“An audit of the donations received by Team Anna has been shared by The Public Cause Research Foundation (PCRF), which counts among its trustees Arvind Kejriwal, who was once Anna’s closest aide.
However, a thorough analysis of the audit report revealed several discrepancies.
For instance, the office pantry expenses for the period ending on September 30, 2011 were Rs 21,927. However, the pantry expenses in the next six months increased manifolds to Rs 89,070. The audit report also reveals that the
communication expenses which were Rs 2,68,986 at the end of September 2011, doubled in a span of six months. The communication expenses for the period ending March 31, 2012 reached Rs 5,77,474.
The speed with which legal expenses increased, the audit report is bound to raise several questions on the credibility of the Magsaysay award winner. For instance, till September last year, the audit report showed the legal
expenses to be Rs 14,936 but the expenditure on legal activities was calculated to be Rs 2,90,742 by March end this year.
This accounts to 20 times increase in the legal expenses by erstwhile Team Anna in the span of six months. This at a time when the erstwhile Team Anna had prominent lawyers and legal advisors like Shanti Bhushan and Prashant Bhushan.
Further comparison between the two audit reports of PCRF revealed that the printing and stationery cost that was as high as Rs 2,81,318 on September 30, 2011, reduced to Rs 1,53,965 till March end this year. Major difference
in the stationery expenses either hint at some flaws in the audit report or discrepancy in the preparation of balance sheet.
Another serious discrepancy was noticed in the publication expenses. The publication expenses which were Rs 26,55,978 on September 30, declined by almost Rs 10 lakh. The publication expenses were found to be Rs
16,69,656 as on March 31, 2012.
Similarly, the analysis of the two audit reports also showed that the office rent was hiked upto Rs 50,000 in merely six months. The office rent, which was Rs 1,39,850 on September 30 2011, increased to Rs 1,89,077 by March 31 this year.
According to the audit report, the agitation received highest donation of Rs 25 lakh from Sitaram Jindal on behalf of Jindal Steel. Notably, Congress MP Naveen Jindal, is the chairman and MD of Jindal Steel & Power. Kejriwal never hesitated to recieve donation from the company owned by the individual, whose Jindal Power is one of the beneficiaries of the coal allocations http://www.ncrkhabar.com)
Kejriwal has a lot to answer.
* My views on SG,Rajiv,Congress, BJP are known to readers.
Instead of meeting the accusation direct Kejriwal responded by an SMS to First post ‘where is the proof?’
When Robert Vadra asks him the same question,he says there is a suspicion and Robert should clear the suspicion and the Government must institute an enquiry into the affairs of Robert Vadra.
Then why doesn’t’ Kejriwal subject himself to an enquiry?
Needle of suspicion points at him.
Look at the information.
‘Roy, who had earlier termed Anna’s movement as a ‘Gandhian coup’ , expressed deep concern over Anna’s team members running NGOs funded by multinational corporations, not all of which are clean on the corruption front. She had written in a Hindu column on 21 August 2011: “Kabir, run by Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, key figures in Team Anna, has received $400,000 from the Ford Foundation in the last three years.” Kejriwal, an RTI activist, told Firstpost via sms that he had no comment, but asked ‘where is the proof’?
While voicing her anguish over why NGOs funded by World Bank and Ford are partcipating in mediating public policy, she said “Three of Anna’s core members ( Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and Manish Sisodia) are Magsaysay award winners which are endowed by the Ford Foundation and Rockefeller.” She added that World Bank alone runs 600 anti-corruption programmes in Sub-Saharan countries as a means to increase the penetrations of foreign capital.”
A large number of excellent non-profit organisations use the Global Hand website without undertaking Global Hand’sverification process.
Unverified non-profit organisations are able to:
make requests on the website so they can receive help for their projects
make offers through the website, should they wish
respond to requests placed on the website, if they are able to assist
respond to offers by making a comment on offers they are interested in. However, an unverified non-profit organisation cannot access contact details associated with offers on the website.
Global Hand cannot vouch for unverified non-profit organisations using the website, but encourages potential partners to make their own enquiries in order to be satisfied that they are dealing with an organisation that meets their requirements for partnership.
To complete the verification process, a non-profit organisation needs to submit a number of documents, including financial information and references. This ensures that companies making offers through Global Hand can trust the organisations who exchange contact details with them through the system. Global Hand places great emphasis on verifying organisations in order to avoid facilitating inappropriate or unwise engagement through our matching platform.”
Last month, the Ministry of Home Affairs sent a notice to Sisodia, in which it said the foreign funding received by his NGO has been used in anti- national activities, said Bibhav, an associate of Sisodia.
“They asked for some documents which we submitted. But then they said they wanted to physically inspect the office. They have confiscated vouchers and files,” Bibhav said.
The IT department has also sent a notice to the NGO over its finances.
Sisodia was a member of the now disbanded Team Anna and is in the core committee of India Against Corruption, the NGO run by activist Arvind Kejriwal which is at the forefront of Lokpal movement. He was also part of the hunger strike that was held at Jantar Mantar following which Kejriwal had announced the decision to form a political party.

In his ‘nth’ fast unto death, Anna Hazare,not being able to find an excuse to end his ‘fast’ has now threatened to call off his fast because
of his/’Kejriwal’s followers were involved in a scuffle with the Media on Monday.
In fact while we were driving yesterday.I was telling my son that Anna Hazare will find a novel reason to quit the fast.
How true!
A false Messiah,that too self-appointed,can only breed anarchy.
If he were sincere he should resolve that unless his followers behave properly he shall continue his fast unto death and not an excuse to end it.
Look at the bad blood between Anna and Kejriwal and where is the joker in the pack, Kiran Bedi?
Good that the Media has realised that he no longer gets them TRP and stopped ‘telecast Live’ his antics.
Story:
New Delhi, Jul 31: Anna Hazare was upset over the scuffle between his supporters and media personnel at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Monday, Jul 30. The Gandhian was so upset with his team and other supporters that he threatened to end the protest.
However, a crucial Team Anna member, Arvind Kejriwal, who has been continuing his fast protest for the last six days, on Tuesday, Jul 31 apologised to media for “misbehaviour” of their supporters.
Despite Kejriwal’s apology, it seems that the anti-graft crusader was not convinced and announcedthat he will call off the protest if his supporters and aides continue to misbehave with the media. The septuagenarian also urged his team and supporters to desist from any confrontation with mediapersons.
The incident took place around 10 pm, when Hazare supporters entered into an argument with the mediapersons. A team Anna member’s allegation that the media was not projecting the protest in the right light led to the scuffle.
Key Team Anna member Kumar Vishwas condemned the incident and said the scuffle should not have taken place. Meanwhile, the Broadcast Editors’ Association (BEA) has condemned the incident and demanded an apology from Team Anna.
Following the scuffle, BEA on Tuesday issued a press release where it claimed, “The Broadcast Editors’ Association strongly condemns attack on media by Anna supporters. The BEA believes that this is an interference in the functioning of media. The media is discharging its legitimate duty of covering the agitation in a fair manner. The BEA seeks an immediate apology from Team Anna for the misbehaviour by its supporters.”
Along with Kejriwal, the Gandhian crusader also started his fast and continued his protest for the third day on Tuesday. This time the team demanded an independent probe by Special Investigation Team (SIT) against 14 Union Cabinet ministers including Manmohan Singh. Team Anna, however, spared Pranab Mukherjee as he is protected by immunity from facing legal action after becoming the President of India.

Anna Hazare’s fight against Corruption,though well-intentioned, is not Right, the way he goes about it.
The issue is to be handled by Parliament and not by a Group of people, arm twisting the elected body by going out in the streets.
Any one who muster crowd and media support can resort to this to defy or enact a Law in their interests.
Other option,considering that the political rogues, is to force the MPs bySatyagraha against them in their constituency and make them bring in or vote for the legislation people want.
Dr.Subramanian Swamy’s is the lone voice that has the courage to utter the name of Sonia Gandhi as Corropt.

Sonia Gandhi is so sacrosanct for the Media that these investigators could not( or did not want to!) find out about the illness of Sonia Gandhi and her admission into the a Hospital in the US.
It was conveniently omiited and it was for useless bloggers like me to ferret out the details.
