amiret Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 This 24x7 media feeding frenzy and outrage cycle will die down once they get tired/bored and Somnath Bharti is arrested . So what if she helped an alleged money launderer and fugitive , i am sure her intentions were noble. It is not as if she green lighted the murders of unarmed people in police custody. #ISupportSushmaSwaraj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeautifulGame Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Sushma Swaraj-Lalit Modi saga gets murkier as ED decides to study flow of money; Congress escalates attack NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate is all set to step up its investigation into an alleged money laundering case against former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi registered in Chennai. The agency has asked the Chennai police to hand over the details of bank accounts and properties identified during its fiveyear long probe, officials said. The case dates back to 2010 when on the complaint of the then Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary N Srinivasan, the state police had filed a case against Modi and others. ED later registered a case under stringent section of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and accused Modi of cheating and misappropriating funds to the tune of Rs 470 crore. The charges under PMLA, if proved, may lead to arrest and seizure of properties of the offender to the value of money defrauded. In the past five years, Chennai police is said to have collected details of bank accounts used by Modi. "We are seeking the details to study the flow of money from his various accounts to other accounts," said a senior official, who is part of the probe. Modi's counsel Mehmood Abdi had not responded to several calls and messages till late evening on Tuesday. Besides the seizure and arrest, a PMLA case also empowers the agency to seek cooperation from the UK since it is a criminal investigation unlike Foreign Exchange Management Act violations. The agency can seek help from its counterparts in the UK to record Modi's statement, something that the ex-IPL commissioner has been resisting. Modi is facing 16 cases of FEMA violations totalling Rs 1,700 crore and an adjudication process in these cases is under way. Contrary to the claims made by Modi's counsel on Monday, a blue corner notice is still against him, officials said. The notices were issued by Interpol on the request of Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), which was approached by ED. Both DRI and ED are investigating arms of the finance ministry. "The blue corner notice is valid in India and we have not yetit," said a top ED official. A blue corner notice is valid for five years and does not require yearly renewal, according to officials.

Yeah our foreign affairs minister has no knowledge of any of it despite her husband and daughter working as legal counsel for Modi.All just an oversight and all on humanitarian ground lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulGame Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Sushma's husband confirms he and his daughter represented Lalit Modi External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj’s husband and veteran lawyer Swaraj Kaushal on Tuesday confirmed that his daughter Bansuri – also a lawyer -- and he had been professionally associated with former Indian Premier League commissioner Lalit Modi. Kaushal however denied that Modi had helped his nephew secure admission in the Sussex University, echoing Sushma Swaraj’s clarification on twitter just after the controversy broke out. Replying to HT’s queries on whether his daughter Bansuri and he had appeared for Lalit Modi in the past, Kaushal texted: “Nephew’s admission is untrue. Rest is correct.” This came in the wake of allegations that Swaraj had in 2014 sought to facilitate travel documents for Modi, who had been charged with financial impropriety in India and has been staying in London since 2010. With allegations that Kaushal had requested Modi to help in getting his nephew admitted to Sussex University a year back, there were allegations of a quid pro quo. It was also alleged that Kaushal and his daughter Bansuri had appeared in court for Lalit Modi for years earlier. When HT asked him whether his or his daughter’s appearing for Modi and Swaraj seeking to facilitate his travel documents as India’s external affairs minister constituted a conflict of interest, Kaushal did not respond. Swaraj herself has said that she had sought to facilitate Modi’s travel on humanitarian grounds, as his wife had to travel to Portugal for cancer treatment. http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/sushma-swaraj-s-husband-confirms-he-and-his-daughter-represented-lalit-modi/article1-1359391.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desi Cartman Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 This keeps getting more interesting http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/2-months-after-lalit-modis-wife-surgery-rajasthan-signed-mou-with-lisbon-hospital/ Two months after surgery of Lalit Modi’s wife, Rajasthan govt signed MoU with Lisbon hospital The Rajasthan government signed a memorandum of understanding with a private Portuguese biomedical research organisation, the Champalimaud Foundation, to set up a state-of-the-art cancer institute in Jaipur, on October 2, 2014 — about two months after Lalit Modi’s wife Minal was treated at the Lisbon-based Champalimaud Center for the Unknown. [Read: Friends for long, Lalit Modi now an itch for Vasundhara Raje] Rajasthan Health Minister Rajendra Singh Rathore Tuesday said the state government was unaware of the connection. “We were not aware that Lalit Modi’s wife was treated at the same Portuguese hospital with which Rajasthan government signed an agreement,” he told reporters. Modi, however, said in an interview Tuesday that Raje had accompanied his wife to that hospital in 2012-2013 when he could not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think giving/not giving travel documents to Lalit Modi should have an effect on India-Britain relations? UPA Govt was of the opinion that it would have an effect - that IMO was really silly. He isn't exactly a Dawood Ebrahim or Edward Snowden (I don't consider Snowden to be a bad guy but US Govt does) type of guy. So if Sushma Swaraj told the British that IF they chose to give him travel documents, it would not effect relations, I really don't anything wrong in it.

It would have been okay if Sushma Swaraj had done that in response to the clarification sought by British Govt. But problem is Sushma Swaraj herself took initiative to help out a fugitive which doesn't look very appropriate. And also the fact that this was not done in public domain. You may feel differently but it was definitely error of judgement from Sushma Swaraj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it may have been an error of judgement in that she should have done it publicly (and I've said so in an earlier post in another thread) but it certainly is not something over which she needs to resign.

Khalpat Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I agree that it may have been an error of judgement in that she should have done it publicly (and I've said so in an earlier post in another thread) but it certainly is not something over which she needs to resign. I was also at first of the same opinion but after more and more revelations coming out, it seems she did not followed many procedures. The look out notice was given from Finance Ministry so at the least she should have informed the Finance Minister if not the Prime Minister. If she would have asked any of her secretaries they would have surely adviced her not to go ahead on her own. Then the travel document validity should have been a short term and also for specific purpose.So, Prima Facia it seems to be a case of mis judgement at huge level which was not at all expected from such a senior minister. Shivraj Singh struggling in vyapam, Vasundhara and Swaraj with #Lalitgate. It doesn't seem to be a good time for LK Advani team. Coincidentally these all three and mostly Vasundhara and Swaraj were the people who opposed Mr Modi PM candidature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congress ruled the country because they did the same who ever could have been danger for satta like Pilot, Scindia, Rao, Kesri, Veer Bahadur etc . This is not infighting but it is the Rajneeti of dominance. The same thing which Arvind Kejriwal did as soon as he became CM to kick out those who in future might become obstruction, the difference is Arvind method was childish and similar to a gali ka gunda. Modi is doing the same with chanakya neeti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't he realises that the biggest Aasteen Ka Saanp is Jaitley? I don't think Modi is that stupid to do all these. He's effing no competition from Shivraj, Sushma, Advani or Vasundhara...
