Shanti Bhushan should support draft-panel from outside

Serious allegations of acquiring wealth by Shanti Bhushan and his sons through illegal means have been leveled by Amar Singh. All of us are aware of the credentials of Amar Singh and Digvijay Singh, less said the better. It certainly aims at derailing people’s process to check corruption in public life and punish corrupt officers, politicians and judges. Naturally the reaction by the vested interests will be virulent and nasty. But it also pertains to faith of the people and therefore the allegations (NOIDA land deal appears to be cogent) need to be examined mainly on the following points:-

a. Under valuation of property of the Bhushans at Allahabad, Delhi and other places.

b. If any attempt was made to influence judges through various means as per purported conversation recorded in the CD.

c. Whether PILs were being filed by Prasant Bhushan for ulterior motive as alleged.

d. How two plots worth 30 crore were allotted to them? Can a common man be given two costly plots at a few lakhs?

e. Whether a lawyer in India charges 25 lakh/per appearance. Shanti Bhushan has alleged to have been paid by Amar Singh 50 lakhs for two appearances. Should be it true, can a common man ever get justice in the system? Will not the system collapse sooner than later?

f. Whether Bhushan canvassed for Saumitra Sen the judge facing impeachment.

All these questions must be solved as public trust is at stake and Bhushans must step aside. Otherwise there is every likelihood of them being victims of blackmailing and pressure tactics by the corrupt mafia. If they do not resign from the joint drafting panel they may be too demoralized to do justice to the people’s aspirations.

Many happy returns of the day

A war was waged almost a decade back by me against a section of corrupt bureaucracy, police, press and judiciary which still goes on. Very (a) few have stood by me. She has been one of them who supported me like the rock against a tempest. Today 11^th April is her birth day. On this auspicious day I salute her grit and courage.

Stop worshipping false gods

The euphoria over Jan lokpal bill must not obscure harsh realities of history. We still adore false political gods responsible for the division of the country. The stupor of the false history needs to be dispelled. Stop dignifying the blunderers; a production of so-called progressive-propagandist history. True patriots like Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh and the like have been sidelined and the British sympathizers have been made to usurp pages of history.  By correcting history we will be correcting society and will remove timidity inherited from the failed leadership. we must have capacity to weed out traitors and the corrupt from the system.

Cricket World Cup 2011

We all praise the Indian cricket team for being world champion. But the unabashed distribution of crores of rupees among the cricketers and others is nothing but maniacally diabolical. The delirious step by union and state govts, in doling out money and plots from public exchequer is a crime against nation, The authorities must be punished for squandering poor country’s money on the cricketers who are already millionaires through ads & sponsorships of industrial houses. Are these cricketers national icons for the young generation? Their inebriated brawl in the Caribbean, orgies, dance & drama off field and yesterday filthy daru party in the Taj hotel Bombay to celebrate the win are some of the actions, the country must think about. The cricket body is itself  governed by corrupt political mafia. What message is there for the nation? Now Jharkhand govt is going to bestow PhD on Dhony. What a joke!

What has the govt done for developing sports potential in the country? Why do we lag behind US, China, Europe, Japan and even Iran in medal tally? The answer is we have excelled more in CWG scam than in sports. Why other forms of games and sports are not media-highlighted?

It is because the media barons chart course for the public intake. They first create hysteria in favor of cricket for days and then cram rubbish of commercial ads for public consumption. Who is CBDT to waive taxes on ICC and BCCI and individuals; already cash-rich bodies, doing huge business in India? Perhaps poverty and penury of people gives sadistic pleasure to the corrupt leaders.

Institutionalization of corruption in Indian polity

Goa education minister Atanasio Monserrate was reportedly detained at the Bombay airport for carrying illegally huge amount of US dollars as well as unaccounted Indian currency a couple of days back. It was also reported that the authorities were forced to release him on the phone call of a union minister. Now this helping hand need to be identified and prosecuted along with the culprit.

This is the conduct of a education minister whose son also faces rape-charge. A few months back the home minister of Nagaland was detained at Kathmandu airport for carrying big money. Instances of nabbing politicians for carrying black money especially during elections are now order of the day.

The shameless can not mend themselves. The UPA is simply incapable of governing the country. The ominous and somber part is that mafia has permeated everywhere. No institution appears to be safe from the virus.

Loss of morality, conscience and scruple; in politics and administration, has encouraged criminal acculturation of societal attitude.

Supreme Court of India Restores Integrity of CVC

(8th March 2011(http//blogs.siliconindia.com/drvijayeksaria)

My blogs "Check corruption or else the country will perish" dated 17th, October 2009" and “Bribe thrives with UPA" written 6 months back may be seen. At that very time I had discussed the role played by the PMO, Rastrapati Bhavan and others. Now the events turn out to be vindicating my stand.We all are indebted to the Supreme Court for salvaging the credibility of the CVC by removing Thomas and sending out a strong message to the country. The corrupt politicians who are criticizing the judgment in the name of corruption in judiciary or judicial activism must remember that this very court has already taken cognizance in a PIL relating to the Ex C.J Balkrisnan. In my 1st blog above I had cast doubt over working of the CVC. Now this apprehension has also come true as it has been revealed in the judgment that The CVC earlier had recommended major penalty proceeding against Thomas but in 2007 the same CVC albeit headed by another gave a clean chit to him.Now the govt. should review all such cases wherein clean chit might have been given to officers facing serious charges of corruption and misuse of authority, in partial manner during the period just before and in the tenure of Thomas
