Coal Scam Deleted Portions Implicate Manmohan Singh
The tampering of the Records of the Coalgate scam.

The Government doctored portions of the CBI Report for which the Supreme Court of India castigated the CBI , relate to the Coal block allocation made during the tenure of Manmohan Singh in 2006 and 2009.

It is not strange for this is the ‘Honest’ Prime Minister who gave a clean chit to A.Raja for 2 G scam well ahead of the enquiry.

He is also the Man who held ‘Paperless discussions with p.Chidambaram, then finance Minister and A.Raja!

A careful reading of the deleted portions seem to convey the message that there isan attempt to impliacte and expose the Pm,Manmohan Singh

Had people kept quiet on ‘the non existence of mechnaism’, the issue would not have surfaced!

“Notably, most of the changes were made in the PE (preliminary enquiry) No. 2 which dealt with the allocations made during 2006 and 2009 when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was in charge of coal ministry.
“Why was everybody interested in PE 2 only,” is the obvious query of the apex court….

According to advocate and social activist Sudiep Shrivastava, the second PE was launched by the CBI on a CVC reference following complaints made by BJP MPs Prakash Javadekar and Hansraj Ahir, who were interested in exposing the irregularities committed only during 2006 and 2009.
The CBI’s status report on preliminary enquiry (PE) 4 on coal block allocations made during 1993 and 2005 was also altered.
Sinha disclosed in his affidavit that the CBI’s finding that there was no system during 2006 and 2009 regarding allocation of specific weightage/points was deleted by officials from the PMO and coal ministry.
In contrast, both the joint secretary-level officials incorporated a sentence in the final status report on PE 4 highlighting the non-existence of approved guidelines for allocation of coal blocks…

A sentence dealing with the scope of inquiry with respect to legality of allocation even when amendments to the law were in process, was also deleted by the then Minister himself.
Both the drafts of the status report – before and after the doctoring – have been filed in the court in a sealed cover.
If one refers to the Comptroller and Auditor General’s (CAG) report, it is noted that during the period 2006 and 2009, the screening committee made allocations of coal blocks to a particular allotee “in an arbitrary manner and for extraneous considerations”.
The screening committee was to go by minutes of its meetings. “However, there was nothing on record in the said minutes or in other documents on any comparative evaluation of the applicants for a coal block, which was relied upon by the screening committee. Minutes of the committee did not indicate how each one of the applicants for a particular coal block was evaluated,” the CAG states.

This nails the recent statement of TRAI that it has not said anything about new set of Rules to DoT or Finance Ministry.

The page could also contain information about the role of the then Finance Minister,P.Chidambaram.

Is this a leak organised by Pranab Mukherjee after ‘patch up’ with Chidambaram.

Note that these actions on the part of CBI are after Sonia became active.

TV Show Cancellation Causes Furor Addiction or Political?
The cancellation of two final episodes of a TV Show caused an uproar in Thailand.

The programmer was focusing on Political manipulation with a fictitious prime minister.

Does any one remember ‘Kissa Kursi Ka’, which angered Indira Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi.?

Story;

A Thai TV station’s decision to cancel a popular and edgy soap opera mini-series has caused an uproar among viewers and critics who are demanding that the show’s final episodes be shown.

Channel 3 announced Friday that it would immediately stop airing the prime-time action drama “Nua Mek 2” after “having considered that some content was inappropriate for broadcast.”

The show, which began Dec. 14 and was aired three nights a week, told the story of a fictitious Thai prime minister, his corrupt deputy, black magic and political manipulation. After the station’s announcement, the final two two-hour episodes, which were scheduled for Friday and Saturday, were not broadcast.

The station did not further explain its decision to cancel the show, but a Channel 3 executive told a member of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission, Thailand’s broadcast regulator, that the channel feared the show’s content would violate the law, Thai media reported over the weekend.

Some supporters of the series speculated that Thailand’s government, which closely monitors television content, had a hand in the cancellation, but government officials denied having pressured Channel 3 to terminate the show.

“Those who know best (about the issue) are the broadcaster, producers and related personnel,” Prime Minister’s Office minister Warathep Rattanakorn told reporters Saturday.

”

Criticism and discussion go on for four long hours before the fanclub admin of the actress wrote a message admitting that the message was written that way because of what they heard on “Krob Krua Bungtern” that a new lakorn is airing this week, that’s why they second guess that “neua Mek 2 is ending this Friday.” And alluding things to politician is also “guessing”. The message are as below:

“Hello, last evening we wrote that neua Mek 2 is ending this Friday and someone took our message out of the page to a lot of places. We would like to clarify that we heard from Pe’Benz in “Krob Krua Bungtern” that the lakorn Raeng Prathana is airing this week, so we guess Neua Mek 2 is ending this Friday. We also guess why it end so early because the lakorn deals with politcal issues. This lead a lot of people to turn this into a big issue regarding politics. The truth was this is all guessing. #admin”

2G Scam,Manmohan Singh Knew all.- PMO Documents/Video.
Correspondence between the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh‘s Office (PMO) and Private Secretary seems to indicate that the PM knew of 2 G License allocation details which the PM,Home Minister and the Congress have been denying all along.

Raja has been insisting that he was following the norms laid by the Government for the issue of 2 G Spectrum allocation and that the Prime Minister was apprised of the action being taken by him.

Please refer my earlier blog where I have indicated this and the present Document available.

at http://www.2gscam.co.in/communication-between-pmo-and-private-secretary.asp confirms my opinion that the PM, the Congress party were

aware of what was happening in Spectrum issue.

( additional Link:

Counter affidavit filed by DoT (Government of India) in Supreme Court saying ‘zero’ loss to the government from issuance of licenses in 2008.’

The document Link.

http://www.2gscam.co.in/pdfs/affidavit-stating-zero-loss.pdf

This brings us to the original issue raised by Dr.Subramanian Swamy at the first instance that the whole 2G was happening with Congress Party’s connivance with the DMK and he indicated in an interview to a Tamil Magazine that the real share of the spoils was to the order of 70% to Sonia Gandhi,30% to the DMK and 10% to Raja.

However, Raja seems to have received more than what he has declared(!?) to his party,DMK and the Congress and has allocated himself the undeclared amount .

Congress and the forces inimical to Kanimozhi(read M.K.Azhagiri,

son of Karunanidhi,DMK Chief and Central Minister for Fertilizers) jointly set an operation to ‘Trap Raja’

For Details of these accusations by Dr.Swamy, watch the video of Swamy where he alleges these points and till date events are unfolding the way he said it would, thanks to the monitoring of CBI by The Supreme Court.

Additional letters from the PMO. follow the Link:

‘Arms Length’ Prime Minister.-2G,CWG.
In a communication to the Ministry Prime Minister Manmohnan Singh has noted,in the file relating to 2 G scam,to keep ‘PMO at arms length‘ .

The explanation given by the spokesperson is that the decisions have to be taken by the Departments concerned on merits and PMO’s communication should not be construed as ‘Directive‘

Why should there be a Prime Minister,if he can not direct his Ministers and Departments?

What is collective responsibility and being the Head of the Government?

An ornamental piece?

Again in CWG scam, in regard to appointment of OC of Games the Decision of the GoM has been overturned.

The question is by whom?

The GoM was chaired by the PM and Sunil Dutt as Sports Minister has written to the PMO that the GoM directive ha been given the go by.

What does the PM have to say on this?

‘at arms length’ -Some arm , some length!

It has come to notice that Raja of 2G scam has written over 9 letters on2G to the PM ,including pricing.

Still no action from PM!

To top it all there are ‘paperless decisions’ among PM, Home Minister P.Chidambaram and Raja on 2G.

Still people declare that the PM is honest and a man of unimpeachable integrity.

Media is ecstatic on his work ethics and honesty!

New Delhi, Aug 2 (IANS) Noting that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh ignored the warning of three successive sports ministers on former Commonwealth Games Organising Committee chief Suresh Kalmadi, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Tuesday said perhaps he wanted to keep an ‘arm’s length distance’ on the issue.

‘The fact is that three sports ministers of the UPA — Sunil Dutt, Mani Shankar Aiyar and M.S. Gill — tried to call the prime minister’s attention on the person appointed, but he ignored it,’ BJP leader Arun Jaitley said.

According to the findings through a Right to Information (RTI) application, Dutt, Aiyar and Gill wrote to the prime minister suggesting against Kalmadi continuing as the chief of the CWG OC.

S Band Scam,Sibal figures,Mauritius- Connection?
ISRO claimed that no transaction has been involved.

No monetary gains for Devas.

Then how come their shares are off loaded toa Foreign investor at a premium?

And why would a German Telekom be interested in the deal?

ISRO declared that they have the sanctions from the government right from PMO.

Does it mean the Govt. is stupid enough to okay a deal where they have no intention of allowing the companies to profit?

What message does it send to Business?

Telecom minister Kapil Sibal may soon find himself in a similar tangle as his predecessor A Raja. A spectrum deal between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Devas Multimedia Private Ltd., which has reportedly caused an estimated loss of Rs 2 lakh crore to the exchequer, was approved by the Union Cabinet based on a note signed by Sibal, who was the then Minister of State for Science and Technology.

ISRO had allotted 70Mhz of scarce S-band spectrum to Devas Multimedia – floated by former ISRO Scientific Advisor MG Chandrasekhar – at a dirt cheap price of Rs 1,000 crore in 2005, compared with Rs 1.06 lakh crore received after 3G spectrum auction.

If Sibal, who is trying to rescue the government in the 2G spectrum scam, is found to have played a prominent role in the deal, it spells more trouble for the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

Sibal, as a member of the Space Commission in his then capacity as Minister of State for Science and Technology, had sent a note that the deal was sealed by the Union Cabinet in 2005. Former Cabinet Secretary and the then National Security Adviser (NSA) MK Narayanan, now West Bengal Governor, and then ISRO Chairman G Madhavan Nair were other members of the commission.

Sources said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was briefed by Cabinet Secretary KM Chandrasekhar last year on the need to cancel the ISRO-Devas deal. The Department of Space under Singh, however, did not order the cancellation. Even the Law Ministry last year, in response to the cabinet secretary’s query, had argued that ISRO was within its rights to cancel the contract signed on its behalf by its commercial arm Antrix Corporation Ltd.

http://www.tehelka.com/story_main48.asp?filename=Ws080211ISRO_Devas_controversy_II.asp

Devas Multimedia, the alleged beneficiary of ISRO, causing loss of over Rs 2-lakh crore to the national exchequer, was able to raise over Rs 600 crore only as equity from various sources after it was allotted scarce S-band spectrum. ISRO is under the Department of Science and is directly in the Prime Minister’s charge.

According to the balance sheet of the company, the total shreholder fund stood at Rs 67.5 crore as on March 31, 2007, which went up to Rs 578 crore in 2010, over eight fold jump in a short span of only three years.

The company has shareholding from three Mauritius based companies called—Devas Mauritius, Ltd, Telecom Devas Mauritius Ltd besides Deutsche Telekom Asia Pte Ltd.

Devas Multimedia has several directors from overseas and other shareholders and debenture holders in the company, which were given approval post facto, suggesting that certain foreign investment rules were overlooked. Above is the shareholders list, their addresses, board of directors and sources of the fund of the company as on March 31, 2010.
The Mauritius based companies — Devas and Telecom Devas, were issued convertible cumulative preferential shares on March 16, 2006 at a huge premium of Rs 21445.82, only a few months after the company was allotted scarce spectrum.

Since the allotment of the scarce S-band spectrum, the company has been able to raise several hundred crore and has also made investments in various mutual funds and in foreign and financial institutions. The company has also loss making US-based companies as subsidiaries.

According to reports, as per its agreement with ISRO, the company is entitled to get a total of 70 Mhz of the S-band spectrum on lease for 20 years. And this is for the first time that the scarce spectrum, which ranges from 2500 to 2690 Mhz, has been given to a private sector company.
