TIME TO PROBE SANJIT  RODRIGUES

 

By Aires Rodrigues 

 

Those three flats at prime locations may not be the only assets acquired by Sanjit Rodrigues, the Managing Director of Goa State Infrastructure Development Corporation (GSIDC) who is also the Commissioner of City of Panaji.

 

Have been receiving information about other properties allegedly acquired by Sanjit Rodrigues also in the name of his family members. His family members are within their rights to own any properties but not if Sanjit Rodrigues has been the catalyst...in effect, what is known as 'benami' transactions.

 

While other officers are transferred every three years if not earlier, is it not surprising that Sanjit Rodrigues has retained his prized posting as Managing Director of GSIDC for over five years? Only after an inventory of his assets including the undeclared ones is compiled, would we know the extent to which Sanjit Rodrigues has gone to enhance and enlarge his own infrastructure.

 

To be able to finalise this inventory please send across any information that you may have on Sanjit Rodrigues.  You can send it by post to: Aires Rodrigues, Ribandar, Goa. You can also email me on airesrodrigues1@gmail.com  or airesrodrigues@yahoo.com. In the alternative you could also SMS/Call me on 9822684372. Can also be reached on Facebook.com/AiresRodrigues or Twitter@rodrigues_aires

 

The information sent has to necessarily be absolutely true, very accurate and authentic. No hearsay, presumptions or guesses please. In any case, all information would be meticulously double-checked for veracity before submission to the concerned authorities.

 

Sources in the Directorate of Accounts inform that the current monthly gross salary of Sanjit Rodrigues is Rs.1,09,684/-.  After statutory deductions he must be getting around 80,000 a month. How on earth is he able to pay the loans of those three flats he has officially declared and beat the current inflation while also maintaining his flamboyant life style? Is he surviving on love and fresh air?

 

The fight is not against the person of Sanjit Rodrigues. It is against the cancer of corruption that has engulfed and enveloped the entire administration. We just cannot give up. The battle has to start somewhere and be ongoing to weed out as many stems that are eating into the State exchequer. Such officers deserve to be lined up to be housed in Goa's Central jail at Colvale which is scheduled to be inaugurated soon. 30th July is National Whistleblower Day. But we need to be blowing that whistle loud and clear every day. Officers with knee deep assets accumulated by devious means cannot be allowed to be on the prowl.

BV WANCHOO WAS A VERY DIGNIFIED GOVERNOR

 

By Aires Rodrigues

 

Goa will miss BV Wanchoo who has very distinguishably done justice as a very proactive Governor over the last two years. Beginning with Nakul Sen having interacted with every Governor since 1972, without any shadow of doubt BV Wanchoo clearly outstands them all. He was extremely people friendly and though very knowledgeable was always ready to learn. A gentleman to the core.  Always gave everyone a very patient and polite hearing with an open mind unlike many of his predecessors including Kidar Nath Sahani who was very intolerant to hear the other side of the 'Kahani'.

 

With the change in guard at the centre the law did not require BV Wanchoo to resign and he could have continued as Governor for another three years. But he chose to spare himself of the mudslinging that the NDA leaders would have craftily unleashed to hound him. If the Raj Bhavans have to be kept out of the political stink, persons like BV Wanchoo not carrying political baggage was the way to go. Regardless of all the rhetoric we have heard over the last few weeks, this Government will not walk the talk but as expected has a string of ageing RSS pracaharaks lined up to move into the Raj Bhavans which will now be their saffonised retirement homes at tax payer's expense.

Dear friends,
YAISHWARYAJ Seva Sansthan Lucknow invites you to the capital city of
Uttar Pradesh on 30-07-14 to mark First "National Whistleblower Day"
in India.


I, on behalf of YAISHWARYAJ, am requesting you to come to Lucknow to
Pay Homage to those who sacrificed their lives for society and foster
courage in those who are still fighting against all odds.

Date  : 30-07-2014
Time : 11 AM onwards
Place : Gandhi Statue Compound, Main Hazratganj Crossing, Near G.P.O.
Lucknow-226001, Uttar Pradesh, India
Mobile Contacts : 08081898081 & 09455553838
Email contact : rtimahilamanchup@gmail.com

Event details :
1-      11 AM - Introductory Speech & start of Signature Campaign
2-      11:58 AM to 12:00 Noon - Two minute quiscent prayer for solace of
deceased RTI activists' & whistleblowers' families
3-      12:01 PM – Blow the whistle program
4-      12:15 PM – Symbolic demonstration by 'Monkeys and Juggler' show
5-      03:00 PM – Concluding speech


On the same day,we are organizing a symbolic demonstration using
'monkeys and Juggler' against misrule of administrative and Police
officers of Uttar Pradesh who are behaving like those captive monkeys
and are acting only to the  words of their Political masters or the
ones who can manage them with easy-money.


We shall honor RTI martyrs and whistle-blowers on this day. To us, a
whistleblower is the one who informs the public or the concerned
authorities of suspected illegal activities. These illegal activities
could range from violation of simple law to fraud and corruption.
Here, We are using the term 'whistleblower' in a broader perspective
and don't intend to limit it to the public servants or employees only.
Whosoever blows a whistle against the unlawful, unethical, unsocial
acts for the larger interest of the society , is a whistleblower to
us.


Through this mail, I am requesting you all to invite the family
members of all those whistleblowers who have sacrificed their lives
for various causes of the society including RTI and also the families
of all those who are faced with threats, intimidations or being
harassed  who are known to you.


In India there have been innumerable instances of whistle blowers
being killed. So it's hardly a surprise that such few people come
forward with instances of wrong doing. Some 150 whistle blowers were
have been harassed or jailed while 20 have been killed. What's
important to note is that whistle blowers exposing government
corruption face a particularly uphill task in India. Their cases often
wind slowly up the judicial chain and are only resolved decades later.
Memories of Manjunath Shanmugamand Satyendranath Dubey, Satish
Shetty,etc.  and status of their cases are known to all of us so we
shall raise a demand of fast track courts for cases concerning the
whistleblowers to ensure speedy disposal of claims.


We shall get a demand letter signed by participants of the event and
send it to the Government of India through Prime Minister of India to
formally declare July 30 as the "NATIONAL WHISTLE-BLOWER DAY" in
India.


Please try your level best to be a part of the event. If due to some
practical constraints, you are not able to come to Lucknow on
30-07-14, please support our cause and organize 'Blow-the-Whistle'
Program at 12:00 Noon in broad daylight at some prominent place of
your city to spread the idea of 'whistle-blowing' and press with
Government of India for a formal declaration of 'NATIONAL
WHISTLE-BLOWER DAY'. Please don't forget to send a memorandum to PM of
India as well.


So,This 30th July, either be with us in Lucknow or wherever you are,
just blow- the- whistle at 12:00 Noon in broad daylight at some
prominent place of your city to help strengthen democratic setup in
India.

Please circulate this mail to your contacts.

Re: [IAC#RG] Mafia Tatkal Reservation

Sir,
 
Recently I have tried to book tatkal ticket online, to my surprise, within one minute 286 tickets sold. Even after adding passengers from my travelers list  SBI could not process payment within time (even I was using 3G internet service). How it is possible? 
 
I could not understand, How a babu in railway ticket counter can work far earlier that SBI and HDFC bank payment gateway servers?  SURPRISE.
 
I am very much sure some thing is undetected and going wrong in this system.
 
The other noteworthy thing with IRCTC  is that - IRCTC is getting crores of money every day on unbooked tickets free of cost, which it is refunds without single paisa interest?
 
Payment gateways also charge customers on same lines.
 
Who can get so much money every day interest free in this country except IRCTC (Even banks are paying interest on daily balance basis).
 
Will railway oblige to return such money within 8 hours of transaction failure or pay interst?
 
Regards
 
Trivendra

Dear All,

As tour operator myself, i know its difficult to get Tatkal tickets. Agents can not book the tatkal tickets now.

When i needed a tatkal ticket for my personal travel, i have to go the Railway station myself by 2 AM so that i can confirm my position in queue ahead. You will get the tickets if you are between 1 - 5 in the queue. I think the tickets are sold out coz there are a very few tickets available comparing to the hundreds people who are waiting to get Tatkal tickets at different railway station. We may be at 20 oe 24 in our queue but others are also issuing tickets from all over the country for the same train.

Hope this may help to light some information. Well, this my view on this matter and if am wrong you are free to correct me.

Thanks

I had an experience yesterday when my daughter went to the Haldwani Railway station to get here Tatkal ticket booked. She left at 8 to see that she could get a ticket by standing in a queue.
There was no queue instead a person was giving the sl no of  your umber . She got No 24 and 25 for the two tickets that she had to book for the morning train. She was told to come back at 10 when the line was in place.
We could not get the tickets but it shows that the initial numbers are of those who manipulate the system as there was no one at the station at that time.

Good Day my dear Friends.
 
Yesterday I came to know from the Z News that Former BSF ADG PK MISHRA has stated :- criminals and touts on both sides of the India-Bangladesh border have links with some security personnel, border guards, local political leaders and administrative agencies.
 
He also suggests that we should also allow our ex-service members to be given cultivable land available in the border areas so that they will be our eyes and ears an...d forewarn the security agencies,"
 
Here I want to bring the noted points before you ;-  principally he has accepted that BSF,POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS are in the nexus for illegal migrants from Bangladesh .
 
The BSF works under Home Ministry and their prime duty is to patrol along the border area which they have neglected.
And now the former ADG BSF suggests that ex-servicemen to be settled over the border area in lieu of a small patch of agricultural land as if ex-servicemen do not have their families, old parents, brothers , sisters and human rights !!!!
 
I laugh on this................................What nonsense idea................ Who will do mistake and who will take punishment ???
 
My suggestion:- Let first find out who all are the culprits involved in such DESHDROHA activities. Let such POLITICIANS/BURAEUCRATS be inside the Red Fort under RI and put ice Bar behind them and take out the truth.
 
Let their family be settled over the border area under the sharp look out and command of the great INDIAN ARMY.

CIC provides face saving cover to DoPT–Pankaj Shreyaskar giving
marching orders without inquiry

1.      Consequent upon PMO reference regarding the conspiracy of illegal retention of Shri Pankaj Shreyaskar in CIC by unauthorisedly encadring his post by DoPT even after Shri V. Narayanasamy, Hon'ble Minister of State (PP) had rejected the request for his continuation in CIC after 6-6-2012, the CIC has at last issued marching orders to Shri Pankaj Shreyaskar on 24-2-2014 and directed him to report after 7-3-2014 to his parent cadre in the Ministry of Statistics and P.I.

2.  This is the second relieving order issued for him by CIC, the earlier one dated 6-6-2012 was neither implemented nor cancelled. Even his transfer order dated 28-5-2012 issued by his cadre controlling authority posting him in the Home Ministry was not implemented because of the influence he was wielding in the corridors of powers.

3.   Shri Pankaj Shreyaskar is facing number of allegations right from forging of documents, unauthorised removal of notesheets and documents from his personal file, fraudulently obtaining admission to regular Ph.D in JNU while NOC was issued by the competent authority for doing Ph.D on Part-time basis. Interestingly, there is no such Part-time Ph.D course in JNU. He is stated to have been attending classes in JNU since August 2013 from 9.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. (Monday to Friday), while he has also been attending CIC office during same office hours till last month. Magically, he was present at both places simultaneously till we made complaint to Hon'ble Prime Ministry about the ongoing conspiracy and thereafter, he proceeded on leave.

4.   The present relieving order for Pankaj Shreyaskar sent to the Director, Indian Statistical Service, MoSPI, has been issued by the CIC without holding any inquiry into the aforesaid alleged manipulations and corrupt practices of Shri Pankaj Shreyaskar thereby also providing a face saving cover to the DoPT for the illegalities committed by the DoPT in overreaching the order of its own Minister so as to manipulate the illegal continuation of Pankaj Shreyaskar in the CIC at the behest of a lobby of vested interests.

5.     The PMO reference and the response of the CIC are contained in the attached file. The response of the CIC to the PMO reference is quite diplomatic and conciliatory. CIC needs to be tough and transparent in such matters.

Respected Sir

I am caused to represent about the perverse and arbitrary listing of cases before your goodself for disposal when it concerns high level Respondents and the role of Mr.Pankaj Shreyaskar in this.

I am caused to represent to you by a letter addressed to yourself by one Mr. C.J.Karira dated 16.July.2012 which I have appended below, and which makes pointed allegations against Mr.Pankaj Shreyaskar and other CIC officers, but mainly against Mr.Shreyaskar.

As the details of "status" of complaints and appeals at the Central Information Commission is in the public domain, the citizens are pained to observe that your Registry is deliberately delaying hearing the appeals and complaints involving high profile Respondents. It is an open secret that Mr. Pankaj Shreyaskar is the person to be approached in the CIC to ensure that cases are delayed, files are lost or frivolous objections are raised. It is also an open secret that Mr.Shreyaskar, who has curiuosly been posted in Delhi at the CIC since as long as I can remember, was brought in by Mr.Wajahat Habibullah for the purpose of obfuscating and delaying high profile RTI requests when the previous officer, Dr. Munish Kumar, declined to be as pliable as Mr.Habibullah desired.

By way of example, let me cite an instance concerning Mr. Subhash Chandra Agrawal. In Feb/March 2011 Mr. Agrawal filed 3 or 4 2nd Appeals to you and also Smt. Sushma Singh. . Smt. Sushma Singh disposed of Mr. Agrawal's 3 cases within 3 months. On the other hand Mr. Agrawal's matter before yourself concerning the National Advisory Council was delayed for over 15 months and was only disposed of last week. 

Another such example is how Mr. Pankaj Shreyaskar and Mr. Habibullah between them ensured that 2nd appeals against the CBI concerninmg the QUATTROCHI investigations were never listed for disposal and files were repeatedly "lost" and CIC's computer records tampered with. After Mr. Habibullah demitted office, the "ruling powers" were constrained to ensure that CBI was taken out of RTI ambit to preclude the QUATTROCHI files from being disclosed under RTI process.

The inescapable conclusion is that something is very rotten in the Registry Section(s) of the Central Information Commission. Kindly take urgent steps to resolve such problems for the future. As a precondition, it would be desirable if Mr.Pankaj Shreyaskar's excessively long stay in Delhi at the Commission is shortened in the larger public interest and so that reform can go through.

I would be obliged if this email is acknowledged.

yours sincerely

Dear Sir,
 
RE: LONG PENDING COMPLAINTS IN THE CENTRAL INFORMATION

Sir, for the last one year and on several occasions, I have brought to your notice my various Complaints which are long pending in the Commission.

As you can see from the above table, these have been pending for more than two and a half years !
 
If anyone in the Commission had bothered to open these complaints and even glanced at them casually, he would have realized the effort I have put in to prepare these complaints – each Complaint took me at least 3 to 4 days.
 
Firstly, these Complaints were "lost" by Mr Pankaj K P Shreyaskar, when he was Dpty. Registrar to the Ex CIC, Mr Wajahat Habibullah.
 
I was asked to resubmit the Complaints. The resubmitted Complaints were once again "lost". These were finally registered by Mr Vijay Bhalla, the present Dpty. Registrar.
 
I have tried my best to meet everyone from the Chief Information Commissioner in the Commission (including ex Chiefs Mr Habibullah and Mr Tiwari and yourself), Secretary (the past Secretary and the present Secretary), The Additional Secretary, Registrars, Designated Officers and Clerks, repeatedly and on several occasions even outside the Commission. I have written innumerable letters, emails and repeated reminders. But nothing has happened.
 
Since you became the Chief Information Commissioner in January 2011, I have met you in person, several times on this issue as well as sent written letters and reminders. Based on these, you have issued instructions to your officers and staff – but they have even disobeyed and disregarded your own instructions.
 
On December 28, 2011 while conducting a hearing against Ten High Courts on Section 4 suo moto disclosure, in the presence of at least twenty people, you instructed Mr Akash Deep Chakravarti, Mr Pankaj K P Shreyaskar and Mr Vijay Bhalla – to read these complaints, prepare a comparative chart and put up before you within 15 days. More than six months have passed, but they have still not done so.
 
During my last conversation with Mr Vijay Bhalla, about a month ago, I was informed that if he lists these long pending Complaints, Mr Akash Deep Chakravarti and Mr Pankaj K P Shreyaskar are threatening him that there will be "Contempt of Court", since there is a stay order from the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in relation to WP(C) 3530 of 2012, Order dated 23.05.2011 .
 
 
I have personally read that stay order from the Hon'ble Delhi High Court and it is obvious that the both Mr Chakravarti and Mr Shreyaskar are trying to shelter behind this particular stay order so that they can hide their inefficiency, lethargy and corrupt practices.
 
The stay order has nothing to do with the subject matter of my above long pending Complaints and it is clear that both Mr Chakravarti and Mr Shreyaskar have neither read any of my Complaints and nor have they understood the stay order from the Hon'ble Delhi High Court.
 
The only conclusions I can draw from this bitter experience is:
 
1.   That your officers and staff are corrupt and amenable to extraneous influences since they have intentionally lost these complaints twice and have also disobeyed your repeated instructions.
 
2.   Your officers and staff and Mr Pankaj K P Shreyaskar in particular, have some malicious vendetta against me because of which they are intentionally and deliberately trying to block the listing of these Complaints since 30 months.
 
3.   The officers and staff of the Commission are influenced by the "name and fame" of the complainant, since I have proof that other Complaints against the same public authorities, which have been filed much later than my complaints, have already been listed, heard and orders passed. Your officers and staff are therefore discriminating against me on the basis of some unknown reasons.
 
4.   Your officers and staff are disobedient to the extent that they do not even follow and obey your own instructions. Under Section 12(4) of the RTI Act 2005, "the general superintendence, direction and management of the affairs of the Central Information Commission" vests in you. It is a sad that the officers and staff of the Commission fail to abide by the instructions of even the Chief Information Commissioner himself, who is the head of the Commission.
 
5.   The Central Information Commission does not follow the "first come first served" principle in listing of Complaints. Your officers and staff are lethargic and oblivious of this principle of fair play OR are corrupt to the extent that they list matters pertaining to appellants/complainants because they have been "influenced" and "bought over" by vested interests.
 
I am present in Delhi on the 18th July 2012 for a hearing of four cases by your good self and request you for a personal meeting to resolve this issue once and for all.
 
Sadly, I have to state that this is the last attempt I am making to get these long pending cases listed and heard, because as you would have realized by now, the whole experience has been totally frustrating, bitter and a waste of time for me. Rather than waste my limited resources on the corrupt, inefficient, lethargic, incompetent, disobedient and insubordinate officers and staff of the Commission, it would be better if I spent them on training Citizens and PIOs in using the RTI Act properly and correctly - at least they have ears !
 
 
Thanking You,

Respondent : Mr. Pankaj Shreyaskar,
CPIO & Director
Central Information Commission

"The Appellant states that he is extremely disappointed with the way
the Commission is working. He states that he has sent these complaints
number of times and any of his communication are being reported to be
lost. He expresses is anguish that if CIC cannot keep its records
properly how can, it set example for Public Authorities. The PIO
states that this is the only instance which is being reported and
there are no other instances which have been reported to the
Commission. The Commission recommends to the Secretary of the
commission to ensure that communication received from Appellant are
not lost and recorded properly."

Only 1 instance of CIC records not being maintained properly. <rol>
Q: Why didn't SG inquire into Pankaj Shreyaskar's bizarre statement.
Ans: Because for many years IC(SG) was responsible for digitisation of
the CIC's records.
