Re: [IAC#RG] Corruption Complaint re MINHA/E/2012/00809
Please don't list out things which almost everybody on this list knows at fingertips, and can do nothing about. If you have to contribute something positive, instead of being yet another useless "keyboard warrior", please do so.
Mr.Ambreesh Pandey had exposed that criminal MPs were being provided sophisticated arms by Government including prohibited bores. He was unable to process his case further because MHA had failed to act on his Public Grievance.
http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/mps-charged-with-serious-crimes-get-guns-from-government/article3713864.ece
By my email to the MHA, IAC has put Mr. Ambreesh's stuck car back on the right track. In a few days the appropriate statutory complaint can be filed under the concerned sections against the Union Home Secretary. Statutory proceedings will follow long after his retirement, and he will have to pay for these out of his own pocket. This is a tried and tested formula which only depends upon th determination of our member to pursue to the end.
You have also been sending many emails complaining that IAC should do this or IAC should do that or IAC is not doing anything. This IAC is not the Anna/Kejriwal IAC. We have a transparent ideology which is in public domain. Please read it.

Dear Sri Sarbajit Roy, Your letter to MHA reveals that nobody is afraid of indulging in corruption despite so much noises are made in the country. Some people are agitating through various sources against corruption, but at the same time, despite all these agitations, corrupt people are continue to indulge in corruption without any fear of consequences. This is because, there is no severe punishment in India for those who indulge in corruption. 2 G Scam A. Raja is happily roaming around in Delhi or Chennai. The other crucial players in the 2G, the UPA Chairman, PM, FM are left out. As had happened in the Coalgate CBI Report to SC, the CHI Report on 2G must have been vetted by PMO, FM, LM, SG, ASG and others to ensure that their names are not figuring in the Report to SC. How 2G Scam can happen without the knowledge of PMO, FM and LM . There is a complete cover up by CBI on 2 G Scam. Even though there are clear evidences of implication of PMO, FM, SG, ASG CBI filed FIR letting off others involved. Karunas Daughtger Kanimozhi, wife Dhayalu, nephew Dhayanidhi Maran are all involved in the 2G Scam. Now, slowly, their names are getting diluted. Karuna had built up a Empire in TN. How he had amazed such a huge wealth ? SUN TV Network owned by Dhayanidhi Maran, more than 30 TV Channels in different languages. He illegally laid Cables to connect his SUN TV Network without any licence and approval from Telecom Authorities incurring loss to the exchequer to the extent of Rs.350 Crores. How he was able to start so many TV Channels ? What is the sources of money to start so many channels ? Karuna owns more than 20 Kalaigner TV Channels. What was the source of income to start so many TV Channels just like that in no time. TV Channels after Channels daily being started. How it is possible ? What is their source of so much of income. His Daughter owns lot of business interest and running 5 or 6 Engineering Colleges in and around Trichy. How it is possible ? His wife Dhayalu owns lot of business interest in Chennai and other places. TATAs through their Voltas gifted away prime lands in hearts of Chennai to Karunas Binami. This matter came up in the CBI Report and it is all silenced now by influential politicians.Om Prakash Choutala may be in Jail. But, he may be enjoying 5 Star comfort in Jail.
Lalu Prasad Yadhav involved in Cattle Feed Scandal is yet to be punished. Despite his direct involvement in this scandal, he got elected as an MP and held the Cabinet Rank Railway Minister. There are several cases against Mulayam Singh Yadhav and Mayavathi. CAG submitted serious allegations against Food and Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on import and export of food grains. All these Reports put in the cold storage because of the influence of Sharad Pawar. On Adharsh Scam, even all Maharastra Cheif Ministers and other Ministers involved from 1998, none of them are punished and they are all holding high positions either at Central or at State.After the exposure of 2 G Scam, Adharsh in M'stra and Mining Scam in J'kand, people should fear to indulge in corruption. But, it is no so and so many Scams come to light after wards.The HP CM was involved in cases of evasion of his Apple Orchards income, Receipt of bribe money through investments in his name, but all are wiped out by CBI by giving clean chit and he is elected again as CM. The death of Rajasekhara Reddy in a Helicopter crash is still a mistry and actions against his Son JM Reddy onm DPA cases are still not clear. Similarly, there may be cases in Gujarath, MP, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana (Haryana land cases against Robert Vadara are all dropped).Take the case of Coalgate. MMS held this Ministry. So much of Scam had happened in Coal Ministry. Ashwani has become a scapegoat. But MMS pretends nothing had happened. Take the case of Bansal. so much evidence to point his involvement in the Scam. But MMS is protecting him. Now, he is let off and slowly the case will be diluted.What I want to bring home, there are no punishment for politicians who indulge in Scam. So, Politicians or Bureaucrats or Executives not afraid of any Scam and they continue to indulge in fresh Scams.With Best Regards,

Sir
Shri Ambreesh Pandey has complained to this office that the Customs Dept is disposing of confiscated weapons in breach of MHA's prescribed norms.
A Public Grievance concerning this had been lodged by him on the PGPORTAL which is registered at MINHA/E/2012/00809 and is pending with you since 04-July-2012.
It has been reported that MHA is demanding a substantial bribe from the Complainant to attend to his registered grievance. You may kindly take careful notice that the time to dispose of registered public grievances is 2 months, whereas Mr. Pandey's grievance is pending for over 10 months, lending credence to his contention that the Union Home Secretary is demanding a bribe to process his complaint and resolve his grievance filed as a patriotic Hindustani in the national interest.
In the circumstances, it would be fit if you kindly resolved Mr. Pandey's pending grievance by next Friday 17-05-2013 positively, failing which Mr. Pandey is advised by this office to seek formal sanction to prosecute the said Secretary/MHA for corruption and dereliction of statutory duties.
The annexures to Mr. Pandey's Public Grievance are reattached for your ready reference. Kindly acknowledge receipt of this communication.

Re: [IAC#RG] ESCALATION: PUBLIC GRIEVANCE: DoPT's new Guidelines on suo-moto disclosure in RTI.
Shri P.K.Misra, IAS
Secretary, Department of Personnel
BY EMAIL
Date: 11.05.2013
Sir,
I am constrained to inform you that I have not had the courtesy of a reply from you to my email below.
I am again constrained to bring to your notice my specific grievance that the DOPT, under you, has advised all the Ministries and Departments of the Union Government to publish on their websites all RTI requests, replies and appeals pertaining to them
I am constrained to object as follows:-
1) That the said advice is CORRUPTLY delivered on the lobbying of Ms Aruna Roy, a notorious foreign financed tout embedded within an irregular government body "National Advisory Council (NAC)" through a Task Force packed with her equally foreign financed operatives.
2) The consequence of this advice is that RTI users all over India shall be threatened, attacked and killed.
3) That this obnoxious clause 1.4.1. was CORRUPTLY inserted without any proper public notice.
4) That all my own comments against the Task Force's proceedings were ignored due to the clout and influence these foreign controlled touts wield within your Department. It seems that under your watch Indians and dogs are not welcome at the DoPT.
5) That the said advice is contrary to many specific provisions RTI Act as is clear from the preamble to the Act
6) I don't think it is anybody's case that all communications between citizens and government should automatically be placed in public domain over the internet.
I would therefore be obliged if the said clause 1.4.1 is immediately withdrawn in the larger public interest and the same communicated to me by next Friday 17-05-2013 at the very latest.
With best wishes

Sir,
I am constrained to inform you as follows:-
1) That Shri Manoj Joshi, JS(AT&A) has not yet acknowledged my email addressed to him, dated 21.04.2013.
2) That every time I complain to the DoPT using Public Grievance Facility, certain vested interests like Ms. Aruna Roy (Member/NAC) ensure that the concerned files get stolen / lost within DoPT. The junior officers of the concerned RTI section are hapless since the oral orders to arrange the theft of these files emanate directly from the National Advisory Council and they are powerless to refuse. When the officers refuse to be cowed down to make the files disappear they are bribed with out-of-turn promotions, such as in the case of Mr. K.G.Verma (formerly Director/RTI) who arranged that some crucial files disappeared and no FIR was lodged for it.
3) In the instant case, I am aggrieved that Ms. Aruna Roy-member NAC (who describes herself as being founder of an organisation styled as National Campaign for People's Right to Information - "NCPRI") managed to pack a Task Force for RTI suo-moto disclosure with constituents of the NCPRI, to the extent that all the representatives of so-called "civil society" in the Task force were her dummies who uniformly demanded to be heavily reimbursed for their participation in the Task Force, and which I suspect is a kick-back for Ms. Aruna Roy who got them appointed by misusing her position as member NAC, where incidentally she mock-piously takes no money.
4) As Mr. Manoj Joshi has a long way to go in public service, he is evidently not prepared to tangle with fixers like Ms. Aruna Roy and take up my public grievance with the integrity and dedication it deserves.
5) Accordingly, I would be obliged if my public grievance is therefore entrusted to some capable and upright officer, if there are any, in your Department for urgent and expeditious resolution.
6) I and members of my movement - the "India Against Corruption" are OUTRAGED at a particularly obnoxious and bizarre clause 1.4.1 in these guidelines, inserted at the behest of Ms. Aruna Roy, which is designed to target RTI Activists so as to get them killed and/or physically assaulted and threatened etc., and which I say should be withdrawn immediately since the present position is that an RTI request abates on the death of the applicant.

Sir
I refer to the RTI Guidelines on suo-moto disclosure. I have carefully noted that these are stated to be based on the proceedings of the Task Force of May 2011 which allegedly included some civil society representatives.
http://ccis.nic.in/WriteReadData/CircularPortal/D2/D02rti/Suo_moto_disclosure-15042013.pdf
It seems all my several objections and public grievance made to you and your predecessor Mr Rajiv Kapoor that the so-called members of civil society organisations of the May 2011 Task Force are bogus and/or fake persons hand-picked by Ms. Aruna Roy (NAC/NCPRI) to push through a foreign financed transparency agenda, have been ignored / overlooked / not considered.
Let me reiterate for your benefit a few of my objections which were not considered while issuing these guidelines :-
1) NCRPI was meant to send 1 representative, they sent 3 (Mr. Venkatesh Nayak, Ms Rakshita and Mr. Nikhil Dey).
2) Satark Nagrik Sangathan is a dummy constituent of NCPRI operating out of a small "scooter garage" measuring 4' x 6' of a DDA flat.
3) JOSH is another constituent of NCPRI, as is MAGP, which is closely associated with NCPRI.
4) "IT for Change"'s connection to NCPRI is unclear
On the other hand there is no dearth of civil society organisations working for RTI which openly disagree with and are not connected to NCPRI and who ought to have been represented.
I would therefore request you to kindly acknowledge my instant grievance and immediately recall your impugned Guidelines. In the alternative I would be left with no alternative but to complain against the officers who allow such blatant lobbying by Ms Aruna Roy to take place for extraneous considerations, and I would do so publicly.
PS; for your ready reference the text of one such complaint I made to Mr. Rajiv Kapoor by email on 9.June.2011 is appended below, and I hope the same was taken into consideration while formulating these guidelines

Joint Secretary (ATA), DoPT/GoI
CONFIDENTIAL
Sir
SUBJECT: Concerning section 4 RTI Act Task Force
1) I thank you for the courtesy extended to me when I visited your office today in connection with my grievances regarding PG and RTI matters and consequent perception / accusations of impropriety ./ dishonesty. I am very concerned that no wrong / false accusations are made / perceived to be made.
2) For your ready reference, I am listing a few initial concerns of mine on the OM for composition of the Task Force for section 4 RTI Act implementation, and on which OM public comments are invited.
A) That many (perhaps all) of the 5 NGOs selected for the Task force seem to be hollow / fake organisations, none of which could be located by me in the NGO database maintained by the Planning Commission of India [http://ngo.india.gov.in/ngo_search1_ngo.php] having over 35,000 duly registered VOs / NGOs. It is pertinent that the Planning Commission requires a valid address and copy of the Incorporation Certificate of the NGOs for listing on the website, which further leads me to suspect that some or all of the 5 NGOs are unincorporated or having other deficiencies in their particulars / place of business.
B) That I was informed that some of the "fake" NGOs on the Task Force are demanding that they be "reimbursed" for expenses allegedly incurred by them instead of accepting grants / contracts as funding for their Task Force obligations. I apprehend that such demands will expose your Department to fresh accusations of corruption and money laundering, especially since no tenders (or other transparent procedures) have been followed to select these NGOs. I would humbly suggest that the financial systems / accounting processes / balance sheets of the concerned NGOs be properly assessed before any funds are released / reimbursed to them. It would not be out of place here to mention that I am given to understand that until very recently Mr Shailesh Gandhi (Central Information Commissioner) continued to jointly operate funding systems of the NCPRI running into lakhs of rupees despite the fact that Mr Nikhil Dey is ostensibly the.NCPRI convenor.
C) That many of the NGOs / representatives who attended the first meeting of the Task Force appear to have no verifiable expertise concerning non-compliance / implementation of section 4 of RTI Act. For example Mr Nikhil Dey, Ms Aheli Chowdhury, Ms. Pankti Jog, IT for Change etc have not filed any appeals / complaints at the CIC whatsoever (as per CIC website), and so the average observer (hard pressed to know what other expertise they possess in this field) would trust that the DoPT would proactively arrange that the concerned NGOs detail their expertise in the field citing the appeals / complaints in which they are parties concerning section 4 implementation before the Information Commissions, and which could be disseminated via the website of the DoPT.
D) That there are many expert individuals who are domain experts in the practical problems of section 4 delivery and access. These persons can be easily located from public domain resources such as the decision database of the Central Information Commission or through their prior correspondence / RTIs to the DoPT etc. In my view such affected / expert individuals would be a far better resource to be directly tapped to determine the problems / ambiguties, if any, with section 4 RTI Act, and I am certain (as I know many of them) that they would share their knowledge freely / without charge if properly invited / requested instead of merely asking them to comment on minutes of meeting involving NGOs / CSOs.
E) That my close reading of the OM constituting the Section 4 Task Force shows that it specifically excludes the citizen stakeholders (ie. the statutory clients) from its participatory purview. In the circumstances it would be irregular to expect that aware individuals actively involved in RTI would voluntarily participate in a policy formulation process which deliberately excludes them (except as a token formality / afterthought) and which instead includes ersatz substitutes in their place.
f) There is also the issue of disclosure of information (intellectual property) submitted to the Government in confidence, and whether such submissions in the course of a public consultation / adversarial process can be unilaterally disclosed to private persons / NGOs in the absence of a pre-disclosed policy which prevents plagiarism / IP theft by NGOs / CSOs / other stakeholders. That this is a serious issue is evident from the CIC decision in "CIC/WB/A/2007/00731/LS dt 17.03.2009" titled "Rajinder Singh versus MoUD" where the CIC held that the MoUD could only disclose my pleadings in a court case available with the MoUD to my co-Petitioner Mr Rajinder Singh once the case was finally decided so as to protect my 3rd party rights. The question of whether such submissions / pleadings in this case can be disclosed during the course of adverserial proceedings is very complex and is also the subject of a pending SLP 30152/2010 in the Supreme Court where I am the 2nd Respondent, and for which SLP the DoPT has consented to allow the Attorney General of India to represent the CIC against me. The linkage of the impugned decision to section 4 disclosure / repeated non-compliance is clear from page 5 of the following document [http://rti.india.gov.in/cic_decisions/WB-01062009-04.pdf]
G) That notwithstanding the above, I shall certainly submit my own views / experiences on section 4 issues which the Task Force is dealing with and on the expectation that it will be fairly considered

[IAC#RG] Corruption Complaint re MINPA/E/2012/00108
Smt. R. C. Khwaja
Joint Secretary
Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs
87, Parliament House
New Delhi 110001
Contact Number:23034734
e-mail:jsmpa@nic.in
Dear Madam,
Shri Raj Kumar Vaish of Sitapur UP has complained to this office that substantial bribes have been demanded from him to process his subject Public Grievance lodged through the PGPORTAL and duly registered at MINPA/E/2012/00108.
The said grievance was filed on 10-Dec-2012, action was apparently initiated on 03-Jan-2013 but the grievance is still unresolved as of today. This singular fact is prima facie evidence of Mr. Vaish's contentions
Kindly note that Sh. Vaish's grievance apparently relates to large scale corruption in the Supreme Court of India, as per the complainant.
It is a matter of considerable concern if the said grievance has not been resolved only because some Members of Parliament are demanding to be bribed to consider his case. This is intolerable in a Parliamentary democracy and this matter should have been referred to the Secretary-General long ago for final resolution.
It is further intolerable that public spirited citizens like Shri Raj Kumar Vaish who formally intimate the Chief Justice of India about specific acts of corruption by named judges should be threatened with notices for contempt of court to withdraw the complaint. The grievance of Mr.Vaish is genuine that such public spirited citizens (who are the source of all power in India) should enjoy statutory immunity against vengeful courts standing on their false prestige to protect their fraternity.
yours faithfully

Dear Sumer Agarwal, Well said. You are 100% correct. People have not voted against corruption in K'tak. All corrupt people have been elected. Apart from Vir Bhadra Singh in HP(CBI had a clear case of his involvement in a Scam, but was let off, may be at the instance of Sonia and Co. ), Lalus in Bihar, Mulayams in UP, Mayavathi in UP, Karunas in TN, Reddys in AP, (even though the latter (s) are not in power now, but, they prop up the Govt. and rein lot of control over the UPA II with their meniscus strength) in the recently concluded K'tak election, the BS Yeddyurapa's KJP and Reddy Brothers proxy BSR Congress party ( B.S. Sriramulu an associate of the Reddy Mining Barons of Bellary) and BJP's porn addicted MLAs, totally misruled the State and hence, they had no option except to vote to Congress whose track records are no so better than the above tainted parties and such climax scenes they will start to experience for another 5 years. K'tak electorate know who are corrupt. They should have totally rejected them by losing their deposit, if they had really voted against corruption. But the fact is different. The K'tak election is nothing to cheer that they have voted against corruption. In fact, they have elected only corrupt MLAs again. All the parties have some share in the land scams (Bangalore-Mysore Industrial Corridor) Iron Ore mining etc., etc. It is all well known that Deve Gowda and his Son Kumaraswamy are also part of the BSY Scam. SM Krishna is in possession of huge track of Coffee Estates in Chikmagalur, Hassan, Bhadravathi and he is the Franchiser of Coffee Business which earns him 100s Crores every year. How it is possible without misappropriating rich forest lands ? There are so many misdeeds each and every Politicians are indulging. Some are exposed and some (most) of them covered up when they surface here and there and most of Scams don't see the light of the day by connivance of Officials and Politicians. . Take the case of land grab/scams in Maharashtra. Two years back, after the Adharsh Scam came to light through a Whistle Blower and land scams and irrigation scams exposed. by CAG Reports, What happened ? All are covered up by Sharad Pawer the most corrupt Politician in the country as he has close links with all these scams. Apart from these, Scams in the Food and Agriculture Ministry on import and export of food grains for which he was the Central Cabinet Minister. After the Scams surfaced, he clearly divested some portfolios. By divesting portfolios, can be devoid of these Scams. As per CAG Reports, 1000s of Crores loss to the Exchequer due to import and export of food grains. What action was initiated against him. ? Nothing so far He is the King Maker in the UPA II. He hand picks the CM of M'stra who will be a puppet and amenable to all his misdeeds. That much control he reins at M'stra. As Food and Agriculture Minister of the Country, his only concern is how to protect the Sugar Cane Farmers and Sugar Barons at M'stra.( In UP the Sugar Barons are controlled by Mulayam and Co.) I have not seen any report of Sharad Pawar involvement in inter linking of Rivers, reclaiming barren lands, generating irrigation facilities, reduce import of food grains and export of surplus food grains, etc., etc., Inter linking of Rivers will accrue enormous wealth to the Nations's Exchequer and reduce poverty. I have not at all seen his involvement in any of these most important development priorities in the country, but his only concern is lobbying for Sugar barons and to become PM. Already the country is suffering with MMS as PM and added to it, Sharad Pawar also wants to grab more power at Centre. The way the Ccoalgate Scam is handled by CBI, it is a open secret now, how the Sonia and Co. would have manipulated the 2 G Scam in the CBI Report to ensure that her involvement, MMS, PC, Pranab, names are not figuring and fix only A.Raja. How, a single Minister can indulge such a big Scam without the knowledge of Cabinet and PMO. Then what for a Cabinet if such an important far reaching policy matters are not discussed in the Cabinet ? The total functioning of Govt. is farce. Only a revolution elsewhere happening in the world, will oust all the corrupt Politicians. SO, IT IS TOTALLY WRONG TO SAY THAT K'TAK ELECTORATE HAD REJECTED THE CORRUPT. IT IS ONLY AN ILLUSION. IN FACT, K'TAK ELECTED VOTED ONLY FOR CORRUPT POLITICIANS. UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, IAC SHOULD DECIDE HOW TO GO ABOUT TO ROOT OUT CORRUPTION IN SUCH A SITUATION WHEN THE ELECTORATE ITSELF VOTE FOR CORRUPT.

Actually I would like to ask Mr. Venkatraman (who incidentally is an IAC G-Sec from Chennai) who he would suggest in place of MMS a) if Cong returns to power in 2014 b) If Cong does not return to power in 2014.

DR. MANMOHAN SINGH SHOULD SERVE (SAVE) INDIA BY RETIRING
Millions of Indians think that it is now the time for Dr. Manmohan Singh to retire.
Dr. Manmohan Singh is guilty of facilitating corruption and nepotism in the country by his inept leadership. Some people are corrupt for amassing money and some people do not mind tolerating corruption for holding on to the position. Both the category should be considered as equally corrupt.
Even now, Dr. Manmohan Singh can win back some friends and admirers and find a better place for himself in history, by owning responsibility for the deplorable corrupt conditions in the country and moving away. On the other hand, if he would think that holding on to power and position and remaining loyal to his party president at any cost , should be the be all and end all of his life, then , the entire good image that he gained in the past would be wiped out in one stroke. Future generation would judge him very poorly.
Will he listen to the voice of the country ?
