Strategic.

It was solely owned by Ravi Viswanathan and Padma Viswanathan. The company had business relations with other companies owned by Karti.
Alongside the payment to Aircel Televentures, payments made to Karti-owned companies such as Chess Management Services, Chess Health Care Solutions and Halidon Marketing Pvt Ltd have also been listed under the same head.

There is no entry to show that ASC held any stake in Aircel Televentures (the company later became Siva Ventures, named after billionaire owner C Sivasankaran) in either company's balance sheet.
Siva Ventures, being a large company, does not list individual transactions on its balance-sheet schedules. Records of Siva Ventures prior to 2006 are unavailable.

In a legal notice served to Subramanian Swamy, lawyers for Advantage Strategic have said that the Rs 26 lakh payment was from Aircel for consultancy services rendered by Advantage. It is unclear whether entries against Chess Management and Halidon are also similarly amounts paid by them to Advantage for consultancy services. 
 
Litany of untruths

o Govt claimed no delay on part of Chidambaram in approving the Aircel-Maxis deal. It said the March 7, 2006 meeting of FIPB cleared the Maxis investment of around Rs. 4,000 crore in Aircel.
o But an October 17, 2006 Press release of FIPB shows Chidambaram cleared the deal only in the October 3, 2006 meeting of FIPB.
o The vital information that the Govt concealed is that at the March 7, 2006 meeting of the FIPB, clearances were given to another company with similar name – BT Global Communication (Mauritius) Ltd.
o The FIPB also did not show the amount of foreign investment and kept the concerned column blank. Normally all FIPB clearances would specify the value of foreign investment.

Leaking treasonous story of army movements, campaign of calumny against Indian army - Commission of Inquiry by SC judge demanded

May 14, 2012.

Statement of Dr. Subramanian Swamy,
President of the Janata Party.

I demand a Commission of Inquiry under a sitting Judge of the Supreme Court to go into two connected questions of national security:

first, the bogus and planted Indian Express story about the attempted coup by alleged illegal movement of armoured vehicles near Delhi,

and

second, the leak of the letter written to the Prime Minister by the Commander in Chief of the Indian Army, Gen V.K. Singh, pointing out the shortages in the Indian army which makes India's preparedness less than complete. The letter leak was, according to a respected newswire service, the PTI, an official of the Cabinet Secretariat belonging to the Indian Economic Service had leaked the said letter.

The fact of the matter is that such news leaks and publications cannot be effected unless there is a high level patronage promising a cover up, if and when necessary. In the case of letter leak question, it is well known that the present RAW Chief and the Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister are part of the personal entourage of Ms. Sonia Gandhi and have frequently performed personal tasks and chores for her abroad.

It is also well known that a clique of the Indian army with full backing of Sonia Gandhi had targeted one of India's most honest Army Chief viz., Gen V.K. Singh, and hence it is time to get to the bottom of this campaign of calumny, to demoralize the Indian army to the extent that they surrender to the corrupt.

Hence an Inquiry conducted by an impeccable authority, which today would be a Judge of the Supreme Court, is absolutely necessary to restore credibility and integrity to our democratic system.
