Summary of the speech delivered by Mr. S. Suresh Kumar, Hon’ble
Minister at the 6th Southern India Regional Conference of PCS at Taj
Vivanta, M G Road, Bangalore
Delivering the inaugural address at the 6th Southern India Regional
Conference of Practising Company Secretaries, Hon’ble Minister for
Urban Development, Law and Parliamentary Affairs, Mr. S. Suresh Kumar
touched upon various aspects of the theme i.e. “CS – March towards
Mark of Excellence”. Complimenting the organizers for the selection
of a very appropriate theme in today’s world of corruption and lack of
governance he said, as he walked into the conference, he felt a sense
of ‘possibility’ and ‘openness’ that the CSs breathe into the
profession.
He referred to the Vision and Mission statement available on the ICSI
website (www.icsi.com) which states “to be a global leader in
development of professionals specializing in corporate governance”.
He highlighted the relevance of this vision and mission statement
especially in today’s world which is in the turbulence of a
transparency revolution. He goaded all of us to question ourselves
“Are we ready to shoulder that responsibility which are enshrined in
the constitutional framework”. He referred to the corporate Insider
Trading cases and advised everyone to uphold and work within the basic
framework of constitution and ethics. As professionals we must be
ready to keep our practice and workmanship within the boundaries of
the various acts and regulations.
As Law Minister of Karnataka, he assured that from his side all help
will be rendered to make the law, acts, regulations, guidelines very
effective and also undertake changes keeping the present growth and
evolution in mind.
Bringing in the much-needed humour into his inaugural address, he
remarked that the reason for him to be imprisoned way back in 1975
during Emergency, was that he had committed the ‘crime’ of shouting
“Bharat Maata ki jai”. A rare breed politician with an unsullied and
clean political career, he was aptly described as “Ajatha Shatru”
(meaning one who has no enemies) by CS Ganapathi G M, Chairman,
Bangalore chapter of the ICSI in his speech introducing the Chief
Guest Hon’ble Minister Mr. S. Suresh Kumar.
