Is India a “Dynastic Democracy”
? :
India is faced with a terrible situation, created
because of the “Proxy War”, being carried out by Pakistan, through its
Terrorist Front Orgnaisations. At this juncture India ought to have stood
as a One Nation united with solidarity and firmness prepared to take strong
steps against Pakistan, since Pakistan is whole-sole fully responsible for
allowing the Terrorist Activities to be used from Pakistan’s Land against
India. Whereas on the one hand even at this critical juncture of such a
terrible situation, the Government Machinery is actively involved in an
effort to equalise Smt. Sonia Gandhi with that of Mahatma Gandhi, at the
very heavy cost of the Exchequer vis-a-vis the tax payer’s money. On the
other hand, taking advantage of a weak leadership, Mr. A R Antuly, though a
Cabinet Minister had no scrupules to make an anti-national statement, by
raising doubts by a conspiracy theory behind murder of Mr. Karkare, thus
not only strengthening the very hands of Pakistan, but in a manner giving
it an upper hand.
Recently, a full page advertisement, with the following
contents, was published in the Newspapers including Times of India, Delhi
Edition, dated 13th December, 2008, by the Ministry of
Information and Broadcasting, Government of India:-

INDIA SPEAKS IN ONE VOICE TO
ISOLATE AND DEFEAT TERROR
|
In the entire advertisement, the word “Gandhi” is
mentioned at two places. At one place, the word Gandhi is used as the “Land
of Gandhi” and at another place, it used as “Smt. Sonia Gandhi”.
In the Four Corners of the entire advertisement, name or photo of Mahatma
Gandhi was not seen. This simply suggests that some political game plan of
the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is working behind it, to
equalize Smt. Sonia Gandhi with the “Father of the Nation Mahatma
Gandhi”, by misusing the control of the reins of the powers, and at the
heavy cost of India’s Revenue Exchequer. This is not the first such
attempt. In the year of 2007, United Nations’ Organisation (UN) declared
Mahatma Gandhi’s Birth day on 2nd October, as the International
Non-violence Day. Smt. Sonia Gandhi neither representing the “Gandhian
Values”, nor heading the Government nor the State, but by misusing the
control over the reins of powers of the Prime Minister and misusing her
name tagged with the word ‘Gandhi’, Smt. Sonia Gandhi, decided to represent
on that occasion in the UN, giving a wrong message to the whole world
community, that she is representing ‘Mahatma Gandhi’. As against her this
aforesaid attempt, another full page advertisement was published in the
leading Newspaper of USA : “New York Times” dated 6th October, 2007. The said advertisement the brought
out to highlight that on 2nd
October, 2007, about 500 Indians gathered and protested outside the
UN, against Smt. Sonia Gandhi’s aforesaid doings. In the aforesaid
advertisement of the New York Times, various serious charges against Smt.
Sonia Gandhi and Shri Rahul Gandhi were also leveled.
In fact, through the aforesaid advertisement of Times of
India, published on 13th December, 2008, Government of India
tried to impress that UPA Chairperson and Congress President Smt. Sonia
Gandhi is above the Constitution, that is why, Ministry of Information and
Broadcasting, Government of India, without name and photo of
Mahatma Gandhi claimed that India is ‘Land of Gandhi’, to send a message
that this Land is of Smt. Sonia Gandhi (alone).
However, after Mumbai attack, UPA Chairperson and
Congress President Smt. Sonia Gandhi made an Appeal that “our 1st
task is to restore faith of people.” Now the question arises that in view
of her effort to keep the entire nation in dark, about her allegiance to
the Italian Constitution, where this pronouncement fits in. At one point of
time Shri Lal Bahadur Shastriji made an Appeal for skipping one time meal
by way of fasting in a week for the sake of the country, which was
overwhelmingly responded by all sections of the society. It is a sad augury
that with or without her knowledge, all the concened respective public
authorities, having misused their official positions,
engaged themselves to keep the relevant information, under raps as a
secret COVERT, by refusing not to disclose the respective Information,
by misinterpreting the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005. Therefore, under
such circumstances, how can she hope to expect that being a citizen of
India, I can repose my faith in her leadership, since reposing of
faith in her leadership depends upon the heartfelt feelings, based on the
integrity, honesty and loyalty to the constitutional provisions and laws of
the land. Similarly other Citizens, who are not biased for any reason in
favour of Smt. Sonia Gandhi and Shri Rahul Gandhi, before reposing their
faith might also want to know the true facts, about their honesty about
their allegiance to the Constitution of Italy. On another day, the Prime
Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh also says that "I am a politician only by
accident. Teaching is my first love.” With reference to Mumbai attacks he
says that 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. There is no doubt that individually,
Dr. Manmohan Singh is a decent, honest, sincere and scholarly person, but that does not mean that he
is equally and honest political administrator? Otherwise, he must not have
accepted his nomination as Prime Minister of India, nominated/assigned by
Smt. Sonia Gandhi.
This is the reason that Afzal Guru
has not been put on the scale of justice, till date.
Smt.
Sonia Gandhi has been playing the game of hide and seek by hiding the fact
from the Indian Citizenry, regarding the legality of the impact of being an
‘Italian Citizen by Birth’,
upon herself and Shri Rahul Gandhi, since under the Italian law they never can renounce their “Right
to Citizenship of Italy”, as it undoubtedly prevails permanently, irrevocably,
unequivocally and forever, and even if they might have renounced their
Citizenship of Italy, it is always recoverable at any time even in remote
future, on the expiry of one year from the date of their declaration to the
effect in the prescribed manner. Thus, the so-called renouncement is always
and permanently only temporary in character and nature and never final and
irrevocable. Therefore, their Italian Citizenship prevails on hold, till
they decide to recover it, by using their absolute right to recover it,
guaranteed under the Constitution of Italy and Citizenship Law of Italy.
Therefore, only after hiding
such facts, they solemnly affirm (or swear) to bear true faith and
allegiance to the Constitution of India under Article 84(A) and / or
Article 99 of the Constitution of India, violating the provision of Article
102(1)(d) of the Constitution of India, since their allegiance to a foreign
State (ITALY) acknowledged and prevails permanently, unequivocally and irrevocably under the
Constitution of Italy and Citizenship Law of Italy.
After the General Election for the 14th
Loksabha, Congress Parliamentary Party elected Smt. Sonia Gandhi, as its
leader, not Dr. Manmohan Singh. The Constitution of India also does nowhere
empowers anybody to assign her/his election in favour of any other person.
Whereas, she had to do so, under the compulsion of specific situation, as
it is reported that she was restrained from oath taking by the then
President of India, His Excellency Dr. A. P. J. Kalam. I am still trying my
best to establish the authenticity of this report. However, in this
connection, some extracts from the message of Dr. Subramanium Swamy, are
very much relevant. He says:-
· “It
is fair to assume that this report of the President's decision is correct
since the President had before him my petition dated May 15, 2004 making
just that point--- that Ms. Gandhi's citizenship is conditional, and in
particular she cannot be the PM legally. The President had also given me an
appointment at 12.45 PM on May 17, 2004 to explain my submissions in
person, which I did. I also told him that I would challenge such a
constitutional appointment in the Supreme Court just as I had in 2001 when
the Tamil Nadu Governor illegally swore in Ms Jayalalitha as Chief
Minister.”
·
Manmohan Singh is a decent and
scholarly person, but in driving the Maino clan out of India. It will
however not be long before Sonia will give Manmohan Singh marching orders,
and he will march out meekly. We should not expect him to resist.
·
Patriotic Indians should thank
the President of India (Dr. APJ
Kalam) for having the courage (for
which he pays the cost, as he was not allowed second term of the
Presidency) by citing a legal hitch to dissuade Ms. Sonia Gandhi from
staking her claim to form the government in May this (2004) year. She therefore did not as expected on May 17th,
2004, become the Prime Minister of 1 billion plus people of India. It can
now be said that the nation has been saved from a monumental, devastating,
and permanent injury to India's national interest and patriotic psyche of
Indians. And therefore every effort that can be made in a democracy should
be made to ensure that Ms. Sonia Gandhi is permanently out of reckoning for
any public office.
In
1991, Dr. Manmohan Singh was appointed as Finance Minister of India, as it
was the exclusive prerogative of the then Prime Minister Shri Narsimha Rao,
to appoint him as a cabinet Minister. But, under the Indian Constitution,
Prime Minister must be the (actual) leader of Parliament, in the first
place, not depending upon any other leader. When Dr. Manmohan Singh was
nominated by Smt. Sonia Gandhi for the office of the Prime Minister of
India, he was nowhere the leader of the Parliament. Since, he is nominated
by Smt. Sonia Gandhi, he is always obliged to take approval, for all the
important decisions, from Smt. Sonia Gandhi. For instance, I must refer one
example with regard to one important appointment, which prima-faciely may
justify my accusation. Between June 1982 and September, 1987, Mr. Wajahat Habibullah, IAS, was
Director and then Joint Secretary in the Prime Minister's Office, New Delhi. Even after
assassination of Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi (October 1985), he
continued to be in the Prime Minister’s Office, with the new Prime Minister
Shri Rajiv Gandhi. He used to accompany the Prime Ministers, on tours of
different parts in India. It is a well known fact that in almost all such
tours, Prime Minister Shri Rajiv Gandhi, was accompanied by his wife Smt.
Sonia Gandhi. Thus, Mr. Wajahat Habibullah could have full personal
acquaintance with Smt. Sonia Gandhi, as well. In response to my application
under Section 6(1) of the Right to Information Act, 2005, dated 10th
December, 2007, after about one year and after repeated reminders, through
Memo Letter No. F. No. 29018/8/2008-AIS-II dated 3rd December,
2008, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Department of
Personnel and Training, New Delhi supplied half information replying that “Every effort has been made to locate file/records relating
deputation of Shri Wajahat Habibullah as Secretary of Rajiv Gandhi
Foundation under Rule 6(2)(ii) of the IAS (Cadre) Rules, 1954, but these
could not be traced. It has, however, been verified from the Executive
Record of Shri Wajahat Habibullah that during the period October, 1991 to
June, 1993, he was on central deputation and posted in the Cabinet
Secretariat, New Delhi.”
After
the assassination of the former Prime Minister Shri Rajiv Gandhi, during the period of October, 1991 and July
1993, Mr. Wajahat Habibullah, performed his duty as Secretary of Rajiv
Gandhi Foundation, being a
Trust Constituted by Smt. Sonia
Gandhi, thus directly worked under her. A question is still
unanswered that whether for such period Mr. Wajahat Habibullah, received
salary and other perks from Rajiv Gandhi Foundation or from Cabinet
Secretariat. However, this fact suggests that personal acquaintance of Smt.
Sonia Gandhi helped in the appointment of Mr. Wajahat Habibullah, as the
First Chief Information Commissioner of Central Information Commission.
There
is no doubt about the honesty and sincerity of Mr. Wajahat Habibullah, but
he is also a human being. At-least he might feel obliged in his heart of
hear by responding for the favour he got by getting the appointment as the
First Chief Information Commissioner. Prima-faciely this appears from one
of my RTI case, relating to the President’s Secretariat, the disclosure of
which could have directly affected the faith of the people, caused and
created through wrong message spread over the entire nation creating a climate
of impression that in the nation’s larger interest, Smt. Sonia Gandhi has
sacrificed the Office of the Prime Minister.
In fact, on 17th May, 2004, at about 10.00
am, I sent a Fax Message to the then President of India, His Excellency Dr.
A. P. J. Kalam, giving reference of Smt. Sonia Gandhi’s Italian Citizenship
and opposed her claim to be invited to form a new Government. After
enactment of the Right to Information Act, 2005, I sought information about
the action taken by His Excellency President of India on my aforesaid Fax
Message. President’s Secretariat replied that my aforesaid Fax Message was
duly considered by His Excellency the President of India. As this was only
half the Information that was sought, the matter finally reached the Court
of Hon’ble Chief Information Commissioner Mr. Wajahat Habibullah, and he
illegally invited/inferred the illegal interpretation from the “PREAMBLE”
of the Right to Information Act, 2005, contrary to the world wide settled
principal of the jurisprudence that the “Preamble cannot be part of
the Law but it may be used only to interpret ambiguous areas of the law
where differing interpretations present themselves. The Preamble is useful
as an interpretive tool only
if there is an ambiguity in the provision itself and should not be treated
as a rights bestowing part of the law.”, and under his aforesaid
bias in favour of Smt. Sonia Gandhi, he passed an illegal Order, denying me
the requisitioned Information. During the hearing, the President
Secretariat also sought exemption on the alleged ground of the alleged
opinion given by Attorney General of India Mr. Milon Banerjea to deny me
the Information sought that what action actually were taken by the His
Excellency the President of India and what correspondence were made between
the then His Excellency President of India Dr. APJ Kalam and Smt. Sonia
Gandhi at the material time.
However, most surprisingly all the public authorities
including President’s Secretariat are misusing their powers and abusing
their authorities, engaged in hiding the true facts relating to Smt. Sonia
Gandhi and her allegiance to the Constitution of Italy. As such, when I
submitted another application for the copy of the aforesaid alleged opinion
given by Attorney General of India Mr. Milon Banerjea, considering Mr. Milon
Banerjea, as Attorney General of India, not as Personal Attorney of Smt.
Sonia Gandhi, but disclosure was also refused to me by the President
Secretariat claiming that the aforesaid opinion was qualified by the
Ministry of Law and Justice as “Confidential”.
Thereafter, I submitted another application for the file
noting regarding the decision process of the Ministry of Law and Justice,
through which aforesaid opinion given by the Attorney General of India Mr.
Milon Banerjea, was qualified as “Confidential”.
But, the Ministry of Law and
Justice also denied this Information too on the alleged pretext that
opinion given by the Attorney General of India Mr. Milon Banerjea was
exempted under fiduciary relationship, claiming that opinion was given by
an Advocate to his client. Such refusal was under criminal connivance,
ignoring the important fact that Attorney General of India is a
Constitutional Authority and his clients are none other than citizenry of
India, which is represented only by the Government of India. Therefore, if
any fiduciary relationship actually exits, in this case, the same is
between the citizenry of India and its Attorney General. I filed a
Complaint before the Central Information Commission against the aforesaid
refusal, posted through Speed Post NO. SP ED 390323274 IN dated 21/05/2008,
but the same is untraceable, in the Central Information Commission, till
date.
Government of India, through replies in response to my
various applications, under RTI Act, appears to be working hard to keep
everything under wraps regarding Smt. Sonia Gandhi and Shri Rahul Gandhi.
That is why, till date, Government is not ready to disclose whether Shri
Rahul Gandhi was detained or not by FBI with large unaccounted cash at
Boston Airport in 2001, and which Department / Ministry is responsible to investigate / enquire
such matters and other matters regarding black money received by any Indian
from the Foreign States and deposited in the foreign Banks?
Under
Section 6 of the Right to Information Act, 2005, I submitted application
dated 28th October, 2008, to the Central Public Information
Officer, Prime Minister’s Office, mentioning therein that “A
full page advertisement was published on 6th October, 2007, in
the New York Times, (photocopy was enclosed therewith), interalia with the
very serious allegation that Shri Rajiv Gandhi, the husband of Smt.
Sonia Gandhi, is alleged to have received payments from KGB. According to
Schweizer, Illustrierte, Rajiv has a secret Swiss Bank account of 2 billion
dollars. Her son Shri Rahul Gandhi, who is now projected (by Congress
Party), as future Prime Minister of India, was detained by FBI with large
unaccounted cash at Boston Airport in 2001. (Swiss magazine Schweizer,
Illustrierte 11/1991, Indo Asian News Service.” I further contended that the matter is very serious and is concerned relating to a situation
wherein the prestige of the Country, is likely to be compromised in public
esteem all over the World. Once, the then Congress President Late Mr.
Barua, said Indira is India. Whereas, India has never been Indira, hence,
we have seen the result. Now, people are busy to establish that Sonia
Gandhi is the Congress Party, as evident from the action taken by Indian
National Overseas Congress (INOC), a surrogate arm of the Indian National
Congress in USA, by filing a $100 million libel lawsuit in the New York
Supreme Court against two Indian Americans, Narain Kataria and Arish
Sahani for allegedly defaming the Congress Party President, Sonia
Gandhi, through the aforesaid advertisement against her in The New York
Times. Mr. Surinder Malhotra, who as president of INOC had moved the
court, later on had to withdraw the same. Although now he claims that
withdrawal of the Suit is not the defeat, and he is consulting the Indian
National Congress Party, for re-filling the Suit, as if Sonia Gandhi is
Indian National Congress Party, while he himself has admitted that the
Court has felt that INOC or he himself were not the aggrieved party. Now
the BIG QUESTION still remains unanswered that if through the aforesaid
advertisement Smt Sonia Gandhi and Shri Rahul Gandhi feel that they are
defamed, then why they themselves in their individual capacity are not
filing the said defamation case in the USA Court, since, the following extracts from the aforesaid
advertisement as was published in the “NewYork Times” dated 6th October,
2007, reflects that the advertisement casts a very serious and
personal allegation of corruption, against the family of Smt. Sonia Gandhi,
thereby lowering her esteem in public image?
“Her
husband Rajiv Gandhi is alleged to have received payments from KGB.
According to Schweizer, Illustrierte, Rajiv has a secret Swiss Bank account
of 2 billion dollars. Her son Rahul projected as next Prime Minister of
India, was detained by FBI with large unaccounted cash at Boston Airport in
2001. (Swiss magazine Schweizer, Illustrierte 11/1991, Indo Asian News
Service).” “Her party was involved in the UN Oil for Food Scam that helped
Saddam Hussain. (From this language
it is amply clear that charges were made against her in her personal
capacity for misusing her position as President of Congress Party. The
allegation nowhere puts the blame on the Indian National Congress Party).
She was involved in numerous scams, scandals and controversies. Before
entering India, she was an au-pair with modest means. Since then, she and
her family members have amassed millions through questionable means. (Know
Your Sonia by India First Foundation).”
Photocopy of the Advertisement published in the New York
Times is also posted at: http://rtitimes.net/truth”
and that the Charges made in the
aforesaid advertisement are very serious in nature, since it paints Shri
Rajiv Gandhi, describing as one of the most corrupt politicians of the
Country, contrary to his image that prevailed in India as ‘Mr. Clean’.
Therefore, truth must come out before the Indian Citizenry. For the ends of
the truth, a free, fair and transparent enquiry is essential. After
enquiry, if charges so leveled through aforesaid advertisement are proved
as malicious and false, this will enhance the goodwill of Smt. Sonia Gandhi
manifolds, as against the claim of the alleged defamation. Otherwise, scars
of doubts and blemishes would continue to cast a permanent mark on the
integrity and honesty by leaving an impression that she is misusing her
position to control the Office of the Prime Minister and the Central
Government, to put the matter under an un-pregnable covert. Whereas, under
the changed Swiss Banking Law, which mandated the Swiss Banks to know their
clients, the Government of India, may now easily trace out the actual
position about the alleged Secret Bank Account, if at all earlier held by
Shri Rajiv Gandhi, since Banks must know its clients as well as his
beneficiaries, which in this particular matter, might be Smt. Sonia Gandhi,
and / or Shri Rahul Gandhi and / or Ms. Priyanka Gandhi, if any such
account really ever existed. Similarly in the present scenario, USSR, Power
of the Communist Party and KGB exist nowhere. Therefore, under the changed
system of the Governance in Russia, if the Central Government makes free,
fair and transparent and a serious and honest effort, it can also get all
the true facts about the factual payments, if any were ever made by the KGB
to Shri Rajiv Gandhi. This is just not necessary for the political health
and strong democracy in India, but also for the sake of the prestige and
honor of the heavenly soul of our late Prime Minister, Shri Rajiv Gandhi
too. As regards to the matter, concerning whether Shri Rahul Gandhi, was
detained by FBI with large unaccounted cash at Boston Airport in 2001 or
not, this can be easily enquired by the Central Government.” Therefore,
through the aforesaid application I wanted to know that which Department or
Ministry of Government of India is responsible to enquire such type of the
allegations and (2) Which Department or Ministry is responsible to enquire
about the black money received from the Foreign States and deposited in the
foreign Banks, by any Indian?”
Any one would be surprised to know that the Prime
Minister’s Office does not know which Departments/Ministries under the
control of Prime Minister are responsible for such actions. For this reason
initially, my application was transferred through Memo Letter no.
RTI/1953/2008-PMR dated 4th November, 2008, to the Cabinet
Secretariat, which in its turn transferred to Department of Economic
Affairs, through Memo Letter No. F-12015/331/2008-RTI dated 25th
November, 2008, which was sent back to the Cabinet Secretariat, through
Memo Letter No. F.No. 2/366/2008-RTI dated 2nd December, 2008,
claiming it does not hold such responsibility. Now Cabinet Secretariat
again has transferred it to Shri V. Sreekumar, Under Secretary and CPIO, of
Deptt. of Revenue, through Memo Letter No. F-12015/331/2008-RTI dated 4th
December, 2008. Is it not a Joke?
