गुरुमूर्ति जी का दिल्ली में भ्रष्टाचार के विरुद्ध कार्यक्रम


प्रेस विज्ञप्ति
भ्रष्टाचार एवं उच्चस्थ लोगों द्वारा विदेशों में जमा काला धन
स्वदेशी जागरण मंच के सहसंयोजक श्री एस. गुरूमूर्ति ने यह आरोप लगाया कि श्रीमति सोनिया गान्धी और यूपीए सरकार का भ्रष्टाचार को जारी रखने में निहित स्वार्थ है और इसलिए वे भ्रष्टाचारियों और देश के धन को विदेशों में जमा रखने वालों के खिलाफ कोई कारवाई नहीं करेंगे।
दिल्ली के कांस्टीटयूशन क्लब के खचाखच भरे स्पीकर हॉल में श्रोताओं को सम्बोधित करते हुए यह प्रश्न किया जब सत्ता में बैठे लोगों के अपने खाते टैक्स हैवन देशों में हैं तो वो उन लोगों के नाम कैसे उजागर कर सकते है, जिन्होंने देश का धन गैर कानूनी रूप से विदेशों में जमा कर रखा है। हसल अली मामले का खुलासा करते हुए उन्होंने कहा कि आज हर कोई जानता है कि हसन अली के पास किन का पैसा था। जब उसका नाम सोनिया गान्धी के खास सहयोगी अहमद पटेल सहित कांग्रेस के बड़े नेताओं के साथ जुड़ा है तो इस मामले में सरकार की ओर से कोई कारवाई की अपेक्षा नहीं की जा सकती। यह तो 2011 में न्यायालय की देखरेख में सरकारी एजेंसियों को जब काम करने के लिए बाध्य किया गया तो इस मामले में हलचल शुरू हुई। लेकिन 2007 से 2011 के बीच हसन अली और उसके आकाओं को पैसा छिपाने के लिए पूरे 4 वर्ष दे दिए गए। गुरूमूर्ति की यह टिप्पणी केन्द्रीय वित्तीय मन्त्री प्रणव मुखर्जी के बयान पर थी जिसमें उन्होंने कहा था कि हसल अली के खातों में कोई पैसा नहीं था। उन्होंने पूछा ऐसा कैसे हो सकता हैर्षोर्षो
श्री गुरूमर्ति ने इस बात पर जोर दिया कि भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ लड़ाई राजनैतिक स्तर पर ही हो सकती है। उन्होंने विपक्षी राजनैतिक पार्टियों को भी इस बात के लिए लताड़ा कि वे भी इस लड़ाई को ठीक प्रकार से नहीं लड़ रहें। उन्होंने कहा कि यह लड़ाई विचारधारा एवं अच्छाई व बुराई के बीच लड़ाई है और यह जरूरी नहीं यह अच्छे लोगों और बुरे लोगों के बीच की लड़ाई नहीं है।
आज भ्रष्टाचार का यह दानव अन्तराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर आतंकवाद के लिए धन जुटा रहा है। गरीब लोगों का पैसा अमीरों की जेब में पहुंच रहा है। उन्होंने यह कहा कि पिछले 20 वषो± में वैिश्वक जी.डी.पी. 80 प्रतिशत बढ़ी, जबकि अमीरजादों की व्यक्तिगत सम्पत्ति 475 प्रतिशत बढ़ गई है।
श्री गुरूमूर्ति स्वदेशी जागरण मंच द्वारा भ्रष्टाचार एवं उच्चस्थ लोगों द्वारा विदेशों में जमा काले धन के मुद्दे पर आयोजित गोष्ठी में बोल रहे थे। इस प्रकार काले धन को विदेशों में रखने वालों को बचाने के लिए सरकारें प्रयास करती है, इस विषय में रहस्योउदघाटन करते हुए उन्होंने उच्चतम न्यायालय में महाराष्ट्र सरकार पुलिस अधिकारी श्री अशोक देश बरतर के शपथ पत्र को पढ़कर सुनाया। इस शपथ पत्र में महाराष्ट्र के तीन मुख्यमन्त्रिओं और प्रधानमन्त्री कार्यालय के लोगों के नाम दर्ज है, जो हसन अली के साथ मिलकर काम करते थे।
दिल्ली के पूर्व उपराज्यपाल श्री विजय कपूर ने अपने अध्याक्षीय उद्बोधन में कहा कि सरकार भ्रष्टाचार के मुद्दे को टाल नहीं रही बल्कि विभिन्न प्रकार से भरमाने का प्रयास भी कर रही है। उन्होंने कहा कि वर्तमान कानून भ्रष्टाचार से लड़ने के लिए पर्याप्त है लेकिन लोकपाल बिल के नाम पर वर्तमान सरकार लोगों को भरमाने का काम कर रही है। वर्तमान सरकार की भ्रष्ट लोगों को सजा देने की कोई नीयत नहीं है। जबकि उनके खिलाफ पुख्ता सबूत मौजूद है।
स्वदेशी जागरण मंच के पूर्व संयोजक श्री मुरलीधर राव ने भ्रष्टाचार के मुद्दे पर सरकार द्वारा स्पष्ट नीति अपनाने और वर्तमान आरोपों के सन्दर्भ में कारवाई करने का आहवान किया। उन्होंने इस बात पर बल दिया कि इसके लिए प्रभावी कार्य योजना की आवश्यकता है।
भारतीय मजूदर संघ के महामन्त्री श्री बैजनाथ राय ने इस अवसर पर कहा कि अच्छाई घर से प्रारम्भ होती है और आरोप लगाया कि वर्तमान सरकार ने राष्ट्रीय चरित्र का हृास किया है।

Corruption & Black money parked abroad by High Profile People


CorruptioCorruption & Black money parked abroad by High Profile People
S. Gurumurthy, co-convener, Swadeshi Jagaran Manch, today charged that Sonia Gandhi and UPA government that have vested interest in protecting corruption can never take action on the front of prosecuting those who have stashed money in tax havens in foreign country.
When they themselves have their money in foreign countries how can they be expected to act to disclose the names of those having illegal foreign accounts, he asked a jam-packed speaker’s hall at the constitution club.
Listing the case of Hasan Ali, he said that everyone knew whose money Hasan Ali played with. When his name is closely associated with congress leaders and Sonia’s most trusted Lieutenant Ahmed Patel, one cannot expect action on this front. It is only after the court supervision in 2011 that the government agencies have started acting. But the period between 2007 and 2011 has given Ali and his patrons four years to hide the money somewhere else.
Gurumurthy was commenting on the statement of Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee that there was no money in Hasan Ali’s Accounts. How could it be? he asked.
Gurumurthy Stressed that the fight against corruption has to happen at the political level. He lamented that the opposition was not fighting this battle. He said that the fight has to be ideological and between the good and evil and not essentially between the good people and he evil people.
The evil of corruption is funding global terror and causing poor people to be fund rich people. Where the global GDP increased only by 80 % the personal wealth of the Very High Networth Individuals increased by 475%.
Gurumurthy was speaking from the platform of Swadeshi Jagran Manch on the issue of corruption and black money parked abroad by high profile politicians. Making astonishing revelation on the protection being given to the people who have black money parked abroad, he pointed out to an affidavit by then IPS officer in the Supreme Court, Ashok Desh Bratar. The affidavit named three chief ministers and people at the PMO being hands in gloves with these people.
The past L. G. of Delhi brought forward the issue of not only averting the issue but diverting the issue on various disguise. He explained that the present law is effective enough to fight the present form of corruption. But the government is averting and diverting in the form of Jan Lok Pal Bill. That the present government has no intention of booking corrupt people although it has substantial proofs against them.
Murlidhar Rao ji the past Convener of Swadeshi Jagaran Manch stressed on the need of government to take action on the present charges and come clean over the issue of corruption. He stressed the need of action plan and not plain speak as it is happening with the current government.
Charity begins at home was the message been given by the Baidyanath Rai – Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh Activist and Leading and that the national character has been degenerated by the government. We need to look in ourselves and seek an answer.

अमरीकी आर्थिक मॉडल की खामिया - गुरुमूर्ति का नया लेख



श्रीजी का नया लेख जिसमे उन्होंने विदेशी आर्थिक मॉडल की निंदा की है.
by Kashmiri Lal on Thursday, 19 May 2011 at 17:45
श्री गुरुमूर्ति जी ने अपने भाषण में कहा की जो मॉडल २००८ के अमरीकी आर्थिक गढ़बढ़ में बुरी तरह धराशाई हो गया, आज फिर भारत के आर्थिक नीति निर्माता उसी की अंधी नक़ल करने में तुले हे, ये बहुत ही दुःख और चिंता का विषय है. उन्होंने खुलासा किया की जी-२० देशों की बैठक में से फ़्रांस और जर्मन ने इस शर्त पर छोड़ने की धमकी दी की यदि ये ग्रुप अंग्लो-सक्सोन मॉडल की आर्थिक नीतियां ही अपनाएगा, तो वे इसमें शामिल नहीं होंगे.ये बात दुनिया के देशों के लिए नसीहत है.

बंगलोर विश्वविद्यालय द्वारा आयोजित भाषण माला में बोलते हुए उन्होंने कहा की अंतर राष्ट्रीय मुद्रा कोष जो गत ३० सालों से मुद्राओं की मुक्त परिवर्तनीयता ( फ्री कोन्वेर्तिबिलिटी )का पक्ष लेता रहा, उसका उसे त्याग कर अब ये कह कर करना पढ़ा की ये व्यावहारिक ही नहीं है. एक दम उलटी बात तो इस पर भारत का नेतृत्व एक दम मौन है. वह समझ नहीं पा रहा की क्या प्रतिक्रिया करे.

उन्होंने आगे बढ़ कर ये घोषणा की २००८ का अमरीकी आर्थिक संकट जिसे वैश्विक संकट भी कहा जाता है, वास्तव में पश्चिम के सामाजिक तानेबाने के टूटने की कहानी है एक सांस्कृतिक गिरावट का प्रतीक है जिसके कारण 1976 तक जो अम्रीका दुनिया का सबसे अधिक निवेश करने वाले और उधार देने वाला देश था, वो दुनिया का सर्वाधिक कर्जदार और मांगने वाला देश बन गया. एक महत्व पूरण तथ्य देते हुए उन्होंने खुलासा किया की १९७६ सेलेकर २००९ के बीच में यद्यपि अमरीका का कुल सकल घरेलु उत्पाद १४ गुना बढ़ा, लेकिन उस देश का कुल विदेशी कर्ज १३७ गुना बढ़ गया. ध्यान रहे की १.२ बिलियन क्रेडिट कार्ड्स के कारन उस देश का कुल विदेशी ऋण $२.५ ट्रिलियन तो गया.

पारिवारिक संकट: टूटते परिवार, घटती बचत:

उन्होंने आगे कहा की परिवारों का तलाक लेने की दर ५५ प्रतिशत की दर से बढ़ी, और ये परिवारों का टूटना एक मुख्य करक बना जिसके कारन वहां की राष्टीय बचत में परिवारों का योगदान ७०% से गिर कर नकारात्मक स्टार पर पहुँच गया हे. धीरे धीरे परिवार कंगाल होते गए, देवालिये होते गए और सरकार पर आश्रित होते गए. सरकार ने परिवारों का काम सम्हाल लिया और हालात यहाँ तक गिर गए की सकल घरेलु उत्पाद का ४० प्रितिशत तक हिस्सा सामाजिक सुरक्षा के लिए खर्च होने लगा. २०१०-११ की अमरीकी बजट का विश्लेषण करते हुए उन्होंने कहा की टेक्सो द्वारा जो आमदनी हुई उससे जियादा पारिवारिक सुरक्षा पर होने वाला खर्च हे

उन्होंने बताया का अर्थशास्त्र के सिधान्तो का विश्लेषण करते हुए वहां के आर्थिक नियंता ये नहीं सोच पाए की आम आदमी की आदतों का सकल आर्थिक आधार पर क्या असर पढ़ेगा. उन्होंने नाम लेकर बताया की वहां के फेडेरल रिसर्व के मुखिया, और ज्ञात अर्थशास्त्री अलन ग्रीनस्पान ने तो यहाँ तक कह दिया की बचत केवल गरीब देशों के लोगों के लिए ही जरूरी हे क्योंकि वहां पर आधार भूत आर्थिक तानेबाने नहीं है, इस लिए ये विकासशील देशों के लिए ही जरूरी है. दूसरी तरफ देखें तो भारत और जापान ने रास्ता दुनिया को दिखाया जहाँ की बचत बेंको में सुरक्षित होती हे नाकि शेयर मार्केट में.
अंत में उन्होंने बताया की एशिया का मजबूत पारिवारिक और सामाजिक तानाबाना ही दुनिया को रास्ता दिखा सकता है, और भारत पर ही विश्व को रास्ता दिखने का दायित्व है.

A DOZEN LESS KNOWN FACTS ABOUT REVOLUTIONARY SUKHDEV




A DOZEN LESS KNOWN FACTS ABOUT REVOLUTIONARY SUKHDEV
(His Birthday falls on 15 May, 1907 and was put to gallows on 23 March, 1931 along with legendry Bhagat Singh and Raj guru near Lahore)

1. Though lesser Known, but a great Patriot: Sukhdev, though less popular and less written about than his best friend Bhagat Singh, was a fearless man of exceptional integrity, who cared about the smallest needs of his party and its members. Comrade Shiv Verma, who was awarded life imprisonment in the Lahore Conspiracy Case, writes of Sukhdev’s character in his memoirs, Sansmrityiaan, preserved with the National Archives, Delhi: "In reality, Bhagat was the political mentor of the Punjab party; Sukhdev was the organiser – one who built its edifice brick by brick..." The first information report (FIR) of the Lahore Conspiracy Case, filed by Hamilton Harding, senior superintendent of police, in the court of R.S. Pandit, special magistrate in April 1929, mentions Sukhdev as accused number 1. It describes him as Swami Alias villager, son of Ram Lal, caste Thapar Khatri. In a list of 25 accused, Bhagat is on the 12th position, while Raj guru is on the 20th position. It’s Sukhdev who leads the pack. Even the title of the judgement reads The Crown – Complainant versus Sukhdev and Others.”The fact that Sukhdev, despite his indirect involvement in the conspiracy, was tried as principal accused, confirms his importance in HSRA.A single line from the judgement on page No.134 is sufficient to illustrate the whole point: " Sukhdev was the brain behind this conspiracy and Bhagat singh its right hand." He was the mover of all major decisions.
2. His efforts lead Bhagat Singh participates in the Assembly Bomb case: A little known fact about the plan to drop bombs in the Central Legislative Assembly in April 1929 is that HSRA’s central committee had first refused to send Bhagat for the job. Sukhdev was absent from the meeting where the decision was taken. The party feared sending Bhagat, as the Punjab police was after him for his involvement in Saunders murder. His arrest would have meant death. But Sukhdev would not but send the best man for the job, says Shiv Verma in his memoirs: "Sukhdev came after three days and opposed the decision tooth and nail. He was sure no one could convey HSRA’s goal as well as Bhagat. He went to Bhagat and called him a coward, one who was afraid to die. The more Bhagat refuted Sukhdev, the harsher Sukhdev became. Finally, Bhagat told Sukhdev that he was insulting him. Sukhdev retorted saying he was only doing his duty towards his friend. Hearing this, Bhagat told Sukhdev not to talk to him, and went away."Sukhdev had pushed his friend into jaws of death, writes Verma, adding: "The committee had to change its decision and Bhagat was chosen to drop the bombs. Sukhdev left for Lahore the same evening without saying a word. According to Durga Bhabhi, when he reached Lahore the next day, his eyes were swollen. He had wept bitterly all night over his decision. Such was Sukhdev – softer than a flower and harder than a stone. People only saw his harshness but he never complained. He always hid his feelings."
3. Hard Disciplinarian from early Childhood. Of him, his friends have said: "While Sukhdev was indifferent to his looks, he felt happy to dress his comrades. In this he was the reverse of Bhagat.""He was equally stubborn and whimsical," states Waraich, pointing to the pen portrait of Sukhdev, written by an HSRA comrade. It states: Sukhdev once poured nitric acid over his left arm to remove "Om" tattooed thereon. This, he did to test his endurance. To remove the remaining marks, he hung his festering wounds over a candle flame. Even in the school days he never uttered a sigh when caned for not saluting an English Military Officer. He even practised perseverance by taking all the blows and elbows of army men without any murmur and even named himself “Maarkhaana” meaning one born for being beaten by others.”
4. Against Mindless Acts of Violence: Usually it is blamed that revolutionaries like Sukhdev were all set for violence, but nothing is farther from truth than this. In his last letter dated October 7, 1930 to comrades (the day the judgment was pronounced), Sukhdev criticised mindless acts of violence and justified HSRA’s actions as the ones that sought to fulfil people’s aspirations. He wrote, "Take the case of Saunders murder. When Lala receive lathi blows, there was unrest in the country. This was a good opportunity to draw people’s attention towards the party. That’s how the murder was planned. To run away after the murder was not our plot. We wished to enlighten people that it was a political murder and its perpetrators were revolutionaries. Our actions were always in response to people’s grievances. We wanted to infuse revolutionary ideals in the public and the expression of such ideals looks more glorified from the mouth of one who stands on the gallows for the cause." A certified copy of this letter was sent by Punjab CID to the Home Department. Moreover, they took particular care to drop the bomb in the assembly at a place where there was nobody. They only wanted that deaf ears of English could listen to their grievances, and their aim was not the reckless violence at all.
5. Further Stated in a Letter of Mahatma Gandhi: Sukhdev’s letter to Gandhi, though never replied, is also a fine reflection of his ideals. "The aim of revolutionaries is to establish a socialist republic in the country. There is no possibility of even a slight amendment to this goal. I think you believe the revolutionaries are irrational people who enjoy destructive actions. I want to tell you that the truth is quite the opposite. They know their responsibilities and they hold the constructive elements high in their revolutionary constitution even though in the present circumstances, they have to attend to their destructive side only," he wrote.
6. No fear of Death at all, but rather Happy: Historical records show that Sukhdev was particularly content with the death sentence awarded to him. In a letter to Mahatma Gandhi, written some days prior to the hanging on March 23, 1931, he says, "The three prisoners of the Lahore conspiracy case who have been awarded capital punishment and who have incidentally gained greatest popularity in the country are not everything in the revolutionary party. In fact, the country will not gain as much by the change of their sentences as it would by their being hanged."
7. His Birthplace: in Ludhiana but later moved to Lyallpur: There are two versions about his birthplace. Some writers say it is in Ludhiana, while other claims it to be in Lyallpur. Anyhow, the fact is that he was born to Ralli Devi and Ram Lal Thapar at Mohalla Naughara, in Ludhiana. He took his early education in Ludhiana. His father died when Sukhdev was three years old, and his younger brother took birth three months after his father's death. Later on the family shifted to Lyallpur, now in Pakis tan। His dea elder uncle Chintaram Thapar, himself was established there, and it is he who looked after the family of Sukhdev after that. Lala Chint ram Thapar was himself a great patriot and was jailed for demonstrating against the atrocities of Jalianwala Bagh। So the birthplace of Sukhdev,Naughara, loosely meaning a conglomerate of nine houses। It is here that every year program mes are held to celebra te his birthda y function.
8. His Main contribution: Sukhdev was an active member of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association, being one of its most senior leaders. He is known to have started study circles at National College, (Lahore) in order to delve into India's past as well as to scrutinize the finer aspects of world revolutionary literature and the Russian Revolution. Along with Bhagat Singh, Comrade Ram Chandra and Bhagwati Charan Vohra, he started Naujawan Bharat Sabha at Lahore. The main aims of this organisation were to activate youth for freedom struggle, inculcate a rational scientific attitude, fight communalism and end the practice of untouchability.Sukhdev was deeply impressed by Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, and Chandrashekhar Azad.Sukhdev also participated in the 1929 Prison hunger strike to protest against the inhuman treatment of inmates. He was involved with Shaheed Bhagat Singh and Shivaram Rajguru in the killing of a British police officer J.P. Saunders in 1928 in order to take revenge for the death of veteran leader Lala Lajpat Rai due to excessive police beating. All three were hanged in Lahore Central Jail on March 23, 1931 in the evening at 7.33 pm. The dead bodies were secretly taken away by breaking the back walls of the jail and were secretly burnt on the banks of River Sutlej at Hussainiwala about 50 miles away from Lahore. The bodies were cut into pieces to make the burial quick.
9. A Big controversy in the case mooted by HANS RAJ VOHRA – the Approver in this Case; A YOUNG activist of this group, who later became India's top journalist, sent Bhagat Singh and the trio, a household name, to the gallows on March 23 in 1931 by turning an approver in this case. Hans raj Vohra, worked as a special correspondent of The Statesman, The Times of India and the Deccan Herald in that order. He was a droopy figure, probably always conscious that he had betrayed his comrades, the revolutionaries. Before he died in Washington on September 13, 1985, he wrote a letter to Mathuradas Thapar, brother of Sukhdev, to explain why he turned an approver. Being a top class journalist at that time put his case very convincingly nevertheless. Mathradas Thapar took nearly five months to reply to Vohra's letter. It was a long 14-page reply typed in single space. He summarized Vohra's reply: "Your grudge", as he put it into four points: "(1) That after your third and the last arrest in May 1929, you were shown about a hundred-page statement (alleged to have been made) by Sukhdev; (2) that Sukhdev being an important leader, let you and others down, and destroyed the party which he so much harboured to create; (3) that eight or 10 senior members of the party had become King's witnesses; and (4) you wondered that, having made the statement, why Sukhdev did not take advantage unto himself."
10. Mathradas Thapar explains the truth: Thapar argued that the statement "which was shown to you was concocted by the police". He contradicted Vohra's allegation that the Punjab police did not use any high-handed methods against Sukhdev. Thapar said: "that the police had resorted to third degree methods in trying to break him and bend him. But his spirits remained undaunted and firm in resolve, though his body bore marks of cruelty". "Now, what actually happened was that Jai Gopal's statement must have upset Sukhdev. As soon as he came to know of it, he told the investigating police that instead of demanding from Jai Gopal, they should better ask him for details, he being in the know of everything as an important leader. In assuming this posture, which caused much misunderstanding in the minds of his associates, Sukhdev's purpose was to, somehow take the police into confidence and gain their favour so that he could get access to Jai Gopal in order to strangle him to death. This was what Sukhdev confessed to some of us of the family when we met him while he was in the custody of Aziz Ahmad, who was In charge of the Conspiracy Case, and Sardar Gopa Singh, Deputy Superintendent."
11. Surprising revelations about renowned writer Yashpal: Thapar alleged that Yashpal, the Hindi writer, was a police informer. "He used to gather all information from Jai Gopal and then pass it on to the police. Though now dead a few years, he is fondly remembered by his admirers as a great revolutionary and a Hindi writer of no mean significance." What an irony! Vohra concluded the correspondence by saying: "The best thing we can do is to agree amiably to disagree or that we can meet in a friendly way when I visit India in December." He never returned to his country

12. Kuleep Nayyar nails the controversy to An End: Journalist Kuldeep Nayyar writes in his book on Bhagat Singh: Still suspicion cannot change the facts. Sukhdev was hanged along with Bhagat Singh and Rajguru. There is no evidence that he faltered during the trial or later. He was as defiant as he was in school when he was caned because he had refused to salute visiting white military officers. If he was the person who divulged everything to the police, why was he not pardoned in place of Vohra? Sukhdev had far more knowledge than Vohra. The difference between Sukhdev and Vohra is underlined by people's response. The ashes of Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and their third comrade, Rajguru were consigned to a shrine near Ferozepur where thousands of people flock to pay their homage even today. The crematorium where Vohra's body was put to fire is not even known. Sukhdev is a hero. Shree Virender sums up the role of Sukhdev in these words: "Sukhdev was the soul behind the revolutionary movement in Punjab from 1928-31. Undoubtedly the name of Bhagat Singh remained prominent. One of its reasons is that Bhagat Singh had a good taste for writing and oratory. None else could present the viewpoint of his party in better way than him. But whatever strategy and planning was prepared by his party, the brain of Sukhdev was alway behind that. Whatever he did, he did it silently. " He was a master organiser of this team. The need of the hour is : we want such Bhagat Singhs, Raj Gurus and Sukhdevs amongt our youth in the present situations.

कालेधन और सोनिया के बारे में श्री गुरुमूर्ति का lekh




गुरुमूर्ति जी का काले धन और सोनिया के बारे में नया लेख पढ़ा है क्या? जरूर पढ़े। (is indi lekh के अंत में angreji का mool lekh है.








३० अप्रैल को न्यू इंडियन एक्सप्रेस में गुरुमूर्ति जी का सनसनी खेज लेख पढ़ा। विषय तो नया नहीं, लेकिन तथ्य कुछ नए है, और कुल तथ्य आपकी सेवा में लिख रहा हूँ। थोडा इस विषय पर लिखते हुए गुदगुदी जरूर होती है, क्योंकि जिस बात को अडवाणी जी ने दबी जुबान कहा, तो जोरदार ढंग से वापिस ले लिया, जिसे माननीय सुदर्शन जी ने जोरदार ढंग से लिया, लेकिन संघ ने चुपचाप वापिस जैसा ले लिया, उस विषय पर श्री गुरुमूर्ति जिस ढंग से लेखन कर रहे है, थोडा रोमांच होना स्वाभाविक ही है।








पहली बात जो गुरु कहते है, यानि वो उद्धरण देते है "सारे देश में लोग कह रहे है, की अब बहुत हो गया है, हद पार हो चुकी है, और जल्दी ही जिसे कभी सोचा नहीं था, वो घटने वाला है। वो लोग जो जिन पर थूकना, चाँद पर थूकना था, जिनेह छुआ नहीं जा सकता था, वे भी कानून के शिकंजे में जकरे जाने वालें है। और इस बार का ऊंचे दर्जे की शखसिअत , जो की सबसे मोटी मछली है, कांग्रेस पार्टी की अध्यक्षा सोनिया गाँधी, जो की आजकल फोर्ब्स सूची में , दुनिया के सबसे शक्तिशाली लोगों की लिस्ट में, नोवें नंबर पर है।" - लेकिन ये बात कौन कह रहा है, सुब्रमण्यम स्वामी, या स्वयं गुरुमूर्ति, बिलकुल नहीं, ये शब्द है क्लेओ पास्कल के, जिसने इस आशय का एक लिखा है और दुनिया भर में चर्चित है। इस के बाद गुरुमूर्ति सो-दो सो शब्दों में बताते हैं की ये लेखिका है कौन, और दुनिया भर की ३० देशों की संस्थायों के नाम गिनाते है, जिन्होंने उसके लेखन को सन्मानित किया है, और उसकी सलाह लेते हैं, यानी लेखिका दुनिया मेन जानी-मानी है।








दूसरी बात है की वैसे उसकी बात का सारांश है क्या: वैसे तो वो स्वीकार करती है की सोनिया की छवि 'एक कर्त्तव्य पालक, सोम्य और अब एक विधवा महिला की बनी हुई है' परतु धीरे धीरे देश में, पास्कल का अध्ययन है, की ' लगातार बुदबुदाहट होने लगी है उसकी प्रश्नवाचक व्यापारिक धंधों के बारे में, उसकी सम्पति में एकदमआये उछाल के कारन से, और उसके परिवार की सम्पतियों के बारे में ' पास्कल इस समय याद करती है उस जमीन हिला देने वाले लेख को जो की १९९५ मेन डॉ। नाल्पत ने दी टाईम्स ऑफ़ इंडिया मेन लिखा था, और उसके स्पष्ट लिखा था ' सोनिया की सार्वजनिक विनम्रता एक चतुराई है,' और की 'उसकी ताकत पाने के पीछे परोपकार की भावना जैसा कुछ नहीं है' और उसकी 'गंभीर राजनैतिक महत्वाकांक्षा है' और पास्कल कहती है की इस बात का अनुमोदन बाद मेन कांग्रेस पार्टी में उसके रोले से ही लग गया था। पास्कल आगे फिर डॉ। नालापट को उधृत करते हुए कहती है की " ताकत पाने के पीछे उसकी भावना परोपकार की बिलकुल नहीं है, और उसकी ही सम्पति नहीं, बल्कि उसके इटली के रिश्तेदारों की संपतियां कई गुना बढ़ गयी जब राजीव गाँधी १९८४ में प्रधान मंत्री बने थे।"








पास्कल एक और जोरदार बात कहती है, की जैसे की डॉ। नालापट ने भविष्यवाणी की थी की सोनिया कांग्रेस की अध्यक्षा बने गी, उसके इस पद पर आते ही डॉ। नालापट को अपने सब ठीक तर्कों के बावजूद लेखन के काम से १९९८ किनारा करना पढ़ा। (खैर,मेरे लिए ये बिलकुल नयी बात थी की ऐसा हुआ है, और ऐसा लिखा है।)








तीसरा बिंदु स्टें लिंदेर्स्त्रोम। स्वीडन वासी का इस विषय पर लेखन: इसके बाद पास्कल स्वीडन के एक लेखक का उद्धरण देना शुरू करती है जो की बोफोर्स कांड मेन स्वीडन का विशेष प्रोसेकुतर था, उसने भी क्वात्रोची के गाँधी परिवार से रिश्तों का पर्दाफाश किया था और उसका स्पष्ट कहना था की जो भी हिस्सा क्वात्रोची को जाता था उसका एक हिस्सा लाजमी तौर पर गाँधी परिवार को भी जाता था। इन सब सवालों का कभी भी सोनिया ने जवाब नहीं दिया और साथ ही इससे भी सवाल खरे हुए है की सब कुछ करने के बावजूद क्वात्रोची कैसे भारत से साफ़ बच निकला। इतना ही नहीं तो विदेशों में उसके खातों को जब फ्रीज किया था तो क्वात्रोची कैसे उन्हें दी फ्रीज करवाने मेन कामयाब हुआ। बहुत ही अहम् सवाल है।








चोथा सवाल पास्कल का की सुब्रमनियम स्वामी का केस रंग लायेगा: पास्कल कहती है की अगला सबसे बार खतरा तो प्रधानमंत्री की मेज पर रखा है। इसका क्या मतलब है,,ये है जो सुब्रमण्यम स्वामी का २०० पेज की वो बेहतरी ढंग लिखी गयी महीनehkakk जिस्मी उसने प्रधान मंद्त्री से सोनिया गाँधी के खिलाफ कसे लार्हने की अनुमति मांगी है। पास्कल ने इस २०० पेज की अर्जी को बहुत अछि तरह से स्वयम पढ़ा है, और उसका कहना है, इसमें टीम महीन में ही इसका फैंसला हो जाये गा,की अगर तो तो अनुमति देते है तो ठीक वर्ना वे सुप्रीम कोर्ट जायेंगे पास्कल का आगे भी कहना है की सुप्रीम कोर्ट का आजकल जो रवैया भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ जज कपर्हिया के नेतृत्व में चल रहा है, कोई बरी बात नहीं की इस केस को स्वीकार कर लिया जाये " अब इस केस में केवल भारत की ही नहीं तो दुनिया की रूचि है, तो दुनिया में इसकी चर्चा होगी





आखरी बिंदु गुरुमूर्ति का है: पास्कल ने जो कुछ भी सोनिया के बारे उसके भ्रस्ताचार के बारे में लिखा है, भारत के मुख्या मीडिया ने तो उसे बिलकुल ब्लाक किया है मुख मीडिया अभी भी सोनिया के भ्रस्ताचार के खिलाफ 'शुन्य सहनशीलता' के गीत गा रहा है यदि अन्ना हजारे को सोनिया भ्रस्ताचार के खिलाफ मिलकर जुटने की बात कहती है, तो अन्ना भी गदगद है, मीडिया का तो कहना ही क्या इस पे भी तुर्रा है की सोनिया गाँधी जब विलाप करती है "भारतीय अत्यंत लालची हो गए है," और यहाँ तक की "नैतिक मूल्य गिर गए है' तो मुख्या मीडिया वह-वह के मूड में रहता है कपिल, दिग्विजि और तिवारी जब अन्ना के साथियों पर कीचर फेंकते है तो मिडिया सोनिया से इतना पूछने की जुर्रत नहीं करता की आपके बन्दे आपके खिलाफ बोलने की कैसे जुर्रत कर रहें है अंत में गुरुमूर्ति धन्यवाद करते है, की सुब्रमण्यम स्वामी की अत्यंत ढंग से लिखी २०० पेज की अर्जी को ब्लाक सा कर दिया गया है मुख्या मीडिया में तो पास्कल ने इसका ठीक ढंग से उल्लेख करके बहुत ही धन्यवाद वाला काम किया है हम कह सकते है, अब तेरा क्या होगा सोनिया

Corruption suspect Sonia morphs into a crusader
“All across India, people are saying enough is enough. And suddenly the unthinkable is starting to happen. People considered above reproach, or at least untouchable, are coming under the judicial crosshairs. And the latest high-profile target is one of the biggest fish of all, Congress Party President Sonia Gandhi, currently No. 9 on the Forbes list of the World’s Most Powerful People.” Who says so? Dr Subramanian Swamy? Me? No. It is Cleo Paskal writing in the online news website Huffington Post on the corruption charges against Sonia Gandhi. Paskal’s article titled “World’s No. 9 Most Powerful Person Now Accused of Corruption—Will She Fall?” appeared in Huffington Post on April 25, 2011.An award-winning journalist, Paskal writes for Sunday Times, Telegraph and the Economist. Her books have won multiple awards. An Associate Fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, London, the US Department of State, those consulting her include US Department of Energy, US Army War College, UK Ministry of Defence, UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, UK Defence Academy, EU, NATO, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the heads of many major corporations, and intelligence professionals from over 30 countries. Associated with Manipal University and School of Communication and Management Kochi, she is familiar with India. She blogs in Huffington Post, the world’s third most popular news website that commands over 38 million visitors viewing half-a-billion pages every month. Founded in 2005, it became instant success. In February this year, AOL acquired it for $315 million (`1,450 crore). In 2008, the Observer, London, rated Huffington Post, the winner of several awards, as the worlds’ best blog. Now back to Paskal on Sonia. Acknowledging that Sonia’s “image is of a dutiful, submissive Indian wife, now widow”, Paskal notices the “growing, persistent murmurs about questionable business deals and inexplicable exponential jumps in the personal wealth of her and her family”. Paskal recalls “the ground-breaking articles” that M D Nalapat, a senior journalist, had written about Sonia in 1995 in “the Times of India”. Paskal says that Nalapat’s comment that her “public docility was just a ploy” and “she had serious political ambitions”, was “later confirmed by her role in the Congress”. Paskal also emphasises Nalapat’s view that “her desire for power wasn’t simply altruistic and that the wealth not only of her, but of her Italian relatives, rose stratospherically after Rajiv Gandhi became prime minister in 1984”. Paskal points out that while his articles were undisputed; Nalapat was forced out of journalism in 1998 when, as he had predicted, Sonia took over the Congress.Then Paskal cites the “public questions from another highly reputed source, Sten Lindstrom, Sweden’s special prosecutor”, who investigated the Bofors pay-off scam. Paskal points out Lindstrom’s interview in 1998 in which he had said that “the Gandhis, particularly now Sonia, should explain how Quattrocchi-owned companies got such fat sums as payoffs from the Bofors deal. After all, what is the connection of Sonia and the Gandhi family to Quattrocchi? Who introduced Quattrocchi and his AE Services to Bofors? At least one thing is certainly known now. A part of the payoffs definitely went to Quattrocchi. (...); the papers all pointed to the Gandhi family.” Paskal points out, “Not only have the questions not been answered by Sonia, but in spite of substantial evidence against him, Quattrocchi has managed to evade prosecution in India, and has even had his kickback funds unfrozen from overseas accounts.”“But the most serious threat to Sonia,” warns Paskal, “is now lying on the desk of the Prime Minister of India.” That is Dr Subramanian Swamy’s written request to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for sanction to prosecute Sonia for corruption. Paskal says: “In a meticulously researched 200-plus page submission, Dr Swamy alleges Sonia Gandhi has been involved in corruption in India since 1972 and personally benefited from the Bofors scam (1986), has held billions in non-Indian bank accounts since at least 1991, illegally profited from the Iraqi oil-for-food deals (2002), and even accessed KGB payoffs during the Cold War.” Obviously Paskal has read the complaint thoroughly. Adding that the Prime Minister has three months’ time to grant or reject the request, she says, “If he doesn’t, Dr Swamy can take the case directly to the Supreme Court, which, under Chief Justice Kapadia, is showing a definite proclivity towards facilitating corruption cases.” “Given the growing importance of India in our heavily globalised world,” Paskal concludes, the permission sought to prosecute Sonia “is not just an Indian story; this is one all should be following very closely indeed.” In Paskal’s view, the bribery charges against Sonia will have global reach.Now shift to the Indian scene. With most mainline media blacking out the truth, the people are unaware of much of what Paskal says about Sonia’s suspected corruption. On the contrary, they see a saint in her. Result: Sonia, who Paskal suspects as corrupt, nonchalantly proclaims ‘Zero Tolerance’ to corruption. And the mainstream media, sidestepping questions over her integrity, celebrates her resolve more. Sonia laments that Indians have “become greedy”, their “moral universe has shrunk”, and the media eulogises her candidness. Further. Declaring support to Anna Hazare, who staked his life for anti-corruption law, she earns Anna’s gratitude and media glory. But she forthwith lets the Sibals, Digvijays and Tiwaris to set upon Bhushans, Anna’s men, and also shockingly disapproves of them. Yet the media does not ask her how her minions could defy her. Finally, the mainstream media has blacked out Dr Swamy’s “meticulous” complaint against Sonia. A reader’s gratitude to Paskal for “shedding light on an issue that is taboo in Indian mainstream media” tells the true story. QED: Sonia, a suspect, is now morphed into a crusader.
