Destruction of a Penal Code by mindless Plagiarism

 Complete Silence in Media and Intelligentsia about Destruction of Indian Penal Code

More than a week has passed and I am still awaiting a proper review or any constructive criticism of the new Penal code (Namely Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita) passed in Indian Parliament when most of opposition leaders were suspended and no MP managed to critique any  section of the new penal code in the charade of a parliamentary debate that ensued before Passing of the bill.

 All three branches of Indian Democracy (Legislature, Judiciary and the executive ) take the Sovereign of India, that is to say, the citizens of India as a bunch of fools and take our apathy to read laws and our long held wrongful notion that "Laws are complex and can't be Understood by ordinary public".

On the contrary, the basic notion of having laws published in a Democracy is that,  laws must be written in lucid language and in on orderly fashion so that entire Citizenry can comprehend .

I intend to write few blogs to save your years from being wasted within classroom walls of law schools and whenever good humour can be found in stupidity of the high and mighty, I'll showcase them as well within the confines of good manners. 

 Since I have filled 2 notebooks with my observations of the monumental stupidity that passed in the name of Penal Code Reform , this has to done in multiple posts of blogs.

To Reform, One Must Know The Current Form and Structure : Knowledge is Paramount for Changing a System

 All laws are broken up in paragraphs which are organized into Chapters ,  Chapters broken up in Sections comprising one or more paragraphs ,  Sections may be broken up into Individual paragraphs (Which are numbered sequentially) to specify individual clause or facet of the topic described in the section .

Chapters must and Sections may have title to describe what those paragraphs are all about. 

All laws start with Introductory Sections where the name, scope and extent of the laws are mentioned. Immediately after that legal definitions, legal paradigms introduced in that law are explained. In Nineteenth century, even grammatical constructs used in the law are defined among legal definitions. I fear most law professors and practitioners have forgotten about grammar related parts of IPC.

Thereafter, the operative sections and mentioned.  If there are major exceptions to the sections, they are mentioned as well. Putting these in different chapters, creates better readability and clarity in documentation.

Old Indian Penal Code was broken up in 23 original chapters and 3 chapters added subsequently through amendments to the penal code. 

 

 

 Let's start at the very beginning while reviewing the new Penal code and focus on the first two chapters of IPC (Introduction and General Explanations) and what they meant originally and where and how they are placed in new Penal Code i.e. Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. 

Botched Up New Penal Code from First Chapter. 

Old IPC had 5 Sections in Introduction, Section 1 gave the title and extent of its operations, Section 2 gave legal basis for giving punishment, Section 3 allowed offences under IPC that are committed outside India, to be tried in India, Section 4 to extended reach of IPC to outside India.. etc.

All 5 sections are now copied and pasted in One Section, Namely Section 1 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. They appear a Sub-Sections in same order and with exact same sentences. Even explanations are same as in Old IPC. 

It is clear that authors of new Penal Code didn't understand Section 3 and Section 4 of Old Penal Code.  These provisions clearly allowed trial of people of crimes mentioned in IPC inside India even when committed outside India; as they still had to introduce section 48 later on in the chapter of abetment. 

This is so hilarious, under new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, one abettor inside India will be charged under one section ... whereas an abettor outside India will be charged under two sections of the act.

Clearly whoever wrote Section 48 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, never really read the very first section of their own Penal code. Knowing the scope of a Penal code is of paramount importance while writing a new penal code.

Needless to add that Indian laws are not applicable outside India and Indian Police can't go and arrest Abettors anywhere in the globe. The extra-territorial section of IPC was written in Colonial times when summons could be sent from one British Colony to another within the wretched colonial empire.

Extradition or Deportation works in today's world only when the alleged crime in India was a crime in which the accused was residing at the time of the crime; in which case other sections on Abetment were sufficient to charge any abetment outside India. Section 48 is therefore both redundant and useless in terms of execution of the law.

Murder of Old IPC chapter II : General Explanations weren't only Definitions

As discussed earlier Chapter II of Old IPC didn't only contain legal definitions, but also mentioned:

 

Grammatical Constructs/Constraints as in Section 8 - Gender, Section 9 - Number. 

Legal Concepts of Exceptions( Section 6) and Sense of Expression( Section 7) and Acts and Omission related sections 32 to 38.

 

 A clear giveaway clue would have been use of Quotation marks when giving Section headings.

Even when "Legal definitions" were used, when similar or opposing meaning words are defined, they are defined together as a group in a similar ; such as Section 10  ("Man". "Woman".), Section 33 ("Act". "Omission".), Section 43 ("Illegal". "Legally Bound To Do".), Section 49 ("Year". "Month". ) and Section 23 while introducing the concept of "Gaining Wrongfully/Losing Wrongfully".

These legal terms and concepts were arranged as they had appeared in the later sections of penal code, in the same sequence.

But the makers of new Penal Code were in frightful hurry and committed idiotic mistakes by thinking:

i. Every Section from Section 8 to Section 52 and Section 52A contained only "Legal Meaning" of specific words.

ii. Rearranging these words in Alphabetical order and one word at a time would hide all the Plagiarized sections in new penal code.

iii. Merging all these sections inside of fat section 2 titled "Definitions" would hide their art of "copy/paste" from old penal code.

In Post-Independence India, the revised Penal Code was single biggest opportunity to base LEGAL DEFINITIONS ON CONSTITUTION OF INDIA; but makers of new code didn't utilise that. A GREAT OPPORTUNITY SQUANDERED. 

 Curious case of ignorance of Section 8 and Section 9 among new Sanhita makers: The grammatical default  expression used in Indian Penal Code

 

I would blame the law school professors for not teaching the entire legal fraternity that Section 8 of Indian Penal Code is about "Default use of pronoun He and its derivatives in the Penal Code" and is not about classification of Gender, either from birth or by preference. Section 8 of IPC merely stated even though "He" is masculine, wherever he is used, it will imply to all humans, whether male or not.

Similarly Section 9 was about use of Singular Number and Plural Number in the Penal code and not about Defining the word, NUMBER.

But the makers of new code thought otherwise and Plagiarized them in Section 2, Sub-section (10) for Gender and Section 2, Sub-section (22) for Number. 

By introducing transgender word, the makers clearly exposed their ignorance about the grammatical concept of Gender.🤣🤣🤣🤣

In English grammar, their is no grammatical form or concept of Transgender... although feminine of "He" is "She". 

Although "She" is not written in illustrations, explanations and examples and only "He" is written in IPC, the cases would apply to all, irrespective of Gender... that's all Section 8 of old IPC meant.

 Sub-section (22) is an out and out steal from old IPC Section 9. Only modification is an absurd pair of Quotation marks (") encasing the word "Number" . So makers of new Penal code by putting "Number" within quotes implies wherever this word appears this has to be considered as its literal and legal meaning.. HA, HA, HA.

Whereas the makers go on to use the word "Number" at least 4 times and hold your breath.. 🤣🤣🤣every single time, it means "A finite numerical value" and not "Singular or Plural Number".. I was like 🤣🤣🤣ROFL at their ignorance and lackadaisical skill of law making.

Strange case of Alphabetical Ordering and debasement of important pairing of words along with the legal constructs they represented:

Section 33 included the definitions of "Act" and "Omission" because the precedent section, Section 32 defined "Illegal Omissions" as an "Act".

It is this definition in Section 33 and Section 32, which forms various legal premises such as "Criminal Negligence" and gives rise to phrases such as "Acts or willful/illegal Omissions"

But the makers of new penal code chose to define "Act" in Section 2, Sub-section (1) and "Omission" separately in Section 2, Sub-Section (25) and Dropped sections 32, 35, 36, 37, 38 altogether.. Destroying all the legal premises held in those sections. "Acts and illegal Omissions" are no longer similar things... It will be very hard to prove "Willful Criminal Negligence" of Public Servants..

 So they introduced these IPC Sections in Section 3 - General Explanations of new code in various totally unrelated Sub-Sections.

Section 27 of Old IPC which was struck by Supreme Court of India, reappeared in Section 3, Sub-Section (3). Section 27 stated

27. “Property in possession of wife, clerk or servant”.—When property is in the possession of a person's wife, clerk or servant, on account of that person, it is in that person's possession within the  meaning of this Code.
Explanation.—A person employed temporarily or on a particular occasion in the capacity of a clerk or servant, is a clerk or servant within the meaning of this section.

 Only change in new code is that word "wife" has been changed to "Spouse".

I have never seen such mindless plagiarism by copy-paste as in Section 3 of new penal code. Since Sub-Sections need not have a title.. they are copied without one, therefore hiding its contents and destroying its legal premises. 

Let me list out the sources of Plagiarized contents of subsections of Section 3 and you will find every single line are copied from old IPC and the Section titles are missing. List will be by Sanhita Subsection number and Old IPC section headings/ titles:

(1) - IPC Section 6. Definitions in the Code to be understood subject to exceptions.

(2) - IPC Section 7. Sense of expression once explained.

(3) - IPC Section 27.  “Property in possession of wife, clerk or servant”

(4) - IPC Section 32. Words referring to acts include illegal omissions.

(5) - IPC Section 34. Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention.

(6) - IPC Section 35. When such an act is criminal by reason of its being done with a criminal knowledge or  intention.

(7) - IPC Section 36. Effect caused partly by act and partly by omission.

(8) - IPC Section 37.  Co-operation by doing one of several acts constituting an offence.

(9) -  IPC Section 38. Persons concerned in criminal act may be guilty of different offences.

 of course, you won't find a heading of any subsection in the new code, these were finds of Plagiarism detection software. I hate to be a Judge or a lawyer or a Police officer or even a law school student when this new penal code comes into force.

Section 2 and specially Section 3 are great examples of HOW NOT TO WRITE A SECTION IN A LAWBOOK.

If Plagiarism means Reform, then it's indeed great beginning.. ha ha ha.. strangely Plagiarism was neither a crime under old IPC nor is a crime with new Penal Code.

Although "Plagiarism Detection" software ranks the new Penal code 97.17% plagiarized from the old colonial times Indian Penal Code, in the eyes of the law, every section has to pass through the review and constitutional challenges in the court of law as original definitions and explanations now reside in new section in new chapters.

 Since all these IPC sections present in Chapter 1 and 2 had headings or titles, they were nicely indexed and presented in law books. Now they are hidden in Sub-Sections of Section 1, 2 and 3. They would not be present in any index and would be practically impossible to find out without a Plagiarism Detection Software and copy of old IPC.

What a Bogus Recreation of Penal Code we are having

 Apparently Our Home Minister had never read the Current Indian Penal Code and stupid Media needlessly will be parroting Mr. Shah's fake claims regarding IPC:

In this post I will stick to Home Minister Amit Shah's claim "Deshdroh" or "Offenses against The State" being added in this new Penal code and "Rajdroh" or "Offences against the crown" being removed.

What Mr. Shah does not know, all references to "King", "The Crown" were removed immediately after independence, when Nehru was the PM and Ambedkar was the law minister. 

The Sedition section however remained, where the reference of crown was replaced by "Government of India" phrase. 

By tweaking the Section Numbers, Mr. Shah can't hide facts. I will expose Mr. Shah and India's Dalal Media with help of Screenshots from Old Indian Penal Code, 1860 and comparing it  with new proposed Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 with the bill's screenshot. 

Mr. Shah claimed "Offences Against The State" or Deshdroh, as he said in Hindi did not exist in Present IPC. WRONG. He probably knew that as well .. Here is Chapter VI of Colonial era IPC, as Amend upto 2023, see the screenshot.

CHAPTER VI
OF OFFENCES AGAINST THE STATE
121. Waging, or attempting to wage war, or abetting waging of war, against the Government of India.
121A. Conspiracy to commit offences punishable by section 121.
122. Collecting arms, etc., with intention of waging war against the Government of India.
123. Concealing with intent to facilitate design to wage war.
124. Assaulting President. Governor, etc., with intent to compel or restrain the exercise of any lawful power.
124A. Sedition.
125. Waging war against any Asiatic power in alliance with the Government of India.
126. Committing depredation on territories of power at peace with the Government of India.
127. Receiving property taken by war or depredation mentioned in sections 125 and 126.
128. Public servant voluntarily allowing prisoner of State or war to escape.
129. Public servant negligently suffering such prisoner to escape.
130. Aiding escape of, rescuing or harbouring such prisoner.

And what great changes he made, Mr. Amit Shah, to this chapter, he changed the Chapter number and section number.  As I will show, most sections are same the British wrote. 

I'm not saying, Sections are same in essence and in semantics.. they are word by word, sentence by sentence exactly same, down to the punctuation marks.

So old Section 121 became new Section 147.

Old 121A became new Section 148.

Old 122 became Section 149.

Old 123 became Section 150.

Old 124 (originally written for Governor-general of India and other governors) became Section 151.

Old Sedition law Section 124A became Section 152.

Mr. Shah merely dropped the word Sedition and replaced it with "Act endangering sovereignty, unity and integrity of India".

Old law said (I'll copy paste below from PDF, in order to avoid mistakes) and turn the parts of  the section in Bold and you will see how magically it transformes into the new Section of New Bill..

"Sedition.—Whoever by words, either spoken or written, or by signs, or by visible  representation, or otherwise, brings or attempts to bring into hatred or contempt, or excites or attempts to  excite disaffection towards, the Government established by law in [India], shall be punished  with 16[imprisonment for life], to which fine may be added, or with imprisonment which may extend to  three years, to which fine may be added, or with fine.

Explanation 1.—The expression “disaffection” includes disloyalty and all feelings of enmity.

Explanation 2.—Comments expressing disapprobation of the measures of the Government with a  view to obtain their alteration by lawful means, without exciting or attempting to excite hatred, contempt  or disaffection, do not constitute an offence under this section.
Explanation 3.—Comments expressing disapprobation of the administrative or other action of the  Government without exciting or attempting to excite hatred, contempt or disaffection, do not constitute an  offence under this section."

Even the explanation of new section 152 are copied from old Sedition law section 124A.

 so BJP Government's proposed bill not only extended the draconian provision of sedition by adding explicitly,  Electronic
Communication and by financial means .. but it also increased the nominal prison sentence to Seven years from present Three years.

 Now BJP will say, "how can we tolerate threats to sovereignty,  unity and integrity" as they had said earlier about Section 124A of IPC.

Problem with Sedition law wasn't that it wasn't helpful for a state, problem is that it is subject to variant interpretations. It showed fear of freedom of speech in the colonial power, after all, with bold words, both spoken and written by Indian freedom fighters gave India freedom in 1947.

We are now Independent and Free to assault our constitutional rights by making stupid renaming exercise of laws.

It doesn't end with Section 152 of new act from 124A.

Sections 125, 126, 127 of IPC is now Section 153, 154, 155 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. 

Perhaps Amit Shah and company doesn't know, these 3 are genuinely Colonial era sections to protect "Then Princely States" and other colonies friendly to "British Crown Colonies" 

Prisoner of War related sections of IPC ie 128, 129, 130 are now Sections 156, 157, 158.

So Question remains, Did Home Minister read the IPC and the new BNS before presenting it to the parliament and the nation?

Did any Journalist read them?

Did any of "Yeah" yelling BJP MP read the Bills before passing it in the parliament?

Except making Sedition law more draconian, what else did "Offences against the state" or "Deshdroh" sections offer?

Coronavirus as a Tool of suppression of People's Movement

 Parrot Subservient Media Says New Variant JN.1 found in India , Government wants more RTPCR tests..

But how many Genome Sequencing was done by India ,  9 days ago, Outbreak.info had released the Variant data of India !

In last 60 days (actually 69 days), India had submitted Only 3 sequences of Covid19 ..

One each in three days. Ha ha ha.. That's disgusting, disgraceful shoddy work.  

Basically all Indian doctors were told by Central Government that RTPCR is not needed, for serious cases just test for Dengue. 

Why does Indian Government say JN.1 is more concerning that say, JG.3?

Is it because JN reminds them of Jawaharlal Nehru? Is it Nehru's fault?

Is it because Opposition Members are suspended by Parliament Speaker and they are afraid of People's protests?

This Indian government is showing,  extremely tyrannical attitudes and methods! 

How contagious is JN.1?

 Well it was first found way back in January 2023 and throughout 11 months, only about 3000 cases were sequenced.

Of course, 95% of Indian Doctors only follow Pharmaceutical companies' sales representatives and WhatsApp orders from Government!

Unnecessary testing pressure and giving people a scare is not Government's job.

Shameful guidance from ICMR and Central Government on Covid19, they ignore the illness when its politically convenient and scare people when its politically convenient.  SHAME!

BJP MLA Ramdular Gond convicted on Rape Charges.

 And ... And ... And

Who campaigned for this rapist MLA in UP Elections of 2022?

Well the answer is ..

Modi, Modi, Modi 

Of course such accusations can't be made in jest. 

 So here is the Proof:

 On March 2/3, 2022 .. Modi campaigned in Sonbhadra District,  from where Ramdular Gond was contesting on Modi's party BJP ticket.. from Duddhi (Dudhi) constituency ..

This video is from none other than Narendramodi's YouTube account . 

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2uMwj9Fj8GM

 

 If some are still not convinced, here is a still photo from that rally.. Modi greeting the Rapist MLA on stage.

At that time, charges against Ramdular Gond were framed ... FIR was of 2014, Criminal Case started in 2015.

Yet BJP made him a candidate from Duddhi and Modi campaigned for him and other candidates of Sonbhadra district, which if my memory serves me right, went to polls on March 7th, 2022.

There are only 4 seats in Sonbhadra district, so "how can Modi know about all candidates" excuse won't work. 

Incidentally,  3 out of 4 candidates of BJP had criminal cases against them.. and all of them won.

If Modi can refer to first 75 years of India's Independence for every single woes of India today,  surely he should have known what his party's candidate Ramdular Gond was doing 8 years ago.

Shame on Modi, Shame, Shame!

 

New Rajasthan CM and his ridiculous Election Affidavit

 I heard a new person became Rajasthan CM , someone whom very few in Rajasthan know outside his assembly, so he was absolutely Unknown Person to me. 

All Politicians have to give an affidavit stating his/her assets, liabilities, profession, education, age, marital status, criminal cases etc. 

Thankfully Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) maintains a website and I searched and found Mr. Bhajan Lal Sharma's affidavit to be quite funny and interesting . 

Let me share the multi-talented Sharma's details, which I found to be ... let's say..,...🤔 ...  interesting :

See I told you, they claimed to be Multi-talented in their affidavit:

Mr. Sharma has 4 professions, quite a multi-tasking chap he is:

Job No. 1: An employee of Railway Ministry, which looks like a full-time one.

No. 2: Proprietor of Sri Krishna Kanhaiya Company. 

No 3: Rent Collector 

No. 4: Serial Passbook/Checkbook updater. 

Although he passed Masters Degree examination from Rajasthan university, but Nobody apparently taught him the difference between "Profession" and "Sources of Income".

Normal people don't write Rent and Bank Interest in profession column, they are mentioned in other sources of Income section. 

He thinks similarly his wife has 3 professions:

A. Wholesale Trading Business 

B. Interest collection from Parties. 

C. Interest Collection from Bank.

So far Mr. Bhajan Lal Sharma's biodata looks like an entrepreneur's isn't? Kind of Open but money minded person, he looks like.. isn't he?

Since he mentioned, interest and bank interest a lot of times in profession section.. let us see, what he has stored where?

What? Mr. Sharma lists Bank Interest as One of Mrs. Sharma's profession and she has only two accounts and in one she has zero balance for which normally bank charges a penalty.. total 10 thousand in her account, annual interest would come as 600-700 rupees only!!!

Remember that she is in wholesale trading business as well.. Mr. Sharma says both Mr. & Mrs. Sharma have only 1.5 lakh rupees in cash. 

How can anyone run a wholesale trading business with 10 thousand in bank and 1.5 lakh cash, in today's market?

Mrs. Sharma has no bank loans also..

Surprisingly,  Mrs. Sharma has not given loans to anyone also..

Then from which parties does Mrs. Sharma collect interest from? Isn't it obvious that Mr. Bhajan Lal Sharma himself has been doing the wholesale trading business, possibly breaking service rules of Railways Ministry.. and has been booking those Income in his wife's name? Double benefits of standard deductions in Income Tax and relief from service rules of Railways Ministry.. huh?

It's not just a loving husband's wishful thinking, Affidavit says .. Mrs. Sharma has been filing Income Tax Returns regularly and in some years had paid more taxes than Mr. Sharma.. have a look..

But at least the Rajasthan CM gives information about Wife's asset and liabilities and Income.. unlike his boss, PM Modi who just skips everything about his wife's income and liabilities and assets.. etc.

But I wonder why this new CM does not mention the current value of his wife's wholesale trading business in assets section and he also omitted the value of his proprietorship business, Sri Krishna Kanhaiya & Company?

SRI KRISHNA KANHAIYA & COMPANY and violation of Ministry of Railways Regulations?

Normal Employees of Indian Railways can't run full-time businesses because of service rules, but Mr. Bhajanlal Sharma it seems has been allowed to run a Private Proprietorship firm, "Sri Krishna Kanhaiya & company" .. although named after Hindu God, it is registered in various business website in serious Mineral trading business. 

In one B2B website,  it clearly states "We supply minerals and ores to Cement and steel plants".

It is not just wishful thinking driven listing, as another business directory even gives its address and GST registration number as well.

This address "A-29C Jawahar Nagar Bharatpur Rajasthan" is the same as his residential building mentioned in his affidavit:

Now is this residential or commercial building? It's really real building as Google map find it here..

So if you run a mineral and ore supply business from a property worth 40 lakh or 4 million, that business has Zero asset value?

And how was he running this business? Was he going to Ministry of Railways office or doing his home office, everyday? Did present BJP Government at Centre who runs the Ministry of Railways, gave Mr. Sharma a special permission to run his private business while working in Railways?

So before Media people write, "Oh finally a middle class working man became Chief Minister" would they look into his income from Mineral trading business?

 Assets of Grownup Children are not listed among CM's but Son's Educational loan is listed in CM's personal liabilities: How bizarre!

It is clear from his affidavit that his children has grown up as he doesn't list any of them as dependent.

But his liability declaration lists his son's personal educational loan!

Now he can't take the tactical route out that his children are doing Mineral trading now..

As he keeps paying his Son's education loan back. 

🤣🤣🤣

As for Criminal cases, he lists one of violating Pandemic rules and obstructing Government officials.. 

Quite stereotypical Politician's resume, he got..

Pandemic of Ignorance, Stupidity and Corrupt Reporting in Business Media

Who got 553 Million USD loan from US international Development Finance Corporation?

 If you follow Indian Media and Indian Press, you would think that you know the answer and its Adani group . 

Well, you would be dead WRONG.

 If you think, such skewed and falsified Reporting lead to Adani buying back their own shares through proxies and shell companies to jack up their share prices and Standards & Poor managed Sensex jumping up to record levels .. Well , don't lie, you haven't had any such thoughts ,  before you read this post.

Metamorphosis of News to Bad News to Fake News

Lazy Reporting Event Number 1 : Reuters

 

What Reuters should have mentioned that although proposed Colombo container terminal is managed by Adani Ports, the company is a separate entity with a separate name and separate business address in Sri Lanka. 

Colombo West International Terminal Private Limited

Somewhere down in last paragraph,  Reuters managed to mention that Adani group owns 51% stake in this venture and reluctantly mentioned the name of John Keells Limited ( actually its John Keells Holdings Limited) and Sri Lanka's Government has major shares in it.

We know the shareholding pattern of Colombo West International Terminal (CWIT) well before Reuters wrote the post (Sorry boys, it wasn't detailed enough to be called as News Article); it was reported in November 2022, what the shareholdings are:

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) : 51%

John Keells Holdings (This is one of largest Srilankan conglomerate and it is S&P Sri Lanka Stock market index) : 34%

Sri Lanka Port Authority, fully Government owned : 15%

Bloomberg did a hachet reporting job as Well..

 

Maybe Michael Bloomberg has been getting a series of bad fortune cookies from the Chinese, so Bloomberg declared entire Colombo port as Adani's personal port.

Perhaps Bloomberg doesn't understand the difference between a port and a container terminal.

 Bloomberg doesn't even know that DFC loan is specially earmarked for transhipment facilities on Colombo West International Terminal, well DFC released a 6 page pdf on the loan but if they had to read that, wouldn't that be an insult to their official employee dogtags that hung on their shoulders?

Did any of the media report that the loan is for a 20 year period? DFC chief Scott Nathan expects that both Joe Biden and himself would be dead and buried by then!

Had they read the ridiculous DFC report, they would have noticed "Deep Water Container Terminal" is flawed from beginning..

Now this project was 789 million USD project last year, now cost has gone up to 851 million or what? DFC loan adds the total loan (they call it Funding) to 851 million? 

Or is additional 62 million is DFC's Kickback?

Although DFC outlines, various risk assessments in its report but nowhere did they mention Hindenburg research..

Here I give you the proof, Hindenburg research is not found in PDF document..

DFC went on to list Marine Ecology, Effects of Dredging, Contacts with Fishermen as potential risks and social impacts in flimsy terms and glossing over the reality. 

This transhipment pipedream is as much unrealistic as Chinese transhipment mega project failure in Sri Lanka. That's besides the point, when this project fails, neither Indian billionaire Adani nor would Sri Lankan Millionaires in John Keells Holdings would pay the loan back.. the burden would fall squarely on ordinary folks there, for that meagre 15% stake of their government.

 

In fact, DFC report does not mention Adani by name even once in their 6 page pdf. 

 

Enter The Fake News Maestro: Bloomberg,  the iceberg that one day would sink the titanic of truth.

We have seen that original DFC document does not mention either Adani or Hindenburg by name, yet Bloomberg manages to catch hold of a sixth cousin twice removed relative of DFC to say, this fake news.

It is well known in diplomatic circles that all DFC loans are geopolitical kickbacks and they never achieve their publicised goals. But Bloomberg would never say that..

The shitstorm such bad fake news spawn and derivative news article, results into further worsening fake news..

Should I laugh or should I cry at this fake news?

Conclusion:

Based on Such bad news, Adani stocks are rebounding like crazy, while India's currency continues to tank against US dollar. 

What would you do? Cheer on fraud Billionaires as stock market rises? Or lament on the demise of Indian rupee and look helplessly on real inflation that refuse to show on official records but effects your daily life in India anyway.

Ethics Ha ha ha Committee of Loksabha, Lower house of Indian Parliament

 I was Stunned to know that Indian Parliament has an ethics committee and so I looked into Its composition and workings..

In Modi's first term, in 5 years from 2014-2019 (the 16th Loksabha) this committee had a grand total of one and only one meeting.. in 2015 .. that's some stress on ethics.

 Let me remind you, this is when reliance Jio used Modi's picture while launching its mobile phone service, yet no ethics meetings were called . 

Just before Demonetisation, ruling BJP members and functionaries deposited large sums of cash in Banks and used the to be banned "currency notes" in real estate transactions . 

BJP MPs publicly promoted Privately owned e-wallets and digital payment services, still there was no meetings of breaches of ethical code.

Sum total of their existence in last Loksabha is just one introductory meeting. 

 Ethics In Current Loksabha .. Committee Workings ( or not )

I find they had not discussed or referred to any bills to be presented in Loksabha.  In last four and half years had only 6 meeting and Zero sittings, until the Mohua moitra eenquiry started; For which they had 3 meetings in 3 weeks. Here I present the evidence of that in form of Sansad website screenshots:

One can only guess, "Adani sab ka malik hai" meaning "Adani owns everything and everyone" and rather than the merits of questions raised by Ms. Moitra they are discussing who uploaded her questions and who logged in on her behalf.  And then the usual innuendos gets mixed and Toxic Indian Media spreads propaganda. 

Would Any Media House care to look at the composition of this committee .. I guess that too had to be done by me.

Let's start with the chairman, shall we?

Vinod Kumar Sonkar, is a BJP MP from Kausambhi in Uttar Pradesh and is a businessman by profession and has high amount of Personal debt and about 15-20 of his assets comes from stock market linked investments. 

 

And of course,  he has 4 criminal cases pending, at least, had 4 criminal cases in 2019, including case of inciting communal disharmony and riots. Since Uttar Pradesh is also ruled by BJP, so police had not taken any action against him.

 

AdaniGate could have personally dented his fortune, as he himself has declared in his election commission affidavit that he has invested in NSE Index funds in his as well as his wife's name. 

 So when Adani shares suffer a setback, one or more investments of Mr. Sonkar suffer a setback,  clear,  isn't it? Doesn't this tantamount to conflict of interest on Mr. Sonkar's part?

Has Indian Parliament had no better member than this Mr. Sonkar for ethics committee? In occupation column, he wrote that he is a businessman; But failed to mention his business organisation.

 Was Mr. Sonkar not a Director in these 3 Private Limited companies? Through his business partner Mr. Singh had he not opened many businesses in Varanasi, Modi's own constituency?

These BJP MPs has made so much money, illegally and by dubious means,  that ethics committee chairman forgets to mention his LPG tanker business, which partly Government owned Indian Oil Corporation uses and tankers were bought by loans from Government bank.

What are Mr. Sonkar's relationship with these 3 companies?

Is giving wrong information or suppressing information, an example of good ethical practices?

A Tale of Government Policy, Two Narendra(s), One Narendra's Son and Zero Action by ED

In the strange land that used to be India, Enforcement Directorate (ED) decides which Government policy is Good and who are eligible to get Windfall profits and who are not..

 I have come to know about a Narendra, Central cabinet minister (Agriculture minister) has son called Devendra Tomar .. thanks to a viral video on Social Media where he is talking about huge amount of Money transfers (allegedly for kickbacks and bribes). Had his father been an opposition politician , he would have been questioned by ED , CBI and who not.. simply basis of such video . 

Devendra can thank his lucky stars that his daddy is in BJP and "Black Farm Law" authoring and supporting Agriculture Minister, so he will not be subjected to downright abysmal Vilification by Noida based Godi Media.

Curiously I searched on the Internet, may be he is some big shot businessman who deals with Billions of rupees every day.  

Look at what I found:

 It seems that in last 5 years, he has opened 4 paper or shell companies with family members in 4 distinct fields..

He told Government of India's Corporate Affairs Ministry, who data these websites access that he is Managing Director of a funny named "Mango Pharmaceuticals Private Limited" since 2018.. a company that doesn't even have a website.. has only two directors, other being a Nivedita Tomar.. most probably a member of his family. No wonder, Government's latest employment data says 52% of employed people are self employed.  "Mummy mujhe MD bana doh, papa ne  bhai ko bana rakhha hai" ("Mom make me Managing Director, dad wont, as he made brother MD in his company") kind of employment.

 Registered Address of that company is hilarious and copy it as found it.. 

C/o Narendra Singh Tomar, House No. 38 Arya Nagar,Morar, GWALIOR

Oh Sonny, Sonny, Sonny.. did you really had to mention "Care of my daddy, a cabinet minister" in incorporation of your company?? It's upto Enforcement Directorate to find what Windfall gains, if any .. Junior Tomar got out of this company. What were the Pandemic era sales of this company? Nobody knows, I guess.

 incidentally Google map can find a Mango juice shop but not Mango Pharmaceuticals in GWALIOR.

Come 2019, he opens another company, this time in Ghaziabad, called "Bravo Multisports Private Limited" with authorized capital of just 5 lakhs and paid up capital of just one Lakh. What kind office space can one get in 1 lakh in Ghaziabad, a parking lot of a Maruti? Maybe even not that.. ha ha ha.. Registered Address is ambiguous, can be a flat or a parking lot..

III F 411 VAISHALI, GHAZIABAD

Once again, Google Map can find "Brave Gym" in Ghaziabad but not this company. Was Junior Tomar getting benefits from "Khelo India" policy of BJP governments? Would CBI look into that? Obviously not .. even if a BJP minister's son gets some money from Government policies .. so what?

Then in lockdown years Junior Tomar could not open any more company in 2020 and 2021 .. One can only guess his jump from Multivitamins of Mango Pharmaceuticals to Multi-sports in Ghaziabad did not get any traction with public, hence Google map can't find this establishment either. 

In 2022, he opens another company, Sharda Agrofood Products Private Limited, back in Gwalior. This one is a direct breach of Agriculture Minister's privileges bestowed on him. How can Agriculture Minister's son be in Agricultural foods business? Is this "Na khaunga, Na khane dunga" promise of Narendra Modi, manifested or what? In Portugal, Government fell down on such charges, just yesterday... but this is India, that too under BJP.

Once again, no website, no mention in Google maps, forget finding employees in LinkedIn.. there is a different Sharda Agro business in various other places, even they don't know that a namesake has appeared in Gwalior.

 Even that business perhaps didn't suit him, so this year, Junior Tomar joined another industry as additional director, while working in previous 3 as well.. 

Sharda Green Energy Private Limited

Both this Sharda named companies have same address in Gwalior.. 

What these Corporate affairs data won't show is that he has joined according to some media reports, a fifth Industry and perhaps the most profitable business in India now .. he has joined BJP and probably contesting polls soon. ED won't dare touch him now..

I don't know him or his family personally, so he might be an innocent guy with disastrous Corporate sector CV, if that is the case, I wish him long life and many more directorships in funny companies..

I'll perhaps update this blog, when his affidavit on assets comes from Election Commission. I'm curious to know what he writes in occupation column, "Habitual Director" or "Serial Company Founder" or what..

It is the Agriculture Minister who is at greater fault, if he channels money through his son.. or breaches oath of secrecy by letting his son join Agrofood business and creating policies to benefit family members. Let the Government agencies look into this and give clean chit..🤣

UPDATE:

In a bizarre turn of events, it turns out Union Agriculture Minister is himself contesting MLA election in Madhya Pradesh, despite being an MP .. Wow, Narendra Singh Tomar, would you like to become Agriculture Minister of Madhya Pradesh as well..

If he goes back to Madhya Pradesh, who will become Agriculture minister of India? The other Narendra??!😉

Aadhaar Data Breach: Unsafe PII records of proud stupid nationalist

 Aadhaar makes every Indian vulnerable to identity theft 

I was saying this from day 1, when US NSA forced Government Of India to start Biometric database of Indians, almost at Gunpoint . US Department Of State ordered if passports can't be verified with Biometric data, they will not be issuing Work permit Visas . 

 So the south asian countries which needed to export skilled manpower to US all agreed , not just India but Pakistan and Bangladesh too. After all, remittances from US based nationals was and still is , a pleasant and certain source of valuable foreign currencies for which these governments have to do absolutely nothing at all.

Indian Biometric Unique Identity database, can to be Known as Aadhaar.

Although Supreme Court in India gave a series of verdicts and observations ..

... over the years and Government of India continuously lied in front of the court and to the people of India about cyber Security of aadhaar database . 

For example, they said all 10 fingerprints are needed for aadhaar UID generation.. in an affidavit to Supreme Court. LIE, clearly a falsehood: At the time of registration, every Indian were given an official paper record which had details of Biometric data captured and there it is printed how many fingers' fingerprints were taken. A tick mark and a cross mark were placed next to the diagram of two palms. Cross mark represents a missing finger or UIDAI scanner failed to convert the fingerprint into a digital record.  Still millions were given an aadhaar Id based on few fingerprints and they are asked every now and then to update their Biometric Data. 

Supreme COURT had said , private companies like telecom or banks can't ask for Biometric data. Still that is the norm for opening new accounts in bank or getting a new telephone number or even a cooking gas cylinder. 

All Permanent Account Number (PAN) issued by Income Tax Dept of Government of India are now linked with aadhaar or rendered Inoperative (hmm ..  so PAN cards were not that Permanent, after all). This however with the blessings of another Supreme Court order which contradicted the previous larger bench Order.

Enter The Darkweb

For last 7 years, we were spotting the aadhaar data were leaked in internet and they are being sold too. 

Of course, nobody buys only Name and aadhaar number over Internet unless it comes with Verifiable Biometric Data as well.

Every time, Me and some other people pointed out the data breaches and security flaws.. An army of Stupid Nationalist Trolls would attack us online. 

If only Trolling were a cyber security tool, but alas they are not and breaches continued relentlessly and now in largest sale of Biometric Data from India's Covid Vaccine Database ,  aadhaar data got stolen and sold.

Who allowed COWIN to store aadhaar's Biometric data ? Who allowed COWIN to access aadhaar's database ?

Well, COWIN was designed for future monetization and selling Indian citizens Medical records to private insurance companies and hospitals for profit and even stored data of people, who bought the Covid vaccine for hundreds of rupees. So people who paid for their vaccine shots but gave aadhaar as proof of identity.. yes, their data got stolen . 

Although Media has been told, 

A. Not to highlight this.

B. Not to Biometric Data but use PII ( Personally Identifiable Information) instead. 

The scale of data is so huge this time, 815 million people's data were stolen .  

And since, stupid Prime minister now allows India's digital payment network UPI to be used from overseas, all those people who have aadhaar linked bank accounts and are among these 815 poor suckers (citizens who surrender their Biometric data to a Government Database.. well, they are suckers) are now susceptible to bank withdrawal from bots running in high speed internet overseas. 

Stupidity is the fastest growing religion in India now, specially among aadhaar carrying Indians. If Government of India, makes another shady and unsafe Database, API or App.. These 815 million will take a day off from office or work and queue up register and surrender more of personal liberty and constitutionally guaranteed freedoms .

For This Has To Be Told: End Israeli Occupation of Palestine

 In a world fed by monetized Snapshots of 30 seconds of newscasts , Truth becomes the first casualty

 Try living your entire life under foreign Occupation in an area that is barely 10 km wide, 60 km in length.. And enclosed in two sides by high wall built by Israel and your only access to outside world is via internet or through long drive through Egyptian desert  highway.

Imagine when White Man's Supreme council , United Nations were formed, your country was member from the very beginning , because It was under "British Mandate", a sanctimonious term for "British colonies won after World War 1" ... and now UN only allows "A member of Palestinian Authority In West Bank".

If you are not white in skin colour, it will enhance your understanding of the situation. If you follow a faith or religion that is frowned upon by Neo-racist Western world, your understanding would be near Complete. 

But nothing beats the first hand experience of an Palestinian living in concentration Camp they call as "Gaza strip", so even I won't Understand what drove them to take up arms with Hamas and cross the border wall into South Israel (actually It's Occupied Land of Palestine ).

Except Death, Hamas's campaign offered nothing to Palestinian youth .. what level of hopelessness had reached there, that they had to take this extreme measure . 

It was at the beginning of this century, in the year 2000, US President Bill Clinton declared that two state solution will be worked out in presence Of PLO chief Arafat and Israeli PM Ehud Barak.

This was in Camp David, the Presidential holiday retreat of USA. I'm sure a certain senator from Delaware also sneaked in after these negotiations for free food of After-party. Yes, Dirty Pompous War Mongering Joe Biden was an influential senator in 2000.

OMG! CNN , BBC , Foxnews , DW never told you this..

But how could they, news media organisations has one purpose and one purpose only, in present times. Brainwashing its audience on behalf of its paymasters.

 Did you hear in any Western Media, this Gaza and Israel border is cordoned off by Israeli wall?

Even US backed Egyptian Dictator, General Al-Sisi made a border wall to please his Zionist masters in Washington and New York. You never heard about them in last 7 days.

Neither will Western Media tell you that walled, cordoned Gaza strip was target of Israeli Missile turkeyshoot once every alternative year.

If you think, Putin's RT will tell this truth.. forget it. Netanyahu has been helping Putin to evade western sanctions, not just now but since 2014.

These Border walls and regular airstrikes by Israel was not what was agreed by leaders in camp David!

What drove me to write this post is that Israel is now preparing by Massacre of Million plus Palestinians, hyped and cheered on by Bimbos and Zealots and Warmongers on CNN, BBC.

Propaganda is Netanyahu told everyone to evacuate Gaza City. 

Reality is : Israel is asking Gazans to leave all of their infrastructure.

 Every news media keeps saying Gaza is heavily populated, densely populated. Nobody tells the reason why?

Gaza was the site of UN run refugee Camp when Arab-Israeli wars happened. That's why they get UN and Arab aid. About 80%  Gazans are either refugees or descendants of refugees who fled from southern Palestine, what your modern-day bimbo anchoress' keep calling as South Israel. 

Are journalists that stupid, where would an refugee leave to? But Television Bimbos keep saying "They have to leave ".

Bimbos keep saying, Hamas killed children.. the number of Palestinians children killed by Israe in last 3 decades is more than the population of Estonia.

Even this week, Dozens of UN Aid workers were killed by Israel. Is Israeli action by any means Proportionate? HELL, NO.

Two wrongs don't make one right, One can condemn Hamas's action but one has to condemn War Criminals Netanyahu and His Irish cousin Joe Biden. 

UN, who has officials stationed in Gaza keeps saying half million internally displaced. Idiotic Ethiopian Jewish Chief of WHO keeps saying "We need another humanitarian corridor in Gaza"; well, dear stupid Doctor, Gaza itself is a humanitarian corridor 10 km wide and UN had recognised that in 1973. Even in Oslo Accord, Israel admitted that.

I guess things that happened 3 to 5 decades ago are neither venerated history nor current affairs story, so nobody remembers anything. Oslo Accord, Camp David Summit, Israeli siege of Gaza strip which contains UN refugee camp, Sea Blockade, Humanitarian Floatila voyages and Israeli troops firing on them .. all are forgotten.

Let's end this post with ..

Stop Genocide, Everywhere.

IndIan Media has converted India into Bogusland

Cyclone Mocha: Indian Media Has Converted India into BogusLand with the help of Indian Institutions like IMD and NDRF.

At the onset, it is better to inform you about 2 basic facts. 

1. Tropical cyclones originate over warm tropical sea waters.

 2. Internationally tropical seas are broken Into fiefdoms of few big meteorology offices and Northern Indian Ocean  along with bay of Bengal and Arabian sea falls under Indian Met Office... since colonial era.

So IMD has authority to name a tropical Storm, whenever it wants to.

What is unethical of IMD is declare early forecasts as sacrosanct track of cyclone . 

And Indian Media being a garbage magnet , picks up every fictional story like fleas pick up weak and feeble dog.

NDRF is bunch of hardly literate soldiers taken from Army who are never trained but always deployed on the basis of stupid IMD forecasts . 

Do The NDRF or Media understand the "Cone of Uncertainty" in projections of cyclone tracks? Let me share the current projections..

 

I have shared the current sea surface temperature (SST) from where it is getting its cyclonic energy, here.

What Is the point of Deploying 8 contingents of NDRF in West Bengal ,  when Mocha will be making Landfall in Arakan coast of Myanmar/Burma ?

How stupid can they get in Indian Media ? If they really want to help, NDRF teams should be in South Mizoram and they should check out flash-flood or landslide prone hillsides there and also other such places in India-Burma border.

As for Indian TV channels, they need to change their workforce, lock, stock and barrel. These lot will never learn. Bogus Land Media will keep on peddling Bogus news.

Dear Chief Justice of India

 Your Adani Scam Probe Expert Is Hardly Working on The Probe

Out of sheer curiosity, I checked the recent Tweets of Nandan Nilekani to get a hint of the progress of the expert probe panel experts. 

Does the Chief Justice know, the expert panel expert hardly had any time for Adani probe last week.. in his busy social calendar.

 On March 6th , he met Bill Gates.

Upto March 8th, he was busy giving lectures.. and sharing the YouTube videos of his interviews. 

I doubt that if the Expert Panel experts even read the Hindenburg Research Report , even 2-3 pages of it.

Let's see what Nandan Nilekani did next?

 Busy Congratulating RBI with a video message on March 9th .. some expert he is, the job the chief Justice of India gave him involves investigating Adani group company's shell accounts in Mauritius, Dubai, Cyprus, British Virgin Islands and other Tax havens.. here he is, sitting in Bangalore enjoying "Free Modi Payouts" .. Does he even know, how many of this countries follow British style of accounting and which follows, American style?? Some expert CJI chose!!

If you think Nandan Nilekani, will be joining the expert probe panel in the very near future? YOU ARE AGAIN MISTAKEN!!

Mr. Nilekani is looking forward to attend another conference, "International ODR forum" in Bangalore from March 18th..

So was this decision to create such a sham "Probe Panel" a hogwash, your Lordship? 

Has Narendra Modi already ordered "a clean chit" for Gautam Adani and Brothers? 

Your Lordship, was there pressure from Union Government to include Modi cronies like Nilekani and Kamath? Or is your judgement of character as lousy as your lofty claims, which look lovely only in "Fake Liberal Newspaper's Editorial"?

Are you aware that the Adani Probe Panel members are yet to get together, meet face to face with Hindenburg Research Report? 

Forget having anyone summoned to appear before them? How can anyone appear before them, as they themselves are not at same place?
