Corruption in ISRO – S band Scam – Scam Amount 2 Lakh Crore – CAG Expose

Corruption in ISRO – S band Scam –
Scam Amount 2 Lakh Crore – CAG Expose

Updated on Thursday, February 17, 2011 –

Everyday we have sunset with a new Scam and new information about Corruption.
And this congress government has not brought a single new law or amendment to stop this Corruption.


The CAG was probing the ISRO and looked into an agreement between ISRO's commercial company Antrix and Devas Multimedia.
The company is headed by Dr MG Chandrasekhar, former scientific secretary at ISRO.

Firstly the agreement was made for or related to launching two satellites by ISRO for Devas.
In this contract the Hidden benefit was given to Devas regarding scare S band.
The use of 70 MHz of the scarce S-band spectrum over a 20-year period.
S-band spectrum was given at throwaway prices to Devas in 2005.

It’s reported that the 70MHZ spectrum was sold at only 1000 Crore.
And estimated price of this S band spectrum is Rs. 2 Lakh Crore

In India only total band available is 190 MHz of the S-band
Currently 150 MHz is with the Department of Space
And 70 MHz of this was allotted to Devas multimedia.

As per Reports Under the deal, Devas Multimedia is to get access to 70 MHz of broadband spectrum in the 2500 MHz band. This was once used by Doordarshan to deliver programmes by satellite to all parts of the country.

According to the report, the CAG wants to know -

1.Why was Devas Multimedia allotted S-band spectrum, without inviting any bids?

2.Why resources were were diverted from ISRO's budget to private satellites?

3.Why regulators were not informed of the implications of the deal?

The CAG estimated that not auctioning off the S-band spectrum caused the exchequer losses of at least Rs 2 lakh crore.

Again Government property was sold without auction.
This is reason we need to change law or amend law and need to introduce the law,

Law – No one is allowed to sale government property without open auction with 1 month of notice to Indian Public.

The Department of Space is part of Prime Ministers office.
Department of space comes directly under the PM
ISRO reports to the Department of Space (DoS), which in turn reports to the Prime Minister's Office.

"The agreement entered by Antrix, the commercial arm of ISRO, and M/S Devas on January 28, 2005 is already under review by the Department of Space and a decision on the matter will be taken soon".

I hope that agreement will be cancelled for the benefit of India.

Updated on Friday, February 11, 2011 –

In 2005, the commercial arm of ISRO, Antrix, signed a contract with Devas Multimedia
Devas says it is totally unaware of this.

In a statement today, the company stressed, "Devas has never been informed by DOS/ISRO/Antrix at any time prior to February 8, 2011 that the Agreement was under review since December 8, 2009 and even to date we have received no official notices.

On the contrary Devas was provided written confirmation that all required approvals had been obtained from the highest levels for giving effect to the Agreement and repeatedly assured that the delays in delivery of the satellite capacity were only on account of technical issues."

The Cabinet Committee on Security decided to terminate the controversial deal between ISRO's commercial wing Antrix and Devas citing national security.

"The deal between the Devas and Antrix shall be annulled. We concluded that this deal can be annulled. Government cannot afford to grant the S-Band to any one including Antrix because of strategic reasons," said Law Minister Veerappa Moily.

Egypt Muslim Brotherhood – Will it be good option for World and Females of Egypt? Where are the Egyptian Female Leaders?

Egypt Muslim Brotherhood – Will it be good option for World
and Females of Egypt?
Where are the Egyptian Female Leaders?
In Egypt for decades Muslim Brotherhood was banned by the Ruling parties or say presidents.

But as the citizens of Egypt started revolution against corruption, poverty and to remove the current President Mubarak from power and to establish democracy in the country
Now Vice President of Egypt has accepted Muslim Brotherhood into political negotiations:


In Cairo, in the talks with Mr. Suleiman, Muslim Brotherhood representatives joined others from secular opposition parties, as well as independent legal experts and a business tycoon Naguib Sawiris.

Past experience of Muslim Religious parties or leaders is not good, if you look back one can understand it.

Before getting into power Muslim Religious leaders talk sweetly, they will talk and say they want freedom and democracy, and once they get into power, immediately they will apply the Muslim Laws or Sharia law.

Every legal expert can say that and know that Muslim laws are against Democracy and are age old.

Sharia Law is very dangerous and punishments deter the common man so much he will never come on the Roads to protest them or demand again Democracy.

The laws are good for males and are very bad for females, thus Majority Males support them.
Who do not want easy divorce, 4 wives, with full freedom to keep extra girls?
And complete obedience from female,
In democratic nations this is impossible, females are equal to male and both work as partners no one is superior to other. Or females got the options open.

Here USA has to work hard and see that proper democracy is established in Egypt and even United Nations and European Union should see that Egypt moves toward Democracy and not in the direction of Religious Nation.

As Egypt is moving towards democracy, it is the duty of American leaders and America that as a World leader to see that, Females of Egypt also participate in rule making,
Making of New constitution of Egypt.

Know about Roboearth - World Wide Web for Robots – Internet for Robots – Terminator Skynet a concept from Movie towards becoming reality –

Know about Roboearth - World Wide Web for Robots – Internet for Robots – Terminator Skynet a concept from Movie towards becoming reality –

I hope you have seen the movie Terminator.
In the Terminator series, Skynet is the main character an artificially intelligent system which became self-aware and revolted against its creators.

Skynet is rarely seen onscreen and its actions are often performed via other robots and computer systems; usually a Terminator.


The RoboEarth project was initiated by a multi-disciplinary partnership of robotics researchers from academia and industry.

In December 2009, the group received four-year funding from the European Commission's Cognitive Systems and Robotics Initiative to develop RoboEarth’s open-source network database platform and develop a series of demonstrators to prove the concept.
The demonstrators include using the RoboEarth platform to:

1. create and execute action recipes
2. integrate localization and mapping
3. perform 3D sensing
4. learning control
5. track objects dynamically
6. mine data from RoboEarth past data

What is RoboEarth?

RoboEarth is an Internet for robots: a world-wide, open-source platform that allows any robot with a network connection to generate, share and reuse data.

At its core, RoboEarth is a World Wide Web for robots: a giant network and database repository where robots can share information and learn from each other about their behavior and their environment.

Bringing a new meaning to the phrase "experience is the best teacher", the goal of RoboEarth is to allow robotic systems to benefit from the experience of other robots, paving the way for rapid advances in machine cognition and behavior, and ultimately, for more subtle and sophisticated human-machine interaction.

The RoboEarth World-Wide-Web style database will be implemented on a Server with Internet and Intranet functionality.

It stores information required for object recognition (e.g., images, object models), navigation (e.g., maps, world models), tasks (e.g., action recipes, manipulation strategies) and hosts intelligent services (e.g., image annotation, offline learning).

In simple language I will say,
Roboearth will be internet of the Robots,
Robots will download information from Roboearth and then they will complete the task reducing the need of human.
Today when we have any problem we use WWW and get the information and solve our problem.
Same way Robots will contact Roboearth and will get the details and they will complete the given task.

Currently scientist have got success in basic activity this guarantees that Scientist in future will build the something like skynet for robots, currently which we are calling it Roboearth.
Again it will depend on us humans if we want to use them for peaceful purpose or destruction and I am sure governments will use them for both.

What is the vision, object, motivation behind Roboearth?

The aim of RoboEarth is to use the internet to create a giant open source network database that can be accessed and continually updated by robots around the world.
Allow robots to encode, exchange, and reuse knowledge to help each other accomplish complex tasks.

Before this Robots were firstly told or configured to do certain task in certain way.
Their systems have relied on knowing in advance the specifics of every possible situation they might encounter.
Each response to a contingency has had to be programmed in advance, and systems have had to rebuild their world model from sensor data each time they had to perform a new task.

But what will happen if Robots can update their database according to environment or need or on the fly learn the new task, and methods, way to do that task, this is where Roboearth comes.

Imagine –
Hospital Room 1 robot is serving the coffee or giving the medicine to the patient.
Robot does this activity, while doing this robot monitors everything, automatically data is sent to Roboearth, with problems which robot faced.
Then some human will configure it or adjust the data and procedure etc.

Now this first robot goes repair, and on his place 2nd Robot comes
Now what will happen?

2nd robot which does not know how to complete the same task, this time 2nd Robot will contact the Roboearth for help and his software will be updated and he will do the same task without error.
Thus this 2nd time no training is required, Robot learned it automatically.
Robot asks to Roboearth?
How can I do this task to Roboearth?
Roboearth = Robot wait updating your software solution found.
Or it may happen,
Robot – I do not know how to do this, search the Roboearth database and get the solution, found the solution and download it, learn it and complete the task.

Watch the video - The video shows a proof-of-concept: A service robot in a hospital room downloading a map of its environment, object recognition models and task descriptions from RoboEarth, and successfully serving a drink to a patient.



In the above video we can see that scientist have achieved the first goal, after 1 year of hardworking.
As you can see in the video above, RoboEarth has a way to go. One year into the project, can download task descriptions from RoboEarth and execute a simple task. We can also upload simple things, like an improved map of the environment.
But for now we are far from using or creating the rich amount of prior information described in the scenario above, or addressing potential safety or legal challenges.

With this now I am sure one can imagine lot of stuff, like killing enemy, murder or enjoying or having fun hope you got it.

Thunder – Love walked in Lyrics with Video

Thunder – Love walked in Lyrics with Video
Below the lyrics of the song Love walked in, watch the video of the song loved walked in
Category – Hard Rock Song

So tired of waiting I walked an empty land,
I was looking for something to help me understand,
But bad luck kept turning,
My dreams into sand,


I didn’t want pity,
I had my share of friends,
I wanted somebody,
More special than the rest,
I was aching inside,
Like I was approaching the end,

Just about that moment,
The timing was so right,
You appeared like a vision,
Sent down to my life,
I thought I was dreaming,
When I saw you that night,

That’s when love walked in through my door,
That familiar feeling I had once before,
Love walked in through my door,
And it felt so strange,

It’s hard to remember being on my own,
That kind of loving makes a hard man lose control,
But I sleep so much better,
Now I’m not alone,

So promise me baby,
You’re always gonna stay,
I don’t think I could take it,
Seeing you walk away,
You don’t need to doubt it,
I remember that day,

That’s when love walked in through my door,
I found just what I wanted,
But I got so much more,
Love walked in through my door,
And it felt so strange,
Like a long lost friend that hadn’t changed,
Giving me hope again,
Love walked in,
Love walked in,
Love,

Just about that moment,
The timing was so right,
You appeared like a vision,
Sent down to my life,
I thought I was dreaming,
When I saw you that night,

That’s when love walked in through my door,
That familiar feeling I had once before,
Love walked in through my door,

Love walked in through my door,
That familiar feeling I had it once before,
Love walked in through my door,
And it felt so strange,
Like a long lost friend that hadn’t changed,
Giving me hope again,
Love walked in,
Love walked in,
Love,
Love walked in,
Love walked in.

Know and Understand Islamic banking System – Kerala Government Planning to start Islamic Banks in Kerala.

Know and Understand Islamic banking System –
Kerala Government Planning to start Islamic Banks in Kerala.

Know and understand Islamic banking.
Easy approach to understand Islamic banking.

What is Islamic banking system?

A banking system which is based on Sharia Muslim law and principles is called as Islamic banking system.

This banking system do not allow to pay interest. Islamic banking system do not allow to invest money in the business which are contrary to Islamic principles and law, the term is harram is used in Islam for this.


Islamic banks currently operate in Muslim community mainly.

The first Islamic bank was started, savings bank based on profit-sharing in the Egyptian
town of Mit Ghamr in 1963.

The first modern commercial Islamic bank, Dubai Islamic Bank, opened its doors in 1975.

The basic principle of Islamic banking is the sharing of profit and loss and the prohibition of riba (usury).

Islamic or Shariah-compliant banking provides and uses financial services and products that Conform to Islamic religious practices and laws, which, in particular, prohibit the payment and receipt of interest at a fixed or predetermined rate.

In practice, this means that instead Of loans, Islamic banks use profit-and-loss sharing arrangements (PLS); purchase and Resale of goods and services, and the provision of services for fees form the basis of Contracts

In an Islamic bank, the rate of return on a deposit is directly dependent on the quality of the Bank’s investment decisions.
If the bank records losses as a result of bad investments, depositors may lose some (or all) of their deposits.
The contractual agreement between depositors and the Islamic banks does not predetermine any rates of return; it only sets the ratio according to which profits
And losses are distributed between the parties to the deposit contract.

Understand the Islamic banking through example:
Suppose Mr John wants a loan to purchase a car or say house and he goes to Islamic bank, then bank will purchase the car and keep the ownership with the car and give that car to
Mr. John .
The ownership remains with the Bank until Mr. John pays the loan amount to the bank. Same rule is applied to nearly everything just they use different names for transactions.
There are no late fees, penalites etc if john is not able to pay on time.

And finally, Islamic banking is restricted to islamically acceptable deals, which exclude
Those involving alcohol, pork, gambling, sex, movies, etc.

When Islamic bank is smaller it works very well as depositors and management of bank
Can watch, monitor every activity very closely.

But when Islamic bank becomes bigger crosses the state borders it becomes very difficult
To monitor.

Current banking system is good but what happened in USA and fallout of all
Economies is a result of greediness of politicians, bankers, executives.

To over this problem there should be international monitoring bank or body which will watch and detect the frauds, greedyness.laziness of banks.

Islamic Banking system is very popular in West Asia and in predominantly Muslim nations such as Malaysia and Indonesia. Leading international banks such as HSBC and Standard & Charted have exclusive Islamic banking windows.

India and Islamic Banking System –

Few weeks back The Kerala High Court dismissed a petition that said an Islamic bank violates the principle of secularism as laid out in India's constitution.
The petition had been filed by former Law Minister Subramanian Swamy.

Just for the Muslim Votes , Kerala Government has decided to start the Islamic Banking in Kerala. The sanction for the Islamic bank comes three months ahead of elections in Kerala. Muslims constitute 25 per cent of Kerala's vote bank

The Congress has not taken a stand on the issue, while the BJP has voiced its opposition.

The Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation will hold 11 per cent stake in the bank.
The bank plans to raise an initial capital of 500 crore rupees from NRIs and will avoid all interest-linked business activities.
It will provide interest-free loans for those looking to start new businesses and small-scale ventures.
It will also invest in the infrastructure sector.
The activities of the bank will be supervised by a Shariah Supervisory Board which will include Islamic scholars.

Opening Banks on religious grounds is not good for India.
This will again divide India, Hindu and Muslims population will get divided.

The good thing for India is nothing should be based on religion, caste and creed, every Indian should get as per his family status like reservation or anything.

This is the total wrong doing by politicians I will appeal to Muslims do not vote for such people, demand better schools and collages , good roads etc.

If this Bank is based on Islamic system, then do you think they will follow Islamic punishment of Hand cutting, or stone death in matters of such Bank.

This again proves that India is secular nation on the papers only to fool the world.
Where is democracy and equality?

The United States calls upon the Egyptian government to act under the laws of Egypt in the spirit of its professed desire for increased political openness and dialogue within Egyptian society, and out of humanitarian concern, to release Mr. Nour from detention

I would never run away... I will die on this soil," he said as the President defended his legacy, recounting the many years he has spent leading his country.

February 6, 2011
State TV reports that President Hosni Mubarak has resigned from Egypt's ruling party.
His son, Gamal Mubarak, and the National Democratic Party's secretary-general, Safwat el-Sharif, have also resigned, in a new gesture to protesters carrying out a 12-day-old wave of anti-government demonstrations.
However, Mubarak still continues as the nation's president.

It was also reported that another member of the National Democratic Party, Dr. Hossam Badrawy, who is generally well-accepted by the public, has been named Secretary General of the NDP.

Supreme Court Gives 2 days to Government to regulate the use of plastic for packaging gutka and tobacco products

Supreme Court Gives 2 days to Government to regulate
the use of plastic for packaging gutka and tobacco products

Updated – Friday, February 18, 2011

Rajasthan High Court order banned the use of plastic sachets.
Then an appeal was filed by gutka and pan masala manufacturers challenging a Rajasthan High Court order banning use of plastic sachets.


The bench had on December 7 restrained gutka, pan masala and chewing tobacco industry from using plastic as packaging material for their products by March 1 this year and ordered the government to entrust an independent agency to test the contents of these sachets to evaluate the risk they pose to consumers.

The court was hearing petitions filed by different gutka, pan masala and chewing tobacco manufacturing companies seeking modification of its ruling of banning use of plastic as packaging material for their products by March 1 this year.

Supreme Court in December 2010 gave order and directed the Centre to come out with the law within eight weeks which expires on February 4.

The apex court pulled up the Centre for delay in notifying Plastic Management and Disposal Rules which were framed in 2009 but have not been notified.

Pleading for more time, a Central government counsel said that rules have already been framed in September 2009 and only a formal notification is required to implement the law.

Then Supreme Court Bench said that
“How much consultation would you do for notifying the rules?
One year and four months have already passed,”

“We are not going to give you more time.
No question of giving more time.
You should notify the law within two days available to you (government).
You would violate the court’s order at your peril,” a bench headed by Justice G S Singhvi said, directing the government to meet the deadline set by it in December.

The Supreme Court refused to grant more time to the Centre for implementing the law to regulate the use of plastic for packaging gutka and other tobacco products and asked it to notify that within two days.

Once Again Supreme Court of India doing the Job of government.
I do not understand why so much delay to notify it?
For every good law Supreme Court has to order to Government of India to make that law.

Updated – Friday, February 18, 2011
Supreme Court of India acts strictly –
Gutka and pan masala will not be sold in plastic sachets from March 1.

Only because of Supreme Court strict orders to government the environment ministry on February 7 had notified the rules and brought it into force immediately.
They now have 11 days to make their product packaging free of plastic content.

Supreme Court of India also told the manufacturers to bring in their petitions challenging the legality of the new rules before the SC.
SC ordered that none of the HCs would entertain petitions against the 'no use of plastic' notification.

WikiLeaks nominated for 2011 Nobel Peace Prize –

WikiLeaks nominated for 2011 Nobel Peace Prize –

A Norwegian lawmaker has nominated WikiLeaks for the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize, saying Wednesday that its disclosures of classified documents promote world peace by holding governments accountable for their actions.

Members of all national parliaments, professors of law or political science and previous winners are among those allowed to make nominations.
Norwegian parliamentarian Snorre Valen announced his nomination of WikiLeaks to the Norwegian Nobel Committee on Feb. 1.
Valen said that by disclosing information about corruption, human rights abuses and war crimes, WikiLeaks is a natural contender for the Nobel Peace Prize,"
Snorre Valen, a representative of the Socialist Left Party (Sosialistisk venstreparti, SV), highlighted WikiLeaks’ work in bringing important and hidden documents to light, as well as the website’s contribution to the debate on freedom of speech and openness in modern society.


How much is the award amount?
10 million kronor ($1.6 million) award.
The prize was endowed by Alfred Nobel, the Swedish inventor of dynamite, who said in his will it was to be awarded to whoever "shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

Liu Xiabao was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year for his struggle for human rights, democracy and freedom of speech in China.

WikiLeaks got very less chances to win this award.

Kyrgyz President Roza Otunbayeva, Afghan human rights advocate Sima Samar, and several rights groups including U.S.-based Wings of Hope and Cuban opposition movement Damas de Blanco are also on the list.

My own vote will go to wikiLeaks.
Indian Government got the names of 26 corrupt Indians.
But as an Indian we do not have right to know those names.

We are waiting that one day Wikileaks will announce the names, we will know them.
Can any one dare to make those names public?

This is what wikileaks is doing, their life and family is in danger and every government is against them as they know it today its America and tomorrow it will be India or china or any other nation.

We need more people like Wikileaks.

For me it should be crime to hide the government information,
It should not be crime to expose the government or their corruption.
The Founder of the Website Julian Assange is currently under house arrest in London awaiting potential extradition to Sweden

People may say actions of wikileaks are not good, but those actions are to make governments more accountable.
The actions support freedom of speech.

The committee will announce the winner in October.

2 G - Scam – DMK and Karunanidhi –

Reports have suggested that the kickbacks paid to Mr. Raja were routed into a TV channel owned by the first family of the DMK.

The CBI believes that a 200-crore cheque, which was a kickback in the 2G scam, was paid in 2009 to Kalaignar TV, owned by M Karunanidhi's family.
His wife, MK Dayaluammal, owns 60 percent of Kalaignar TV; his daughter, Kanimozhi, owns another 20 percent.

The bribe was allegedly being paid by Shahid Balwa, a promoter of DB Realty and Swan Telecom, which was allegedly one of the two major beneficiaries of Mr. Raja's spectrum largesse when he was minister.
Swan Telecom was granted its license for a little over 1500 crores and sold stake to Etisalat, a Dubai-based firm for nearly 4,200 crores.

Along with Mr. Balwa's Swan Telecom, real estate company Unitech has been shortlisted by the CBI as one of Mr. Raja's partners in crime.


A bench comprising Justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly asked the agency to lay its hand on the big corporate houses and the government officials who may have a role in the scam "as mere summoning them for examining them may not be sufficient".

The Supreme Court, monitoring the probe into the 2G scam told the CBI to go after the corporates, which are the beneficiaries of the scam.
the court said, "We have large number of persons who think themselves to be the law. Merely their being in the list of Forbes list of millionaires doesn't make a difference."

The Supreme Court wanted to take the 2G scam probe beyond Raja - to the big league of telecom companies, which the CAG says benefitted from the license bids.

The court asked CBI to inform them as to what they are doing regarding the beneficiary companies who have benefited from the scam," said senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan.

According to the CAG report, already tabled in Parliament, has mentioned that Reliance Telecom, an ADAG group company was one of the beneficiaries of the 2G rollout.
In its report, the CAG had clearly named ADAG group company Reliance Telecom Limited for violating the law.

The Supreme Court asked the government to constitute a special court to exclusively deal with the 2G spectrum scam that has caused a loss of Rs 1.76 lakh crore (Rs 1.76 trillion) to the exchequer.

The Supreme Court asked the CBI to reveal who the conspirators in the scam are and place the chargesheet before it ahead of filing it before the special court.

The Supreme Court also directed that no other court will pass any order in connection with the 2G spectrum case as may impede investigation.

CBI said that it will complete the investigation into the spectrum allocation between 2001 and 2006 by May 31, by which time it will also file the first charge sheet in the case.

In this case now it is expected that CBI will pay attention towards Unitech.

In its FIR CBI has mentioned that ,

Swan was allotted UAS licences for 13 circles for Rs 1,537 crore (Rs 15.37 billion) and it sold 45 per cent of shares before roll-out to UAE-based Etislat for Rs 4,200 crore (Rs 42 billion)

"M/s Unitech was allotted UAS licenses for 22 circles for Rs 1,658 crore (Rs 16.58 billion).
It offloaded its 60 per cent of shares in the licenses to Telenor of Norway for Rs 6,100 crore (Rs 61 billion) even before the rollout," the FIR said.

The charges against Unitech, according to the CBI's FIR, was that it offloaded 60 per cent of its shares to Telenor, a Norway-based telecom company and earned a profit of 267 per cent even before the roll out.

The CBI and Enforcement Directorate investigations have estimated that former telecom minister A Raja could have got bribes to the tune of Rs 3,000 crore, and have put the loss to the exchequer due to selling of spectrum at undervalued rates at Rs 40,000-50,000 crore.
The companies that have been accused of collusion with Raja include Swan, Unitech, Videocon, S-Tel and Aircel.

Updated on Saturday, February 12, 2011

CNN-IBN has accessed Balwa's letter to the CBI written on December 22, 2010 in which
DB Realty Managing Director Shahid Usman Balwa that Reliance Telecom had invested in his company.
Balwa also acknowledges that ADAG helped him set up business to apply for 2G spectrum licenses.
Balwa's letter to the CBI also mentions that ADAG officers were on his board, and ADAG brought preferential shares in his company to provide him with initial capital.
Balwa further told the CBI that ADAG sold off its stake to a Mauritius-based company.
CNNIBN Reported that CBI is investigating if former telecom minister A Raja's bribe money was channeled through a Mauritius-based company.

Money was loaned to DMK's Kalaignar TV by DB Realty group through a maze of transactions.
Karunanidhi's wife MK Dayalu owns 60 percent and daughter Kanimozhi owns another 20 percent in the DMK TV channel.

Rs 214.84 crore is reflected in Kalaignar TV's balance sheet as an unsecured loan. It comes from Cineyug Media and Entertainment Pvt Ltd

A bench of justices G S Singhvi and A G Ganguly asked the CBI to apprise it of their findings on March 15.
The apex court had detected yesterday the cancellation and subsequent restoration of 2G spectrum license to S-Tel, while examining a relevant government file on the matter.
The file was placed before the bench on its direction after it was alleged by the petitioners, Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL) that the Centre had adopted "arm- twisting" policy against the company for challenging Dot’s policy in 2G spectrum allocation in the court.

Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested A. Raja .Why A. Raja was arrested after 5 months?

Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested A. Raja .
Why A. Raja was arrested after 5 months?

Thank You
CAG – CAG found the Scam and corruption and mentioned it in its Report.
Supreme Court of India – Ordered strictly
And Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy – Following the case and filing the case

We hope you will fight this case until the Indian citizens get full satisfaction and full justice.


Former telecom minister A Raja has been arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the 2G spectrum scam case in New Delhi along with his personal secretary RK Chandolia and former telecom secretary Siddharth Behuria

Siddharth Behura was the Telecom Secretary January 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009.
He signed off on the files that formalized the sale of 2G licenses.
Chandolia is still serving in the Indian Economic Service.

Under what charges CBI arrested Raja?
Raja has been arrested under sections 120B, 13(2), 13(1D) of Prevention of Corruption Act on the charges of criminal misconduct, violation of policies and favoring some specific companies during the sale of 2G spectrum licenses.
He will be produced in court on Thursday.

On February 10 CBI has to again face the Supreme Court of India.
As again SC will ask the CBI what the progress in 2G scam case is.

The Supreme Court has asked the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate to submit status reports on their investigations into the 2G spectrum case to it by February 10 when the case will come up for further hearing.

In its FIR, CBI mentioned the loss as Rs 22,000 crore based on CVC findings which had referred the case to it.

In this case I believe the CAG report calculations as CAG is right and perfect in their calculations.
Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report which held that the spectrum allocation at undervalued prices resulted in a notional loss of Rs 1.76 lakh crore to the state exchequer.

This again proves that All the Indian Political Parties are same and one with only one agenda.

Many leaders said there is no mistake, no crime was done, but now Raja also got arrested.

Now SC of India should speed up this case, if there is delay in this case, then again
Witnesses and files will be lost and No big fish will go to Jail.
This is how we work in India.
Slow action means we want to hide something.
Delay means we want to hide something.

Why Bofors scam came into light,
And we Indians came to know about it and investigation started?

For that we must thank Swedish Radio station which broadcasted this scam, and then Indian citizens came to know about this.

But in Bofors Case scam delay happened and all the big fishes got saved.

What is the reason investigation is going on slow?

Learn to demand Speedy Justice from all the political parties.

I hope BJP and other parties will continue demand for JPC whatever may happen, how much loss India may suffer
But corrupt must be punished.

BJP should get rid of corrupt politicians from their own Party.

If Raja is guilty then the people who bought the license are they not guilty?

Elections are also coming near, this is also one of the reason behind this arrest.

Know and Understand complete Shunglu Report on CWG – Shunglu Committee Submitted First Report to Government of India

Know and Understand complete Shunglu Report on CWG –
Shunglu Committee Submitted First Report to Government of India -

Citizens of India Suffered loss of Rs.135 Crore

The Committee said that based on documents available it has concluded that the actual cost of the contract awarded to SIS LIVE was at best about Rs. 111 crore, thus resulting in a profit of at least Rs. 135 crore for SIS LIVE and Zoom Communications

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had on October 15 constituted the committee to be headed by Mr. Shunglu, a former Comptroller and Auditor General, to investigate and report within three months its findings.

What was the Purpose or Duty of the Shunglu Committee a 2 member committee?


Answer –
To Look into issues relating to organizing and conduct of common wealth games Delhi 2010 and lessons to be learnt for the future.

The Host City Contract was signed as early as November 2003.
The OC took its own time to communicate formally to the Ministry that Prasar Bharati would be the Host Broadcaster.

The OC communicated the entrustment of Host Broadcasting role to Prasar Bharati in March 2007, over three years after the signing of Host City Contract.

Indian Olympic Association / Organizing Committee together with the Government
of National Capital Territory of Delhi and Government of India entered into Host City Contract with the Commonwealth Games Federation on 13th November, 2003 for holding of XIX Commonwealth Games in Delhi during 03-14 October 2010.

The Host City Contract identifies and binds the five key stakeholders: CGF, IOA, OC, GNCTD and GOI, who are responsible for the successful delivery of the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010.

The major responsibilities of the stakeholders were as follows:

Sports Infrastructure -
Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Govt. of Delhi; Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC)

City Infrastructure -
City Government ; Municipal Council of Delhi (MCD) and NDMC

Conduct and Delivery of Games - Organizing Committee (OC)

Host Broadcasting and Media Press -
Prasar Bharati and Ministry of Information & Centre Broadcasting

Tourism and Accommodation - Ministry of Tourism Tourists

Security - Ministry of Home Affairs

This report contains the findings and conclusions of the High Level Committee (HLC)
on the management of the responsibility relating to Host Broadcasting.

The Chairman OC, CWG 2010 formally entrusted the responsibility of the Host Broadcaster to Prasar Bharati in March 2007.

The OC and Prasar Bharati entered into a ‘Right Holder Broadcaster Agreement’ in
September, 2010 which granted Television Broadcast Rights and Radio Broadcast Rights for the Games within India to Prasar Bharati

The agreement also provided for revenue sharing between OC & Prasar Bharati of all Television Broadcast Rights.

The net revenue realization arising from International Broadcast Rights sales by the OC from outside India was to be shared in the ratio of 70:30 between OC and Prasar Bharati and in the ratio of 60:40 for net revenue arising out of sale of Television and Radio Broadcast of the Games within India

The total approved expenditure for Host Broadcasting, setting up of International Broadcasting Centre and Media Press Centre was 482.57 crore. This included a loan of 187 crore to Prasar Bharati.

The Ministry constituted an Oversight Committee headed by Minister, I & B to monitor the progress for performing Host Broadcasting functions. The Oversight Committee met on six occasions till September 2010

First Report of HLC on Host Broadcasting – Know and understand the findings of Shunglu Report.

1.
Contracts were awarded by Prasar Bharati for various Host Broadcast activities without ensuring reasonableness of rates, overruling suggestions received.

2.
Prasar Bharati takes major decisions with the approval of Prasar Bharati Board. The Board is vested with the responsibility of general superintendence, direction and management of the affairs of the Prasar Bharati Broadcasting Corporation. Approval of the Board was not taken for many major financial and management issues relating to Host Broadcasting operations.

3.
“Vigilance inquiry found that from the year 2006 to 2009 there was exponential increase in payments made to the legal entities engaged by Prasar Bharati and 78% of these payments were on account of engaging senior private advocates at ad hoc rates.

The panel of regular advocates was reduced so as to create grounds for increased engagement of private advocates.
Unjustifiably high rates were paid to the advocates and in some cases; the payments made were significantly higher than the terms of engagement.
The whole process of engagement of senior private advocates was based on decisions taken by the CEO without the approval of the Prasar Bharati Board.”

4.
It is incumbent upon any agency to satisfy itself about the reasonableness of price of goods and services.
Prasar Bharati did not verify reasonableness of the rates quoted by the successful bidders, with help of various means available to it.
Prasar Bharati failed to do so despite being advised by the Ministry of me & B and its Finance wing. This trend was noticed in all major contracts.

5.
Most of the decisions to support and award the inflated bids were taken by Director General (Doordarshan) and the then Chief Executive Officer despite strong contrary view.That entire work in Doordarshan was being carried out in a highly unprofessional manner with complete lack of transparency.

6.
Decision to Telecast Games in India on HD format was questionable.

7.
Even after spending over 350 crore as Host Broadcaster, Prasar Bharati, today neither possesses adequate number of equipment required for HDTV nor is its technical staff fully trained and experienced to handle similar jobs in future.
If any other major international sports event is organized in the country at a future date, Prasar Bharati may again have to fall back upon foreign consultants, Broadcasting Companies and service providers!

8.
The HLC has come across instances where the HB Project Cell was repeatedly obstructed and overruled by the CEO / DG (DD) on matters of contract performance and additional benefits to the contractor, in particular, SIS LIVE.

9.
The procedures and best practices in the selection of service providers were ignored or bypassed to favor certain entities.

10.
The technical staff of Doordarshan had confirmed their capacity and readiness to cover the production of 10 out of 17 events in Commonwealth Games, Delhi 2010.
Coverage of the remaining 7 events and Opening and Closing ceremony, which required specialization, was proposed to be outsourced.
Despite initiation of preliminary work for covering 10 events in-house in the year 2007 with the assistance of an international consultant hired by OC, this decision was abandoned by Prasar Bharati without any recorded reasons.

11.
In the Commonwealth Youth Games, Pune, 2008, efforts were made to award contract for Host Broadcasting to SIS Outside Broadcast Ltd. UK which was declared as the only technically qualified bid out of 10 responses received in the year 2008.
The tender process was discharged as Central Vigilance Commission had found the eligibility criteria flawed and unduly restrictive.
The CWYG were covered in-house by Doordarshan at a cost of 7.50 core against the bid amount of 42.30 crore of SIS Outside Broadcast. Irregular award of contract at a cost of 1.6 crore to Zoom Communications, Delhi for the hiring of broadcast equipment in CWYG, Pune 2008 was also adversely commented upon by Central Vigilance Commission.

12.
As per the contract signed with SIS LIVE, the entity was to provide a ‘turnkey solution' for the functions related to generation of basic feed, broadcast venue operations and services and training of PB staff.
The functions related to broadcast venue operations and services were not performed by SIS LIVE and were outsourced by Prasar Bharati to other agencies through separate contracts.

13.
Prasar Bharati did not heed the lessons of the CWYG, 2008 where it had glaring evidence of a highly inflated bid by SIS LIVE which was almost six times the actual in-house cost of production and coverage by Prasar Bharati.
It did not put in place systems to address the concerns voiced by the Central Vigilance Commission on the contracts for CWYG, 2008.

14.
Doordarshan possessed the capability to coordinate and broadcast ten of the seventeen games.

15.
The Executive Director of Zoom Communications (Shri Vaseem Ahmed Dehlvi), to whom the SIS LIVE ultimately entrusted the entire production and coverage work ‘back-to-back’ at a price that was 69 crore less than the Prasar Bharati-SIS LIVE contract, attended all meetings in Prasar Bharati along with the representatives of SIS LIVE before the signing of contract. After the contract was signed, he continued to represent SIS LIVE in all meetings, though he was working for Zoom Communications.

16.
These circumstances clearly establish that DG (DD) and CEO Prasar Bharati were aware of the simultaneous assignment of Production and Coverage responsibility by SIS LIVE to Zoom Communication; that they were two faces of the same coin and that their protestations to the contrary, post-survey operations by Income Tax (5th October, 2010), were disingenuous.

17.
A clear nexus between SIS LIVE, Zoom Communications and elements of Prasar Bharati management was apparent from the sequence of events, starting from CWYG, Pune 2008.

18.
It was also gathered that on several occasions the HB Project Cell officers were reprimanded in the presence of the contractors for insisting on compliance to the terms of the contract. The representative of SIS LIVE (effectively Zoom Communications) even asked for transfer of some of the staff members in the HB Cell.

19.
Prasar Bharati informed the Ministry and Oversight Committee (Meeting of 22nd October, 2009) that the bid for Production and Coverage of SIS LIVE (246 crore) was 26 percent lower than the bid quoted for similar components and activities during Request for Information.
This was a misleading, false and factually incorrect statement.
Apart from the fact that the figure of 6.55 million GBP ( 52 crore) quoted by BBC Outside Broadcasts for production and coverage of 12 events was never brought on record or discussed, the offer of $84.93 million ( 336 crore) by HBS-IMG consortium was for 'turnkey' solution which included overall management, IBC, production, venue operations, other operational items and management fee.
The amount quoted for Production and Coverage, as a line item, was only $43.18 million (172 crore).

20.
The contract for Production and Coverage of CWG, Delhi 2010 was awarded to SIS LIVE (partnership firm of SIS OB and SIS UK based firms) at a cost of 246 crore on the basis of a single bid as the other 9 responses were either rejected or entities backed out due to unduly restrictive and stringent conditions.

21.
The contract was assigned by SIS LIVE to Zoom Communications for 177 crore on the same day on which the contract was signed between Prasar Bharati and SIS LIVE.
This was in gross violation of tender conditions. SIS LIVE also issued a Press Release on 8th March, 2010 announcing award of a “key and exclusive contract for Broadcast Services, including technical equipment and diversified Production & Coverage services for the 2010 Commonwealth Games in India, to South East Asia’s largest broadcast services company, ZOOM Communications Ltd. India”.

22.
SIS LIVE had provided a list of 62 foreign based key personnel, in the technical proposal, who were to be deployed in the CWG Delhi, 2010.

23.
about 23 foreign based key personnel may have attended the Games. As per the international practice, if it is established that key staff were included in the technical proposal without confirming their availability, the firm should be disqualified.

24.Similarly SIS LIVE had asserted in the technical proposal that about 1300 personnel would be required to be brought from outside the country for the Games and corresponding cost (travel and accommodation) were booked in the financial bid.
During negotiations with SIS LIVE on these costs, the company had refused to reduce the same. Comparison with the list of persons provided accreditation by OC revealed that SIS LIVE / Zoom Communications had brought only about 858 persons from outside the country and the remaining persons were outsourced locally.

25.
As per the RFP, the selected entity was to provide coverage to Queen’s Baton Relay in 21 countries but SIS LIVE produced news stories from only 16 countries

26.
Under the provisions of the contract and international practice, the entity had to set up a separate site office during games for overseeing the operations at various venues.
No such separate office was set up by SIS LIVE and instead SHAF and Global Television the contractors for setting up International Broadcasting Centre were pressurized to permit SIS LIVE to set up site office in Hall no. 8 and 9 at ITPO which space was meant for IBC operations. Furniture purchased by Prasar Bharati at a cost of 20.71 lakh was provided to SIS LIVE for the office.

27.
The financial bid of SIS LIVE (P & C) and Global and Shaf (IBC) had a provision of 4.72 crore and 0.50 crore in their financial bids for food for its crew and staff.
SIS (Live) stated that amount of 4.72 crore included in the bid was meant for per diem cost during Games period and food cost prior to Games. In the weekly review meeting but Prasar Bharati, however, provided free catering facilities at venues to the employees of SIS LIVE and Global and Shaf (IBC) at a cost of 1.10 crore, which was inadmissible and constituted ‘benefit’ to these entities.

28.
SIS LIVE was required to provide commentary equipment for 70 units proposed to be set-up at various venues in accordance with the provisions of RFP and contract signed with the entity. Equipment for setting up of only 31 units was provided by SIS LIVE but no action for breach of contract was taken.

29.
Ignoring the advice given, Prasar Bharati hired HDTV specific broadcast equipment from SIS LIVE at a cost of 6.50 crore for covering Commonwealth Games within the country.
The hiring was done at exorbitant rates and aggregated to about 50 percent of the cost of purchase of state of art equipment of comparable quality.
It will be worthwhile to note that no other Right Holding Broadcaster, other than DD, hired equipment from SIS LIVE on rate card for the purpose of broadcasting.Based on documents made available, the High Level Committee has concluded that the actual cost of the contract awarded to SIS LIVE was at best about 111 crore; thus resulting in a profit of at least 135 crore for SIS LIVE and Zoom Communications.

30.
SIS LIVE secured the contract for 246 crore; assigned it to Zoom Communications for 177 crore; provided no service and made a profit of the difference

31.
Government overpaid at least 135 crore in a contract of 246 crore.

32.
The responsibility for providing ‘undue benefit’ to SIS LIVE and Zoom Communications is primarily that of the then CEO, Prasar Bharati and Director General (Doordarshan).

33.
The HLC estimates cost of this contract at below 100 crore

34.
Based on the Balance Sheet of Zoom Communications Ltd. and the statements made before Income Tax Authorities, the profit of Zoom Communications from this contract is estimated at 65 crore. Hence, acknowledged costs are at the most 111 crore.

35.
Shri Vaseem Ahmed Dehlvi, Executive Director, Zoom Communications, has emerged as a ‘key’ actor and link in this case. He reportedly had direct access to CEO, Prasar Bharati (Shri B.S.Lalli) and DG (DD). He reportedly could ‘bully’ inconvenient officers in Prasar Bharati and Doordarshan and ensure that ‘inconvenient ‘questions relating to deliverables as per contract were not raised or, if raised, were summarily brushed aside with the active support of the two top functionaries of Prasar Bharati and Doordarshan

36.
Loss to Government of India - Government of India / Prasar Bharati suffered a loss of at least 135 crore by awarding the contract for Production and Coverage of CWG, Delhi 2010 to SIS LIVE (partnership firm of SIS OB and SIS UK based firms) at a cost of 246 crore on the basis of a single bid.

37.
Government may decide on action against the then CEO, Prasar Bharati (Shri B.S.Lalli) and Director General (Doordarshan) (Ms. Aruna Sharma, IAS) and others who acted in concert with them for providing undue gain to SIS LIVE /ZOOM Communications Ltd.

38.
Certain actions seem to attract penal provisions under the Indian Penal Code and Prevention of Corruption Act. This aspect also needs to be separately investigated.

Understanding Seven Differences between Religion and Science –

Understanding Seven Differences between
Religion and Science –

1.
Religion is based on or believes in Super power possessing Humans who created Religion
Science - there is no super human being forever. Religion there is only one super human and his all other super naturals or his students work under his name.

2.
Religion got the super authority, that super authority gets the power from God or Super natural.
Science has no authority, science keeps changing and every one can try to prove or has right to prove that how that scientist is wrong or how his theory is wrong.

3.
Religion – If the head of religion or super natural is insulated or even his saying is challenged that person will get punishment which may result in cutting of hands, burning alive for questioning his super natural. This does not happen in Science, Science keeps changing with every new invention or finding.

4.
To spread the religion it has always stories of Magic.
Science does not believe in Magic, For Humans science itself is magic until the formula is found and phenomena are understood by humans. Magic stories in Religion , no methods are available to check those magic.

5.
Religion is based on the rule that super natural took birth or entered the body of xyz human being and then told that person the rules and theories and beliefs.

Science is one where rules, theories are invented with hard work; old theories are challenged and new are created.

6.
Religion no procedure is available to check does super natural really told that person or xyz person those theories who suddenly says he met God or super natural and now he got educated and knowledge.
No methods are allowed to test those theories, must follow them blindly without questioning.

Science, Scientist, inventor has to explain his theory to all the citizens and citizens have right to check his theory as they want and wish , and inventor has to show and prove his method which proves what he is saying is right.

7.
Religion Divides the nations, divides the villages, and even divides the neighbors.

Science brings together the society and community.
Only because of Science it is possible that blood of one human is given to other human to save the life.
Science is for society and Religion is for selfishness or for limited purpose.
