<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">I have been getting phone calls from Janata party workers from different places since this afternoon, to ask whether JP has merged with BJP ? </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">The reason for this flood of calls was Dr Swamy's answer to a question from a waiting TV correspondent after Dr Swamy met with Gujarat CM Mr Narendra Modi this morning in New Delhi.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Janata Party President said to the TV correspondents that ' I am an old Jansanghi. We are a parivar. Narendra Modi is an old friend for years, We have similar policies. We are willing to work together. If BJP wants, I am ready to merge my party with BJP' </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">May be the last sentence was too HOT a news for some correspondents. They flashed it immediately. India Today released it on its website,followed by India News Channel . Since India News TV channel was flashing it as 'Breaking news', it spread faster. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">But this should not come as a surprise. Janata Party is already part of the NDA. On most of the political ,social, economic issues the two parties think alike. Most of the Janata Party workers and office bearers have been active in it's earlier avatar Bhartiya Jana Sangh . Dr Swamy entered Rajya Sabha for the first time as a member of Jan Sangh only .</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">For past several years Janata party President Dr Subramanian Swamy has been a very vocal politician highlighting issues which BJP also swears by. Dr Swamy has emerged as a champion of the Hindutva cause through his speeches and active work on the ground.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Entire Hindu Community ( barring a few SICKularists) consider Dr Swamy as a leader who deserves the credit for restoration of staus-quo on Ram Sethu . But for his active role in courts ,the mark of Hindu heritage would have been destroyed by UPA government.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">We all know that it was Dr Swamy who persuaded Chinese authorities to open the doors of Holy shrine Kailash Man-Sarovar in 1980 . Dr Swamy himself went to Kailash Man Sarovar in the first group in 1980. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Be it the issue of religious conversion, the Ram-Lala temple in Ayodhya, the issue of management of Hindu temples and holy shrines, Tirupathi Devasthanam issue, the harassment and political vendetta against Shankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti peetham, the evils of caste system, fight against religious reservations to minorities, brutal violence against Baba Ramdev & his followers, Dr Subramanian Swamy has proved his might & resolve to fight.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">BJP only stands to gain by the merger of Janata Party as a new force will ,then ,be available to BJP.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Dr Swamy has always stood for consolidation of nationalist forces and has been fighting against anti national corrupt forces which now UPA leads. In this true spirit of consolidation of nationalist forces, Dr Swamy has made this offer to merge his party . If BJP agrees ,it will only boost the morale of the common worker of BJP also, who now counts Dr Swamy as a great patriot,statesman and a tall leader. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Janata party has all along supported the move to work closely with BJP and other like minded groups . In the national executive meeting of Janata party on 17th March in New Delhi ( later on endorsed fully by the national council meeting of Janata Party , which was attended by representative of 17 state units), the resolution was adopted to work with BJP and if necessary merge with BJP to consolidate nationalist forces. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Now since Dr Swamy has made it public through the media , it is for the BJP to respond. The nation is waiting . This unification of 'Janata-Sangh Parivar' is in the national interest. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">- Arvind Chaturvedi </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">National General Secretary,Janata Party</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i>Many different departments of the Government of India have been spending public money on Iftar parties .

Janata Party President Dr Subramanian Swamy has asked the External Affairs minister Salman Khurshid to ask whether the minister would consider similar funds for parties related to Hindu festivals also . </i></span></b><br />

regarding such expenditure. While the MoF's Department of Expenditure said
expenses on iftar parties are not allowed from the state exchequer — it also
said the host departments didn't seek its permission for such parties — other
departments maintained otherwise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in this regard." When asked under which rule, it replied: "There is
no rule. It is as per the convention." It, however, added that
"expenditure is met on shared basis in the ratio of 2:1 between the Rajya
Sabha Secretariat and the Ministry of External Affairs."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">The Lok Sabha Secretariat said spending public money on iftar parties was
allowed and that it has spent Rs 5.83 lakh on two such parties in 2010 and
2011. "Expenditure on iftar parties is met from the hospitality grant of
the Lok Sabha Secretariat," it added.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">The PMO's response to the RTI request, on the other hand, was interesting:
its reply to almost all queries about iftar parties was that "information
sought is not a part of records held by this office". The PMO has hosted
six iftar parties since 2004 at a cost of Rs 1.03 crore, which, it said, was
borne by the External Affairs Ministry (MEA) and the CPWD.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

parties, including the ones hosted by the PMO, since 2004. But to all other
queries on the matter, it replied: "No specific information
available".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I actually get to the objections that you have raised as far as the Jet-Etihad

The civil aviation ministry has stated in the Foreign Investment Promotion

look at the facts and lets leave conjecture aside. The Indian government has
not signed the bi-lateral agreement with the Abu Dhabi government so far. As

the Jet-Etihad deal has not been cleared by the FIPB the matter was deferred
again. As far as Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi's) clearance is
concerned, the matter has not been cleared by Sebi. As far as the competition
commission of India (CCI) is concerned, the matter has not been cleared by the
CCI as yet. So, perhaps are you being a bit premature in pronouncing the fact
that this deal ought to be scrapped?</span></b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN; mso-bidi-language: HI; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The world is facing a raft of security challenges, both traditional and new in kind. Asia, a high-flying continent with great political, historical, social and ethical diversity, is not immune from these challenges. The ongoing conflict in Syria, the resurgence of Islamic radical groups and rising tensions in territorial disputes among Asian nations has become a major source of instability and threat. Starting from Wednesday, the People in the know program will assess the security situation in Asia and China's role in bringing peace to the region. In the first edition of our series on Asian security, we take a look at south Asia with a special focus on India and Pakistan.<br />So how can China and India forge deeper mutual trust and solve their border dispute in a timely and peaceful manner? What efforts can China and Pakistan jointly make to tackle security challenges, especially those posed by extremism in the region?<br />Ni Hao, you're listening to <span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #000400;"><img border="0" src="http://english.cri.cn/mmsource/images/2006/12/31/webcast_07.jpg" /> </span></span></span><a href="http://english.cri.cn/08webcast/pik.htm" style="color: #666666; font-size: 14px; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: #ff7100;"><strong>People In the Know</strong></span></a>, bringing you insights into headline news in China and around the World, I'm Zheng Chenguang in Beijing.<br />We speak to <strong><em><span style="color: #0008ff;">Dr. Subramanian Swamy, former Cabinet Minister of Commerce, Law and Justice, Government of India, now President of India's Janata Party.

<span style="font-family: alegreyaregular, sans-sarif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Mumbai:</span> Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy said the increase in population among Muslims in India is due to the burgeoning illegal migration from neighbouring nation Bangladesh.<br />
<br />
"Growing population among Muslims is due to the migration from Bangladesh. The neighbouring country needs to be firmly told to take back their people," Swamy said at a book release function ‘Muslim Jansankhya: Ek Chinta' published in Marathi and Hindi.<br />
<br />
On Article 370 of the constitution for Jammu and Kashmir, Swamy said it can be repealed through a presidential notification. “There is no need for a parliamentary vote,” he added.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">New Delhi : Janata Party
President Subramanian Swamy on Monday said that any Telangana package should be
rejected outright, as nothing short of separate Telangana would do. There
should be no compromise on this basic demand, he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.75pt; margin-bottom: 14.05pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">A publication ‘A Rebuttal to
Visalandhra Goebbels Propaganda’ brought out by Telangana Development Forum,
US, to reject the claims of Vishalandhra Mahasabha against the demand for
separate Telangana State. The publication was released by Dr Subramanian
Swamy. The author Konatham Dilip ,Delhi TJAC Convener D Ramakrishna Reddy &
Sriram Vedire were present on the occasion. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.75pt; margin-bottom: 14.05pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Dr Subramanian Swamy praised
the effort of the Telangana Development Forum to counter the claims of
Vishalandhra Mahasabha. “In a democracy, it is important to challenge false
propaganda. Even during the Emergency, the false propaganda was challenged
through underground literature,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.75pt; margin-bottom: 14.05pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">The NDA, he said, is all for
Telangana and if the NDA comes to power, he will do everything in his power to
ensure the creation of Telangana. Dr Swamy said, “You are closest to achieving
Telangana. In 2014, we should have the celebrations meeting in Hyderabad, after
the creation of Telangana.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

never despair. One does not know when Telangana may happen,” he said. Citing
from history, he said when the Quit India Movement collapsed in 1944, people
gave up hope of achieving Independence. But it happened in 1947. Again, during
the Emergency, when he managed to escape, there was not even a whimper of
protest. “People used to ask me, how will things go on like this? I had no
answer. Indira Gandhi made a foolish decision and called elections and she lost
all over the country and she was defeated in her own constituency. When it all
seems impossible, things suddenly happen,” Dr Swamy said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Citing solid reasons for creation of Telangana, he said: “Andhra Pradesh is too
large a State; there is no dispute over language and it would be a credit if
there are two Telugu-speaking States. There has been a consistent demand for
separate State.” He rubbished the claim that Telangana is not viable
economically. If it is true then trade between States is always an option open
to it<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Party President Subramanian Swamy has asked China to accept the McMahon Line as
the border with India just as it did in the case of Myanmar to resolve the
vexed dispute. China should accept McMahon Line since it had accepted the same
line drawn at the same time in 1912 with Myanmar, Swamy said while speaking on
"China's relations with its neighbours" at the 2013 World Peace Forum
organised by China's Tsinghua University in association with Chinese Foreign
Ministry. "Such an acceptance will vastly improve India-China
relations," Swamy argued in a lengthy paper presented at the meeting
attended by strategic think-tanks from China and a number of other countries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21.5pt; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">"On the contrary for more than two-and-a-half
thousand years, India and China, two large neighbours and economic superpowers
by the then prevailing standards, have had good and peaceful relations based on
mutual respect and cultural exchanges, and in fact never had a single military
clash till 1962," he said. "Chinese grievance is that the border
delineated by British imperialists and colonialists and called the Sir Henry
McMahon Line was unfair to China, taking advantage of China's then weak
position," he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21.5pt; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">"Of course this is a contestable view,"
Swamy said. "The key question is what prompts today's China in regard to
Japan and India, to make a grievance of a long past historical injustice and unequal
treaties enforced by imperialists on a weak China, versus what makes China of
today to ignore such injustices in case of others such as in the now settled
China-Myanmar border dispute accepting the same McMahon Line" he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

pitch for India and China to work more closely on counterterrorism, even as he
voiced his support for the Chinese government’s efforts in tackling terrorism
in Xinjiang amid renewed criticism aimed at its policies after fresh violence
this week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

diplomacy conference co-hosted by Beijing’s Tsinghua University and the Chinese
Foreign Ministry, said India and China should come together, especially in
Afghanistan, considering their common concerns on terror. His comments came
during a week in which the issue has been in the spotlight in China following
violence in Xinjiang that left at least 35 people killed. While official media
described the incident in Turpan as an act of terrorism, many minority Uighur
rights groups have blamed ethnic unrest for the violence. U.S. State Department
spokesperson Patrick Ventrell said last week the U.S. was “deeply concerned by
the ongoing reports of discrimination” in Xinjiang. Dr. Swamy on Saturday hit
out at the U.S., saying its comments were “damaging to the fight against
terrorism”, adding that China needed “to review its relations with Pakistan
since some of these Xinjiang terrorists are also of Pakistani origin.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

beyond the boundary dispute. “India and China should be strategic partners, not
adversaries. The gain in Asian stability and international security would be
enormous,” he said. He also called on China to accept the McMahon Line - the
effective boundary in the eastern section of the border with India, which China
disputes – to end the row, as it had done with Myanmar. “Such an acceptance
will vastly improve India China relations,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The FIPB issued the impugned approval granting clearance, despite:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 1.5in; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">a) the Ministry of Civil Aviation's ("MoCA") explicit and clear suggestion that the impugned approval is against the letter and spirit of the Cabinet Note which delineated that the amendment was aimed at infusing capital into the existing cash- starved aviation companies;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 1.5in; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">b) MoCA's objection during the impugned approval stage <i>inter-alia</i>stating that the DIPP's Press Note 6 of 2012 needs clarification to the effect that the same applies to JV's to be incorporated also; .<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.75in; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">7. The basis of Cabinet discussion for allowing FDI was reflected in the underlying reasons for need of such policy change in the DIPP Press Note clearly, which read that FDI in foreign airline was permitted by the Government only in the carriers operating an airline as opposed to one desiring to set up a new airline.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.75in; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">8. It is reliably learnt by me that in the entire process of CCEA Note and decision, no consultation took place with the Ministry of Defence. It is disturbing to note the same as many airports in India, including Pune, Goa, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Agra and Bagdogra to name a few are Defence Airports, which are being used as Civil Aviation airports. It is also noteworthy to point out that, an application in the late nineties on behalf of Singapore airlines to set up a domestic airlines (with an indian partner) was rejected due to severe concerns raised by the Ministry of Defence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.75in; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">9. That Further Press Note No 6 (2012 series) dated September 20, 2012 inter alia mandates that scheduled operator's permit can be granted only to a company" the substantial ownership and effective control of which is vested in Indian Nationals" . Similarly, Section 1(ii) (c) of Schedule XI of Aircraft Rules, 1934 mandates, that (a) "substantial ownership" and (b) "effective control" of such entity (to whom the scheduled operator's permit be granted) be vested in Indian nationals. However, neither (a) "substantial ownership" nor (b) "effective control" are defined and explained either under the governing act i.e. the Aircraft Act 1934 and the Rules there under, the Press Note No.6 of 2012, or any other legislation/policy governing the aviation sector leading to a legislative vacuum.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.75in; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">10. There is a potent threat of foreign airlines structuring their business with the intent of exercising "effective control" of the airline due to their nature of investments being strategic rather than financial. This will expose domestic skies into the hands of foreign airline which is clearly neither the purpose nor the intent for opening the FDI to foreign airlines. Such potential threat will be even more pronounced in cases where a foreign airline partners with non-aviation business entities in India. In mature aviation sector such as United States and European Union, the statute and/or policies of the government explicitly define the terms (a) "substantial ownership" and (b) "effective control". Further, such definitions and their application/operation are specific to the aviation industry and is distinct from the general statute/policy relating to ownership and control in other businesses in order to protect the domestic skies from a foreign airline's (through its subsidiary or directly) possible sabotage and control, something that Is duly recognized under the principal instrument of international public air law - The Chicago Convention, 1944.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.75in; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">11.That further it is noteworthy to point out that media reports confirm that JV partners of AirAsia (India) Pvt. l.e. Tata Sons Ltd and Telstra Tradeplace Pvt. Ltd. Are only strategic investors and are neither a part of existing operating scheduled airlines in India nor Involved in any manner in the civil aviation sector. Therefore it becomes imperative that While evaluating, the Government must apply the doctrine of 'piercing the corporate veil', as has been used in foreign jurisdictions to identify and establish whether such "substantial ownership" and "effective control" is followed in letter and spirit. Such requirement and scrutiny by MOCA/DGCAmust not be perfunctory but be objective. It is essential that such compliance is not only on paper but infact in the hands of Indian nationals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.75in; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">12. That Media reports confirm that application of Air Asia (a new airline venture in India) has been approved by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB). And that Finance Ministry has given approval, Such decision under an existing legislative vacuum, is not only contrary to existing declared policy, but also in direct contravention to the rationale and decision relating to FDI permission to foreign airline in civil aviation sector by CCEA taken in September 2012 as well as contrary to the recommendations made by Committees constituted to identify specific issues plaguing the civil aviation sector in India.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 49.2pt; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">13. Hence the FIPB decision clearing Air Asia is not legally valid with either the requirement/need of the aviation sector, the recommendations made by various empowered committees, and in fact, directly contravenes the existing policy as per decision of the CCEA, and is a gross and blatant fraud which involves provisions in law of cheating, criminal conspiracy, violation of various provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act and not in the public interest since it is clearly an attempt to cause a collapse of many of our domestic airlines, creating a systemic risk for financial institutions, loss to public exchequer and a vital gap in the country's Infrastructure, Therefore I strongly recommend that you hold a comprehensive review and following which I am certain that you would revoke this impugned fraudulent Air Asia deal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 28px;">14. If you decide to direct a review of this aforesaid permission to allow this Air Asia deal, <a href="http://bharatkalyan97.blogspot.in/2013/06/subramanian-swamys-letter-to-pm-on-fipb.html" name="_GoBack" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.3s; color: #009eb8; display: inline; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; outline: none; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s;"></a>and its revocation, I shall happy to assist your government in the entire matter as the matter is of national importance and public interest involving not only economic considerations but also vital aspects of national security.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "inherit","serif";">Dear Prime Minister: May 29, 2013<br />
<br />
I write this letter on the subject of another developing mega fraud that also
impinges on India’s national security. This fraud is the so-called Jet
Airways-Etihad deal, that has two components—one of enabling Etihad to become
entitled by a MoU executed on 24.04.2013 by the Governments of India and UAE
[Abu Dhabi] on Bilateral Air Services vastly enhance Etihad’s air traffic,
measured by seat capacity, between the two countries. This arbitrarily
determined entitlement, tantamount to free provision of India’s sovereign
airspace to a foreign airline, hence fraught with serious national security
issues, is patently for sweetening the private purchase of Jet Airway’s
substantial equity by Etihad.<br />
<br />
What is distressing is that the minuted Note signed by Finance Minister Mr. P.
Chidambaram dated 22.04.2013 [Annexure 1] reveals that this rocket speed
clearance of the deal is on your “direction”. The enclosed Note in Annexure 1,
sanitized to delete file notings of officials and signatures [including of FM],
is self explanatory.<br />
<br />
News media reveal that the inked deal on bilateral air space use is to be
cleared by the Cabinet soon upon your return from Japan, and the Etihad equity
purchase is to be put up and cleared by the FIPB and signed by the FM around<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="aqj">7.6.2013</span>.<br />
<br />
My usually reliable sources abroad tell me that this deal if finally cleared
and implemented would destroy Indian airline industry, particularly Air India,
and empower a foreign airline and a nation known for money-laundering become a
hub of India’s passenger traffic.<br />
<br />
That is why the Parliament’s Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and
Culture in its Report submitted early this month on the Ministry of Civil
Aviation’s Demand for Grants (2013-14) stated [paras 77-94] that this Bilateral
Agreement [now being processed for execution at an uncharacteristic and
unprecedented pace], is reconsidered since in it is not in the national
interest. The Committee has also recommended [para 94] penalization of Jet
Airways for clandestinely selling its London route entitlement to Etihad even
before the deal is sealed, and without informing the Government of India.<br />
<br />
Therefore if you do not order a comprehensive review of these two interlocking
agreements i.e., [1] between GOI and UAE of use of air space for flights and
seats offered and [2] purchase of Jet Airways equity, you will be directly
responsible for an arbitrary and unreasonable deal in which windfall gains will
be made by private and foreign parties at the cost of the nation and hence
without any public interest.<br />
<br />
Prima facie, this would attract Section 13(1)(d) (iii) of the Prevention of
Corruption Act (1988) and make you and some others culpable under the said
Section.<br />
The common talk in UAE is that following the Supreme Court’s cancellation of
the 2G Spectrum licence of the Etisalat Telecom, which licence was illegally
bought by them from Swan Telecom, the illegal beneficiaries from that deal who
are highly placed in your government, have sought by this airlines’ deal to mitigate
formal and informal losses suffered by Etisalat and hence UAE. In this
connection, the undue interest shown by the Chairperson of the National
Advisory Council, Ms. Sonia alias Antonia Gandhi, in processing of these two
agreements at rocket speed is worthy of notice in the national interest.<br />
<br />
If you decide to direct a review of these two aforesaid agreements, I shall
happy to assist your government in the entire matter. Otherwise, aggrieved by
your disregard of public interest I shall approach the Supreme Court by way of
a Public Interest Litigation.<br />
<br />
Warm regards,<br />
Yours Sincerely<br />

publicity was a design of the Congress to create a rift in the BJP. No prime
ministerial candidate had been announced prior to polls. ‘’I will be the first

flow from one country to another: FDI is long term and ‘hot money’ the short
term. ‘’Foreign bank loans, investment in equities and bonds by foreign
countries and people come under the definition of hot money. It should not be
more than 10 percent in the country but has increased in the last seven to eight
years to 40 percent. It is a worrying factor since it can destabilise the
country’s economy,’’ he said and recalled the economic crisis in Japan in the
late 70s and in Latin America.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

‘’A US company would get loan at the rate of 2 percent form its bank in the US,
invest it here, use the cheap labour and reap riches while an Indian company,
which gets a loan at an interest rate of 12 to 18 percent, cannot compete with
it.’’<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

(An article "when crime is'nt minor" by Janata Party President Dr. Subramanian Swamy ( Pioneer) is being reproduced here. )<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>The juvenile accused of the Delhi rape case is not a petty unlawful who could be reformed. Instead, he acted like a hardened criminal who knew what he was doing. Imagine if Ajmal Kasab was a minor: Would we have handled him with kid gloves?</strong><br />
<strong>Centuries ago, a great thinker called Plato had stated what has now become a real-life scenario in India, “Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.”</strong><br />
<strong>On the unfortunate evening of December 16, 2012, a 23-year-old girl, a budding physiotherapy student, and her male friend were awaiting a bus at the Munirka bus stand around 9:30 pm. One bus conductor invited the two youngsters to board his private chartered bus on the pretext of dropping them to their destination. Once the girl and her friend boarded the bus, they realised that the conductor was a malicious person who, with four others, started making lewd advances. The male friend tried to intervene but was overpowered and beaten up with an iron rod. The girl kept fighting but was hit hard and fell down.</strong><br />
<strong>Thereafter, all heavens fell on the poor girl. On the floor of the speeding bus, the bus conductor and the five others, including the driver, took turns to rape her. But this was not enough for the bus conductor: He raped the victim twice, once while she was unconscious due to the trauma inflicted on her. Then, he inserted an iron rod into her private parts to wrench out her uterus as well as intestines. He explained to his associates that it was necessary for the destruction of evidence. After an hour of this inconceivable savagery, the victim and her male friend were stripped naked and thrown out of the bus into the freezing winter night.</strong><br />
<strong>After some delay the victim was admitted to Safdarjung Hospital where multiple surgeries were done to save her life. She fought bravely to live and in great pain conveyed her mother to “never let that conductor escape from law”. But the damage was so severe that even transplants of her organs were of no avail. On December 26, the victim, who displayed indomitable spirit to live against all odds and her determination to punish the guilty, was sent to a Singapore hospital in a comatose state to avail better treatment. But it was already too late by then as the girl breathed her last on December 29, leaving behind a nation whose conscience was totally shaken by the brutality of the incident. Everyone thought if this could happen in the most secured zone of the Capital at a time when Delhi was buzzing with people, then no one was safe in the country.</strong><br />
<strong>A WILY CRIMINAL</strong><br />
<strong>But the question remains: Why do we need to tell the account which happened one-and-a-half months ago? The story needs reiteration because it tells us that the bus conductor, who now claims to be a minor (below the age of 18 years), is not a petty unlawful who could be reformed; instead, he acted like a hardened criminal who knew what he was doing; he committed the act eagerly and tried to destroy the evidence of his heinous crime.</strong><br />
<strong>Also, the fact that the bus conductor acted swiftly to claim his ‘minor-hood’ shows his cold, demented mindset. He himself told the police that he was a juvenile and hence enjoyed special protection and waiver from criminal law. The police at the inspector level were stumped. A hidden hand moved swiftly to make the police “respect the law”, which is codified for delinquents under the age of 18 years in the Juvenile Justice Act, 2000 and as amended in 2006 and 2010.</strong><br />
<strong>Had this 18-year cutoff not been there, the accused would have been prosecuted under Section 83 read with Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and received a minimum punishment of seven years of imprisonment. But the trouble with the laws these days is that criminals know their rights better than their wrongs.</strong><br />
<strong>The accused was a few months short of 18 years of age and if we all acquiesce, he would not be prosecuted under IPC but “reformed and rehabilitated” in a homely atmosphere under Sections 2(g), 15 and 16 of the Juvenile Justice Act (2000), under which after a maximum of three years he would be let free. Even Ajmal Kasab, involved in the dastardly 26/11 Mumbai attacks, would have been treated ‘humanely’ had he attacked India when he was a few years younger.</strong><br />
<strong>The inspiration for this Act came from the United Nations Convention on Rights of Child 1989, the United Nation Standard Minimum Rules for Administration of Juvenile Justice (Beijing Rules) 1985, and the United Nation Rules for Protection of Children Deprived of their Liberty 1990. India is a signatory of the above mentioned conventions and rules. The Preamble and the statement of objects and reasons of the Act state the same expressly and categorically.</strong><br />
<strong>This Act is a piece of “beneficial”, not criminal law, legislation and has been formulated to protect the innocence of our nation’s greatest asset — its children and youth. But in the current case, the extreme malice and depravity with which the accused has allegedly committed the crime shows that it is not the action of a juvenile delinquent who the law supposes to be of tender age and mind and not fully capable of being responsible for his actions, but rather these are actions of the most evil of men for whom this beneficial legislation clearly is not meant.</strong><br />
<strong>BETWEEN THE LINES</strong><br />
<strong>The question for the nation is: Should we allow the cold print of a law, the Juvenile Justice Act, framed for children committing crimes like pick-pocketing, bicycle theft, etc, be used unthinkingly to benefit, by exempting from prosecution under criminal law, those committing heinous crimes such as rape and murder, which cannot be committed unless the culprit knew what he was doing.</strong><br />
<strong>Also, the Act is not in complete consonance with these conventions and rules. The Beijing Rules 4(1) describes the concept of age of “Criminal Responsibility” as for which there are various factors which have to be considered in deciding when and at what age would a juvenile be held criminally responsible for his/her actions. These factors include but are not restricted to moral and psychological development, individual discernment and understanding, seriousness of the offence involved, record and previous history of the juvenile, etc. Furthermore, there is no blanket ban or prohibition in not holding the juvenile accused accountable for his offences.</strong><br />
<strong>Article 17.1(c) of the Beijing Rules state that even though endeavour is to be made to avoid incarceration in certain situations/offences, sentence of imprisonment has to be passed not only to punish the offender but also to protect public safety. The UNCRC 1989 and Beijing Rules 1985 recognised that neither there can be any hard-and-fast rule nor can there be a blanket protection solely on age criteria, and in appropriate cases criminal behaviour has to be punished with lengthy imprisonment.</strong><br />
<strong>In the United States, the Criminal Justice System recognises the concept of age of Criminal Responsibility and juveniles who are 14 years of age and above and guilty</strong><br />
<strong>of grievous crimes are held responsible for the same. They are tried under the Criminal Justice System like an adult. The law in England recognises the fact that knowledge and ability to reason are still developing, but the notion that a 10-year-old (the age of Criminal Responsibility) does not know right from wrong seems contrary to common sense in an age of compulsory education from the age of five, when children seem to develop faster both mentally and physically.</strong><br />
<strong>Thus, we need to read into the juvenile age limit of 18 years, the UN Convention ordained caveat, which India has already ratified in 1992 that this age limit is subject to the Beijing Rules 4(1) and ascertainment of the juvenile not being emotionally and intellectually mature to know what he or she was doing is necessary. This has already been incorporated in Rule 3 of the Juvenile Justice Act but surprisingly, because of the Law Ministry’s poor drafting, left out of the Act itself!</strong><br />
<strong>Hence, the UPA Government must issue an Ordinance to clarify that a juvenile accused as below 18 years is subject to satisfying Rule 4(1) of the Beijing Rules; otherwise, the juvenile accused will be tried under the IPC. The juvenile accused must be made an example of today to keep our faith in our legal system and to provide justice to the Delhi braveheart.</strong><br />
<strong>I conclude with the words of Mahatma Gandhi: “It would conduce to national progress and save a great deal of time and trouble if we cultivated the habit of never supporting the resolutions either by speaking or voting for them if we had not either the intention or the ability to carry them out.”</strong><br />

Janata Party President ,Dr Subramanian Swamy has raised the issue of NAC members asking for clemency for Kasab ,the Pakistani terrorist ,who was hanged later.<br />
<br />
The text of the letter is reproduced below: <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";"><span class="usercontent">Dr. Manmohan Singh, <span class="usercontent"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">January 28, 2013.</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";"><br /></span></span>
<span class="usercontent">Prime Minister of India,</span><br />
<span class="usercontent">South Block,</span><br />
<span class="usercontent">New Delhi.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="usercontent">Dear Prime Minister,</span><br />
<br />
<span class="usercontent">With this letter I enclose a news clipping from today’s
Pioneer newspaper. From it, you can see two who are/or have been members of the
National Advisory Council, had written to the Rashtrapatiji seeking clemency
for the killer terrorist in the Mumbai 26/11 horror viz., Kasab, who had been
sentenced to death by the Supreme Court as not only rarest of rare but also
necessary for the “collective conscience” of the nation.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="usercontent">Since the NAC is a Government body set up by the
Cabinet Secretariat, and paid for from tax payers’ funds, it is imperative for
you to take appropriate action for this anti-national support to a brazen
terrorist from Pakistan who killed so many innocent Indians and tried to
terrorize the nation.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="usercontent">Since, that clemency plea was written with heir
designation as NAC member, hence, the Chairperson of the NAC is equally
culpable, judging by your Government’s standard of holding RSS as an
organization responsible for even ex-RSS workers, let alone office bearers.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="usercontent">I demand therefore that you either remove Ms Sonia
Gandhi from the Chairperson position or wind up the NAC. Ms Sonia Gandhi of
course has long term links with organizations which have been called terrorists
or terrorist- friendly. The late Rajiv Gandhi once told me that she financed
those Palestinian families which had lost a member who had been recruited as a
suicide bomber. He in fact asked me to meet PLO Chief Yassir Arafat to check if
the money she was sending was in fact reaching the families. Hence, I made a
trip to Tunis where Arafat was hiding those days, and met him on October 10,
1990. Arafat confirmed that the money was reaching the Habash group of the PLO
I had written about this in my book Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi (published by
Konark in 2000).</span><br />
<br />
<span class="usercontent">Ms Gandhi also keeps the company of a Pakistani lady
called Farida Ataullah, on whom the IB did a background check in connection
with Mrs. Indira Gandhi’s assassination, according to a recent book of a
journalist Tavleen Singh.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="usercontent">It is well known also that Ms. Sonia Gandhi financed
the education in UK of daughter of Ms. Nalini who was awarded the death penalty
by the TADA Court and which was upheld by the Supreme Court.</span><br />
<span class="usercontent">Hence, it is imperative that unless cleared of these
charges, Ms Sonia Gandhi is unfit to occupy any position in any Government
body. Therefore, lyou are duty bound to have her sacked from the NAC.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="usercontent">Yours sincerely,</span><br />
<br />

is essential to resolve an intrinsic paradox of Hindutva arising out of the
individual freedom afforded by Hindu theology. The individual-centric

example, to come to Kumbh Mela on their own, without a <u>fatwa</u> or
invitation, or travel subsidy, or even any publicity about date and place of
the Mela, and peacefully and without guidance or
dictation, perform their pujas and then depart. It is purely voluntary even as
the state does not provide any organization. This is individualism <i>par

Janata Party President Dr Subramanian Swamy today appeared before the Juvenile Court in Delhi to seek intervention in the Vasant Vihar mass-rape case .<br />
<br />
Dr Swamy cited Supreme Court cases to first establish his locus-standi in this case .The objective was to seek court's intervention to lower the age of prosecution in the mass-rape case.<br />
<br />
The court has fixed January 14 for the arguments, when the court will hear Dr Swamy's arguments "comprehensively". <br />
<br />
Dr Swamy said that the current age limit for juvenile crime makes no sense and it should be lowered to 14 years. When a person can commit rape & murder ,how can he be treated as 'juvenile', he asked. <br />
<br />
Dr Swamy had earlier sought rapists be tried under terrorists act, as it is an act of terror on women. He also has expresses his views that the rapists should get the harshest possible punishment ,which includes chemical castration. <br />
<br />
Dr Swamy will argue in the Juvenile court at 3 PM on january 14. </div>
