Hindenburg report on Adani: AAP demands probe into ‘biggest scam’

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday termed the allegations of financial fraud against the Adani Group as the “biggest scam” and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to order “a fair probe” into the matter.
In a letter to the prime minister, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh also demanded that the passport of Adani Group’s founder and chairman Gautam Adani along with that of “all the important people concerned” be also confiscated so that they do not leave the country till the completion of the probe.
The AAP’s demands came after a US-based firm, Hindenburg Research, last week released a report alleging that the Adani Group had “engaged in a brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme over the course of decades”.
The Adani Group’s listed companies have lost over USD 70 billion since the January 24 report that flagged high debt levels at the ports-to-energy conglomerate and the alleged use of offshore entities in tax havens.
Modi जी का मित्र Adani बोला Hindenburg Report ‘भारत पर हमला है’
अब हर चोरी को ये बोलेंगे, भारत पर हमला हो गया?
जो करोड़ों लोगों को लूट रहा है, उसका भ्रष्टाचार उजागर करना भारत पर हमला कैसे?
सदन में चर्चा हो।
कहां छिपी है ED, IT, SEBI?
क्यों चुप है Modi सरकार?

The group has denied all charges and threatened to sue the US firm.
“This is the biggest scam committed by Narendra Modi’s closest friend. Lakhs of crores of money of the investors have gone down the drain due to this. Allegations levelled against the Adani Group are very serious and cause of worry for crores of people of this country,” Singh, who is also AAP’s national spokesperson, told a press conference.
The AAP demands that “a fair and honest probe” be ordered into the matter so that truth comes out before the nation, he said.
“We also demand a JPC (joint parliamentary committee) probe into the matter. We will raise this issue during the ongoing Budget Session of Parliament,” he added.

Singh wrote to the prime minister on Monday, urging him to order a probe into the matter.
In his five-page letter to the prime minister, Singh listed the allegations levelled by Hindenburg Research against the Adani Group and said the US firm’s report brings forth “several serious examples and proofs of how the Adani Group and its affiliates are cheating the government, regulators and investors.”
With the US firm’s report, it has become “a very serious matter” and calls for immediate action, the AAP leader noted.
“It is our demand that after registration of a case in this matter as soon as possible, an honest and a fair investigation into each and every aspect be started,” Singh said in his letter to the prime minister.
The passports of all the important people concerned, including Adani Group’s founder and chairman Gautam Adani, should also be confiscated “so that all these people cannot leave the country until the investigation is complete and the truth comes out,” the AAP leader added.

Masoodi Demands Reversal Of Decision To Auction JKCL

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Hasnain Masoodi, Member of Parliament today called on RR Bhatnagar Advisor to LG and highlighted adverse consequences of dust pollution and emissions from half a dozen cement factories and limestone mines operating in Khrew on agriculture, horticulture, public health, top soil, underground water and other components of ecosystem in the area.
He lamented that though the cement industry was collecting huge profit, at the cost of the health and economic avenues of the local population and use of local resources, yet very little is being done to compensate the local population adversely affected by the ever increasing pollution. Masoodi demanded that the administration should facilitate dialogue with the cement industry and persuade it to adopt the local area, contribute to its development and provide for the utilities and amenities like electricity, water etc to the affected population as is the practice across the country.
Masoodi emphasising that any further emissions and dust pollution would be beyond carrying capacity of the local environment, demanded that instead of auction to set up a new cement plant, JKCL area be used to set up an industrial estate with eco-friendly and non-polluting industrial units to be set up by local unemployed youth, and a part of it be earmarked for setting up degree college and other facilities in the area. Masoodi demanded that 51 DRW who have spent a good part of their life serving JKCL and have been left behind be, like other employees of JKCL deputed to other departments. He submitted a written request with the supporting documents in this regard. The Advisor assured to look into the issues raised including the plight of 51 left out DRW of JKCL.

All-party meet ahead of Budget: YSR Cong demands caste-based economic census

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The YSR Congress on Monday demanded a nationwide caste-based economic census at an all-party meet convened by the government ahead of the Budget session of Parliament.
It is necessary to know the economic status of the backward castes who are “lagging behind” on social and development indicators, the party said.
YSR Congress leader Vijaysai Reddy said backward castes are over 50 percent of the total population and the census will help find their economic status.
The ruling party in Andhra Pradesh has joined the likes of the JD(U) and the RJD, both of which have demanded a caste census.
The grand alliance government in Bihar has rolled out a state-wide caste census.
Reddy said his party also demanded the women quota bill for ensuring reservation for them in Parliament.
Parties including the TRS, TMC, and the BJD also supported the demand.

Karnataka AAP demands transparency in probe into ‘Santro Ravi’s’ Case

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: The Karnataka unit of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has posed several questions to the ruling BJP government in Karnataka about the investigation in power broker ‘Santro Ravi’s’ case.
K.S. Manjunath, also known as ‘Santro Ravi’, was nabbed by the Gujarat Police earlier this moth. The alleged human trafficker was on the run for the past 11 days. Ravi was in the eye of a political storm over his alleged role in police transfers and links to several politicians. He has at least 21 criminal cases lodged against him related to human trafficking, murder, fraud, and kidnapping.
Speaking to the press at the party office here, AAP’s communication in-charge for Karnataka, Brijesh Kalappa, said, “It has been over two weeks since the arrest of Santro Ravi, but the government has not goven any information about the investigation. Are they trying to shield him or do away with him?”
Kalappa asked several pointed questions to the government, including why Ravi was apprehended in Gujarat and not in Karnataka, what was the reason for his visit to Gujarat, and who were the people with whom Ravi had business dealings.
He also questioned the government’s lack of action against those who may have helped Ravi amass a wealth of Rs 1000 crore, and asked why the ED, CBI, or the Income Tax department are not probing how Ravi acquired so much money.
In response to a question about ADGP Alok Kumar’s comment that the investigation only pertains to the harassment complaint filed by Ravi’s wife, Kalappa said, “Why is the ADGP not investigating the links of this white-collar criminal with the politicians? Alok Kumar should not give in to political pressure. If he is working on the behest of politicians, he is incompetent to hold to his post.”
Kalappa also asked who helped Ravi stay in the Kumara Kurpa government guest house and questioned the reported overdose of drugs found in Ravi’s system. He compared the lack of information about Ravi’s case to that of Ajmal Kasab, pointing out that the public had more information about Kasab’s whereabouts and daily activities.
“Of the three political parties, both Congress and JD(S) have fallen silent on the issue of Santro Ravi, after Ravi himself said that he has provided his services to all the three political parties. They are hand-in-glove in both Santro Ravi and Shirki’s case and are happy with the government’s inaction against these criminals,” the AAP leader said.

Pawan Kalyan warns against demands to further divide Andhra Pradesh

[ad_1]
Amaravati: Jana Sena Party (JSP) President Pawan Kalyan on Thursday warned leaders against speaking for separate statehood to North Andhra and Rayalaseema regions of Andhra Pradesh.
The actor-politician said that if someone speaks in separatist tones to split the state further, they would not see another extremist like him.
In his address at the Republic Day celebrations at the party office near Mangalagiri in Guntur district, he warned the leaders that if they speak of dividing the state further, this would have serious consequences.
Pawan Kalyan said it was unfortunate that Revenue Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao proposed statehood for the North Andhra districts while former minister Byreddy Rajasekhar Reddy wanted a separate Rayalaseema state.
He asked these leaders to introspect what they had done for their respective regions, and explain how new states would help in achieving development.
The JSP leader alleged that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) was stoking regional feelings to achieve its political objectives.
He exhorted people to raise a banner of revolt against the “draconian” government of the YSRCP by drawing inspiration from the youth of Telangana who had fought for separate state and achieved it in spite of many difficulties.
The actor told the partymen that he had not entered politics to become Chief Minister overnight. Stating that he has an ideology for the next 25 years, he made it clear that it will not change once in five years for elections.

He observed that the people of Andhra Pradesh were apparently obsessed with their castes more than the common good, which was the reason for other states stealing a march on it.
He alleged that law and order deteriorated due to the inefficiency of the government. He said the government ensured that no one dared to question its policies and actions by implicating people, mainly leaders of the opposition parties, in false cases.
He alleged that YSRCP cadres were behind the arson that had taken place in Amalapuram over the naming of Konaseema district after B.R. Ambedkar. It was a conspiracy to derive political mileage by driving a wedge between various castes, but nobody knew about the fate of this case, he said.
Pawan slammed Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for having no confidence in the state police. He said nothing has so far happened in the Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy murder and the infamous ‘Kodi Kathi’ case.
Vivekananda Reddy, a former minister and uncle of Jagan Mohan Reddy, was murdered just before the 2019 elections.
‘Kodi Kathi” case relates to the attack on Jagan Mohan Reddy at Visakhapatnam Airport in 2018 by a youth with a knife used in cockfights.

Karnataka: Evict non-Hindu shops at Murdeshwar temple, demands Raja Singh

[ad_1]
Telangana’s suspended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA T Raja Singh who visited the Murdeshwar temple in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka has posted a video appealing to the BJP-run Karanataka government to evict non-Hindu shops that are present near the beachside.
In the video, Raja Singh who came for a two-day stay at the temple to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva, shows the beachside brimming with enthusiastic tourists. The camera then pans to Raja Singh where he says, “Many sheds owned by non-Hindus have set up business here.”
Without taking names of any specific religion, Raja Singh further adds, “They are non-Hindu believers and eat beef. All these sheds have encroached on the land illegally. They fry sea animals and make money by selling them. By now you must know what religion I am talking about.”
Raja appealed to the Karnataka state government saying he was very impressed by the way they handled the hijab issue. “I also know how the government deals with illegal encroachment, especially near temples. I request the Karnataka state government to ensure Murdeshwar temple is free from illegal non-Hindu encroachers,” he said.

Maha governor’s resignation proposal: Congress demands President sack Koshyari

[ad_1]
Mumbai: The Congress on Monday demanded Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, who has expressed the desire to quit, be sacked by the President and not allowed to quit while the Shiv Sena (UBT) faction took a dig saying “better late than never”.
The Congress and NCP, both members of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) along with Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) faction, also said Koshyari should have written to the President to discharge him of all responsibilities if he believed the position of the governor is Constitutional and not political one.
Koshyari, who has been in the line of Opposition fire over his remarks on Chhatrapati Shivaji and shared a tumultuous relationship with the Opposition, on Monday said he has expressed a desire before Prime Minister Narendra Modi to quit the post.
Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole alleged when MVA was in power (from November 2019 to June 2022), Koshyari’s conduct and mentality as the governor was to break the Constitutional order.
“Instead of writing a letter to the President to whom the position of governor is connected, Koshyari wrote a letter to the Prime Minister. He should not be relieved of his responsibilities but sacked from the post,” Patole told reporters.
He alleged Koshyari made objectionable statements against icons like Chhatrapati Shivaji, Savitribai Phule, Jyotiba Phule and Babasaheb Ambedkar and has turned the Raj Bhavan into a Bharatiya Janata Party office.
He said the Congress has been insisting on the removal of the governor over his controversial statements but the BJP was in agreement with the governor’s opinion.
“We request the President that the governor should be expelled. Do not let him go voluntarily,” he added.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and spokesperson Arvind Sawant said Koshyari cannot be absolved of his extra-Constitutional acts.
Sawant questioned the basis on which the governor had administered the oath to an “extra-Constitutional” chief minister, a reference to CM Eknath Shinde, last June.
“It is better late than never,” Sawant said.
NCP spokesperson Clyde Crasto tweeted, “Hon’ble Governor of Maharashtra Mr. Bhagat Singh Koshyari ji surely knows that the position of a Governor is constitutional and not political. If he believed so, he would have written to the Hon’ble President of India to discharge him of all his constitutional responsibilities”.

Telangana BJP demands scrapping of controversial GO

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Leaders and activists of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) on Monday tried to lay siege to Telangana Chief Minister’s official residence Pragathi Bhavan in support of the demand of teachers to amend the Government Order 317 to enable spouses to work in the same district.
Police detained the protestors when they tried to advance towards Pragathi Bhavan and shifted them to Panjagutta police station.
A police constable was injured when he fell on the windscreen of the bus when he was allegedly pushed by the protestors who were detained and being shifted to the police station.
BJP minority morcha activists also tried to advance towards the Chief Minister’s official residence but were detained by police. The protestors were physically lifted and shifted to waiting police vehicles.
Government school teachers had on Sunday staged a protest at Pragathi Bhavan demanding the scrapping of or amendment to the GO, saying injustice was being done to them.
Meanwhile, BJP state President Bandi Sanjay Kumar has demanded that the GO be scrapped immediately. He said the BRS government has kept the problem pending for two years.
Sanjay alleged hundreds of teachers were suffering due to the lacunae in the GO. He said as transfers of spouses were stopped in 13 districts, this was causing severe hardships to teachers. He claimed that 34 teachers committed suicide due to the GO.
The BJP leader said if the government failed to scrap or amend the GO, teachers will be forced to go on strike.

Sanjay condemned the arrest of teachers who were staging protests along with their children. He urged the police not to use force against teachers and reminded them that they are also government employees.
The BJP leader said if the BRS failed to resolve the demand of teachers, the BJP would amend the GO and ensure justice to teachers after coming to power in the state.
The GO was issued on December 6, 2021 with a zonal system in allocation of jobs. The zonal system was introduced after Telangana was reorganised into 33 districts from 10 in 2016.
