[IAC#RG] भारत के मुख्य न्यायधीश के नाम खुला पत्र ( कोल गेट का भाई टोल गेट )

सेवा में,
भारत के मुख्य न्यायधीश,
उच्चतम न्यायालय,
नई दिल्ली।

विषय : पूर्वनिर्धारित एवं पूर्व सूचित आमरण अनशन को टोल प्लाजा प्रबधक
द्वारा जबरदस्ती गैर कानूनी तरीके से हटवाने, गलत व्यवहार कराने, हत्या
और अपहरण का प्रयास करने तथा भ्रष्टाचार करने पर कार्यवाई के संबंध में।
महाशय,
विदेशी और देशी कंपनियों के गठजोड़ से बनी मेसर्स सोमा आईसोलक्स कम्पनी
द्वारा कई नियमों और अनुबंधों की अवहेलना करते हुए सासाराम के पास टोल
गेट बनाकर कई वर्षों से अनैतिक वसूली की जा रही है। बनाए गये सड़क का लगभग
पूरा पैसा संभवत: वसूला जा चुका है । स्थानीय लोगों और गाड़ियों के लिए
बनाए जाने वाले सर्विस रोड का निर्माण जानबूझ कर जनता को लूटने के लिए
पूरा नहीं किया गया है । न तो सिक्स लेन बना है, न ही फ़ोर लेन की समय पर
मरम्म्त ही होती है और न ही अनुबंध के अनुसार सभी नागरिक सेवा और अन्य
सुविधा जैसे यातायात नियमों का अनुपालन, जरुरत वाले जगह पर ट्रैफिक
सिगनल, चौराहों और तिराहों की क्रौसिग पर जरुरी रंबल स्ट्रीप, प्राथमिक
चिकित्सा सुविधा, स्पीड नियंत्रण व्यवस्था, वेब्रीज आदि उपलब्ध करायी गयी
है जबकी इन सभी कामों के लिए जनता से कई वर्षों से पैसे वसूले जा रहे
हैं। इस कारण समय-समय पर दुर्घटनायें होती रहती हैं। दुर्घटना स्थल पर इस
कंपनी की कोई सेवा पिड़ित व्यक्ति को नहीं मिलती है और न ही बाद में कोई
सहयोग मिलता है ।
टोल प्लाजा की दूरी शहर से 10 किलोमीटर दूर होना चाहिए, जबकि सासाराम
नगरपालिका क्षेत्र से टोल प्लाजा की दूरी लगभग 3 किलोमीटर ही है । दो टोल
प्लाजा के बीच की न्यूनतम दूरी 60 किलोमीटर से कम नहीं होना चाहिए जबकि
मोहनिया टोल गेट की दूरी 50 किलोमीटर से भी कम है । एक ही प्रकार का
टैक्स एक रोड टैक्स के नाम पर तो एक टोल टैक्स के नाम पर सरकार जनता से
दो बार ले रही है। सरकार और ठेकेदार रोड टैक्स और टोल टैक्स दोनों ले रहे
हैं तो जनता को सर्विस रोड और 6 लेन दोनों सुविधा भी देना चाहिए था।
पुराने सड़क को ही उखाड़ कर 4/6 लेन बनाया गया जो की सर्विस रोड का काम कर
सकता था और 4/6 लेन अलग बनाए जा सकते थे। फ़िर से सर्विस रोड बनाने का
अनावश्यक बोझ जनता पर डाला जा रहा है इससे देश को भारी नुक़सान हुआ है।
सासाराम से टोल रोड पर 2 किलोमीटर चलते ही आमस (गया) तक का टोल टैक्स
लिया जाता है। मोहनिया टोल गेट से मलवार, सासाराम टोल गेट की दूरी 50
किलोमीटर से भी कम है जबकि दोनों तरफ़ का एक ही टैक्स लिया जाता है।
आम आदमी पार्टी, रोह्तास, बिहार इकाई अनैतिक वसूली रोकने के लिए आवेदन
राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग एवं परिवहन मंत्रालय सहित सभी संबंधित अधिकारियों और
केंद्रीय मन्त्री को भी भेज चुकी है। परन्तु अभी तक कोई उत्तर हमें
प्राप्त नहीं हुआ है । स्थानीय जिलाधिकारी एवं उपविकास आयुक्त के साथ
दोनों पक्षों की तीन बैठक भी हो चुकी है। अध्यक्ष सह जिला एवं सत्र
न्यायधीश , जिला विधिक सेवा प्राधिकार, रोहतास (सासाराम) को भी आवेदन
दिया गया था जिसे कार्यवाही के लिए जिला पदाधिकारी और पुलिस अधीक्षक को
भेजा जा चुका है। परिवहन मंत्री श्री नितिन गडकरी नें संभवतः हमारे आवेदन
के आधार पर यह ब्यान संसद में दिया था कि "जिन सड़क या हाइवे की लागत
वसूल हो चुकी है, वहां टोल टैक्स खत्म कर दिया जाएगा। साथ ही, जहां काम
पूरा हुए बिना टोल टैक्स लेना शुरू कर दिया गया है, उस पर भी रोक लगाई
जाएगी।" यह कंपनी बहुत बड़ी बहुराष्ट्रीय कंपनी है। यह समय से पहले भी काम
पूरा करने की क्षमता रखती है, परन्तु यह जानबूझकर सड़क का निर्माण पूरा
नहीं कर रही ताकि सड़क के मरम्मत की अवधी के अन्तिम वर्ष में सड़क बना यहाँ
से चली जाए और मरम्मत तथा अन्य सुविधाओं पर होने वाले खर्च को चुरा ले
जाए। साथ ही उसे अपना पैसा भी कम निवेश करना पड़े, पैसा जनता से पहले ही
वसूल ले। देश के हर कोने में भूमी अधिग्रहण में विलम्ब का बहाना बनाया जा
रह है। ठेकेदार, राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग प्राधिकरण, और स्थानीय प्रशासन एक
दूसरे को दोषी बता कर देश और देश की जनता का अहित कर रहे हैं, जबकि अन्दर
से इनकी मिलीभगत है। ठेकेदार इनके सह्योग से अपने हित में मनमाने ढ़ंग से
नियमों और प्रावधानों में परिवर्तन भी करा लेते हैं, जो कि देश और जनता
के हित में नहीं होता है। देश के बाकी हिस्सों में भी यह कंपनी यही
गोरखधंधा कर रहीं है । समय पर सड़क नहीं बनाने के कारण इस कंपनी पर
हर्जाना भी लगाया जा चुका है और वह हर्जाना भी जनता से वसूल कर भरती है।
ऐसी स्थिति में इसके अनैतिक कमाई में से सरकारी अधिकारियों और नेताओं के
भी अनैतिक लाभ लेने की संभावना से इनकार नहीं किया जा सकता है। यह लूट की
व्यवस्था बदलनी चाहिए।
हमारी माँग पुरी तरह से जायज है और हम 20 अगस्त 2014, दिन बुधवार को टोल
प्लाजा गेट, मलवार, सासाराम पर अवैध वसूली बंद कराने के लिए आन्दोलन भी
कर चुके हैं। इस आवेदन पर कार्यवाई होती है तो इसका लाभ पुरे देश को
मिलेगा, पुरे देश में जाल की तरह फ़ैले ये लूट गेट पर नियन्त्रण लगाया
जाना शुरु हो जाएगा। सर्वोच्च न्यायालय में एक मुकदमा सिविल अपील सं -
4611/2014 में जो अनियमितता और लूट की सिकायत पायी गयी थी, वह आज भी
दोहराई जा रही है। यह एक प्रकार से न्यायालय को धोखा देना और अवमामना
करना भी है।
हम इस देश की सभी जिम्मेदार संस्थान विधायिका, कार्यपालिका और
न्यायपलिका से गुहार लगा चुके हैं। व्यापक जनहित में कोई कार्यवाही न
होने के कारण हमें फ़िर से आन्दोलन करना पड़ रहा है, न चाह्ते हुए भी सरकार
पर त्वरित करवाई करने के लिए दबाव बनाने हेतु 13/10/2014 को जिला
मुख्यालय पर धरना तथा 14/10/2014 को टोल गेट पर अनशन किया गया, जहाँ
हमारे साथ गलत व्यवहार भी किया गया। इसके लिए ठेकेदार, राष्ट्रीय
राजमार्ग प्राधिकरण, स्थानीय प्रशासन, राज्य सरकार, केन्द्र सरकार और
अन्य संवैधानिक संस्थाएँ भी जिम्मेदार हैं। मैं देशहित और जनहित में
व्यवस्था परिवर्तन के लिए 2010 से ही आंदोलनात्मक रास्ता अपनाता रहा हूँ।
जिसमें धरना, प्रदर्शन, आमरण अनशन, सविनय अवज्ञा आन्दोलन (कानून तोड़ना /
सिविल डिसआडर / नाफरमानी), गिरफ्तारी देना और जेल जाना भी शामिल है। आज
की व्यवस्था में सूचना अधिकार कार्यकर्ताओं और व्हिसिल ब्लोअर
कार्यकर्ताओं को हिंसा और झुठे मुकदमों का भी शिकार होना पड़ता है। उक्त
कंपनी के भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ कोई कार्यवाई न होने के कारण टोल गेट पर
आमरण सत्याग्रह अनशन तथा सिर्फ एक लेन का रास्ता रोककर सांकेतिक सिविल
नाफरमानी का काम किया जा रहा था ताकि विरोध स्वरूप गिरफतारी भी दी जा
सके। उक्त लेन से आवागमन बंद हो गया था। टोल गेट के कर्मचारी और अधिकारी
मेरे पास आए थे, मैंने उन्हें अपने आमरण अनशन और गिरफतारी देने का इरादा
और कारण बता दिया था और पुलिस को सूचना देने का अनुरोध भी किया था। कुछ
देर बाद मेरे खिलाफ साजिश करके एक डम्फर को मेरे लेन में जबरदस्ती घुसाया
गया। मुझे कुचलने के लिए भी चालक पर दबाव बनाया गया। जब चालक आगे नहीं
बढ़ा तो मेरे हाथ पैर टाँग कर किनारे वाले लेन में भिंगे हुए सड़क पर डाल
दिया गया मेरा समान भी सड़क पर फेक दिया गया जिसमे धार्मिक ग्रंथ गीता और
कुरान भी था। थोड़ी देर में वहाँ पर एम्बुलेंस ले आया गया और मेरा अपहरण
कर कहीं ले जाने की तैयारी की जाने लगी। मेरा कुछ समान भी गाड़ी में रख
दिया गया। परन्तु उसी समय हमारे जिला संयोजक आ गये और मोबाईल से क्लिप
लेने लगे तो मेरा समान उतार दिया गया और एम्बुलेंस को हटा लिया गया। उनके
सी॰सी॰ टी॰वी॰ कैमरे में सारे साक्ष्य मौजूद हैं। वे साक्ष्यों के साथ
छेड़छाड़ कर सकते हैं, अत: उनके कम्प्यूटर का हार्डडिस्क जप्त किया जाए
और विडियो क्लिप का सी॰डी॰ बना कर मुझे भी उपलब्ध कराया जाए। पुलिस
अधीक्षक और जिला प्रशासन को घटना की सूचना देने के बावजूद पुलिस नहीं आयी
तो इस संबंध में एक संक्षिप्त प्राथमिकी शिवसागर थाना में 14-10-2014 को
ही दर्ज करा दी गयी थी।
हम आपसे निम्न आग्रह करते हैं :-
1. टोल प्लाजा निश्चित दूरी पर ले जाने तथा अनुबंध के अनुसार सभी कार्य
100% पूरा होने तक टैक्स वसूली पर रोक लगाया जाए। सर्विस रोड और 6 लेन
रोड दोनों बनने तक रोड टैक्स और टोल टैक्स दोनों पर रोक लगाई जाए।
2. अनुबंध का समय से और पूरा अनुपालन न होने के कारण ठेकेदार, राष्ट्रीय
राजमार्ग प्राधिकरण, और स्थानीय प्रशासन तिनों के जिम्मेंदार लोगों पर
जुर्माना लगाया जाए।
3. नये अल्प समय सीमा के अन्दर अनुबंध के अनुसार बचे सारे कार्य पुरा
करने और सुविधा देने का विषयवार उल्लेख करते हुए सपथ पत्र लिया जाए,
अन्यथा अनुबंध का समय विस्तार न किया जाए।
4. टोल सड़क का उपयोग की गयी वास्तविक दूरी के हिसाब से टैक्स का निर्धारण किया जाए।
5. अब तक हुई सभी दुर्घटना में मारे गये लोगों और घायल हुए लोगों के
परिजनों को इस कंपनी से पर्याप्त मुआवज़ा दिलाया जाए।
6. ठेकेदार कंपनी के बही खातों और फर्जी खर्चों की CAG अंकेक्षण कराया जाए।
7. टोल गेट घोटाले की CBI जाँच हो।
8. मेरी हत्या और अपहरण का प्रयास करने और मेरे साथ दुरव्यवहार कराने का
साजिश रचने वाले टोल प्लाजा प्रबंधक को तत्काल गिरफ्तार कर सजा दिलाया
जाए।

कोल गेट का भाई टोल गेट
……………………………

तथाकथित विदेशी निवेशक,
लूट रहे इस देश को बेशक,
घोटाले करते भर भर पेट,
कोल गेट का भाई टोल गेट ।

सर्विस रोड तो हमें दिए नहीं,
हमारा पुराना रोड भी खा गए,
फोर लेन सही मरम्मत नहीं ,
सिक्स लेन का ठेका पा गए ।

विदेशी लूट कर ले ही जा रहे,
कुछ नेता - अफ्सर भी खाता है।
हमारे पैसों से ही रोड बनाना,
क्या यही निवेश कहलाता है ?

प्रशासन, प्राधिकरण और कंपनी,
तीनों मिल बाँट कर खाते हैं,
कोर्ट पूछती विलंब का कारण,
तो एक- दूसरे पर दोष लगाते हैं ।

नागरिक सुविधा, सुरक्षा मानक,
कागजों में देखे जाते है,
इनकी खामियों के कारण,
कई लोग जान गवाते हैं ।

[IAC#RG] Why BJP cannot reveal the list of those who stashed money abroad?

Beyond the drama of revealing the list of those who stashed money abroad there is one fact that seems to be lost.  That is money is needed to run elections.   Some of the same people who donate funds to all political parties (including BJP) to run elections could very well possibly be in the list.   

Our current election financing makes the politics beholden to the rich.  (Unfortunately the great democracy US is no exception where they just legalized corruption).   While parties like BJP would use those badly needed funds to run elections, most parties starting from Congress use that as a reason to amass literally billions of dollars personal illegal wealth.  This has engendered dynasties across India starting with Nehru family.  Note that though India's election system has limitation on how much a candidate spends it has no limit on what party would spend.   The problem is those who donate do not wish to be named and they donate both sides so that they gain no matter who wins.   Moreover, that money may even be unaccounted money.

In 1991,  leading Swiss magazine Illustre Schweiger reported many world leaders who stashed wealth in Swiss banks.  This is around the same time wealth of Marcos from Phillippine was divulged and was later successfully pursued.    That article reported Rajiv Gandhi had an account with 2 billion US dollars.  That is drop in the bucket.  Since India independence, increasingly since liberalization,  per respected Global Financial Integrity, India has lost 400+ billion dollars,  just based on under invoicing (well known technique), and it is just part of the story.   Today tax havens exist all around the world, including India!!!!   Did you know that the locations where these tax havens exist are also vacation resorts?

Last year we traced the journalist in Switzerland who wrote the 1991 Illustre Schweiger article but she was not willing to cooperate, mostly perhaps due to the Swiss laws that protect the account holders.   We even consulted the Swiss attorney who pursued Marcos wealth and he said he cannot pursue until Indian Government authorizes it.   Why would those who loot give authorization in the first place?   Here is the problem.   Even if we pursue, there has been very little success around the world to get back the wealth stashed away in safe havens.   (Even US success with Swiss banks was based on a whistle blower list and US is a powerful country that was able to put lot of pressure).  We need to understand that Swiss and other safe havens exist to protect those who deposit, not those who were looted.   It is a continuation of colonization and imperialism, just a different form.

We need to think through this holistically.   We need to stem the future looting.  We need to change financing of India's elections.    There should be some way of public private cooperation just like US has and we can improve on it.   We also need to put stringent limits on pursuing cases of politicians who amassed personal wealth so that they do not drag for ages like that of Jayalalitha.    Courts should nationalize the wealth of all the illegally amassed wealth both in India and abroad.   At least in case of Jayalalitha and even Robert Vadra they amassed wealth in India, but those like Sonia have neatly stashed away in safe havens, perhaps even Vatican banks which are all difficult to return.   From what I understand, back in 2009 Sonia negotiated with Italian premier to got good terms in Italian amnesty scheme to convert all the looted funds to accounted funds!!!    This web of things make us wonder where we are going with all this.   

But try we must and do our best to get back the money, but we need to be rooted in realism and work hard to stem future corruption.   Let us start with Participatory notes.

Regards,
Satya

FM Arun Jaitley: NDA's approach on black money doggedly persistent, not adventurist

By ECONOMICTIMES.COM | 18 Oct, 2014, 03.16PM IST

"The NDA government stands committed to detect the names, prosecuting the guilty and making them public," Jaitley wrote in his blog.

"Nobody has ever suggested that the names should not be made public. They should be made public in accordance with the existing due process of law," he reiterated.
 NEW DELHI: Seeking to clarify the NDA government's stand on the issue of black money,Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Saturday said, "The NDA government will not withhold any information, including names of account holders who have stashed black money abroad, from the public; but the names will be revealed after following the due process of completing investigations and reaching conclusions about quantum of unaccounted money." 

"The NDA government stands committed to detect the names, prosecuting the guilty and making them public. We are not going to be pushed into an act of adventurism where we violate the treaties and then plead that we are no longer able to get the cooperation of reciprocating states," Jaitley wrote in his blog. "Such an approach may actually help the account holders. Adventurism will be short-sighted. A mature approach will take us to the root of the matter," he added. 

"Any premature and out of court disclosure of the names of account holders would not only vitiate the investigations but will enable such account holders to get away with their offences. It will also violate India's Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) with other countries and will choke receipt of all further information from those countries," Jaitley went on to elaborate. 

"All that the Government has requested the Supreme Court is to clarify that it has not prohibited the Government of India to enter into Treaties with countries wherein a commitment may be made by the Government to maintain confidentiality of information received as per international standards," he said. "If such a commitment to maintain the confidentiality is not given we will not receive any information about Indians hiding their money in other countries including offshore financial centres and tax havens. Thus the clarification sought from the Supreme Court is only to facilitate collection of information about illegal money stashed abroad," he added. 

"On October 15, 2014, a team of officials led by Revenue Secretary and comprising of Chairman, CBDT has signed a Joint Statement with the appropriate authorities in Switzerland with regard to investigation into black money stacked in Swiss banks," Jaitley said. He went on to explain the four important aspects of that agreement which are: 

(i) With regard to the list available with India of account holders in the HSBC, where Indian tax authorities have conducted independent investigations, the Swiss would provide India with details upon our furnishing of adequate evidence in this regard. 

(ii) Whenever India has some information/ documentary evidence, the Swiss would confirm the authenticity or otherwise of that evidence. 

(iii) This would be done in a time bound manner. 

(iv) Discussion would now start on a bilateral agreement on automatic exchange of information in the banking system. If this bilateral arrangement is arrived at, it will be an important milestone in detection of black money held by Indians in the Swiss banks.

Re: [IAC#RG] CORRUPT POLITICIAN HAS THE LAST LAUGH AND JUDICIARY BECOME LAUGHING STOCK

Hi!
Our SC judges are of 2 types. One type who give super judgements and some proud moments when they give balanced judgements against Establishment and Celebrities e.g. Judgements against Jaylalitha and Sahara's Subroto Roy. On the other hand 2nd type of judges give judgements which are anti-people and give us feeling of depression! e.g. granting of Jaylalitha's bail!

The questions uppermost in our mind are: 1. When will our courts give speedy judgements? and 
                                                                    2. When will they learn to give balances judgements which are not anti-people?

The well trained gang of sycophants maintained by the corrupt politicians conduct  chorus of orchestered protest when the convicted politician is  in jail, as if the heaven has fallen down. While  the convicted politician  coming  out on bail has no sense of shame,  the sycophants celebrate the event as if the particular politician has  conquered the world. The media gives them the publicity that they badly want and  which they do not  really deserve.

These wealthy  politicians convicted on corruption charges get bail in a matter of a few days. However,  thousands of lesser mortals in India languish in jail  for several years unheard of by the judiciary.

While the politician coming out on bail has the last laugh , the judiciary is becoming the laughing stock.

Re: [IAC#RG] CORRUPT POLITICIAN HAS THE LAST LAUGH AND JUDICIARY BECOME LAUGHING STOCK

This system is  meticulously designed to safeguard and protect , only those people who can amass wealth by  legal or illegal method,. People will respect only those, who can distribute money to the greedy masses. A battery of senior lawyers from Tamil Nadu, many are rich and might flew to New Delhi with an intention to witness the bail application hearing. The court room was jam packed. Every body wants to show their loyalty towards their leader. Why they are doing  that ? for any mental satisfaction ? No, it is done only with an intention to get more fame and money . Then where is their self respect gone  ?   If jaylalitha was poor lady and not going to enjoy any power or positions this kind of attitude would have been there? Definitely not  , so that is the power of position and status, they can commit any crime , that will not create any stigma , victim of a rape case will face stigma because our system does not treat a rape victim even at the status of  a corrupt political leader.. 
This is not a system at all this is rotten and no need to reform this system , need to be  demolished  it completely

Madhu Purnima Kishwar

One of the most unfortunate tendencies in India's political discourse is to reduce every issue into a "for" versus "against" proposition following the pattern of school-college debating society's style of engagement with issues.  This propensity for polarizing all issues into two extreme positions an important reason why almost every issue leads to a permanent stalemate and we rarely move towards solutions..

"Love-Jehad" has come to be one of the latest additions to a meaninglessly polarized debate on a sensitive issue.  On the one hand Love-Jehad has been portrayed by Hindutva groups as a sinister and well planned conspiracy to seduce, abduct, blackmail or coerce young Hindu women to convert to Islam under the guise of love affairs with Muslim men.  On the other hand, the "secular" opponents of Hindutva are projecting it as a case of "freedom of choice" in marriage.  They castigate the campaign against "Love-Jehad" as a conspiracy of obscurantist Hindu groups to keep the sexuality of Hindu women under the control of Hindu patriarchs.

Let's try and sift the chaff from the grain of both sides:
To begin with let us be clear, even the radical Hindutva groups do not object to genuine marriages between mutually caring individuals even if they be a case of Hindu-Muslim union.  A good example of this is the marriage of film script writer Salim Khan with a Maharashtrian Hindu woman.  Salim Khan neither eloped with nor abducted his wife.  He secured the family's consent and did not insist on his wife abandoning her faith and family culture.  Both the husband and wife not only follow their respective faiths but also fully respect each other's religious sensibilities and rituals.  In their bedroom the wife has her puja sthal replete with Hindu deities while Salim Khan has a dedicated space for his namaz.  The entire family celebrates both Hindu as well as Muslim festivals.  Their sons have also gone for inter-faith marriages and follow the same inclusive lifestyle.  Therefore, these marriages have neither evoked social disapproval nor invited any hostility among Hindus.  If anything Salim Khan's family is often held up as an example of inter-faith harmony.  However, Muslim fundamentalists do look upon Salim Khan's life style with hostility

Re: [IAC#RG] CORRUPT POLITICIAN HAS THE LAST LAUGH AND JUDICIARY BECOME LAUGHING STOCK

Dear Sir
It is true our trust in the system i.e the politicians or judiciary is diminishing by the day. We all feel helpless and frustrated  after we can see corrupt people out of jail on flimsy grounds. . The words from mouth are forgotten to suit the convenience. GOD ONLY CAN SAVE THE COUNTRY

RE: [IAC#RG] IAC's position on homosexualtity

16/10/14
 
Dear Mr. S.Roy,
I have already posted my comments on this subject and I fully support the resolution proposed by you.
To my mind the key word in the resolution is " 10 millenium recorded history" Essentially it shows the intrinsic strength
and resilience of the values which have stood the test of time whereas other old civilisations have fallen by the wayside. And this is what amazes the world except the Indians.
Those who consider my thinking is old and outdated, let me say that I had a very liberal education and I have seen the Islamic,Budhist and christian culture as exist today in various parts of the world.
Deviant human behaviour in matters of sex should be treated as exception and not the rule and does not warrant enactment of seperate laws. If something is wrong in our law enforcing agencies,correcting them is a different issue.
What the US and Europe does is modern, everything else is medieval and outdated. We certainly are living in a new brave world.
I suggest that on various issues that we discuss,you as moderator, give finality after ascertaining the views and the same subject should not be discussed again and again.

The IAC movement having carefully considered the sense of the members,
now proposes the following draft resolution on subject of
homosexuality and allied matters like regulation of prostitutes.

"That India Against Corruption opposes the arbitrary and divisive
categorisation of Indian citizens and other persons resident within
the territory of India to frame and/or amend laws and/or policies to
provide special benefits to any person or groupings of persons within
the territory of India.

That India Against Corruption renews and reiterates its position that
the well established body of criminal laws in India should remain
essentially unchanged and not be tampered with.

That IAC firmly denounces and opposes all foreign forces, and their
Indian lackeys, which are meddling with India's polity, including its
laws, to divide and destroy India's multi-ethnic peaceful secular
culture and society, evolved over 10 millennia of recorded history."

The discussion is open, as this is a core issue for IAC ...

Shri Manish Sinha,
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, ("TRAI")

BY EMAIL

Sir,

SUB: Objections to Draft TTO (59th Amendment) submitted on behalf of INDIA AGAINST CORRUPTION.

We thank the Authority  for the opportunity  to comment on the proposed TTO amendment/s.

Please find below our brief objections / comments to the subject draft TTO amendment/s.

1) That we, the India Against Corruption 'jan andolan', firmly oppose the extension of the TT order for mandatory reporting of tariffs to the ISPs.

2) Our reasons for this lie in clause 7 of the TTO 1999 which is completely discriminatory for the small consumers vis-a-vis the corporate and bulk users whose negotiated tariffs are exempt from reporting. As a consequence Telcos / ISPs are selling way below cost to corporates but gouging the unorganised general consumers. Accordingly, India Against Corruption has decided to organise the general category of telecom and internet consumers to negotiate better tariffs for their communication, and oppose such discriminatory and predatory amendments which cause us to doubt the integrity of the person/s proposing it.

3) Nowadays with convergence between Voice and Data networks, IAC fails to see why, say, a telecom / data provider RCOM (Reliance ADAG) is offering highly attractive call + data packages to certain groups for youth to communicate with each other, but will not offer the same facilities to our body's very substantial membership, who are in a different age group to communicate with each other.

4) Similarly, we also fail to see why the almost free tariff loot of MTNL for public servants is exempt from reporting, whereas only the vastly over-priced schemes available to the general paying public are being reported to TRAI and to Parliament to depict that this telco is in the best of heath.

5) Likewise a 5 / 7star hotel gets all broadcast television channels, including premium foreign channels, for as low as Rs. 75 per receiver, whereas the same package is around Rs. 325 to the ordinary consumers. Some VIP customers of course get free connections which are unreported.

6) We say that reporting exemption for small ISPs, is a loophole waiting to be exploited.

7) Accordingly we call for a level playing field, in that all telecom tariffs and connections must be reported equally to the regulator and should also be made available under RTI to those citizens interested in having such information on application.

Submitted in the larger public interest of behalf of IAC. We would like to be able to comment on other comments received.

With best wishes

yours faithfully

Re: [IAC#RG] Time to render justice to Sadhvi Pragya - let us wipe thisblot of shame on what is done to a Sadhu and a woman

On the issue of both Governance and Justice, I would like to put forward a thought for mulling over.

Would it not be advisable to promote authority at community level? Of course there ought to be a check, the check being intervention of a higher authority say the Government and higher courts, when a complaint is lodged by the affected.

At present the pseudo intellectual seems to try and rule the roost, guided solely by their own understanding of all kinds of freedom sans responsibility / accountability.

Now, I can understand why Sarbjeet Roy  is such an interesting person. He is alleging all possible motives and collusions to my work. Thanks Sarbjeetji for such new insights into my work.

Well, to respond to Mr. Devender, the Indian judicial system largely involved the local residents. Advantage is the locals always knew who is who and what he does. The deliberations were held in open meetings, almost all acquaintances/ residents of the village. This limited the chances of the litigants lying.
At initiation level, the litigants followed a custom. Each would get into agreement to invite two-three people from each side and allow them to deliberate and pronounce judgement. In case of disagreement, though rare, any of the litigating parties  could approach a larger village gathering. If one of the  litigants was still not satisfied, he/she could approach a multi village gathering. The last was in practice in khap areas like West UP, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab. In rest of country, the highest court of appeal was village panchayat. In the khap areas, the British had accepted thee supremacy of local customs and preferred not to interfere.

Below is extract from a book on customary practices in erstwhile Punjab.

"Pax Romana could be said to have influenced even British effort to induct the customary usages of rural communities into a system of customary law in the Punjab. The British Government's attitude to custom was described by Michael O'Dwyer's concluding lines of his speech in 1915, at the Conference on Customary Law in Simla: "The problem before us in the Punjab is unique. Other Provinces in India, have as a rule, the Dharma Shastras and the various commentaries on them for the Hindus and the Shariyat and the Hadis for the Muhamaddans . . . Here we have elected to be governed by custom. We have no body of feeling that condemns our tribal customs as a whole as antiquated or unsuitable. No
desire for uniformity, no sense of injustice involved in the maintenance of the existing system.Our function is therefore to uphold, not to destroy." Consequently, the process of assimilation of custom into the legal frameworkof rural society in Punjab was done at various stages but the final shape was given by the enactment of the Punjab
Laws Act IV 1872. Therefore, even though the root of Punjab custom was tradition and was in several ways
"coincident with popular feelings and necessities" nevertheless they (Punjab customs) became the law of the
province by a single statute."  

The above extract is not focussed on judicial system, but, relates to it. It only serves to highlight the role of local customs, traditions, and many of these were related to dispute resolution.
In rest of country too, the judicial system worked similarly. Please visit any far away village in any corner of country and you would see such systems still in operation.
A friend , Faizul, from Bengal told me about such systems in their society. Similarly, in Assam, South India etc.

Yes, there were deficiencies too. If the village gathering was hijacked by influential landlord or a purohit, or anyone else, it led to skewed justice. So, wheresoever, people could ensure a wider participation in the jury, the decision were just and quick.

Much can be discussed. This is for now.

Dear All

Question: If Mr Diwan Singh (Ridge Bachao Andolan) is so concerned
with the poor quality of "British" laws and seeks their abolition in
favour of "khap" system, then why did he and his so-called 'andolan'
go to Supreme Court in Vasant Kunj malls case with Prashant Bhushan as
his advocate ?

Since I have asked the question, let me also provide 1 possible opinion.

Ans: Because these dubious NGOs and the people who promote them, are
oftentimes nothing but proxies for mafias. In the Vasant Kunj Malls
case, because the Delhi High Court had stopped construction in Vasant
Kunj in "Sultangarhi" matter in an absolutely water-tight judgment,
the land mafia arranged many NGO rascals to file an absolutely bakwaas
PIL with bakwaas counsel to quickly get contrary orders in an
unrelated proceeding in SC. Since it was very valuable land on which
the malls (DLF, Ambience etc) were 80% constructed and stopped by
'Sultangarhi'  judgment, such dubious andolans came in very handy to
bypass Sultangarhi judgment, in 2006 (if I recall correctly), by
throwing their case.
