Analysis of Demands of Baba Ramdev –
Demand One - demand the death penalty for corrupt officials
Yes I agree with this demand. If we will demand death punishment then government will agree for life imprisonment for corruption.
Demand 2 of Baba Ramdev Baba –
A ban on high-denomination currency notes - Recall and abolish all highest currency denominations – 1000, 500, 100
Yes I totally agree with this demand of Baba Ramdev regarding ban on high-denomination currency notes - Recall and abolish all highest currency denominations – 1000, 500, 100
Demand No.3 of Baba Ramdev - Recovery of black money - Immediately declare all wealth in foreign countries being held by Indians illegally, as National Property
Yes I totally agree with this demand. Government should declare it as a national property immediately.

Yes I totally agree with this demand.
Demand No.5 of Baba Ramdev – Immediately sign and ratify the UNCAC – United Nations Convention against Corruption
Yes I agree with Baba Ramdev.
But now here is the problem that media has reported that Baba Ramdev says that Prime Minister and judiciary should not come under Lokpal.
Now if we sign the UNCAC convention ,it clearly says that a separate agency should be established which will investigate President and Prime Minister every one from top to bottom.
So here Baba Ramdev needs to think on this Issue.
Please tell me in India which agency separate independent we got in India to investigate
Corruption done by the Prime Minister or Judiciary.
Demand No.6 of Baba Ramdev – putting an end to the ‘British rule’ in democratic India - Remove all English (British) based system from all parts of the country
It is impossible to do this, we need to change and bring amendments to existing laws.

Election Reform – Prime Minister should be directly elected by the Citizens of India.
Yes I Agree with this demand Not Only Prime Minister but people should elect directly the chief minister also.
8.
Everyone should declare annually the income, not only at the time of elections.
Yes I agree with this demand.
9.
Income Tax Details should be brought under the Right to information Act.
Yes I agree with this demand
We do not want religious Hindu or Muslim India.
We want democratic India where Constitution of India will be supreme.
The constitution of India should be on top of every religious book.

Compulsory Drug Test in Florida if you want Food Stamp or Government Help in Florida
Compulsory Drug Test in Florida if you want Food Stamp or Government Help in Florida
Florida Governor Rick Scott (R) signed legislation into law on Tuesday that requires anyone applying for temporary government assistance to pay for and undergo drug screening.
The Scott campaign website (which is now run by the Republican Party of Florida) posted a statement about the bill signing, calling it a “promise kept”:
It reads as follows:
Start –
Today, I signed HB 353, keeping my promise to require drug screening for welfare recipients.
The bill is designed to increase personal accountability and prevent Florida’s tax dollars from subsidizing drug addiction, while still providing for needy children.
Parents failing the required drug test may designate another individual to receive the benefits on behalf of the children.
While there are certainly legitimate needs for public assistance, it is unfair for Florida taxpayers to subsidize drug addiction.
This new law will encourage personal accountability and will help to prevent the misuse of tax dollars.
End –
Under this law families who will demand the help of state must go under the drug test.
If family fails the test the family will not be given assistance.
Under the new law, applicants for the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program who test positive for illegal drug use won't be eligible to receive benefits for one year or until they successfully complete a drug abuse program. Those who don't test positive will be reimbursed for the cost of the test.
Recipients of state assistance must pay for the drug tests themselves, and will be reimbursed by the state if they get a negative result.
Recipients who pass the test would be reimbursed the cost of which could run from $10 to $70.
Thus this will increase the business for Hospitals who will provide the tests.
Taxpayers will reimburse welfare applicants for negative drug tests.
Positive tests will carry an immediate ban on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families for six months.
A second positive test will result in a three-year ban on state assistance.
Parents who fail drug tests can get benefits for their children by naming a state-approved designee to collect the money. That designee must also pass a drug test.
About 233,000 Floridians applied for cash assistance in 2009-10, including 114,000 families, according to DCF statistics. This month, 93,170 Floridians received cash assistance, a drop of 8.3 percent from a year ago.
Legally speaking and thinking this law seems to be unconstitutional.
Once the law is challenged it will be interesting to see what happens with this law.
In year 2003 a Michigan law that required welfare recipients to receive random drug testing was struck down as unconstitutional by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
Because of this law corruption will increase.
The people who take the drugs will take such a drugs which will not be detected by drug tests.
Cocaine or heroin flush quickly through bloodstream but marijuana remains detectable for two weeks or longer.
The families who are get tested and are not taking drugs will feel like humiliated.
It is the duty of the state to help the poor people.
It is the duty of the state to stop the sellers of drugs from selling drugs to citizens of USA.
This clearly shows that Government can not stop drug makers thus they want to punish the innocent people who take drugs.
Who takes the drugs, one has to see what is the reason one is taking or turned to drugs.
What if someone lost job and he turned to drugs in depression?
Why not make a law which will monthly check the Governor and his family for drug abuse including all the elected politicians and if found taking drugs life time ban to contest elections?

Tehelka Expose - Rs.700 Crore Scam by Dayanidhi Maran in relation with Maxis Aircel Complete Story
Tehelka Expose - Rs.700 Crore Scam by Dayanidhi Maran in relation with Maxis Aircel Complete Story
Mr. Maran, now Union Minister for Textiles, has threatened to sue Tehelka over this expose.
But Tehelka has not received any Legal Notice Yet.
Pursuant to Supreme Court’s order dated 8 December 2010 instructing the
CBI to widen its ongoing 2G probe beyond Raja and include all the licenses and spectrum allotments done since 2001, the CBI had registered a Preliminary Inquiry against unknown persons to look into possible criminal aspects in the telecom policy since 2001.
While doing the investigation Tehelka Team found out that
Much bigger than the A Raja-Kalaignar TV kickback is the Rs 700 Crore that the Maran brothers got from Maxis.
In November 2006, then Telecom Minister Maran granted 14 (UASL) for Aircel.
UASL (Unified Access Service Licenses)
The license, along with the startup 2G spectrum, was awarded at the same price at which later Raja gave away 2G licenses to Swan, Unitech and a host of other players in 2008
In 2001 Aircel paid Rs 1,399 Crore for 14 telecom circles, the price was arrived at through an auction process.
If the CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General) valuation of 2G licenses is taken as a yardstick, the value of Aircel licenses cleared by Maran would amount to approximately Rs 22,000 Crore. But Aircel paid just Rs 1,399 Crore.
As per the CAG’s valuation of 2G licenses, these 14 licenses could have fetched the government over Rs 22,000 Crore, if they had been auctioned in a competitive bid.
The telecom licenses to Aircel were awarded after about two years of ‘unwarranted’ delay on the part of the DoT headed by Maran at the time.
On 26 May 2004, Maran took over as telecom minister
May 2004 –
Aircel’s applications for new circles were pending since Maran’s takeover as
minister for communications and IT.
Owner of the company - the company was owned by C Sivasankaran, the chairman of Siva Group (earlier known as Sterling InfoTech Group).
On 1 June 2005, while Maran was in the saddle, Sivasankaran wrote him a letter alleging that his applications for new licenses were being sabotaged by “some powerful element in the ministry”.
Though he refrained from putting the blame on Maran, he wrote: “The Sterling Group are intrigued by the attitude of the DoT and we, who have been dealing with the DoT for a whole decade and more, have never had this kind of frozen feeling.
Unable to fathom why there is a complete lack of response from the DoT we brought the issues to your notice…. Yet there has been no progress in our matter, nor is there any difference seen in the attitude of the DoT.”
The letter further read: “In this situation we cannot help to conclude that some powerful element in the Ministry/Government seems bent on stifling matters relating to the Sterling InfoTech Group.”
While Maran was minister, DoT not only delayed the issuance of new licenses to Aircel, it also delayed the allotment of spectrum for the licenses that had already been issued before Maran became the minister. Justice Patil’s report has called this delay as unjustified.
SOMETHING AS small as the request for name change made by Sivasankaran
was also not cleared by Maran.
On 4 April 2005 Sivasankaran wrote to Maran:
“Consequent to change in the name of the company from Dishnet DSL Ltd to
Dishnet Wireless Ltd, we have made a request for effecting the change of the
name of the company in UAS licence.
This is pending for the last eight months.
Such a request is normally cleared at the lowest levels in the administration and
instantly.”
In the same letter, Sivasankaran further wrote: “I am bringing these unusual
occurrences to the Hon’ble Minister’s notice only to show how there appears to
be some unspoken convergence in the delays and denials.”
In October 2005, he received an ‘unsolicited offer’ from Malaysia-based Maxis Communications to acquire Aircel. Since the cap on FDI in telecom sector was 74 percent, the remaining 26 percent was picked up by Reddys of Apollo Hospital. On 30 December 2005, Maxis and Aircel signed the agreement
Siva Group formed another telecom company named S-Tel, which was granted licences for six circles by A Raja in 2008. S-Tel is now being investigated by the CBI for
suspected illegal gains
on 28 February 2006, Maran wrote a letter to Manmohan Singh and asked
spectrum pricing to be kept out of GoM’s purview.
same like Raja.
March 2006 –
Malaysian business tycoon T Ananda Krishnan bought 74 percent stake in Aircel.
T Ananda Krishnan is the son of SriLankan Tamils.
Krishnan paid Rs 3,390.82 Crore for 74 percent equity in Aircel.
After six months Ananda Krishnan’s takeover of Aircel, the ministry granted Aircel the much-vaunted licenses in 14 cash-rich circles.
This took Aircel from a small regional player to a pan-India operator.
Today, Aircel is the seven biggest telecom operator in the country with its net worth valued in the range of $7.5-$8 billion.
February 2007 –
The annual report of Sun Direct TV for the year 2007- 08 showed their aggregate revenue as Rs 61.16 Crore while its losses amounted to Rs 73.27 Crore.
four months after the licences were granted to Aircel, Ananda Krishnan through one of his group companies, South Asia Entertainment Holding Ltd (SAEHL) invested $150 million (roughly Rs 600 Crore) in a phased manner in Sun Direct TV Pvt Ltd by acquiring 20 percent equity in the company owned and run by Dayanidhi’s brother Kalanidhi and his wife Kaveri Maran.
The equity investment was cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs.
Almost simultaneously, the Maran family was allotted about 12.6 Crore additional equity shares in Sun Direct TV to maintain their total equity at 80 percent.
But unlike the staggering rate at which the Maxis Group picked up the Sun Direct shares, the allotment to the Marans was made at par value of Rs 10 per share without charging any premium.
Between February 2008 and July 2009, the Maxis Group invested Rs 100 Crore more in another Maran family-owned company named South Asia FM Ltd which owns Sun FM radio network.
Maxis Group subsidiary South Asia Multimedia Technologies Limited (SAMT) invested Rs 50 Crore in equity of South Asia FM Ltd and Rs.43.9 Crore in preference shares of SAFL.
Maxis- Sun TV and Maxis-Sun FM deals qualify as quid pro quo on similar lines as
the Rs 200 Crore Balwa-Kalaignar deal?
The CBI has charged Raja for fraudulent implementation of the first-come-first serve policy of granting licences.
The question that arises is whether Maran was also guilty of a fraudulent implementation of first-come-first-serve policy in his alleged bid to favor Aircel, post Maxis buy-out?
This is the same case A. Raja and his 2G scam, in this also it is same give and take.
You give me license and I will see that your loss making unit survives and becomes profit making.
I will buy shares of your loss making company by paying premium price for each share but I will keep you owner of your loss making company.
Corruption is our religion Let us make corruption a fundamental right of every Indian.

Government wants Lokpal only for Namesake Government and Civil society disagree on all points in a meeting held on May 30, 2011
Government wants Lokpal only for Namesake Government and Civil society disagree on all points in a meeting held on May 30, 2011
Details of Lokpal Bill drafting committee meeting held on May 30, 2011
On May 30, 2011 Once again drafting committee members met and started their discussions on the draft of the Bill.
Drafting committee has two teams one team represents the politicians and other team represents you and me all Indian citizens who are the owners only for the name sake.
So exactly what happened in today’s meeting?
Point One – Prime Minister and Lokpal –
Government team representing politicians said that Prime Minister should not be covered under Lokpal.
Then civil society members said that a seven member bench of Lokpal would first hear that complaint and decide whether there was an adequate prima facie evidence against the PM. If there were none, the complaint would be dismissed. However, government did not agree.
In short government said that whatever may be complaint, complaint may be true or false
Prime Minister will not come under the Lokpal.
Point 2 – Judiciary and Lokpal
Government said that “Judiciary would be out of Lokpal.
Civil society said that against a Judge a seven member bench of Lokpal will decide whether an FIR should be registered against a judge or not.
Today only Supreme Court of India got this power.
Only Chief Justice of India has the power to give that permission. And despite so much evidence against so many judges in public domain, permission had been given only in one case in the last 20 years.
In this government said that Judiciary must stay independent it will not come under Lokpal.
In the meeting held on 7th May, Prashant Bhushan had even told Mr. Chidambaram how Mr. Chidambaram himself had sought permission to register FIR against Justice Sen Gupta of Kolkatta High Court. Permission was sought from the then Chief Justice of India, Justice Venkatachaliah, who is very well known for his integrity. However, even Justice Venkatachaliah did not give permission. Was the evidence against Justice Sen Gupta strong enough? The strength of the evidence can be gauged from the fact that Justice Sen Gupta was raided and arrested soon after he retired because after retirement, permission of CJI was not required.
However, the government did not agree saying it would compromise the independence of judiciary.
We said that the independence of judiciary was compromised under the present system which was encouraging corruption. Government said that judiciary should be dealt under Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill, which was pending in Parliament.
We told them that the said Bill was very bad and would end up protecting corrupt judges rather than punishing them. Also, interestingly, the said Bill does not even talk of punishing and prosecuting “corruption” of judges. It only talks of enquiring against their “Misbehavior”.
The government said that they would include corruption also in the said bill. Then we said, if you want to include judiciary’s corruption in that bill, let this committee decide on drafting that Bill also.
To that they refused. They said – you give your suggestions and we will recommend them to the Standing committee.
This means that the government wants to include judiciary in a weak and ineffective Bill and does not want their corruption to be dealt through a strong and effective mechanism.
Point No.3 – MPs bribery inside Parliament will not be covered
If a MP takes bribe to vote or ask questions in Parliament, which would not be covered under Lokpal. Only his conduct outside will be covered.
What does an MP do outside Parliament? Just recommend projects out of his Constituency fund.
There too, he merely recommends and the project is executed by the officers. Therefore, effectively, all MPs would be outside the purview of Lokpal. Purchase and sale of MPs is endangering the very foundations of our democracy.
They may be purchased not just by other parties but could be purchased by other countries or corporates.
Therefore, in order to save our democracy, it is extremely important that this is covered under Lokpal.
However, the Government said that the Parliament should be allowed to do “self regulation”. We told them that this self regulation had not worked and their corruption should be investigated by some independent body.
They simply refused.
Point No.4 –
All officers will not be covered under Lokpal : Only Joint Secretary and above will be covered. Who will deal with corruption at levels below that?
They said that the existing system would continue. But the existing system was not working.
They had no answers.
We said that the common man wants an answer to corruption in his day to day life – bad roads, corruption in PDS etc.
Who will deal with it? We said that the whole country had risen against corruption to seek solutions to corruption at all levels.
Point No 5 –
CBI, CVC and departmental vigilance will not be merged in Lokpal: Government said that let all these agencies continue.
Let Lokpal have its own machinery.
But why does the government want to keep a CBI under its own control?
It appears that the Prime Minister does not want to be investigated by an independent body but will get himself investigated by CBI, which is directly under his own control. Also, CBI has been misused by every successive government to arm twist politically inconvenient opponents. Government perhaps wants to continue doing that.
Point No.6 –
Public Grievances: Government agreed to the concept of citizen’s charter and that violation of citizen’s charter would be deemed to be corruption at some stage of up scaling of a grievance.
Justice Santosh Hegde asked the government – “Then who is covered under Lokpal? And what is the purpose of creating such a Lokpal?”
Effectively, the Lokpal would have jurisdiction only on Joint Secretary and above officers but not on the PM. There would be around 2000 such odd officers in Government of India. Are we creating Lokpal for investigating corruption of such a few officers? Was this the purpose of such a big anti-corruption movement in India?
Definitely government’s intentions are suspect. Please prepare yourself for the next huge movement in the country.
But if the government disagrees, we should be ready to take to the streets.
