CHAPTER 137

EARTHLY PLANETS

A private company recorded a net profit of $3.6 billion for the year ending 31 March 2010. The profit before tax was $ 4.5 billion. The turnover was $ 44.5billion. It is equivalent to 20 per cent of the revenue of the Union Government.

An advocate had submitted to the Supreme Court that the brother of his client was getting a profit of $ 16.6 billion per year from a gas field. The above disclosure indicates that his assertion was a correct one. The company might have spread the profit among the sister companies.

The Constitution of India does not allow anyone to enjoy any profit - above a small amount - from a natural resource. If, however, the advocate had submitted a wrong statement, the Supreme Court should have brought this to the notice of the people.

Now, the Supreme Court is dithering to pronounce anything in this matter. The court believes that it could allow a few individuals to gain more and more by exploiting black gold, liquid gold and gas gold. This is a cause for the strife in India.

The Prime Minister of India on 24 April 2010 exhorted the local bodies to put an end to militancy. As in the previous chapter, this must be interpreted in the light of his decision to give $66.6 billion from the Provident Fund (PF) account to two or three boys. Any one would agree that this is his way of giving agony to Indians.

In online news, an internet service provider (ISP) – rediff. com - on 27 April 2010 described India as a vassal of China. It talked about the tactical naval base of China in Sri Lanka. It mentioned the growth and reach of Chinese naval power.

It must be noted that this writer was the first to use the word vassal in the above context. The media is now attributing the credit to some others.

The same ISP narrated the reasons why the Government would not win the war against the militant people. The moment the Government takes a decision to give FREEDOM to the people; the natural resources would come in the hands of the Government. Then, the militant people would throw away their gun. In this way, the Government could win the war very easily.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on 23 April 2010 arrested the President of the Indian Medical Council (IMC) for receiving a bribe. There were reports that the CBI found $0.4 billion in cash and 1500 kg of gold from his house and lockers. According to one report, a giant portion of his money had gone into foreign banks.

The mediators might have escaped with equal amount. A massive amount might have been invested in movable and immovable properties. A big amount might have been donated for charity. A colossal amount might have escaped the eye of the CBI.

Had the CBI been FREE, it would not have allowed a doctor to hoard money like this for such a long period of time.

Immediately, after affecting the arrest, the Director of the CBI said that his agency was not acting at the behest of the Government. But, a Union Minister, on the next day, said that the action of the CBI was due to the intervention of the Government. This gives the impression that the CBI acted only after getting specific information from him. The obvious conclusion is that the Minister - not the CBI - “lighted fire”.

Apparently, the applicants for Medical Colleges must get the approval of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) before going to the President of the IMC. Therefore, the President of the IMC must be the mediator of the mediators and the real greedy creature is the Union Government or the present and past Union Ministers. In fact, he might have received money on behalf of many ministers. Therefore, the CBI must release the names of the donors and acceptors of money immediately after interrogation.

The logical extension of the first letter dated 1-6-2001 is that the power to grant Medical Colleges would go into the hands of the State Governments and the MCI would play a supervisory role. Had that letter been considered in the proper perspective, such incidents would not have occurred at all.

The Union Government now decided to start 1000 more model schools all over India. It must be noted that the Union Budget for 2010-2011 did not mention this.

A Union Minister on 26 April 2010 asserted that the Government was not involved in phone tapping.

The telephone services are largely in the hands of some private individuals. All messages of the people roll in their hands. It is said that no one knows when a fish drinks water. Whenever they want, they take whatever they want.

The Speaker of Parliament on 28 April 2010 allowed a cut motion. In this matter the Speaker - a woman - released the woman in her and said that constitutional rights over-ridded practices. The Speaker did her duty considering this as her routine work. However, the Government expected her to disallow it based on certain conventions. After a shadow fighting, the motion was defeated.

The Speaker would lead the country upward. But, unless a metamorphosis occurs in the present system, the manipulators would not elevate the Speaker to the post of the Prime Minister of India or the President of India. All women leaders would be helpless in this matter. This is because the manipulators abhor the word ‘constitutional’ in the tenor of the Speaker.

The Prime Minister of India attended the South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation (SAARC) summit on 28 April 2010 at Thimpu, Bhutan. He allotted 50 seats in the premier educational institutions to the students of the SAARC nations. He wanted freer movement of ideas between the people of the SAARC countries. The fact that he does not allow freer movement of ideas within his country does not deter him from talking like this.

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have given tactical naval bases to China. As such, India should not have attended the summit unconditionally. But, the Prime Minister of India sat in the summit flanked by the President of Sri Lanka and the President of Bangladesh. Now the people fear that the Union Government consciously rewards the countries that undermine the interests of India.

Now, the Chief Justice of Madras High Court was elevated to the Supreme Court. At the same time, a sitting judge of the Supreme Court was promoted as the Chief Justice of India. The latter would take charge on 12 May 2010. Both judges own the shares of many companies. Therefore they are attached judges. Naturally, the media had a few words about them.

The promotions show that the Supreme Court is biased in favour of the attached judges. The desire or ignorance of some women leaders also contributed to it.

The above promotions would make the nationalization of the natural resources more difficult. Besides, the Supreme Court would become more obstinate in denying FREEDOM. Naturally, it would continue to remain as a cause for the strife until a force acts on it.

On 30 April 2010 the Government said that 74 per cent shares of the ICICI bank and the HDFC bank were owned by foreign institutional investors and foreign banks. It must be noted that unless otherwise denied a giant portion of the PF money is going to the ICICI bank for safe keeping.

Some Members of Parliament (MPs) are seeking the resignation of a Union Minister alleging corruption in the 2G spectrum auction. The Minister, however, is rejecting the allegation.

In this connection, it must be noted that the reasoning of the Supreme Court, apparently, is that no one shall talk or write anything that would hurt the feelings of anyone. If the reasoning were a correct one, no one shall level such corruption charges against any Union Minister or any other responsible person. But everyone says that a Union Minister amassed a huge amount of money. One political party even says that he looted over $22 billion. The media is publishing all allegations. This naturally affects his reputation.

The inference is that such allegations are part and parcel of politics. This work contains nothing serious than the above one. Yet, the Supreme Court is concealing this work. This is another reason for the strife in India. Therefore, the Chief Justice –before his retirement - must tell the reason why the Supreme Court denies FREEDOM of speech.

It is said that a man situated in a mode of passion and desire creates strife and lives on the earthly planets.

The facts from 23 April 2010 to 30 April 2010 are being submitted to Her Excellency the President of India on 1May, 2010.
