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?
