Cash for Vote Scam – Amar Singh Sent to 14 days Judicial Custody joins team of CWG scam stars –

Cash for Vote Scam – Amar Singh Sent to 14 days Judicial Custody joins team of CWG scam stars –

Cash for vote scam happened in Year 2008 but as politicians the king and owners of India were involved the investigative agencies did not do any progress.

The cash-for-vote scam involved bribing BJP MPs to cross-vote in favor of the Congress in July 2008 during the Indo-US Civil Nuclear Agreement.


The police report alleges that at Amar Singh's behest, Sanjeev Saxena, supposedly Singh’s secretary, bribed three BJP MPs. Suhail Hindustani, an activist of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, acted as a facilitator during the entire exercise that was videographed by a television news channel as part of a “sting operation”

Shortly after the sting operation was carried out, the BJP MPs had waved wads of currency notes and placed them on the table of the House, leading to much furore.

The “bribe money” and recordings were then submitted to the Speaker and a Parliamentary committee that enquired into the scam had recommended a probe.

The probe was conducted by Delhi Police which was slammed by the Supreme Court for its “non-serious approach” to the matter.

After the Supreme Court order the investigative agencies do something they started to take action against in Cash for vote scam.

But investigative agencies did not touch Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh I do not know why he was not arrested before this.

On Tuesday Delhi Court denied Bail to Amar Singh after that police took the action.

Investigative agencies waited and only took action when Court ordered them.
After his arrest Amar Singh was sent to 14-day judicial custody by a Delhi court.

After Rajya Sabha MP and former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh and two other accused - former BJP MPs Faggan Singh Kulaste and Mahavir Singh Bhagora - have been arrested and sent to judicial custody till September 19.

After that police took him to Tihar Jail and now Amar Singh has joined the team of 4 other Member of Parliament politicians who are also lodged in Tihar Jail.

Amar Singh is the fifth MP to be lodged inside Tihar Prison
Following are the 4 Politicians who are in Tihar Jail now
1. Rajya Sabha MP Kanimozhi
2. former telecom minister A Raja,
3. sacked CWG OC chairman Suresh Kalmadi
4. former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda

PTI reported that he was taken to Jail hospital first after landing in Tihar Jail
After that Jail officers decided to put him in jail number three. 15X10 feet cell in Tihar Prison.

Jail number three also houses Lalit Bhanot and V.K. Verma, both arrested for their alleged involvement in the CWG scam and Surendra Pipara, Hari Nair, Sharad Kumar, Sanjay Chandra, Vinod Goenka and Karim Morani all arrested in 2G spectrum case.

Amar Singh will not share any space with alone he will enjoy the privacy in Tihar Jail.
Mr. Singh has a ‘single-occupancy’ cell which is 15X10 feet in size and has a television set.

I do not know Tihar Jail got Dish TV or Tata Sky or Doordarshan.

I do not know Jail officers allow the accused to watch MTV or Fashion TV or Doordarshan News in Tihar Jail.

When petty offenders go to jail, petty offenders who go to Jail they share a small room with many petty offenders.

Common citizens when go to jail they do not enjoy anything in Jail.
But if you are rich you will get everything in Jail.

I do not know why the delay was made in this cash for vote scam.

I do not know from which Bank the notes were issued.
If police want they can find out the source of currency from which bank the money was withdrawn.

For Corruption demand death punishment or 1000 years jail term without bail and without pardon.

The privilege notice against Bedi came as she accused politicians of wearing "several masks" at the same time, drawing the ire of MPs from both Houses.

Prashant Bhushan said that “MPs take bribes to pass laws”.
Bhushan told, “if speaking the truth in public interest amounts to breach of privilege, then time has come for the country to review the whole notion of parliamentary privileges." He has been asked to file a reply by September 14.

History of Breach of Privilege Notice and Indian Courts –

March 1952 –
A journalist Homi Mistry was arrested in Bombay and taken in custody to Lucknow, to be produced before the Speaker of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly to answer a charge of breach of privilege, a constitution bench of the Supreme Court set him free since it was a breach of one of his fundamental rights:
Article 22(2) says that, that no person shall be detained in custody (beyond a period of 24 hours) without the authority of a magistrate.
Fundamental rights, the bench of five judges said, would override legislative privilege.

December 1958 –
In the case of Pandit M.S.M. Sharma v.Shri Sri Krishna Sinha and Others, [1959] Supp.1 S.C.R. 806, a portion of the speech made by a member of a Legislative Assembly had been expunged by the orders of the Speaker. Nonetheless, the speech was published in its entirety in a newspaper of which the petitioner was the editor. He was called upon to show cause why action should not be taken against him for breach of privilege of the Legislative Assembly and he challenged the notice by a petition under Article 32.

In this case of M.S.M. Sharma, editor of an English language newspaper, Searchlight, was called upon by the Speaker of the UP Legislative Assembly to show cause why he should not be proceeded in contempt of the House for publishing expunged portions of a member’s speech, a constitution bench of five judges (by majority 4:1) refused to interfere.

The court said that 1952 Judgment was not binding and Article 194(3) — privileges of a state legislature — took precedence over Article 19(1) (a).
Article 19(1) (a) — right to freedom of speech and expression
The court said that “to determine whether there has in fact been any breach of its privilege” It must be left to the House itself.

In this case Indian citizens lost the Freedom of speech and politicians won.

Year 1965 – Keshav Singh
Special Reference No.1 of 1964,[1965] 1 S.C.R. 412 known more commonly as Keshav Singh's case or the Privileges case, deals extensively with the scope of the privileges of legislative bodies.
The Presidential Reference was made in the following circumstances:
The Legislative Assembly of the State of Uttar Pradesh committed one Keshav Singh, not one of its members, to prison for contempt. The warrant it issued was a general warrant, in that it did not set out the facts which had been found to be contumacious. Keshav Singh moved a petition under Article 226 challenging his committal and he prayed for bail. Two learned judges of the Lucknow Bench of the High Court ordered that Keshav Singh be released on bail pending the decision on the writ petition.

The Legislative Assembly passed a resolution requiring the production in custody before it of Keshav Singh, the advocate who had appeared for him and the two judges who has granted him bail.

The judges and the advocate filed writ petitions before the High Court at Allahabad.
A Full Bench of the High Court admitted their petitions and ordered the stay of the execution of the Assembly's resolution.

The Legislative Assembly modified its earlier resolution so that the two judges were now asked to appear before the House and offer an explanation.

The President thereupon made the Special Reference.
Briefly put, the questions he asked were:
Whether the Lucknow Bench could have entertained Keshav Singh's writ petition and released him on bail;

1. whether the judges who entertained the petition and granted bail and Keshav Singh and his advocate had committed contempt of the Assembly;

2. whether the Assembly was competent to require the production of the judges and the advocate before it in custody or to call for their explanation;

3. whether the Full Bench of the High Court have entertained the writ petitions of the two judges and the advocate and could have stayed the implementation of the resolution of the Assembly;

4. whether a judge who entered or dealt with a petition challenging any order of a Legislature imposing penalty or issuing process against the petitioner for its contempt or for infringement of its privileges and immunities committed contempt of the Legislature

5. Whether the Legislature was competent to take proceedings against the judge in the exercise of its powers, privileges and immunities.

The adjectival clause "regulating the procedure of the Legislature" in Article 194(1) governed, it was held, both the proceeding clauses relating to "the provisions of the Constitution" and "the rules and standing orders."

The Supreme Court by a majority of 6:1, through an elaborate and learned opinion delivered by Gajendragadkar, C.J., held that in India notwithstanding a general warrant issued by the Assembly, the Courts could examine the legality of the committal in proper proceedings.
A special constitution bench of seven judges of the Supreme Court (in a presidential reference) reaffirmed the view expressed in the Searchlight Case (1959) — that Article 19(1) (a) could not be invoked when there was contempt of the legislature.

Now the time has come to review those powers of Parliament which control the freedom of Speech of Indian citizens.

In many countries codification of legislative privileges has taken place. Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Kenya, South Africa, Malaysia and Zambia are examples of this situation

Now the time has come that India should also codify the legislative privileges which will bring the clarity and understanding and equality among Indian citizens.

Its magic of democracy that servants control the freedom of speech of his master.

Today or tomorrow we Indian citizens will get the full freedom of speech.

For me I do not think Team Anna has done anything wrong including Om Puri.

If in your office one of the employee is sleeping what you will say?

If in your office few employees do not allow others to work what you will say?

If in your office your servants if through boots on each other or do the fighting using chair or hide the things then what you will say regarding that actions of your servants.

Now the time has come that Honorable Supreme Court of India should fix what actions or statements of Indian citizens will amount to lowering or defame the parliament.

If someone does not like what xyz is saying then one should ignore it or other option is ask him what is the problem why you are calling me uneducated?
Then solve his problem or by having debate let him know you are not uneducated openly and automatically if he is satisfied he will say I was under wrong impression and I was misled so I said that.

I do not support for any speech one should be sent to jail.
Only a speech which encourages people to murder or rape should be banned.
A speech which directly says and orders community to do any crime should be banned.

One should not be banned from expressing his free will and thought.

Strange Nation We live in and Say India is Shining Mera Bharat Mahan

Strange Nation We live in and Say India is Shining Mera Bharat Mahan

A nation where 70% Indians Earn Daily less than Rs.20

A nation where Rice is Rs. 40/- per kg and a SIM Card is free..

Where a pizza you have ordered reaches home faster than an ambulance or police, even if you were being murdered or having a heart attack..


Where a car loan is charged at 5% but an education loan, so necessary for our youth is charged an interest of 12%..

A nation where students with 45% get into elite institutions through the quota system and those with 90% are sent away because of merit..

Where a millionaire buys a cricket team, spending crores instead of donating the money to any charity. Where two IPL teams were auctioned at 3300 crores , yet still a poor country where people starve for two square meals per day.

A country where footwear is sold in AC showrooms, but the vegetables we eat, are sold on the footpath and very often next to garbage dumps.

Where everybody wants to be famous, not by doing good for others, but by looting others and finally getting their names in the newspapers through some scam or other!

It's a strange nation we live in, where complex buildings get ready within a year while public bridges, flyovers and sea links take several years even to get off the drawing board and another decade to be completed..

We are a nation where two brothers fight with each other for the nation's spoils, but the nation doesn't know that the two of them are cleverly looting the nation while we watch their mock battles..

We are a nation where political parties fight for the name sake and majority Indians just ignore because lack of knowledge or fear

We have malls, and sky-rises, with slums forming their boundary wall.

A country where men and women squat on railway tracks, with no where else to go. While watching them from windows, are couples with three bathrooms and one for the guests.

A country where politicians who are supposed to serve the people accept money from the same people they are supposed to serve, then take a salary from the government for their services to the people.

We are a nation where we talk in hushed whispers about the corruption in the country and then dig into our pockets to bribe a cop when we are caught cutting a red light.

We are a nation where Police will arrest you for planning a peaceful protest or fast but police will think 100 times before arresting a politician who is a criminal and will wait for the Supreme Court Orders

And we proudly say "MERA BHARAT MAHAN

2G Scam – ED Told Supreme Court FEMA violation of Rs.10, 000 Crore by companies involved in 2G scam

Thursday –
Enforcement Directorate inform Supreme Court of India that companies involved in the 2G spectrum scam had violated Foreign Exchange Management Act (Fema) to the tune of Rs 10,000 crore.


ED found FEMA violations to the tune of Rs 9,929.80 crore.
As per law ED could slap a fine three times the violation amount.
This means, ED under the Fema rules and law could slap a penalty of nearly Rs 30,000 crore.

Ed said that so far it has attached properties worth Rs 223 crore mainly relating to the Rs 200 crore paid allegedly by DB Group's Shahid Balwa to DMK controlled Kalaignar TV.


SC bench had asked the ED to complete the probe in 3 months of time but advocate Venugopal, appearing for ED, pleaded with a bench of Justices GS Singhvi and AK Ganguly for six more months’ time to complete the probe.

He said that ED's investigations had spread to Jersey Islands, Isle of Man and Cyprus from where foreign investments came into telecom companies through a large number of front companies.
Documents obtained on the basis of letters rogatory issued to Cyprus disclosed 7 new front companies in Channel Island. We will now be sending LRs to Channel Island to get details of the transactions,"

CBI told to Supreme Court that investigation in the 2G spectrum allocation scam has shown "violation" of norms during NDA regime when late Pramod Mahajan and Arun Shourie were the telecom ministers and said the then finance minister Jaswant Singh would be examined.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has told the CBI that Mr. A Raja followed and went strictly by the book, and that the Prime Minister and then Finance Minister P Chidambaram had signed off on his course of action.

Janlokpal Bill and Congress Government Lokpal Bill

October 26, 2010 –
Arvind Kejriwal wrote letter to Prime Minister to draft a new Lokpal Bill with suggestions.

After that fight for the strong Lokpal Started that is Janlokpal Bill.

April 5, 2011 –
Anna Hazare went on a 'fast-unto-death' demanding that the Jan Lok Pal Bill

Apr 9, 2011 –
Govt. issued a notification in the Official Gazette on formation of a Joint Drafting Committee.
Pranab Mukherjee is the Chairman and Shanti Bhushan is the co-chairman.

It was decided that 5 members from civil society and 5 members from Government of India will discuss and draft a strong Lokpal Bill for the Indian citizens.

Jun 21, 2011 –
Joint Drafting Committee failed.
They do not agree on most important parts of Lokpal Bill.
And government drafted its own Lokpal Bill, a bill which will never end the corruption from India.
A bill in which complainant will go to jail for 2 years and accused a bribe taker for only six months if found guilty.

After that Again Anna Hazare wrote letters and then went on fast before that Anna was arrested and he was sent to Jail.
For me that arrest was not legal.

After 12 days of fast without food Government only agreed for 3 conditions passed a resolution so Anna Hazare can break his fast.

Now India has to see that we get Strong Lokpal Bill this year or after next 42 Years.

Please do not bring caste and religion in making of strong Lokpal bill.

Who ever brings caste and religion in this making of bill you should ask him,

Sir do you think only your caste people pay bribe?
Does other class and caste people do not pay bribe?

A leader who brings caste and religion in making of good law for the benefit of India is not a good leader for your community as well as for India.

Know the Reasons why the National Sports Bill 2011 was rejected by Government of India

Know the Reasons why the National Sports Bill 2011 was rejected by Government of India
National Sports Bill 2011 Bill or law is good law proposed by Ajay Makan.
On Tuesday, the Union Cabinet rejected Mr Maken's new Sports Bill.

Ajay Makan is the sports Minister of India.



Ajay Makan needs the public support Please support Ajay Makan so he can make a good bill into a law.

It will bring accountability and transparency in sports.

It will bring all sports organizations under Right to information act.

Most Important proposal in this law is the age.

Under this law BCCI will come under the Right to Information law.
This will allow every Indian to know about financial transactions of the BCCI.

Remember BCCI gets tax exemptions from Government of India.
Remember they use police service and they get land for the cricket grounds from the Government of India.
Thus they should come under right to information law.
T20 tournament – the Indian Premier League (IPL). The IPL is currently being investigated by multiple agencies and a parliamentary committee for tax evasion and foreign exchange violations.
Every Indian citizen has a right to know from where money is coming into IPL.

The another provision of this bill say that who head sports federations must not be older than 70.

I think 70 is too much 60 is perfect no one above the age of 60 should head the sports federations.

Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar, Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah, Congress minister of state Rajiv Shukla all are also leaders of sports bodies.
1. Sharad Pawar is the president of the ICC,
2. Farooq Abdullah is president of the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association
3. Rajeev Shukla is a BCCI vice-president.

Sharad Pawar is 71 years old
Farooq Abdullah is 73 years old
Vilasrao Deshmukh is 66 years old.

Now I hope you got the idea why the National Sports Bill was rejected by Indian government.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED Registered Case against Baba Ramdev and his trust for violations worth Rs.7 Crore

Updated – Friday, September 02, 2011


The Enforcement Directorate (ED) said that they found evidence of Ramdev and his trusts that is his various trusts including the Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust and Divya Yoga Mandir Trust and Bharat Swabhiman Trust receiving financial aid from the USA, Britain and New Zealand.Updated – Friday, September 02, 2011


Now The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a case under the provisions of
Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) against Ramdev Baba and his trusts.

ED believes that Ramdev Baba and his trusts have broken the foreign exchange laws.

I read that IPL and BCCI also done something like this do not know what happened to those cases.

Ramdev and his trust reportedly received Rs 7 crore from Britain.
ED has slapped a case of foreign exchange violations worth Rs. 7 crore.

In a gift Ramdev Baba received Island in a Scotland from his followers.
the Enforcement Directorate had asked UK Government to share records of the purchase of The Little Cumbrae Island.
Ramdev's trust claims the island is valued at $2 million. The Enforcement Directorate says it is well over $20 million.
Now ED is also investigating that deal of Gift in which Baba Ramdev received Island as a gift.

Now The ED is verifying the holding patterns and other details of the companies through the Registrar of Companies (RoC) and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

ED is also probing that if Ramdev Baba or his trust has broken any RBI guidelines.
50 of his companies and trusts are under investigation.

Media reported that ED is investigating 2 transactions in which Baba Ramdev and his trusts sent money outside of India.
1. $300,000 transferred to a London bank
2. $80,000 sent to Madagascar in Africa.

ED has also written to officials in the island nation of Madagascar.

Baba Ramdev said he has not received any notice from the ED yet.

Why now the action is taken?

Why action was not taken the day Baba Ramdev received the gift?

Why action was not taken the day money was sent outside India?

Baba Ramdev is supporting Anna Hazare.
Baba Ramdev is saying bring the black money to India.
Baba Ramdev is saying declare all the black money as the national property of India.

Baba Ramdev is doing or talking which Common Indian citizens are afraid to do.

Let us hope we will get the speedy justice in this case. So Indian citizens will know Baba Ramdev is guilty or innocent otherwise next 50 Years the case will go on and it will become harassment for the honest people.

Updated – Friday, September 02, 2011

Know 32 Salient Features of the National Sports Development Bill 2011

Know 32 Salient Features of the National Sports Development Bill 2011
Mr.Ajay Makan is the Union Minister of State (independent charge) for Youth Affairs and Sports

The Salient features of the Sports Development Bill 2011 are:
1 - The Bill has been formulated to celebrate the spirit of sport and fair play, imbibed the philosophy of Olympism. The Preamble of the Bill begins with this essence serving as a motivation towards drafting of the Bill.


2-The Preamble of the Bill also states that this Bill does not intend to transgress into the independence of the National Sport Federations and the National Olympic
Committee. The Bill only seeks to imbibe the practice of good governance accepted around the world in the Indian scenario.

3 - The Preamble has also addressed the public concern of accountability of these sport bodies. In the Preamble it has summarily stated that the Bill seeks to recognize these sports federations as bodies performing public functions. It has also sought to address the issues of sexual harassment, age fraud, impediments to Right to Information, speedy resolution of sport disputes, anti-doping, transparency and good governance.

4- The Preamble also states that this kind of legislation is of essential importance in the
Current scenario, since there exists a state of flux as to sports in India. But the reach and
Effect of sport and working of sporting federations in India is felt worldwide.

5- Chapter VII deals with essential conditions that have to be incorporated by the NSF and others in the bye laws and constitution. Broadly hey have been enumerated in Section 15 of the Bill and are retirement age for members as 70 years, inclusion of athletes in the decision making process, ensure that 25% of the membership and voting powers is held by athletes

[Section 15(1)(d)], the Union Minister of Sports shall not be eligible to contest for post in NOC or NSF [Section 15(1)(g)(vi)] and restriction on the term of Office Bearers to two terms of four years each[Section 15(1)(g)(vii) and restrictions of concurrent holding of positions by Office Bearers in NSFs [Section 15(1) (g) (ix)]

6- The voice and representation of an Athlete/Sportsperson has been missing in the
Top echelons of sports governance in India. Under Section 4 of the Bill, an effort has been
made to constitute a National Sports Development Council which is to be headed
by an Eminent Athlete (a sportsperson who has been conferred with national or
international awards).

It comprises of a vast representation from all facets of sports like
members from the National Olympic Committee, Paralympic Committee of India,
National Sports Promotion Board, Vice Chancellor of Sports University, sportspeople, sports science specialist, National Anti-Doping Authority, Sports Authority of India, Government representative, Sports law specialist, sports journalist and sport NGO’s.

7- A very important thought behind the formation of the Council under Section 4(3) is that seven members have been sought from the actual sports people playing the sport.

Importantly the control of the Council has also been retained to voice the opinion of the Athletes in India with the Chairperson being an Eminent Athlete.
