Update on 13 May 2013.

Scams under UPA

The CAG report which was available at the time of posting this blog went missing after a couple of days in the Link provided here .

I posted a blog on this.

Then after a week, the report was available.

Now it has gone missing today( 7.30 am.13 May 2013)

The Supreme court has passed strictures on the CBI for showing the report to the Law Ministry and PMO and for having it altered .

The Supreme Courts Observations,

  1. The affidavit, submitted by CBI director Ranjit Sinha, says that the Prime Minister’s Office and Coal Joint Secretary removed part of paragraph on non-existence of specific weightage or points in the system of allocation.
  2. The Law Minister deleted finding on non-preparation of broadsheets or charts by the screening committee. The Law Minister also deleted a sentence on finding on scope of inquiry on legality of allocation.
  3. But the CBI has emphasised that a draft status report was shared with the political executive and the Attorney General, not the status report it submitted to the court in sealed cover a few days later.
  4. The affidavit claims that no names of suspect or accused were removed from the status report and that no suspect or accused were let off in the process.
  5. It also says that consequent changes in the report have neither altered its central theme nor shifted the focus of inquiries in any manner.
  6. It is, however, difficult at this stage to attribute each change to a particular person with certainty, according to the affidavit.
  7. The CBI affidavit also names officials of PMO and Coal ministry, who had perused the draft report and on whose suggestions changes were made in it. Mr Sinha said Shatrughan Singh and A K Bhalla, the joint secretaries in PMO and ministry of coal respectively were “in regular interaction” with his officers with regard to ongoing inquiry in the coal scam.
  8. The CBI chief also extended an unconditional apology to the court for any inadvertent omission or commission and assured it of an independent probe in the coal scam.
  9. The Supreme Court had, after a stinging critique of the CBI last week, asked the agency for crucial details of a meeting at Mr Kumar’s office a few days before the report was submitted, where the minister allegedly vetted it.
  10. Sources say Law Minister Ashwani Kumar met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to explain the latest developments. Mr Kumar told the PM that the government, which is reeling under the massive coal scandal, will emerge stronger after the Supreme Court’s next hearing on Wednesday, the sources added”

I blogged about an hour back that the CAG site was not available.

Now I found that it is working all right.

    Well I think this is what I think ‘Team Anna’ called the charge sheet and created a file each in which our PM was named in the coal scam. I think at best what these guys can do is to dispute the actual amount of loss to the Govt. But the fact there is a loss cannot be disputed. Atleast in 2G they were talking about no takers and hence and to give it at throw away prices. But where is the question of no takers for Coal block allocation. How can it be done without competitive bidding. But at best, people will look with Awe at the amount involved, talk about it for a few days, opposition will use to gain ground and power and then we move on…

      Please wait.
      The Government will come with a story on excessive availability of Coal and hence there were no demand.
      So they wanted to create demand!
