What will be Sonia’s response now? -- Gurumurthy

"Sonia has taken a big share of the loot deposited under her sisters’
names (Anushka and Nadia)"

"Not just corruption, but plunder of India"

India’s Scams DNA…

Click and the scams detailed (below), in which Sonia Gandhi and her
family and personal and political friends (-1-, -2-, -3-, -4-, -5-,
-6-, -7-, -8-, -9-, -10-, -11-, -12-, -13-, -14-, -15-, -16-, -17-)
figure prominently, will appear.

A subsequent slide (in the Video) says that ‘a tight control of the
media is exercised so as not to expose specifically the Gandhi
family’. It adds, ‘people are fooled with hundreds of Indian
institutions named after Gandhi family in spite of overwhelming proof
and allegations (Bofors, Quattrocchi, KGB payments, 2G) of looting the
country’. It also says, ‘Rahul Gandhi was arrested by FBI in US for
money laundering’. Another slide shows the billion-dollar home of
Mukesh Ambani, contrasting it with the slum in Dharavi in Mumbai and
says ‘Ambani gave a jet plane as a birthday gift to his wife, which,
Swamy says, is used by Sonia Gandhi as private jet for secret Italy
trips.’

The site also contains the video speeches of Swamy on ‘Sonia family’s
smuggling’; and on ‘the truth about Sonia Gandhi declining the
position of Prime Minister’. It also carries Swamy’s famous article
‘Know the truth about Sonia Gandhi’ where he talks on what he calls as
her lies, including about her education, about the KGB payments to her
family, the Schweizer Illustrierte expose of the $2.5 billion secret
bank funds inherited by her, and more.

Those who are campaigning against corruption call Sonia Gandhi
corrupt; but Anna Hazare invites her to fight corruption! Two critical
questions arise. One, what will be the response of Sonia Gandhi and
the Congress to the IAC headed by Anna Hazare naming Sonia Gandhi and
her family as scamsters? Two, what will be the response of Team Hazare
to Anna’s repeated invite to Sonia Gandhi, whom their site lists among
the scamsters, to fight corruption “together”?

Indeed it is an exciting, explosive, website. It lists the scams of
India since Independence — Bofors, 2G, CWG included — with colour
photographs of alleged scamsters. It exposes the “hidden truth” about
the “Congress party” and “the dynasty”. Most important for Indian
discourse, it is unquestionably ‘secular’! Next, it is not even
remotely BJP’s work, nor Lohiites’, or Subramanian Swamy’s, or the
work of anyone who the media can dismiss as reckless, or of someone
inimical to Sonia Gandhi or the UPA. On the contrary it belongs to
those who Sonia Gandhi herself seems to respect a lot. Whose site is
this then? Wait till the climax. Here is a telling catalogue of its
explosive contents.

Its star content is a video slide presentation titled ‘India: a
republic of scams’. It starts off with a Brahma Challaney quote that
the scams are “not just corruption, but plunder of India”.

The fourth slide titled ‘2G-spectrum allocation fraud Rs 1.76 lakh
crores’ shows a photo gallery of nine alleged scamsters. Sonia Gandhi
and Manmohan Singh figure as the third and fourth in the row after A
Raja and M Karunanidhi.

The next slide contains a famous cartoon of Ravi Shankar in India
Today (January 2, 2011) showing the 2G loot with the number ‘176’
followed by an unending zeros — zooming like 0000000000 — with Sonia
and Singh jointly proclaiming “Zero Tolerance” to corruption. This
slide ends saying, “According to Swamy, Sonia has taken a big share of
the loot deposited under her sisters’ names (Anushka and Nadia)”.

The next slide fixes the CWG scam at Rs 60,000 crore, shows Sonia and
Singh along with Suresh Kalmadi and Sheila Dikshit in the gallery of
CWG scamsters.

A later slide is on Hasan Ali, of hawala fame, with his photograph
figuring alongside Sonia Gandhi’s. It shows the scam value as Rs
1,00,000-cr. It talks of the CID interrogation of Hasan Ali revealing
involvement of the then Maharashtra CM Vilasrao Deshmukh and Ahmed
Patel, Sonia Gandhi’s political adviser.

A further slide talks of Rajiv Gandhi’s $2 billion in Swiss banks as
it appeared in Schweizer Illustrierte, a popular Swiss magazine, in
1991 which, it says, was never challenged.

Another is about the Bofors scam with photos of Quattrocchi, Sonia and
Rajiv Gandhi as scamsters saying that ‘the major cut was believed to
be taken by Rajiv and his party with Quattrocchi (Q) close Italian
friend of Sonia Gandhi brokering the deal’. It also says that, in
2005, the Solicitor General of India had helped to defreeze the frozen
account of Q; and that, in 2007, Argentina had detained Q, but the UPA
government submitted forged papers which helped him to escape
detention; further that recently the CBI withdrew the red corner
notice on Q.

A subsequent slide says that ‘a tight control of the media is
exercised so as not to expose specifically the Gandhi family’. It
adds, ‘people are fooled with hundreds of Indian institutions named
after Gandhi family in spite of overwhelming proof and allegations
(Bofors, Quattrocchi, KGB payments, 2G) of looting the country’. It
also says, ‘Rahul Gandhi was arrested by FBI in US for money
laundering’.

Another slide shows the billion-dollar home of Mukesh Ambani,
contrasting it with the slum in Dharavi in Mumbai and says ‘Ambani
gave a jet plane as a birthday gift to his wife, which, Swamy says, is
used by Sonia Gandhi as private jet for secret Italy trips.’

The site also contains the video speeches of Swamy on ‘Sonia family’s
smuggling’; and on ‘the truth about Sonia Gandhi declining the
position of Prime Minister’.

It also carries Swamy’s famous article ‘Know the truth about Sonia
Gandhi’ where he talks on what he calls as her lies, including about
her education, about the KGB payments to her family, the Schweizer
Illustrierte expose of the $2.5 billion secret bank funds inherited by
her, and more.
Whose website then is this? The climax begins to unfold now. This is
the website of ‘India Against Corruption’ (IAC). The site authors say
in the column ‘About Us’: “India Against Corruption movement is an
expression of collective anger of people of India against corruption.
We have all come together to force/request/persuade/pressurise the
government to enact the Jan Lokpal Bill. We feel that if this Bill
were enacted it would create an effective deterrence against
corruption.”

Who’s who of IAC is in the ‘About us’. Who heads the IAC? Hold your
breath. It is Anna Hazare who, like most in the country, Sonia Gandhi
too respects!

Who are the others? This is what the site says: “The following eminent
personalities started this movement: Anna Hazare, Baba Ramdev, Sri Sri
Ravishankar, Mahamood Madani, Swami Agnivesh, Kiran Bedi, Syed Rizvi,
Mufti Shamoon Qasmi, Mallika Sarabhai, Justice D S Tewatia, Pradeep
Gupta, Arvind Kejriwal, Kamal Kant Jaswal, Sunita Godhra, B R Lalla,
Davinder Sharma, Subhash Chandra Aggarwal, Vishwas Utagi, Archbishop
Vincent M Concessao”.

Just click here; the colour photos of the crusaders led by Anna Hazare
spearheading the movement against corruption will appear. They are the
hope for a corruption-free India today.

Click here and the scams detailed earlier, in which Sonia Gandhi and
her family and personal and political friends (-1-, -2-, -3-, -4-,
-5-, -6-, -7-, -8-, -9-, -10-, -11-, -12-, -13-, -14-, -15-, -16-,
-17- ) figure prominently, will appear.

QED: Those who are campaigning against corruption call Sonia Gandhi
corrupt; but Anna Hazare invites her to fight corruption! Two critical
questions arise. One, what will be the response of Sonia Gandhi and
the Congress to the IAC headed by Anna Hazare naming Sonia Gandhi and
her family as scamsters? Two, what will be the response of Team Hazare
to Anna’s repeated invite to Sonia Gandhi, whom their site lists among
the scamsters, to fight corruption “together”?
