As we speak, there is a very fundamental flaw in India\u2019s Governance. The Head of the Executive branch of this Parliamentary Democracy has never been elected by any one<\/span> to any constituency by vote. Dr. Manmohan Singh, the Prime Minister of India is not an elected member. He is where he is because of a quirk in the constitution to avert a crisis if there arose one and someone from the nominated members of the \u201cElder\u2019s House\u201d \u2013 the Rajya Sabha \u2013 had to step in to handle the situation. What was to be an exception, was made into a rule.<\/p>\n So, now we have a Prime Minister who has never been elected to any Parliamentary seat in the world\u2019s largest Parliamentary Democracy but is the Executive Head simply because he is a nominated member to<\/span> the Rajya Sabha from a state he has never lived in.<\/p>\n And, he happens to be the most respected of<\/span> the politicians!<\/p>\n If the line of Integrity starts<\/span> that low, one wonders how low can it possibly get?<\/p>\n The Nexus <\/strong><\/p>\n As Benjamin Franklin left the Independence Hall after the second draft of the Constitution, he was stopped by a woman who asked \u201cWhat manner of Government have you bequeathed us, Sir?\u201d He replied \u201cA republic Ma\u2019am, if you can keep it<\/span>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Taufiq<\/span> Haji Gaffar had been evading arrest for several months by getting anticipatory bails from various courts. Finally, his detention order was issued on August 14, 2001 under COFEPOSA (the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act). His wife approached Delhi High Court<\/span>. Ram Jethmalani<\/a>, her advocate defended Taufiq in Delhi High Court is January of 2003.<\/p>\n On April 21st, 2003 P. Chidambaram<\/strong> \u2013 who was to later become the Indian Finance Minster on May 22, 2004 \u2013 defended the smuggler<\/a> who had defrauded the exchequer to the tune of Rs 45 crore. (see<\/span> the screen image at the bottom of this post)<\/p>\n On 19th December 2008, Nalini Chidambaram \u2013 wife of the then Indian Home Minister \u2013 P. Chidambaram, defended Kashi Nath Tapuria<\/a> in Calcutta High Court as she appeared<\/span> before Justice KJ Sengupta.<\/p>\n Nalini Chidambaram, Counsel for Kashi Nath Tapuria, on Friday filed a petition before Justice K.J. Sengupta of Calcutta High Court to be added as a party in the probate proceedings of the will of the late Priyambada Birla, wife of the late M.P. Birla. The petition stated that Mr. Tapuria<\/span> was the executor of the 1982 will of Priyambada Birla and also her brother. The application was supported by the Birlas, but Counsel for the Lodhas asked for filing opposition. The exchange of affidavits will be completed probably by January 15 and the matter will appear on the first available Friday after completion of the exercise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n (Please see the transcript of this video at the bottom of the post).<\/em><\/p>\n Kashi Nath Tapuriah, is a Kolkatta businessman, who is an accomplice of Hassan Ali, and\u00a0a money launderer with links to Hawala traders \u2013 used by Terrorists<\/span> networks from Pakistan. The Enforcement Directorate issued a show cause notice against Ali<\/a> for acquiring Rs 36,000 crores illegally. Tapuriah<\/span> shared that he was introduced to Hassan Ali by a \u201cSenior Congress Leader\u201d.<\/p>\n The probe has also thrown up \u2018evidence\u2019 against Khan\u2019s associate Kashinath Tapuria, who has said that two politicians, one of them a senior Congressman, had referred Khan to him during his days of financial difficulties.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Notice was also issued against Tapuriah separately<\/a> as well:<\/p>\n Separately, the department raised a demand of Rs580 crore<\/span> against Kashinath Tapuriah, a Kolkata-based businessman and alleged accomplice of Khan, and Rs20,<\/span>000 crore against his wife Chandrika Tapuriah, the official said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n At that time, Kashi Nath Tapuriah was defended by Nalini Chidambaram<\/strong>, the wife of P. Chidambaram. This was when P Chidambaram was the Finance Minister (2008) and both the Income Tax department and the Enforcement Directorate reported directly to him!<\/p>\n Concluding Remarks<\/strong><\/p>\n A democracy is as good as the people who have it. It is a governance of responsibility. A dumb, ignorant and apathetic population which is either not interested in politics (Governance) or does not have the clarity to see through the issues and the rot<\/span> \u2013 or worse still, does not have the will to fight or stand up for themselves \u2013 will soon become a slaved populace.<\/p>\n When one looks at the most fundamental ethics involved in ensuring there is no \u201cconflict of interest\u201d, one doesn\u2019t engage in activities that can conflict with judgment when one assumes a situation where he \/ she can affect the direction of a probe, rule, law or indictment.<\/p>\n But, here we aren\u2019t even talking about that conflict of interest<\/em>. In fact, that phrase itself seems completely meaningless. What citizens of India are confronted with are people who have the highest of powers and also have \u2013 for money, of course \u2013 defended the biggest criminals of the country.<\/p>\n When the Finance Minister and the current Home Minister of the country \u2013 and his wife \u2013 are defending criminals who have defrauded the country to levels of Rs 40,000 crores, and the Directorate which indicts these criminals ALSO reports to the same person \u2013 then it is indeed a surreal situation. While Nalini Chidambaram was defending Tapuriah, P. Chidambaram was the Minister of Finance and the Enforcement Directorate (which reported to him) was the one which was proceeding against Tapuriah.<\/p>\n Witnessing this, isn\u2019t it natural to ask the question \u2013 if the entire proceedings are gamed, then why the circus? For, media<\/span> is in cohoots<\/span> with these criminals and politicians anyway (More on that in the coming posts).<\/p>\n This brings me to the final point and the thing that outrages me the most \u2013 is the issue in India Corruption or Masochistically Apathetic Populace?<\/p>\n For, this level of subversion of a nation is NOT corruption. Surely, someone with the least sense of integrity in the media or the courts or the administration could have pointed out to it?<\/p>\n When the Home Minister and the Finance Minister is the one shielding the smugglers and the highest criminals, in courts in broad day light<\/span> \u2013 it is a challenge. A challenge by the most corrupt to the most apathetic. That, we can roughshod over you.. rape<\/span> you in broad day light<\/span>.<\/p>\n Ironically, the raped in turn smile and make jokes about how it pains! Apathy cloaked in Humor and sarcasm is a suicidal road.<\/p>\n There may be a cure for pain. But not for suicide.<\/p>\n ===========================================<\/p>\n Transcript of Vishwa Bandhu Gupta\u2019s Video:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was in the Income Tax Department as Commissioner, we had raided Hasswan Ali in Pune and his accomplice Kashinath Tapuriah in Calcutta. Mrs Nalini Chidambaram, wife of the Union Finance Minister Chidambaram appeared in the Calcutta High Court on behalf of Kashinath Tapuriah and got him the bail. I don\u2019t know how many hundreds of crores<\/span> this couple charged from Hassan Ali and Kashinath Tapuriah. How can he (Chidambaram) be in the GOM when he should be behind bars? He has no business to be there even as a Minister in this Government.\u201d<\/em> Image for Supreme Court Record of Proceedings<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\u201cThere has been a fake currency scam in the RBI. The CBI raided the RBI vaults in 2010 August. They found fake currency in the RBI. The Cabinet Secretary briefed the meeting and said it was a small thing. The template for printing was with a man called Roberto Giaoro. What he did \u2026 he deliberately minutely altered the template. He was supplying all the fake currency notes to ISI, which were all coming to India at the rate of Rs 50 for every Rs 500 note. In India they are selling the same at Rs 250 for every Rs 500 note and in Nepal they are available at Rs 150 for every Rs 500 note. These two men, (Pranab Mukherjee and Chidambaram) are doing nothing. They are nothing but henchmen of these powers (ISI and other terrorist groups in India and Pakistan)\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
