Two-G (2G) Spectrum Scam Tapes and follow-up

One silver lining in the 2G spectrum scam is that everything is not lost. Still there are honest officers in the system. Under SC observation they are really doing honest job of their career. Given right political patronage, career and life protection the nexus of NBJ can be broken. All we need is powerful Lokpal bill, alas independent prosecution system in Hong Kong to clean up the system. Kudos to honorable CJI Kapadai saab at least in one case we are seeing corrupt politician behind the bars.

From Pioneer on the Enforcement Directorate raids

ED finds pot of gold at end of 2G spectrum
March 16, 2011 8:31:48 PM

Abraham Thomas | New Delhi

Key players in the 2G racket may have violated Acts others than the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and the Foreign Exchange Management Act and the Supreme Court is likely to expand the investigation ambit.

The court on Tuesday went through the report of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which traced the foreign money trail and hawala transactions of the beneficiaries.

With the sealed CBI report expected to be opened in court on Wednesday, a Bench of Justices GS Singhvi and AK Ganguly noted of the money trail, “From the ED report, it is clear that the network is close and the connections are not within the country but across many countries.”

{Could explain why the Batch suicided?}

Reading out portions from the report, ED counsel senior advocate KK Venugopal said, “Large amounts were transferred through Mauritius by sale of equity in licences by the beneficiary companies.”

What was most shocking, Venugopal added, was, “In a matter of five days, money received was converted into loan and sent back to India. These funds were received in from the Mauritius-based companies.” The amount involved in these transactions was at times as huge as `1,454 crore, ED sources said.

Investigation details have been collected based on the letter rogatory (LR) sent by ED to countries such as Mauritius, Cyprus, the Isle of Man, British Virginia Islands and Singapore. Besides, the process is on to obtain information under LR from two more countries.

The investigating agency, on a previous date, had submitted evidence to link former Telecom Minister A Raja to kickbacks in the 2G scam, which he received through accounts opened in the name of family members. These sums were received through front companies of Raja.

Finding these aspects startling, the Bench stated, “Prima facie, there are violations of several laws of the land.” As of now, the ED has limited scope of investigation under PMLA and FEMA laws. The apex court Bench would await the result of CBI probe too before it may consider slapping harsher provisions against the accused individuals and companies.

ED submitted that 31 summons were issued to companies and individuals — including hawala operators Gaurav Jain, Mahesh Jain and Rajesh Jain, among others. Sleuths believe money was channeled to India through the hawala route.

Besides, ED also questioned officials of GenEx and Kovai Shelters, believed to be the recipients of the ill-gotten money. Even former Trai chairman Pradeep Baijal and corporate lobbyist Nira Radia’s sister Karuna Menon were called in for questioning.

Looking at the magnitude of the probe, the Supreme Court was keen to consider whether a team of four officials was sufficient. As an alternative, advocate for petitioner NGO Centre for Public Interest Litigation, Prashant Bhushan, suggested having retired or serving persons with unimpeachable integrity supervise the probe for the court’s assistance.

Concerns were raised by Bhushan on a report that appeared in a magazine, alleging that the Ministry of Finance was trying to suppress investigation against certain persons. While Venugopal demanded contempt notice against the magazine for publishing lies, the court put a lid on the controversy by ignoring the report and dismissing it with the “contempt it deserves”.

On the other hand, the voices by Swamy, CPI and co. to verify Sadiq's death as a suicide/induced suicide/murder, by the CBI, is just going to prolong the investigation which is all DMK needs at this point. Hopefully CBI shouldn't fall into this trap.

He tries to blame everything on MMS. Whoever or whatever it is, I want the 3Gs to be exposed and finished off. Whether it is Chidu or MMS or Pranab or some bureaucrats in the central Govt., I don't really care. I want the truth about this DIE-nasty out.

If Batcha was only a conveyancer of corruption mony he could have fended the problems but once hawala and possible DI gang links are coming in its curtains for him.

INC has to do a reality check. Since JLN days (Mundhra, Jeep scandal, Dharma Teja: Jayanti Shipping Corp. scam, Mrs. G's SBI scandal, Bofors) they have been a corrupt looting the Treasury organization.
However their greed and venality have now increased so much that they are now getting into foreign diplomats (wiki pees) and intelligence and terrorists organization cross-hairs. Need to think is that what they came to power for?

Exactly my thoughts. CBI is a joke due to its vulnerabilities to political influence. My guess is that part of CBI is in cohorts with the 2G group. How can CBI give protection to Batcha from itself???

The low-level culprits are vulnerable to become approvers as their share is too low and preserve some consciousness.

Two related news items.

BJP moving with caution on raising Vadra issue

Differences were evident at a meeting of BJP leaders in Parliament on Wednesday with some leaders advocating caution while some others felt Congress could be asked some questions on Vadra's activities. Leader of Opposition in the Lok Saba Sushma Swaraj felt it would not be good form to target family members of political rivals.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/indi ... 723567.cms

Sushma faces graft fire in House

“The emperor of illegal mining” who is a minister in Karnataka filed income tax returns for Rs 1 lakh in 2001, Rs 2 lakh in 2003 and Rs 3,000 crore last year thanks to unbridled loot of national resources and extortion, Congress MP Sanjay Nirupam said, not taking any names.

The minister had set up fake firms in Dubai, Singapore and several tax havens for money laundering, had nine non-bailable warrants pending against him and had not appeared in court despite 10 summons, Nirupam continued.

“This minister says his entry into politics is accidental, because he came in contact with Sushma Swaraj. He has openly declared his goal was to make Swaraj the Prime Minister. He has said his loot will continue till Sushma became PM,” the Congress MP said.

Satish Sharma aide showed U.S. Embassy employee cash to be used as ‘pay-offs' in confidence vote

NEW DELHI: Five days before the Manmohan Singh government faced a crucial vote of confidence on the Indo-U.S. nuclear deal in 2008, a political aide to Congress leader Satish Sharma showed a U.S. Embassy employee “two chests containing cash” he said was part of a bigger fund of Rs. 50 crore to Rs. 60 crore that the party had assembled to purchase the support of MPs.

“He always feared for his life, and would be under immense pressure during interrogation,” said a top CBI officer. Batcha was reported to have fallen out with Raja some months ago, but had apparently patched up after the probe gathered momentum.

http://www.hindu.com/2011/03/17/stories ... 500100.htm

“Sharma's political aide Nachiketa Kapur mentioned to an Embassy staff member in an aside on July 16 that Ajit Singh's RLD had been paid Rupees 10 crore (about $2.5 million) for each of their four MPs to support the government. Kapur mentioned that money was not an issue at all, but the crucial thing was to ensure that those who took the money would vote for the government.”

Independently, Mr. Sharma told the Political Counselor “that PM Singh and others were trying to work on the Akali Dal (8 votes) through financier Sant Chatwal and others, but unfortunately it did not work out.” He said “the Prime Minister, Sonia Gandhi, and Rahul Gandhi were committed to the nuclear initiative and had conveyed this message clearly to the party.” Efforts were also on to try and get the Shiv Sena to abstain. Further, “Sharma mentioned that he was also exploring the possibility of trying to get former Prime Minister Vajpayee's son-in-law Ranjan Bhattacharya to speak to BJP representatives to try to divide the BJP ranks.”

“Another Congress Party insider told PolCouns that Minister of Commerce and Industry Kamal Nath is also helping to spread largesse. ‘Formerly he could only offer small planes as bribes,'” according to this interlocutor, ‘now he can pay for votes with jets.'”

The fact that Congress politicians could speak so freely to American diplomats about their bribing spree during the run up to the confidence vote — and that the latter could be so blasé about the subversion of democracy — underlines the all-encompassing but ultimately corrosive nature of the “strategic partnership” the two governments were trying to build.

^^^ what was also funny was that the suicide note had something to the effect of "raja and his wife are good people" hard to imagine someone about to die giving recommendation certificates to others. Poor batcha was unnecessarily suicided i feel sorry for his wife and children, it would have been nice if he would have got a 18 year sentence and chakki peesing/stone breaking for 18 years. This episode is so similar to that showed in movies. After the suicide of pf scam accused, family of whistleblower in palakkad or batcha there is some great system that can do this and get away with it.

Citizens of Mumbai Unite Against Corruption

http://www.theweekendleader.com/page.ph ... ion&id=388

Azad Maidan in Mumbai, a historic venue in the freedom movement against the British rule, witnessed the birth of a new movement on Martyr’s Day as socially conscious citizens of the bustling metropolis came together to sound the battle cry against rampant corruption in independent India.

The rally, which marked the birth of a mass citizen’s movement against corruption, was attended by hundreds of citizens, RTI activists, retired police officer Julio Ribeiro, IPS officer turned anti-corruption activist, Y P Singh, representatives from Baba Ramdev’s Bharat Swabhiman Party and Sri Sri Ravishankar’s Art of Living Foundation.

Calling the bluff: Speakers at the India Against Corruption rally urged the Centre to consider the citizen drafted Jan Lokpal Bill instead of the one proposed by it, which they said had loopholes to help the corrupt get away
Praful Vora, convenor of Jagrut Nagrik Manch Movement had announced that people from all walks of life would gather to protest against corruption and the crowd turned up with placards and banners condemning corrupt politicians and demanding severe punishment for those guilty of pilfering the nation’s wealth. G R Vora, an RTI activist, said that such protests against corruption took place in thirty more cities in the country.

‘India Against Corruption’, which aims to enable citizen groups to fight against corruption at all levels of government, demands a strong law against corruption, recovery of black money, and quick prosecution of those found guilty in corruption cases.

Speakers at the event highlighted the need for vesting enough power with the Lokpal and Lokayukta to investigate, prosecute, punish, recover ill gotten gains and make the system transparent.

Julio Ribeiro spoke about the need to empower the Lokyukta in Maharashtra and insisted that a meaningful Lokpal Bill should be brought in Parliament. He also spoke about the need for police and judicial reforms. He said that if the Central Vigilance Commission and Lokayukta were given direct powers to prosecute, it will bring down political interference and reduce corruption.

Y P Singh, the IPS officer turned advocate who has been fighting cases against corruption questioned how the names of former Chief Ministers (Sushil Kumar Shinde and Vilasrao Deshmukh) were not even mentioned in the FIR relating to the Adarsh scam case.

The members of Jagrut Nagrik Manch said that the Lokpal Bill drafted by the centre had loopholes that would enable the corrupt get away and wanted it to be replaced by a Jan Lokpal Bill, drafted by prominent citizens like retired police officer Kiran Bedi, advocate Prashant Bhushan, former Supreme Court judge Santosh Hegde, Arvind Kejriwal (Magsaysay award winner) and J M Lyngdoh (ex chief Election Commissioner).

Banners bearing slogans demanding severe punishment to corrupt politicians and the symbolic tearing and burning of the first page of Lokpal Bill were some other highlights of the event that seemingly marked the beginning to a nation-wide movement aimed at liberating the country from corruption and corrupt politicians.

Defence minister AK Antony, HRD minister Kapil Sibal, law minister M Veerappa Moily and minister of state for personnel V Narayanswami will be the members of this committee, sources said.

The PM had met Hazare and his colleagues earlier this month and had agreed to bring the legislation during the monsoon session of the parliament.

Though the activists have rejected the latest draft of the Lokpal bill, terming it a cosmetic legislation, the government is hopeful of reaching a consensus.

The panel, which has received information from 50 of the 64 Central ministries and departments on the discretionary powers of ministers, has decided to convert their powers into "bonafide duties" of ministers.

It will lay down guidelines on how the ministers will use these powers, which is their discretion for the distribution of sops to individuals and organisations.

O my god! A New Scam!

Congress bribed MPs for Vote in favour of Nuke Deal

a full leak here

http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/full- ... ersy-92301

***

Report in HT

The WikiLeaks India cables, accessed by The Hindu, claimed that Manmohan Singh-led UPA government used cash to win trust vote in Parliament in 2008 over Indo-US nuclear deal. WikiLeaks said that five days before UPA-I faced a crucial vote of confidence in Lok Sabha, Congress leader Satish Sharma's aide Nachiketa Kapur showed a US employee two chests containing money to be used to bribe MPs.

According to a report in The Hindu, the aide said that he was part of a bigger fund of Rs 50 to 60 crore that the Congress had assembled to purchase the support of MPs for the nuclear deal.

Kapur also claimed that four MPs belonging to Ajit Singh's Rashtriya Lok Dal had already been paid Rs 10 crore each, to ensure they voted the right way in the Lok Sabha.

The WikiLeaks cable accessed by The Hindu was sent to the US State Department on July 17, 2008. In the cable, US Charge d'Affaires Steven White described Satish Sharma as "a close associate of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi considered to be a very close family friend of Sonia Gandhi."

Satish Sharma, while interacting with a US diplomat reportedly told him that he and the others in the party were working hard to ensure the UPA government won the vote of confidence on July 22, the report said.

The report said that the cable makes it clear the Congress campaign to buy votes was not confined to the cash-filled war chests that Nachiketa Kapur and Satish Sharma had gathered.

Nothing of this sort will happen, the article it says investigation went aground, there was no investigation, just a JPC with Majority UPA members (bascially judging themselves) exnorating themselves with BJP and CPI(M) members disagreeing with disent notes.

In fact, CNN-IBN did a good job destroying crucial evidence( dumb BJP thought they could trust them to record). The Media infact at that time only criticized BJP memebers for Breaching parliment security by Bringing Money in Parliment.

All these stories after the horse has bolted, post 2012 when the 2014 elections are near enough all these stories will get swept under the carpet, the Ram Sene Thugs and Media will set up anther bashing of Women in Pubs, a few stones will be hurled at Churches and Mosques, Islam Catre mein hein will be read aloud, Anther Rizawanur Type case will be brought up, Gadkari son's marraiage expenses will be discussed while ignoring all other marraiges etc....
