Re: [IAC#RG] FW: UPA exposed to average Indians - Chitra Subramanian Duella

Your question is best addressed to those who allege that Vadhera helicopters flew  as air taxis over Uttrakhand during the period of emergency. My source in India tells me that there was no air charter company registered in the name of Vadhera or his family.  Devinderr

As far as
one can ascertain Vadhera does not own any helicopters and
as far as one can ascertain, no private helicopter was
allowed to operate any kind of taxi service. It as all
relief work under by and under the control of the
airforce. A
manufactured news which has been attributed to one Vadhera
for political propaganda purposes.

Only brain washed & paid
spokesperson of UPA, are trying to take on Modi under the
vail of secularism. India's most politicians whose only
mission have been stacking the corrupt wealth from the power
and influence they carry, never liked even the idea of Hindu
India dreaming towards 'Hindu Rashtra'. Modi
becoming popular among Hindu India brings unreasonable fears
in all most all the corrupt politician including the one who
have been serving the party like BJP, Shiv Sena, and several
other small allies of BJP. 

In stead of talking about how the government of
today, will serve it's people in distress, whether the
suffering continues in the valley of Kedarnath or innocent
children dying by consuming meals prepared by the school in
Bihar, the media is focussing it's discussion to
divide the nation further in the name of Modi.

That is why, I have requested people of India to
drop the channels like NDTV,
  IBN, etc, from their subscription of cable TV.
Unfortunately, these channels are surviving and their talk
show host is collecting a fat check as renumeration because
Indians are feeding their hard earned money to them.
It's about time to boycott any channel and print media
who feed the non-sense ideas in the innocent minds of Indian
nationals. 

One thing is very important for all the
pseudo-secular must realize that India has been SECULAR
since it's inception, even by the words of constitution
and by its action. The slogan of secularism which has been
completely demoralizing from the leaders like
Nehru-Indira-Raji and now by Sonia-Rahul Gandhi and many
undeserving political giants out side the congress, is an
utter disgrace for Bharat-Mata.

      1. Chitra's
revelations are startling and stunning that it was Brajesh
Mishra who was running the Govt. and LKA and ABV were just
puppets obeying what he said in any matter. Read what she
says:




.....It is because of who Q was that
George Fernandes, India's
Minister of Defence during the NDA regime, told me that
he had been told by National Security Adviser Brajesh
Mishra "not to
touch the Bofors file" – because of instructions from
former Prime Minister
Atal Behari Vajpayee and deputy Prime Minister LK
Advani. It is no secret that Vaypayee and Advani
were very accommodating about Q and his friends in New
Delhi. How else can one
explain why the NDA government, in power from 1998 to 2004,
couldn't arrest Q?

It was on the Q factor that every
ambassador in Switzerland, Sweden and Italy was evaluated
for their
performance. One permanent representative to the United
Nations in Geneva,
Switzerland (PR) who was in weekly contact with Brajesh
Mishra, lied to the
Swiss about his interest in following the Bofors case. The
official contact
between India and Switzerland is through Bern, the Swiss
capital. He had no
business interfering in bilateral matters between two
states. It is because of
Q that none of this is in the public
domain......... 
2. It is clear from the above that
LKA was in complete collusion with Sonia Gandhi, bowing
almost to her feet while meeting her or calling her Soniaji,
and until the Goa meet, BJP was run as a Congress support
Party under Sonia's directions.
 LKA had apparently assured Sonia of
a third term for UPA by ensuring continuance of his
leadership of BJP. LKA tried his best to prevent Narendra
Mody's rise to Central role, first by faking diarrhoea
and unable to travel (which he did to Jaipur the next day),
then trying his best to deter Mody from being made the chief
for the Elections in BJP strongly supporting two Committees
one headed by him for State Elections and the Parliamentary
Election Committee to be decided later.
 3. A strong Rajnath SIngh defied the
opposition from Ananth Kumar and mild resistance from
Sushmaji and other seniors at Goa, and announced Narendra
Mody as the Poll Panel Chief, that led to the drama of LKA
resigning from the Parliamentary Committee and the leaders
q-ing to make him withdraw but Rajnath ignoring him and
going to a Jaipur session.
 LKA had to swallow his own spit by a
shameless approach to RSS Chief, whom he had earlier
described as a non-entity so far as BJP was concerned as a
Political Party. A
  compromise was reached and LKA was asked to withdraw his
papers. 
4.
  Congress has been too unhappy with the developments and
LKA's failure to contain Narendra Mody, and hence
LKA's visit to Nagpur to meet RSS Bhagwat followed by
Rajnath Singh to Nagpur and the parleys led to mellowing
down of the decision by a statement issued that all decision
of the Poll Panel would be taken by Rajnath SIngh and Mody
jointly and not by Mody alone.
 5. It was Brajesh Mishra, the CIA
mole in PM's office, who got Rahul Gandhi(Raol Vinci)
and his Colombian girl friend released
  from Logan Airport, where they were arrested by FBI for
carrying millions of US$ cash without declaration. On
Sonia's approach to ABV through Brajesh, ABV agreed
instructing the Indian Ambassador in US to get Raol Vinci
released who was flown back with another Passport in the
name Rahul Gandhi issued by the Embassy in
haste.
 SHOULD NOT ABV BE TRIED FOR TREASON
OF THE PARTY BY WORKING AGAINST THE INTERESTS OF THE PARTY
AND COUNTRY BY THESE DEEDS ESP. SAVING Q FROM
  PROSECUTION? 
RAM JETHMALANI RIGHLY OBERSEVED IN
AAP KI ADALAT OF INDIATV, THAT IT WAS LKA WHO DESTROYED THE
PROSPECTS OF BJP IN KARNATAKA BY ACTING AGAINST YEDDY WITH
THE SOLE INTENTION OF MAKING ANANTHKUMAR THE CM, RISKING THE
STATE AND LOSING IT TO CONGRESS- WAS IT A DELIBERATE ACTION
TO PLEASE SONIA?

The
Quattrocchi gravy train - Chitra Subramanian
Duella 




THE QUATTROCCHI GRAVY TRAINChitra is a Hindi, Urdu, French,
Bengali and a little Italian speaking Tam married to an
Italian. She writes, is a newshog, and manages a company in
Switzerland. Oh! She was also instrumental in investigating
the Bofors story in 1987.




POSTED BY CHITRA
SUBRAMANIAM DUELLA | 36 MINS AGO IN GOVERNANCE JULY
16, 2013 4:25 PM| 1
COMMENT






Italian accountant Ottavio Quattrocchi who was
paid a bribe of $7.2 million in the 1986 Bofors-India gun
deal passed away last weekend. He was no ordinary commission
agent operating in India. He was a gravy train close to the
Gandhi family. It was common knowledge in New Delhi from the
70s that anyone who was invited to the Quattrocchi home had
to wade through strategically placed photos of the Gandhi
family. If there was a major negotiation, Q was the signore in
the know.


Every Indian politician and political wannabe
who met me to "discuss" Bofors (1989 to 2013) cursed Q
behind his back and shuddered in his presence. Those who did
not shiver like a leaf when his name was mentioned claimed
they were using the Q-stick to keep Sonia Gandhi out of
power after her husband and former Prime Minister Rajiv
Gandhi was killed.  So, everybody was in the Q game for
a personal interest camouflaged as national interest.
Everyone thought my political encounter with the movers and
shakers of India was because of Bofors.


Bofors was not about Q or R.  Bofors was
about the self-respect of a nation. It was about
institutions in a democracy, the world's largest. It was
about Indians defending India in extreme weather conditions
while India slept.


The story is simple. India bought field
howitzers from Sweden in 1986 for $1.2 billion dollars. The
guns were state of the art, the price competitive. An
additional contract ensured that we would manufacture the
guns indigenously. Q (as leaked Bofors documents showed)
walked into the deal at the 11th hour,
asked for a 3% commission payable only when the deal was
concluded by a date announced by him through his front
company A.E. Services. He walked away a happy man, almost.
So why would a Swedish armaments company pay an Italian in
India working for Snamprogetti, an engineering arm of the
Italian oil and gas firm Eni, for field
howitzers?


This is what Amitabha Pande (former joint
secretary in-charge of the Bofors contract) posted on
Facebook after Q transited.




Q, like Warren Anderson of Union Carbide, was
allowed to bolt out of India. It was after I had filed my
report linking him directly to the Bofors payments with
evidence from Switzerland and Sweden and before the story
appeared in print. Q had fled from a major Indian airport
because Indians allowed Q to bolt, knowing well that he had
cheated Indians. It was in a manner similar to how India had
allowed Anderson safe passage, knowing well that he had
blood on his hands after the Bhopal gas
tragedy.


Packing the punch of Berlusconi and Raja math
(in 21st century
Italian and Indian political lingo), Q turned entire
generations of Indian politicians and bureaucrats and expert
lawyers and political commentators into doormats. He was the
parrot-green elephant with a yellow trunk and bells on his
two hind-feet in a pink room. Andy Warhol at the Thyagaraja
music festival in Tanjore (Tamil Nadu) singing Yantaro
Mahanubhava, if that helps.


In addition to making a lot of money talking and
arguing about him, people individually became prime
ministers, governors, ambassadors and collectively let
Indian down as they pretended to chase the Sicily-born Q
from port to port.  Q laughed all the way to the bank,
something he had been doing in India for a long
time.


Bribes to Q explain why when Swedish state radio
reported on July 16, 1986 that Bofors had bribed Indians and
others to take clinch the arms deal, then Prime Minister
Rajiv Gandhi informed the Lok Sabha at the first opportunity
that neither he, nor his family nor his friends had anything
to do with the deal.


It is because of who Q was that India has
dithered on Bofors for 27 years.

It is because of Q's importance that in 2009
Indian law minister Hansraj Bharadwaj unblocked Q's
accounts in London so that he could retrieve his bribe –
the tax on which was paid by the Indian
taxpayer.


It is because of who Q was that the Bofors case
was closed in 2011 for want of evidence. It is because of
who Q was that Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of the
world's largest democracy said India should apologise to
him for hounding an innocent man. A few months later the
income-tax department sent him a bill for the
bribes.


It is because of who Q was that George
Fernandes, India's Minister of Defence during the NDA
regime, told me that he had been told by National Security
Adviser Brajesh Mishra "not to touch the Bofors file"
– because of instructions from former Prime Minister Atal
Behari Vajpayee and deputy Prime Minister LK Advani. It is
no secret that Vaypayee and Advani were very accommodating
about Q and his friends in New Delhi. How else can one
explain why the NDA government, in power from 1998 to 2004,
couldn't arrest Q?


It is because of who Q was that every
institution in India from the parliament to the judiciary to
the executive was tarred with the same brush.


It was because of who Q was that every head of
India's premier investigating agency, the Central Bureau
of Investigation (CBI) developed half a spine after
retirement.


It was because of Q that the CBI sleuths during
their several trips to Sweden to get at the truth did not
meet key Swedish investigators. .


It was on the Q factor that every ambassador in
Switzerland, Sweden and Italy was evaluated for their
performance. One permanent representative to the United
Nations in Geneva, Switzerland (PR) who was in weekly
contact with Brajesh Mishra, lied to the Swiss about his
interest in following the Bofors case. The official contact
between India and Switzerland is through Bern, the Swiss
capital. He had no business interfering in bilateral matters
between two states. It is because of Q that none of this is
in the public domain.


1997. Such
was the detail of the money trail in the 350-odd leaked
documents that the world's best lawyers in the world's
toughest courts could not save the guilty among whom was Q.
Such was the enormity and grandeur of the judgment in favour
of India that Switzerland modified its laws for mutual
assistance in criminal matters to third countries. Calling
the decision "spectacular" as it had helped them plug
holes in their own system, Swiss officials and lawmakers
welcomed the Bofors-India ruling as proof that their country
was not a haven for tainted money. Criminals could no longer
delay or deny access to secret bank accounts. They could
appeal only once at the federal level instead of numerous
cantonal procedures and delays. The Marcos case from the
Philippines and the
  Bofors case from India had rocked Switzerland in the 80s.
The Marcos money was held under false names and codes and
getting to the exact bank account numbers was not easy. Q
was not bothered with such details – he was a blink away
from the money. He knew he could buck India.


So in 1997, when I stood next to the Indian
ambassador to Switzerland, KP Balakrishnan, (image
given below) I had a pretty good idea about what
was in the sealed box of secret documents from Swiss banks
to India. Over 10 years of my life (1986-1997) running
between Switzerland and Sweden investigating the case, six
of which was sitting outside courts in various parts of
Switzerland finally had a meaning.





Neither the Swiss courts nor the Swedish
investigators cared who Q was. For them, he was the
political payment, the entity that comes in when all the
numbers are on the table and walks away with a portion of
the loot without any questions. For them, he was involved in
a major criminal act against the government of
India.


July
13, 2013. The phone rang off the hook. Somebody called Q
had died, so could they get a byte? It was not an important
story, they all said, since it was breaking on a weekend and
the editors and anchors were away. So, who wanted to speak
to me? A junior anchor, one of them said. Like a junior
engineer in Bhopal, I thought.


One television channel wanted to record my
reaction before Q's death was confirmed. Upon prodding,
one of them was honest enough to say they had no idea why
they were calling me except that there was this database on
Bofors with my number. Another said they would connect with
me live at 1 am India time without disclosing my
location.


To all those who want to save India from
corruption, I ask – my number is on a data base, but where
are the documents India received in a sealed box from
Switzerland?.


RIP Q. You knew what you were doing.  And
you did it without fear and with favour.

You can watch Chitra Subramaniam Duella's
interview on why India still doesn't know the truth about
Bofors.http://www.newslaundry.com/2012/05/chitra-the-story-behind-bofors/
