Aam Aadmi Party leader Vijay Nair, arrested in connection with alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy case, received Rs 100 crore in 'kickbacks' from the 'south group' controlled by some businessmen and politicians, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has informed a local court

As per the investigation carried so far, Vijay Nair, on behalf of leaders of AAP has at least received kickbacks to the tune of Rs 100 crore from a group, called south group (controlled by Sarath Reddy, Ms K Kavitha, Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy) by various persons including Amit Arora,' the ED said, adding Amit Arora 'disclosed' this during the recording of his statement.

The agency also said that at least 36 accused, including Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and a PA of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, 'destroyed or used' 170 phones in order to conceal evidence of 'kickbacks' worth thousand of crores of rupees in the alleged scam

This policy, though on the face of it, has promising and laudable objectives of stopping cartelisation and encouraging fair trade practices, in reality it promoted cartel formations through back door, awarded exorbitant wholesale (12 per cent) and huge retail (185 per cent) profit margins and incentivised other illegal activities on account of criminal conspiracy of leaders of AAP (Aam Aadmi Party),' it alleged.

The federal probe agency also claimed that the Delhi government 'lost revenue of 12 per cent or Rs 581 crore...only to fill the personal coffers of leaders of the AAP and overall the total loss of revenue due to alleged irregularities in the policy stood at Rs 2,873 crore (including loss of licence fee)'.

The 'magnitude' of the destruction is such that most suspects, liquor barons, senior government officials, the excise minister of Delhi (Sisodia) and other suspects have changed their phones multiple times, it said, adding the cost of the phones involved in these instances is about Rs 1.38 crore.

Fortunately, it told the court, the ED has been able to recover 17 out of 170 phones, otherwise the kickbacks would have been much more and involvement of other important persons would have surfaced more clearly.

People keep sending me the chart of India's poor position on the V-DEM "Academic Freedom" index. They seem to be waiting for a witty response. So here it is: you, too, can apply to become a V-DEM expert panelist. Just click the link below, and good luck!

Cyrano wrote:May be we should do that for now.

These indices and rankings are made for (not so soft) power projection. Do we need to do that? Do we care to do that?

If yes, then the best response would be to create our own index or multiple indices. That's what our academics should be doing, not queue up for a bit role in someone else's party.

LUTYENS DELHI IS A PERMANENT CARBUNCLE on the soul of everything that’s decent and pure. It's that poisoned lake of elixir in a political jungle from which the wolf and the deer drink without fear because both know that their respective clothing can be reversed suddenly. And for the better part of the last three decades, NDTV was one of the prized distributors of this elixir.

Now it looks as if their free run of impunity has finally come to an end.

How many media houses can boast of a news channel launch in the official residence of the Prime Minister?

How many news channels can use the Rashtrapati Bhavan and treat it like a luxury resort to celebrate their twenty-fifth anniversary?

How many media houses can send their “journalist” who has access to sensitive military installations in the border and report it live during wartime? And repeat the feat during the 26/11 Pakistan-sponsored proxy war on Indian soil? And get away with it? And get Padma awards?

How many media houses get to fix ministerial births in the Central Government?

How many media houses can do all this for so long and remain unpunished even as I write this?

And after bleeding the nation and infecting the public on this gigantic scale, how many media houses can still have the conscience-free gall to claim that they actually stand for press freedom?

Both Prannoy and his wife, Radhika Roy lord over a grand business empire built on a criminal edifice. But Radhika’s blood sister Brinda is married to Prakash Karat, an avowed communist to whom money is anathema, who ostensibly fights for the destitute and the downtrodden. Not to mention the complex web of NDTV’s majority of staffers who have deep and labyrinthine links with UPA ministers and high-ranking bureaucrats and army personnel. This is a clear explanation of how Barkha Dutt was able to obtain such frightening levels of access to our national security apparatus. Then the familiar story of how NDTV acted as a hired mercenary to finish off Narendra Modi’s political career is too well-known now to repeat it. Let’s not forget that the vile channel is still at it sans direct political patronage.

Narendra Modi has hit out at Vladimir Putin with a call to end the war in Ukraine and stop weaponising food supplies, as India takes over the G20 presidency for the year.

Writing for The Telegraph, the Indian prime minister warned that geopolitical struggles could “lead to humanitarian crises”.

In a thinly veiled swipe at the Russian president, he said: “Our era need not be one of war. Indeed, it must not be one!”

The comments echoed Mr Modi’s previous criticism of Mr Putin. On the sidelines of a summit in Uzbekistan in September, he told the Russian leader that now was “not a time for war”.

India has abstained from condemning Moscow’s actions in Ukraine at the United Nations as the government balances its ties with Russia and the West.

But the country has shifted its stance slightly as the war intensifies and energy and food shortages pose greater global threats.

In an op-ed on Thursday, Mr Modi said the world’s greatest challenges “can be solved not by fighting each other, but only by acting together”.

Mr Modi did not reference Mr Putin directly, but said the world remained “trapped in the same zero-sum mindset”.

The Indian prime minister said he would use the G20 presidency to seek to “depoliticise the global supply of food, fertilisers and medical products” to avert humanitarian catastrophes.

'Vaccine hoarding'
In what appeared to be an attack on the West, Mr Modi also hit out at the hoarding of vaccines “even as billions remain vulnerable”.

The south Asian country led demands for an intellectual property rights waiver for Covid-19 vaccines during the pandemic and accused European nations of preventing poor countries from accessing the jabs.
