Nation mourns the rape victim: Time for us to wake up

She survived for 12 days an attack on her life . Attack on her made the whole country united in praying that she survives. She was sent to Singapore for better treatment , but even the best medical attention given in Singapore hospital could not save her.

India is shocked. The news has come at a time when the whole country is sleeping,but when people wake up in the morning , they will get this horrifying news .

The questions will remain whether it would have been better if she was treated at Safdarjang hospital or not, or why was she sent to Singapore.

But she is gone.  She is no more. Time has come now for us to wake up and act to stop violence against women .

Several demonstrations at India gate in Delhi and all  over country showed that the whole country was up in arms against the culprits and such crime in general.

Among several suggestions made by many social ,political figures, I think the suggestion made by Janata Party President Dr.Subramanian  Swamy is most significant. He has demanded that the rape should be declared an act of terrorism and the guilty should be treated like a terrorist.

Janata Party appeals to people not to  indulge in  New Year celebrations . In this time of mourning celebrations should stop as a mark of respect  to the departed soul.

Declare Rape as an act of terrorism : Dr.Swamy


  Statement of Dr.Subramanian Swamy   made on December 28, 2012
      I demand that the Prime Minister to immediately issue an Ordinance to make the offence of rape as one of terrorism.

     Gone are the days when rape was an offence committed occasionally, by an individual against a woman in a fit of passion. Today rape has become an epidemic, committed by a gang, accompanied by a depraved and beastly brutalization of the victim, as in the recent gang- rape in a bus.


      Such incidents have terrorized women, and traumatized parents. Hence it is tantamount to terrorism as per UN definition by which "terrorism is the act by violence to overawe innocent civilians to do or not to do something against their will.

       Therefore without delay the Prime Minister must get an Ordinance issued to make rape a terrorism offence with either death or Bobbit cut as sentence.

जनता पार्टी अध्यक्ष ने सुश्री जयललिता का समर्थन किया


जनता पार्टी अद्यक्ष डा. सुब्रमण्यम स्वामी ने राष्ट्रीय विकास परिषद की बैठक से  बाहर आकर अपना विरोध व्यक्त करने पर तमिल नाडु की मुख्य मंत्री सुश्री जे. जयललिता का समर्थन किया है और कहा है कि यदि गैर कांग्रेसी मुख्यम्नत्रियों को देने के लिये समय नहीं है तो  रा वि प  को भंग कर देना चाहिये.

डा. स्वामी ने कहा कि मात्र दस मिनट के समय में अपनी बात रखना सम्भव नहीं है और भाषण के  बीच बार बार घंटी बजाकर टोकना  असभ्य व अक्षम्य है.  इस से लगता है कि यह महत्वपूर्ण बैठक न होकर किसी स्कूल की वाद-विवाद प्रतियोगिता हो. इससे मुख्यमंत्री का अपमान हुआ है, जो लोकतंत्र के लिये सही नहीं है. 

डा. स्वामी ने कहा कि प्रत्येक वक्ता को पूरा समय दिया जाना चाहिये था. यदि समय कम था तो बैठक अगले दिन भी चलायी जा सकती थी.  


Dr. Swamy supports Jayalalitha's walk-out from NDC


    Janata Party president Dr. Subramanian Swamy has backed the action taken by Tamil Nady CM Ms J. Jayalalitha  in walking out of the NDC meeting in New Delhi  this morning. 
He said in a statement that  TN CM Ms. Jayalalitha is perfectly justified in walking out of the NDC meeting.

Questioning the time allotted to the CMs to speak Dr Swamy asked " How can a CM present the state's perspective in just 10 minutes ?"

He said  " If not enough time was there the meeting could have continued the next day. But to humiliate a CM by ring of a bell as if some school debate was being conducted shows the depths to which UPA has sunk"
.

       In any case the NDC has become irrelevant and out of date because of economic liberalization Soviet type planning has become a formality and of no consequence. Hence NDC should be abolished and Planning Commission wound up.

Dharna in Lucknow

Janata Party Lucknow unit organised a symbolic protest against the FDI in retail at Gandhi Stsatue Near GPO ,Lucknow.Those participated included  Shri RA Sankhdhar, Rk Dube, Ashutosh Srivastava among others.


 

Dr Swamy congratulates Narendra Modi



    This third time victory of Narendra Modi led BJP in Gujarat despite all machinations of the Congress particular Ms. Sonia Gandhi and her son, in which the BJP has won almost the same number of seats as in 2007 is a matter of pride for Modi and all patriotic Indians. As for Himachal Pradesh, the outgoing CM Dhumal has already said that the bad choices of candidates was responsible for the relatively worse performance. This means that Congress has nothing to gloat about the party's victory in that small state. They got it by default. In any case Veer Bhadra Singh is not household poodle of Ms. Sonia Gandhi and her son.

Large states such as Bihar, UP and Gujarat having now in just one year rejected the mother- son duo, and given the Congress a triple drubbing at the hustings. It is time therefore for Congress persons to rise in revolt and find a new leadership so that a healthy two party system may develop in the country without foreign and corrupt influence.

UPA Cash Subsidy Transfer Scheme- V. SUNDARAM I.A.S



 


( This article is written by Mr V Sundaram, Retd IAS, ALL INDIA GENERAL SECRETARY (IDEOLOGY), JANATA PARTY)



Sonia Gandhi Rahul Gandhi
No relations of Mahatma Gandhi!

Rahul Gandhi has the stupid temerity and timorous stupidity to declare that his only Guru in the world of politics is Mahatma Gandhi. This unsurpassed brilliant political genius made this “historic announcement” in an election speech in Gujarat recently. After making this silly declaration, this ever-shifting and ever-shuffling bipolar boisterous “Youth Icon” (so avowed openly with aplomb by both Dr Manmohan Singh and Shri Digvijay Singh) has made another great declaration two days ago at a meeting of 51 DCC Presidents in New Delhi. At this meeting, Rahul Gandhi in his capacity as Sonia Congress General Secretary has announced that the Cash Transfer Scheme of the UPA Government to the Aam Admi would ensure this spectacular victory of his Sonia Congress Party in the next two Lok Sabha General elections to be held in 2014 and 2019!

Having played his own murky and none too honourable political role behind the curtains in all the Sonia scams like the Commonwealth Games Scam, 2G Spectrum Scam, Coalgate Scam, Young Indian Scam etc., Rahul Gandhi has now come out into the open and declared unabashedly and shamelessly that he will purchase the voters with cash from the Treasury in the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections by adroitly using the CASH SUBSIDY TRANSFER SCHEME.


If only such a statement had been made by Shri Narendra Modi, Chief Minister of Gujarat or any other non-Congress Chief Minister, the Election Commission of India (ECI) would have swung into action with great alacrity and expedition. The ECI would have disqualified them from contesting in any Parliamentary / Assembly elections for the next 60 years or till the life time of Sonia Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi or the Election Commissioners, WHICHEVER IS LATER!

In order to smoothen the way for the effective procurement of voters in the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections, Sonia Gandhi, drawing her inspiration from her Mother-in-Law, the dictatorial Indira Gandhi, may perhaps take action on a war footing (including the possible declaration of a National Emergency as was done in 1976) to suitably amend the Representation of People Act and the concerned Articles of the Constitution relating to Lok Sabha / State Assembly Elections making purchase of votes through cash a trivial Civil Offence whose adjudication can be dragged indefinitely in all our Courts of Law at all levels.

On the face of it the Cash Subsidy Transfer Scheme is a Mohammad bin Tughlaq type scheme of Sonia Gandhi and P. Chidambaram.

Sonia Gandh, Rahul Gandhi and all the senior leaders of the Sonia Congress party are seized by a fit of nightmare thinking about the impending 2014 electoral debacle. Their fear neurosis has been deepened and accentuated by the following factors:-

A. NEVER ENDING CONVEYOR BELT OF SONIA SCAMS resulting in total extinction of public esteem and public credibility. The people of India now view the Sonia Congress Party as a Party of criminal gangsters, by criminal gangsters, for criminal gangsters.

B. This widespread loss of NATIONAL PUBLIC FAITH has been articulated by some of the top industrialists in the country, like Shri Ratan Tata. I fully endorse his view regarding the disgraceful fall in the public image of India in the comity of nations.

C. The meteoric rise of SHRI NARENDRA MODI as a national leader capturing the imagination of the youth and the women folk of this country. Crores and crores of people in India are praying for the DAY when Shri Narendra Modithe would assume charge as the Prime Minister of India.

D. Internationally Shri Narendra Modi has been hailed as the ‘King of Development’ by a U.S Thinktank. The mercenary and corrupt anti-national emissaries of Sonia Gandhi and Italian Mafia have not been able to prevent this kind of International Perception despite their power arising from widely known unaccounted reserves of black money wealth stashed abroad.

E. Many of the supremely servile, corrupt, slavish, senior Congress leaders themselves are talking openly behind the scenes throughout the country today about the electoral disaster of Rahul Gandhi being an unavoidable lethal liability for the Congress Party.

Having won his resplendent victories in the endless creation of Black Money Wealth in India and abroad for all the Congress leaders and their families through his treacherous Participatory Notes Scheme, Chidambaram is now under the smug cosmic delusion that he can win 500 Lok Sabha seats in the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections, driving Dr Manmohan Singh into an ineluctable oblivion with the Cash Subsidy Transfer Scheme.

When I look at the definitely corrupt and openly criminal Political Record of UPA Government under the BONELESS WONDER of a Prime Minister seeking hourly instructions for Corrupt Policies / Actions / Deeds from the MINDLESS WONDER of a Chairman of UPA Co-ordination Committee, I cannot help recalling the following incandescent words of Hon’ble Justice Brandeis uttered in a landmark judgement in USA in 1928. (United States 277 US. 438, 485): “Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, the teachers the whole people by its example….. If the Government becomes a LAWBREAKER, it breeds contempt for LAW; it invites everyman to become a LAW unto himself; it invites ANARCHY”

With the Holy Christmas around the corner, let me conclude my story by resorting to a Biblical Phraseology;

At the Beginning was LAWLESSNESS and ANARCHY
Lawlessness and Anarchy were with Sonia Maino
And Sonia Maino is NOTHING but LAWLESSNESS and ANARCHY.

POST SCRIPT

In most of the PAWN BROKER’S SHOPs, any one can see that there would be a Wall Hanging in the front with these words in the following order:
“SHUBH LABH
WE TRUST IN GOD
AND FOR THE REST OUR TERMS ARE CASH”.

Crown Prince in Waiting Rahul Gandhi by openly announcing with supreme self confidence his Grand Plan of PROCUREMENT OF VOTES in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha Polls through CASH and nothing but CASH, has made it clear that in every ELECTION BOOTH of Sonia Congress Party in the Lok Sabha Polls in 2014, there will be wall hanging with the following words:

“SHUBH SONIA CONGRESS LABH
WE DON’T TRUST ANY GOD
OUR FAITH IS IN OUR INVINCIBLE
CASH FOR VOTES SCHEME
AMEN”

ओछी हरकतों पर उतरे कांग्रेस समर्थक ?

जनता पार्टी अध्यक्ष डा. सुब्रमण्यम स्वामी ने कांग्रेसी सरकार व इनके नेताओं के भ्रष्टाचार उजागर कर करके इन सबकी नींद उड़ा रखी है. भारतीय लोकतंत्र के इतिहास में भ्रष्टाचार के नित नये काम करके झंडे गाड़ने में तो कांग्रेसी अव्वल रहे हैं परंतु अब इनके हाथों के तोते उड़ते दिख रहे हैं.
इन्हे कुछ सूझ ही  नहीं पा रहा.

पहले तो तो गुलाम मीडिया का सहारा ले ले कर खबरें दबाने का खूब कुप्रयास किया. फिर तीन बार डा. स्वामी के ऊपर हमला करने की  नाकाम कोशिश की. फिर अदालत में ले जाकर मानहानि का केस दायर करने की बन्दर घुड़की भी जब काम न आई तो अब ये लोग ओछी हरकतों पर उतर आये हैं.



डा.स्वामी  व उनके कार्यालय के फोन नम्बरों व  ई-=मेल का सहारा लेकर आगरा के दो हिन्दी दैनिक अखबारों- जागरण तथा अमर उजाला में नौकरी के फर्ज़ी विज्ञापन दे दिये ताकि डा. स्वामी व  उनका पूरा कार्यालय दिन रात आने वाले फोन कालों से ही घिरा रहे . यदि वे अपने फोन बन्द कर दें तो अपने समर्थकों की  दुनिया से कट जायें.

मंगल वार 27 नवम्बर को जब ये विज्ञापन  प्रकाशित हुए तो जैसा कि साजिश थी, डा. स्वामी के पास फोन  का तांता लग गया और उन्हे  परेशान होना पड़ा.

बाद में ज़ॅब जानकारी एकत्र की गयी तो पता लगा कि ये फर्ज़ी विज्ञापन "झा पब्लिसिटी सर्विस,कमला नगर , आगरा " के माध्यम से आये थे, जब इन दोनों समाचार पत्रों को कानूनी नोटिस भेजा गया तो उन्हे भी खेद व्यक्त करना पड़ा.

देखना यह है कि अब इन कांग्रेसी जनखानुमा नेताओं के पास क्या नया हथकंडा है?



इन्हे असली जवाब तो जनता की अदालत में देना होगा . इन्हे अब अहसास हो गया कि इनका पत्ता कटने वाला हैं .तभी तो ये लोग नीच हर्कतों पर उतर आये हैं.

BABRI MASJID DEMOLITION AND NATION BUILDING.


BABRI MASJID DEMOLITION AND NATION BUILDING.
                                   Subramanian Swamy

On December 6, 1992, a super structure called the Babri Masjid standing in the city of Ayodhya, came crashing down. It remains even today a traumatic event for the nation, because modern Indians have not yet been weaned on a true history of India, and hence a large section of our educated class still view the destruction of the structure as criminal vandalism.
If it was not, then what was it? It was a superstructure built on an existing temple, and to have demolished the temple to build a mosque was the real act of vandalism.
Two years earlier before the demolition, by a coincidence, on the same month and day, I had met representatives of the VHP and BJP at a house, next door to mine, on Mathura Road. The newly sworn in Prime Minister Mr. Chandrashekhar had asked me [I was then his newly sworn in senior most Cabinet Minister] that as the new Union Law& Justice Minister, I should talk to them about withdrawing their proposed massive nation-wide stir slated to begin on December 9, 1991 for building a Ram temple at the site the super-structure had then stood in its gloomy glory. He told me to assure the VHP that our government would get removed the Babri Masjid with the consent of Muslim leaders through discussions.
The VHP and BJP leaders I met readily agreed to call off the stir since we were a new government, while the stir decision was taken when V.P. Singh was PM.
Thereafter in January 1991 talks began initiated by Chandrashekhar himself with the Muslim leaders. Unfortunately, despite the zig-zag progress in the talks, our government did not last long enough to fructify it.
Had instead the government lasted for a year more, I am confident we would have amicably liberated the Ranjanmabhoomi for building a befitting Ram temple, and with the consent of the Muslim community, even though the Government was in the minority in the Parliament.
From my personal experience as a Minister in a minority government, I can therefore say that lack of majority is no excuse for implementing any agenda, if the leadership had the mindset to get things done.
As a Minister of Law &Justice, for instance, I got the controversial Sessions Judge of Faizabad, K.M. Pandey a High Court judge, despite the fact that the previous V.P. Singh's “three-legged” government had issued orders on file that since Pandey had directed the locks on the so-called Babri Masjid  be removed in 1986, he should never be made a High Court judge.
Mulayam Singh was our Chief Minister of UP, but with firmness I however got his protests sufficiently moderated to his permit me to go ahead. He cooperated because he knew I would do it anyway-- make Pandey a judge of the High Court—and hence he acquiesced since he wanted other things done for him by me,.
The same clarity enabled the Chandrashekhar government to get Saifuddin Soz's kidnapped daughter freed without releasing any dreaded terrorists. There are methods for doing that—mostly based on retaliation. In each case it is the mindset of those elected to high office that matters, not the size of the parliamentary majority or lack of it.
 It was this mindset that enabled the Chandrashekhar government to nearly solve by an agreement the question of building of a Ram temple in Ayodhya. The government however fell before it could be clinched.
But could the Babri Masjid have been demolished in a more legally authorized way? Hindus should not be defensive in the face of an onslaught by the fashionable secularists about removing mosques built on where temples had once stood, because the Supreme Court has held in the Faruqui vs. Union of India case [(1994)6 SCC360], that a masjid is not an essential part of Islamic theology, and these can and have been be demolished for public good.
Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and even in British undivided India, masjids have demolished mosques to build roads. Saudi Arabia even demolished the Bilal Masjid in Mecca where Prophet Muhammed used to read namaz.
Masjid, like Churches are not religious places in the sense a temple is.  Masjids and Churches are places for worship, i.e., buildings which serve as facilitation centres for namaz and prayer. Namaz can be read anywhere even on a railway platform. In USA, VHP buys disused Churches and converts them into temples, and yet no Christian there objects.
But temples, once it is shown that prana prathista puja was performed to build it, is where God or deity resides, and belongs to God forever.  As Union Law&Justice Minister in 1991 I got our government legal team to prove this to the satisfaction of the House of Lords in Britain, to bring back a Nataraja statue taken from a disused Thanjavur temple. It was at Rajiv Gandhi’s request I took interest in the case!
Of course, because of this fact about masjids and churches, no one in a democracy can take law into his own hands to demolish these masjids and churches. Nor will the Hindu public wait forever.
But on the other hand, a Government can remove in a legal and orderly way the masjids in Ayodhya, Kashi, and Brindavan,  in fact in 300 other places, to rebuild the original temples under law. We can get Muslims cooperation in this. I am confident of this.
Babri Masjid was built as an affront to Hindus. Otherwise it could have been built anywhere else since namaz can be offered anywhere. Hindus have however prevailed because despite 800 years of Islamic and 200 years of Christian domination, Bharat today is still over 80% of Hindus in population, and a continuing Hindu civilization. Hence, now we must resolve to rectify what is essential to rectify and reclaim. For that restoration of three holy sites, in Ayodhya, Vrindavan, and Kashi. For these three, we patriotic politicians must resolve: Come our way or go the highway.
But it is easier said than done to expect that politicians would do or die for it. As our rudderless democracy has drifted, we are today in a "match-fixing mode" even in electoral contests. In Tamil Nadu, the DMK and AIADMK are bitter enemies, but in most crucial constituencies, a match-fixing arrangements for money have been worked out for decades between Sasikala of the AIADMK and Arcot Veerasamy of the DMK, who are alter egos of their respective top leaders, and determined to keep out the Hindutva forces from Tamil Nadu.
The same match-fixing disease has spread to other parties nation-wide. We have to cure it before it completely debilitates and destroys our democracy as it has done in Banana Republics of Latin American countries such as Colombia and Peru.
The reluctance today to confront and expose the anti-Hindu personages in Parliament, Academia and Media because of this disease of "match-fixing". It is said that such attacks would be “personal” and “counter productive”.
There is however nothing "personal" in such directed and organized attacks. Just as the world focused on Hitler or Mussolini, without thinking of it being personal, therefore we should identify and expose especially the person who today has emerged as the fountain head of the anti-Hindutva campaign today.
But we cannot prevail in this struggle, if we have in our midst those suffering from the "Arjuna virus" as-the late Swami Chinmayananda once pointed out, referring to Arjuna's initially declining to fight at Kurukshetra because he could recognize his duty in the hour of crisis. Babri Masjid legacy is that virus we still have to cure twenty years later.

भद्द पिटी अविश्वास प्रस्ताव की: ममता ने कराई छीछालेदर




संसद के शीतकालीन अधिवेशन के पहले दिन वही हुआ जिसका डर था. तमाम विपक्षी दलों से कोई सहयोग न मिलने के बावज़ूद अविश्वास प्रस्ताव लाने की ज़िद पकडे तृणमूल कांग्रेस ने लोकसभा में अविश्वास प्रस्ताव  पेश किया  और अपनी राजनीति की खुल्लम्खुल्ला छीछालेदर करवाई.

 

ममता बनर्जी को यह बखूबी पता था कि कोई उनकी पार्टी के अविश्वास प्रस्ताव का समर्थन नहीं करने वाला है. अविश्वास प्रस्ताव  लाने के लिये न्यूनतम 10 प्रतिशत सांसदों का समर्थन होना आवश्यक है. निर्धारित संख्या न होने पर प्रस्ताव खुद-ब-खुद गिर जायेगा. फिर भी मात्र 19 सदस्य होते हुए भी यह अविश्वास प्रस्ताव क्यों लाया गया ? इसका उत्तर और कोई तो खैर क्या देगा,ममता खुद भी नहीं दे सकती.



अब ममता बनर्जी  भाजपा तथा वामपंथी दलों को कोसने में लगीं हैं. प्रशन दाग रहीं है कि ग्यों इन दोनों मुख्य विपक्षी दलों ने उनकी पार्टी के अविश्वास प्रस्ताव का समर्थन नहीं किया? इस सादगी पर कौन न मर जाये ए खुदा !!!

 

क्या ममता इतनी भोली हैं कि उन्हे उम्मीद थी कि भाजपा व साम्यवादी दल उनका समर्थन करेंगे? उन्हे लगभग ऐसी ही उम्मीद उन सारे दलों – बीजे डी, अना द्रमुक, द्रमुक, समाजवादी पार्टी, बसपा  से भी थी ? वाकई अगर वह इस उम्मीद में जी रहीं थीं तो कहा जा सकता है कि वह इतने वर्ष राजनीति में रहने के बावज़ूद कुछ भी न सीख सकीं.

 

यह शीशे की तरह स्पष्ट था कि सपा (मुलायम सिंह), बसपा  (मायावती) व द्रमुक ऊपर से भले ही खुदरा किराना में विदेशी निवेश का विरोध करते दीखते हों, उनमें इतना माद्दा नहीं है कि वे इसका विरोध सदन में कर सकें. यदि संप्रग ( यूपीए) को छोड़कर पूरा विपक्ष भी अविश्वास प्रस्ताव की साथ खडा हो जाता तो भी ये तीन दल प्रस्ताव का समर्थन नहीं करते. अन्न द्रमुक ने तो विरोध जताया पर ममता के अविश्वास प्रस्ताव पर कभी भी अपने पत्ते नहीं खोले थे.  बच गये वामपंथी और राजग ( एन डी ए) .

 

जिस वामपंथी गठबन्धन को पराकित कर ममता सत्ता में आयीं है,वे ममता का समर्थन भला क्यों करेंगे ? क्या ममता की राजनीति  इतनी अपरिपक्व है कि सोच कर  बैठी थीं कि “ मरता ,क्या न करता” के चलते वामपंथी उनके खेमे में “ आ गिरेंगे” .

 

फिर भाजपा और राजग को लेते हैं . यह सत्य है कि राजग की निगाहें ममता पर लगी हैं  ( देखा जाये तो ममता के पास और कोई चारा भी नहीं है) . पर 19 सदस्यों वाली ममता को इतना अहंकार था कि बिना भाजपा की चिरौरी ,अनुनय –विनय  करे उन्होने भाजपा को मज़बूर समझ लिया. भाजपा/ राजग  को संख्या बल का पूरा सही आकलन था ,यही सोचकर उन्होने कभी  अविश्वास प्रस्ताव की बात दूर दूर तक नहीं सोची. मात्र नियम 184 के आगे यह सोच गया ही नहीं ,जो सही भी था.

 

तृणमूल कांग्रेस के 19 और (बोनस स्वरूप मिले ) बीजू जद के 3 मिलाकर 22 सदस्यों का समर्थन मिल पाया प्रस्ताव को.

 इसे गिरना ही था. इस प्रस्ताव का तो वही हश्र हुआ जो अपेक्षित था.

 

प्रस्ताव की तो  भद्द पिटनी थी सो पिटी.  हां ममता की राजनीति की खूब छीछालेदर हो गयी. राष्ट्रपति चुनाव में भी यही हुआ था .यह ममता की दूसरी भयंकर भूल थी. साबित हो गया  कि ममता ने कच्ची गोलियां ही खेली हैं

Swamy writes to President on citizenship issue of Rahul

Letter to President of India 9 11 12

November 9, 2012.

Mr. Pranab Mukherjee,
President of India,
Rashtrapati Bhavan,
New Delhi.

Dear Mr. President,

I am writing this letter by way of providing as yet not formally confirmed information and hence not as yet evidence.
Mr. Rahul Gandhi, MP was born at a time when his mother Ms. Sonia Gandhi was an Italian citizen. {She became an Indian citizen vide Section 5 of the Indian Citizenship Act in 1983}. 

According to Italian law at that time, any person born to an Italian citizen mother is deemed to be an Italian citizen unless a formal renunciation of Italian citizenship is made by the child upon becoming an adult. At the time of Mr. Rahul Gandhi’s birth, his mother had informed the Italian Embassy of the same which the Embassy then forwarded it to the Interior Ministry in Rome, Italy for recording in their Citizen’s Register.

Therefore, my information is that Mr. Gandhi’s name was entered under whatever name that was communicated by the Italian Embassy, in the Citizenship Register of Italy.

I have not been able to verify as yet whether upon becoming an adult, Mr. Gandhi formally renounced Italian citizenship or has continued as yet for some obscure reason, as a citizen of Italy.

Only a formal request from the Government of India can clarify this position. The former Prime Minister Mr. Narasimha Rao had in a casual conversation told me that he had been informed that Mr. Gandhi was still a citizen of Italy. But this is hearsay and not yet confirmed evidence.

In my view it will be fair and legally appropriate in your position as President of India and custodian of the Constitution that you make a formal request through our Government to the Government of Italy to provide a copy of the file relating not only to Mr. Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship but also of Ms. Sonia Gandhi and her daughter Priyanka so that this controversy regarding Ms Sonia Gandhi and her two children’s citizenship status in Italy, is set at rest. 


Yours sincerely,
( SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY )

SC issues notice to 2 firms on Subramanian Swamy's plea


The Supreme Court today issued notices to Chennai-based Advantage Strategic Consulting Private Ltd and its offshore sister concern on a plea of Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against them for filing a defamation suit in Singapore against him, reports PTI.

The apex Court today issued notices to Chennai-based Advantage Strategic Consulting Private Ltd and its offshore sister concern on a plea of Janata Party President  Dr. Subramanian Swamy seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against them for filing a defamation suit in Singapore against him.

JP Chief Dr Subramanian Swamy  had filed contempt plea against the companies, including Advantage Strategic Singapore, which had filed the defamation suit against Dr.  Swamy for allegedly defaming them in judicial proceedings related to 2G spectrum allocation scam case.


"We will issue notices to two companies to seek their responses... returnable within 12 weeks," a bench of justices G S Singhvi and K S Radhakrishnan said, moments after Swamy rose to advance his arguments on his contempt petition.

Dr. Swamy’s plea was that  the companies had intentionally filed suits in Singapore to harass him and to make him run around the world. This would actually prevent him from pursuing corruption cases against P Chidambaram and his son.

The Last Gasp of The National Herald


                         
                                      (by Subramanian Swamy )
          To begin with, and briefly: In 2011, Ms. Sonia Gandhi and her son, Mr. Rahul Gandhi, both MPs and hence public servants under the Prevention of Corruption Act,  had floated under Section 25 of the Companies Act, a company called Young Indian Private Ltd.

The Ma-Beta corrupt duo hold 76% of the total equity [38% shares each] in the company, while Motilal Vora, the Congress party Treasurer and Oscar Fernandez,  held the remaining 24%.  If any person or group holds more than 74% of a company’s  equity, then that  company can be virtually administered without caring for other shares holders. Thus, Young Indian is a Gandhi-Maino private enterprise that is to be directly administered by the duo.

   Now we come to the brazen corrupt plot of the duo to acquire another well endowed asset-wise. The Associated Journals Private Ltd. (AJPL), is that another company. AJPL is  the owner- publisher of National Herald, Navjivan, and Quami Awaz newspapers, that was set up by prominent Congress leaders in 1938. Jawarharlal Nehru became President of the company.

Because its object was to publish a newspaper APJL acquired  at concessional rates from central and state governments high value real estate properties in Delhi, Mumbai, Bhopal, Indore, Haryana, and several places in Uttar Pradesh, and some places like on the prime land in Delhi and Lucknow,  built massive offices on public donations for the publishing of its newspapers.

But like all Nehru-Gandhi-Maino proclaimed public “enterprises” , AJPL main mission of publishing newspapers, soon ended in failure . By 1970s all three newspapers were running in terrible losses, and failed to pay employees wages. Labour agitation forced the owners to close the operations in a lock-out. The shareholders list by then had got depleted by death, or alienation, or sale and thus AJPL came fully into the grip of the Nehru dynasty with family retainer Motilal Vora as chowkidar-President,

By 2008 or a little earlier, Rahul Gandhi was inducted as a shareholder in AJ Private Ltd. Rahul Gandhi failed to disclose this in his sworn affidavit filed as a candidate for Lok Sabha in 2009.

In his sworn Assets statement he has declared as ‘Nil’ his  shares in companies, when in fact he at least owned 3 lakh shares in AJPL, and controlling shares in Back- Ops company that he set up during the NDA tenure. Back Ops ownership was later handed over to sister Priyanka by a back dated letter in 2009, who then promptly wound up the company in 2011—maintaining the family tradition of failed enterprises. The assets acquired following Back-Ops liquidation went into Priyanka’s folder.

In 2010, “Operation AJPL acquisition” began by Young Indian and executed in four steps:

(i)           Step 1: Moribund AJPL obtains an unsecured zero interest loan of Rs. 90 plus crores from AICC in 2011 with no stated  purpose [but now the spin given by Congress spokesman Dwidedi is that the loan was for the emotional attachment of Congress party for National Herald]. Section 13A of the Income Tax Act read with Section 29 A to C of the Representation of the People Act prohibits any political party from giving loans to commercial or related enterprises.  Note: Motilal Vora is President of AJPL which received the loan, he is Treasurer of AICC which gave the loan, and he is also a share holder and Director in Young Indian, the prospective buyer of AJPL !

(ii)         Step 2: Young Indian enters the picture with a proposal made by Young Indian Director Motilal Vora to AJPL President Motilal Vora that he will speak to AICC Treasurer Motilal Vora to unburden AJPL of the loans due to AICC by a financial derivative of transfer of liability to Young Indian. Note: It helps that Sonia Gandhi is AICC President and Rahul Gandhi is AICC senior-most General Secretary .

(iii)       Step 3: AJPL acting by a mere Board Resolution dated 20.2.12 and not by a Shareholders Meeting, sells by transfer of shares to Young Indian for a mere Rs 50 lakhs.

Who cares that Young Indian is not a media company and which cannot buy a media company that has got land allotted by government and obtained bank loans on the condition that it is a media company producing newspapers?

(iv)       Before buying AJPL,  RG transfers 2,62,411 of his 3 lakh shares in AJPL to sister Priyanka. Robert Vadra is left out of the deal because Aruna Roy will see to it that Kejriwal will cut him to size, with Ahmed Patel ensuring 24x7 media publicity to scare the wits out of Mr. Vadra.

(v)         Step 4: The 7-storey Herald House now securely with Young Indian, the Mama-beta duo illegally open Herald House which is in prime area of New Delhi, for renting. A Passport Seva Kendra rents a large space of two floors, and Minister SM Krishna inaugurates the office. Huge six months rent is being collected by Young Indian from multinational companies who are soon start offices in Herald House. Acquisition process is now complete.

(vi)       Thus the deal was to grab the Rs. 1600 crore worth Herald House and other properties of the National Herald/Quami Awaz in Delhi, and another Rs. 3400 crores in different parts of UP, Maharasthra and M.P. for which Young Indian made a commitment to pay a mere Rs. 50 lakh to AICC for owning the Rs. 90 crore odd obtained from AICC as an unsecured zero interest loan and now written off by the AICC.

Now what illegalities have been committed?

1.   The deal is a sham, bogus, and a violation of several laws including Companies, Income-Tax Act, Indian Penal Code Sections 405-08, 420, 467, and 193; Election Law, and Government Residence Allotment Rules.

2.   The un-built on land in Mumbai, Indore, Bhopal, Punchkula, Lucknow etc., etc., have been illegally sold to builders of luxury sky scrapers, mall, and housing for Congress Ministers.This is violation of the land allotment orders and a criminal breach of trust.

3.   Young Indian filed statements with the RoC in March 2012 disclosing that the shareholders meetings were held in Sonia Gandhi’s Government allotted 10, Janpath . This is in violation of the law since the 10, Janpath, New Delhi is Government provided accommodation which cannot be used for commercial purposes and business.

4.   More than 80% of the persons mentioned in the 2011 shareholders list filed with the RoC are deceased, such prominent persons such as Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Sharda Prasad, GD Birla etc., as also some defunct Kolkata based companies. Hence the Board Meeting of AJPL handing over the company to Young Indian is violation of the Companies Act and is an offence as well as a fraud on the public.

I urge therefore an immediate SFIO/CBI probe into this dubious stinking deal between Young India and The Associated Journals, and from the Election Commission for the illegality of the AICC I giving a loan to a private company.

Mr. Rahul Gandhi also committed perjury when he told a lie in his 2009 nomination paper for Lok Sabha that he owned ‘NIL’ shares when he owned in fact over 3 lakh shares of AJPL in 2009.

The bottom line is that National Herald, for which great grand father Nehru pompously said:”I will sell Anand Bhavan but never National Herald”, has been strangulated to death by Rahul Gandhi and his mother. Young Indian objectives do not include bring out a newspaper. Rahul Gandhi himself told the PTI on October 9, 2012 after swallowing AJPL, that “We have no intention to start or revive a newspaper”. The last gasp of National Herald, Navjivan, and Quami Awaz has been heard. For just Rs 50 lakhs, Rs 5000 crores of property have been obtained.

Ironically, Herald House is built on a kabaristan in Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg to start a newspaper from Delhi. The Mama-son duo know the Biblical saying—from dust to dust.

More on AICC's payment to National Herald

Janata Party President Dr Subramanian Swamy charged ,in a media Conference ,last week that All India Congress Committee (AICC) paid Rs. 90 Crore to a company ,which is violation of ethics for a political party.

Dr Swamy would certainly  take the legal action against the Election Commission's decision to dismiss his plea to de-recognise Congress.

Media is however not silenced as the investigating journalists are coming out with more facts by the day.

The leading business daily Business standard published more details on the transaction from AICC to Young Indian . This is reproduced here:

Did Congress pay Rs 89.5 cr to Sonia and Rahul through Young Indian?
Mother and son own 76% of company which got Associated Journal's shares worth Rs 90 cr for Rs 50 lakh
N Sundaresha Subramanian & Kavita Chowdhury / New Delhi Nov 05, 2012, 00:37 IST ( BUSINESS Standard)

The All India Congress Committee (AICC) has, in effect, paid Rs 89.5 crore to Young Indian, a Section 25 company (meaning a not-for-profit one) controlled by party president Sonia Gandhi and her son, party general secretary Rahul Gandhi.
From the notes of accounts, it appears this sum has effectively given the mother-son duo control over real estate assets running into several hundred crores of rupees.
Sonia and Rahul own 38 per cent each in Young Indian; party seniors Motilal Vora and Oscar Fernandes own 12 per cent each.
FAMILY PARTY
  • Associated Journals is a limited company, having shareholders. Motilal Vora, treasurer of the All India Congress Committee, is chairman;
  • Firm is formally in the business of publishing newspapers;
  • AICC had loaned Rs 90 crore to Associated, without interest. When it did so isn’t clear;
  • Young Indian was established as Sec 25 firm on November 23, 2010. Motilal Vora is also a board member of Young Indian, holding 12%
  • Associated’s board approved assignment of loan given by AICC on December 12, less than a month after Young Indian was registered, and by shareholders on January 21, 2011, a month after board approval and two months after Young India was incorporated;
  • It appears the shareholders, at the same EGM (Jan 21, 2011) had approved allottment of 90.2 million shares at Rs 10/share;
  • Board of AJ allotted 90.2 million shares to Young Indian on Feb 26, 2011. Resolution dated Feb 26 shows shareholders approved transfer of loan, as also issue of shares by extinguishment of loan, on same day;
  • Notes to accounts of Young Indian states objective of Young Indian. This does not include publishing a newspaper. Also, it says AJ is in the process of altering its object to align with the objects of Young Indian;
  • Shares worth Rs 5 lakh issued by Young Indian in 2011-12;
  • AICC accepted compromise for loan at Rs 50 lakh against the Rs 90 crore given, an effective writeoff of Rs 89.5 crore, but it seems AICC was not lucky even to get Rs 50 lakh cash from Young Indian, as latter is shown as having capital of Rs 5 lakh and loans of Rs 1 crore. Was there some benefactor who gave loan of Rs 1 crore or did AICC give loan to Young Indian to help pay off its own loan?
The notes to accounts for the year ended March 31, 2012, filed by Young Indian auditor Pradeep Shah and signed by directors Suman Dubey and Motilal Vora this April, give some clues on the actual structure of the transaction. “In pursuit of its objects, the company has acquired loan owed of Rs 90,21,68,980 by the Associated Journals, presently engaged in achieving a recast of its activities so as to have its main object congruent to the main object of the company, for a consideration of Rs 50 lakh,” the note said.
Thus, this transaction effectively has the effect of cleaning up the books of The Associated Journals (publishers of the now defunct National Herald daily, founded by Jawaharlal Nehru), wherein the entire liability is taken over by Young Indian.
Explanations
When asked, party general secretary Janardan Dwivedi (also the party spokesman) said, “Congress gave a loan to revive National Herald; it was launched in the fight against the British. It was the nation’s paper. The loan was not given to earn profit. Reviving the paper was an emotional issue for the Congress.”
Explaining the second and crucial leg of the transaction, the note added, “As part of the restructuring exercise of the said company (Associated Journals), the said loan was converted into 9,02,16,898 ordinary shares of Rs 10 each, fully paid up.”
Thus, effectively, Young Indian got shares worth Rs 90.2 crore by paying a meagre Rs 50 lakh.
By virtue of this shareholding, Associated Journals becomes a subsidiary of Young Indian.
The liabilities were paid out as an “interest-free loan” from the AICC.
On Sunday, Dwivedi claimed 700 employees had got their pay arrears due to the loan. By Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy’s estimates, even a firesale of Associated’s real estate assets would have covered the Rs 90 crore liability in the books several times over, settled all employees and still have given the shareholders of Associated handsome returns.
But, the directors of Associated thought it fit to use these resources for development of the objects of Young Indian.
Dwivedi’s reiterated defence on the “interest-free loan” to Associated Journals was: “It is an emotional issue for us...only Congress will decide what is political activity for it and no other party.”
While helping employees and getting emotional is permissible, the accounting treatment of the transactions is a little unusual, said experts. Ideally, both the liability acquired and the value of the shares would reflect in the books of Young Indian. This treatment is a bit different.
The books of Young Indian show the 90.2 million shares it owns in Associated Journals under the investments column. But it does not show any value against this. There is just a dash in the value column.
The notes to accounts explains this treatment as follows: “Since the said acquisition is treated as application on the objects of the company(and accordingly, treated in the financial statements of the company), the same has not been as an investment in shares.”
The note goes on to add: “Besides, even if these shares were to be treated as an asset (investment), having regard to the fact that the net worth of the said company is negative, recognising the entire cost as diminution in value would result in an equivalent charge in income and expenditure account.”
Elsewhere, the note says, “Any outflow designed to fulfill the objects of the company, whether or not represented by an asset, is treated as application on the objects of the company.”
Issues
What are these “objects” of Young Indian that the notes refers to again and again? There is an answer to this, too.
“The company is engaged in activities to inculcate in the mind of India’s youth commitment to the ideal of a democratic and secular society and provides for application of its profits or income in pursuit thereof.”
But somehow the objects skips the original object of Associated Journals — that of publishing newspapers. Was that intentional? Or was it just an emotional slip?
What’s a Section 25 company?
A Section 25 company is a not-for-profit entity registered with a specific objective. These are companies formed with the only purpose of promoting commerce, art, science, religion, charity or any other useful objective.
The ministry of corporate affairs’ website maintains a list of Section 25 companies, which at present are estimated at 3,350.
A Section 25 company has to be granted a licence by the Registrar of Companies. It does not have to pay any dividend to its shareholders. Any surplus from its operations is ploughed back into the company and deployed towards achievement of stated objectives.
Some of the common Section 25 companies are non-government organisations (NGOs) and entities engaged in CSR activities.
Section 25 companies cannot be listed on exchanges, as there is no profit or dividend.
Section 25 companies also enjoy several exemptions. Unlike the minimum capital requirement of Rs 1 lakh for private companies and Rs 5 lakh for public companies, a Section 25 company does not have to meet any minimum capital requirement. It also pays lower registration fees. Nor does it pay stamp duty and a company can be a member of a Section 25 company.
Section 25 companies are also exempted either fully or partially from the requirement of voting methods for resolutions, retirement of directors by rotation and government approval for increasing the number of directors beyond12.
Such companies cannot obtain foreign contributions without seeking a certificate of registration under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) from the Home Ministry. They are required to use foreign contributions only for the purpose for which they are received. Norms for foreign investment in Section 25 companies are governed under the Foreign Exchange Management Act and FCRA.
The income of a Section 25 company is taxable and it generally enjoys all the advantages of a limited company under the Companies Act
