But is there an iota of will in judges? CjI Khare had given bail to two convicted pedophiles and enabled them to flee out of India for a bribe of Rs 15 cr (as per rumors in Supreme Court lawyers). Just look at Satyam's CEO who is officially getting 5 star facilities in prison, because a judge ordered so. Such judges have no capacity to stand against international pressure coming from MNCs, and most judges have their lawyers in MNC panels and making crores of rupees. Otherwise, why didnt SC-Cj Kapadia direct CBI to arrest Radia and lock her up in Tihad, and throw away keys in a well?Pratyush wrote:She can still be arrested and put through the judicial meat grinder. If the GOI has the will to do so.
n the season of scams, list another one: the Central Bureau of Investigation has been asked to probe allegations of corruption and fraud in the “humanitarian” export of non-basmati rice to African countries between 2007 and 2009. In the firing line are PSUs who allegedly bent norms to allow private exporters to make a killing.
For example, rice was exported to Ghana by one of the private firms for $684 per tonne while the domestic purchase price was only $261 per tonne. So the total margin for the private firm was $423 per tonne while the PSU showed a “trade margin” of only $11 per tonne. The private supplier earned $412 per tonne.
Interestingly, the nomination of the Indian supplier was made by the Government of Ghana even before the EGoM decided to lift the export ban.
The inquiry has revealed how instead of being nodal agencies, the PSUs became “intermediaries” in the deal — except in the case of exports to Mauritius.
http://www.indianexpress.com/news/upa-1 ... -in-africaCommerce Secretary Rahul Khullar has clearly hinted at a criminal conspiracy in the manner in which the exports were executed. He has noted how, “it was crystal clear that the PSUs have not complied with the spirit of the public policy decision. Instead of directly exporting the rice, they settled for being mere standers-by watching on as individual private suppliers amassed huge gains from commercial transactions when, in fact, those profits should rightly have accrued to the PSUs...it is not an unreasonable surmise that there is a possibility of the PSUs acting in complicity with the private suppliers for a motive. This, in turn, implies the possibility of a criminal act.”

"Raids are being conducted and the concerned minister (A Raja) has resigned...The guilty will be punished," Singh, in-charge of party's affairs in Assam, told reporters here.
Stating that there was no need for a JPC, he said, "The PAC is under the chairmanship of senior BJP leader Dr Murli Manohar Joshi and if his party's leadership does not have faith in him then it is ridiculous."
Singh said even Union Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee had said that the PAC would look into the issue.

"Crorepathy" Fr. Jegath Gasper Raj main link for Tigers in IndiaDuring the last week alone, Father Gasper Raj has been promoted by mainstream electronic media as a representative of Sri Lankan Tamils! Participating in debates on electronic news channels, he blatantly supports LTTE in the guise of voicing human rights concerns, criticizes the Indian government, and in one debate on Times Now Channel had the audacity to call Dr. Subramanian Swamy a “paid agent of Rajapakse”! Yet it is unclear if he is a Sri Lankan refugee or an Indian citizen. His antecedents and present activities in India/Tamil Nadu need thorough investigation.
Tamil Tigers and the Church consider Fr. Gaspar Raj as their latest pop priest. ‘It is a story of rags to riches and from obscurity to political connections and fame," said an Indian commentator.
Political observers state that Fr. Gaspar Raj was responsible for bringing the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to come closer once again to the Tamil Tigers, banned in India.
Fr.Gaspar Raj sudden rise to prominence began when he joined the Tamil language broadcasting division of Veritas Radio broadcasting to Asia. This radio runs program in Bahasa (Indonesia), Mandarin, Bengali, Sinhala, Burmese, Tamil, Filipino, Telugu, Hindi, Urdu, Kachin, Vietnamese and Karen languages.
For sometime the Tamil Tigers left him alone but renewed their connections in recent months. He is now seen as the conduit through which millions of Indian rupees flow into the hands of the movers and shakers of the Tamil Nadu and Indian politics in general.
Father Gaspar Raj is the founder of the Tamil Maiyam, a non-profit organization. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi’s daughter Kanimozhi is the coordinator. Joinlty they organized the “Chennai Sangamam” (a cultural extravaganza) in the city which has drawn flak for its Tamil Tiger links.
The Jaya TV, (which has AIADMK chief Jayalalitha's patronage), which is opposed to the Tamil Tigers, telecast a 30-minute program on 04 March focusing on Fr Gaspar Raj sharing the platform with Nachimuthu Socrates, one of the senior fund-raisers for the Tigers.
The TV program highlighted that Socrates was among the eight arrested by the US Federal agents in August last year. American authorities have accused him of plotting to buy surface-to-air missiles for the Tamil Tiger rebels by bribing the US State Department officials. One of objectives was to bribe US officials to get the banned Tamil Tigers struck off the list of US terrorist organizations.
The program had also raised uncomfortable questions about Father Raj playing an important role in the state-sponsored Chennai Sangamam. The channel also questioned the ‘Government Order’ that had given Kanimozhi access to unlimited funds for her cultural programs.
Does Fr. Jegath Gaspar Raj was born into a low-middle class Catholic family in Nagarkovil, located in Tamil Nadu, India. He was in the early days a parish priest in a remote village in the Kanniyakumari district.
In the meantime, when DMK under the leadership of M. Karunanidhi, managed to win back the power in the last elections, Fr. Gaspar Raj moved fast to win the favour of the new Tamil Nadu regime. He won by using Ms. Kanimozhi one of the Board of Trustees and coordinator of the Tamil Maiyam .
Ms. Kanimozhi is the daughter of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and the leader of the ruling party DMK.
She is also poet and also run `Karuthu', an organization run by her and Karthi Chidambaram, Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram's son, to espouse freedom of speech, and expression of views. It is said that Karuthu is a non-political organization. Karuthu does not have an opinion on its own; nor does it reflect collective opinion. This is a forum for people to express their opinions in a decent manner. Karuthu is not constrained in any manner by religion, caste, and creed; nor is it shy of any subject. Politics, philosophy, contemporary understanding of history, social issues and all matters may be discussed here. One may also take a contrary view. The only requirement is that there should not be any personal attack.
This was the time LTTE wanted to make thei presence felt in India again. Tamil Tigers were getting disenchanted with Vaiko – V,Gopalasamy, the leader of the Marumalarchchi Dravida Munnetra Kalgam (MDMK).
LTTE leadership, after a lapse of a long period of time, contacted Fr. Gaspar Raj who in turn proved himself as an indispensable person by organizing the meeting of the TNA parliamentary group with the Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and on the following day the meeting of TNA MPs with Dr. Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India.
Political sources claim that millions of Indian rupees changed hands from the Tiger coffers for the arrangement of these meetings.

Cong invokes Bapu to tide over scam maelstrom
December 16, 2010 2:36:41 AM
Kumar Shakti Shekhar | New Delhi
At a time when the ruling Congress is highly disturbed over allegations of multiple scams being leveled against its Government, the party has chosen to again fall back upon its mascot – Mahatma Gandhi.
The Hindi version of Richard Attenborough’s Oscar-winning film Gandhi will be screened for the delegates on the first day of the party’s 83rd plenary session starting on December 18. “The screening of the film is aimed at conveying the simple and high thinking way of life of Gandhiji,” said an organiser.
A cultural programme, to mark 125 years of the Congress on December 19 evening, would be held after the political resolution is discussed and passed. The highlight of the programme would be a play depicting the first plenary session held in 1885 in Bombay under the presidentship of WC Bonnerjee.
Tribal dances of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, bhajans of ‘Kabir Panth’ apart from a Kathak performance by Manjari Mishra and her troupe would also be part of the cultural programme.
While a public rally is usually held on the last day of the session, there is none this time. One such rally was held during the 79th session held in Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh in 1992 when the then Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao was also the Congress president and he hailed from that State.
In another unusual feature, a resolution on 125 years of the Congress would also be passed apart from the usual political, economic and foreign resolutions. This session’s slogan is ‘125 years of dedication and service’.

A Digvijay aide said the Congress general secretary in charge of Uttar Pradesh made the statement “to end Muslim alienation from our party” in the state.
Uttar Pradesh Congress spokesperson Akhilesh Pratap Singh agreed. “If Muslims didn’t root for us in Bihar, it was because the upper castes were not with us. The Muslims didn’t want to waste their votes on us. Now in Uttar Pradesh, the Brahmins and Thakurs are annoyed with our general secretary’s statement. He will have to quickly make amends…. Or else even Muslims will see no point in remaining with the Congress.”

Looks like this is standard practise. In Karnataka Kumaraswamy and party (JD) says that Yeddiyurappa and Co (BJP) were taking the government lands all to themselves and their relatives. Swamy demands an enquiry. Yeddi accepts it but orders all the land related orders for the past 15 years to be pulled out.

PS:I guess 2010 must forever be remembered as the "Year of the Scandal".CSI takes no action against Bishop Dorai: The Church of England Newspaper, Dec 10, 2010 p 7. December 13, 2010
Posted by geoconger in Church of England Newspaper, Church of South India, Corruption.

Bishop Dorai (centre) following his release on bail earlier this year
First published in The Church of England Newspaper.
The Executive Committee of the Church of South India (CSI) Synod has declined to take disciplinary action against the Bishop in Coimbatore for theft and fraud.
At their Nov 29-30 meeting in Madras, the committee voted to take no action after one of the three members of the fact finding committee appointed to investigate Bishop Manickam Dorai had offered a dissenting opinion to the report that found the bishop had abused his office for personal financial gain. However, Bishop Dorai remains suspended from office and remains free on bail as he awaits criminal trial on multiple counts of theft and fraud.
The decision not to act against Bishop Dorai has provoked strong criticism from anti-corruption activists in the CSI. The CCC (Christ Centered Campaign), whose representatives met with Dr Rowan Williams during his trip to India to share their concerns about church corruption, accused the Moderator of the CSI, Bishop S. Vasanthakumar of “burying” the report and putting the investigative committee in “cold storage.”
If allowed to continue its investigations if Bishop Dorai, the CCC alleged, it would have “opened a Pandora’s box of similar demands for action against other corrupt CSI bishops.”
In its 32 page report, the fact finding committee led by retired Karnataka High Court Justice Michael Saldhana, former Karnataka Director General of Police A J Anandan and bank auditor C E Sarasam, reported it had been hindered in its investigation as many of the documents were in police custody, and Bishop Dorai and his supporters had refused to cooperate.
However, the committee found substantial evidence of criminal behavior by the bishop. It said Bishop Dorai had pledged diocesan bank accounts, trust funds and pension funds as collateral for personal loans, sold admissions to diocesan schools, took kickbacks on building contracts and diverted diocesan funds for his personal use. They found the bishop had authorized the sale of diocesan property to real estate developers at approximately 20 per cent of their market value, in return for what the committee believes were kickbacks from the real estate developers.
“These transactions are not a mere case of mismanagement but point to rank dishonesty and criminality,” the committee said.
The bishop’s family was also involved in the looting of the diocese the committee found. The bishop’s brother, Murthy, as head of the diocese’s Erode Womens Christian College “bled this institution” of funds by setting up a parallel teacher’s training college to which he diverted diocesan assets and encumbered college assets with loans of over £240,000 which he allegedly kept for his personal use..
“Virtually every expenditure and every facility of the CSI institutions right down to the vehicles and computers were diverted from the CSI institutions to Murthy’s personal institute which is run by his wife. Not only is this unethical and a clear case of misappropriation of funds and property running into lakhs of rupees, but it is downright dishonest and unethical,” the committee found.
In his dissenting opinion Mr Sarasam stated that while there was evidence of wrong doing, the bishop had not had an opportunity to defend himself. He also stated that all of the frauds could not be blamed upon the bishop. “While the truth is in the open, we attempt to find facts groping in the dark,” he said.
As the executive committee met to hear the report, protesters picketed the building in support of Bishop Dorai. The bishop also obtained a court order barring any disciplinary action against him until after Christmas. A supporter of the bishop had filed suit in Erode claiming the suspension of Bishop Doria had deprived him of pastoral care, and asked the court to reinstate the bishop.
The CCC accused the synod of moral cowardice for not acting upon the findings of the investigatory committee. “The Moderator and his fellow bishops had no stomach for acting” on the report’s findings as this would lead to the question why were similar committees “not appointed to probe serious allegations, some resulting in criminal cases, against themselves.”
“No action, they decided, is the best action for the safety and security of their own positions,” the CCC charged.
