Re: [IAC#RG] Outstanding issues to be resolved concerning INDIA AGAINST CORUPTION

Dear Shri Gaur

This is a very simple matter.

1)  Mr. Datta Awari of Ralegan Siddhi who is the close aide of Shri Anna Hazare informed many news agencies that Anna's office has purchased 1 crore nos. of annual bulk SMS subscriptions from Netcore at Rs. 20 per connection. He further said that the SMS cards were sent from Ralegan Siddhi to Delhi and Chennai for onward distribution.

2) As per the service provider Netcore's own website, 1 crore such subscriptions at Rs. 20 each were actually purchased by Team Anna for onward distribution on no-profit-no-loss basis (+ handling charge of Rs. 5 per card). Surely this involved about Rs.20 crores of cheque payment to be made to Netcore since service tax is involved for telecom services. This cheque payment obviously came from either PCRF account (on account of IAC) or from BVJA account (for Team Anna).  PCRF has only listed Rs. 1,59 lakhs as income from Anna-SMS card, therefore the balance must have come from BVJA. But it is not clear from where they came up with the funds to pay Netcore.  Later Anna said that 3 crore such SMS cards were actually sold. So somebody has received the money involved for the cards distributed. If Anna is aggrieved that his image was used without permission (which is hardly likely since they booked these cards), then IAC is equally aggrieved that our logo was used on these cards by some imposters and personators.  Being registered charitable trusts they can't simply claim that these valuable telecom VAS modules worth tens of crores were simply handed over to "volunteers" to distribute and without proper accounts being maintained.

3) There is a Criminal Writ Petition WR-172/2011 pending in SC against Anna Hazare, BVJA and Maharashtra Govt, and investigation is with CBI. Next date is sometime next week. Anna's various trusts have been unable to disclose their audited returns. There is massive mismanagement in Anna's trusts. The Charity Commissioner has already suspended BVJA and it was working on basis of stay order as per say of a trustee to me. It is complete nonsense that Anna Hazare is a simple person staying in a temple dependent on charity.

4) Prashant Bhushan was one of the signatories of the PCRF audited balance sheets for 2011-12, and there has been no public accounting disclosure thereafter for PCRF and it seems to have been amalgamated into Aam Aadmi Party.

5) IAC is least concerned about all this money. All we desire is to see that it is all accounted for and properly audited by these so-called paragons of virtue. We were perfectly willing to ignore Anna Hazare but it seems that his greed and ego has once again got the better of him and he is in the company of persons he knows nothing about and he should think carefully before provoking us.

My first reaction is that unless this matter of collecting funds from the time of India Against corruption Jan Andolan 0f 2011among various stake holders- gets resolved amicably through dialogue it is going to get messier and involvement of the financial institutions-I.T, ED and even courts can,t be ruled out. Singly out Anna Hazare and or Kiran Bedi/Prshant Bhusan is not going to be helpful. Regds JKGaur Mumbai
