* The CBI is sending a team of its officials to Argentina to pursue the extradition of Bofors case accused Ottavio Quattrocchi. Please note that the same CBI’s team was in Switzerland to pursue Bofors case but the team came back to keep its legs on heads after hearing the news of forming UPA government. The same CBI and Government solicitor to pursue the instruction of Sonia Gandhi and law Minister Bhardwaj gave green signal to the London Bank because of that freeze  

a/c was defreeze to facilitate Mr. Q for drawing Rs. 21 crores.

* To day on Feb 24 has one more petition been moved in the Supreme Court asking a direction to government for immediate extradition of Quattrocchi.

* After the detention of Quattrocchi on Feb 6, Interpol has sent three letters by CBI was mum up to Feb 22. On whose instruction was CBI silent? Why does such delay?

* Why did Government hide the detention of Mr. Q to deceive Supreme Court and Pb, U’Khand and Manipur? PIL hearing was on Feb 12 in the Supreme Court. But intentionally Government said in the Supreme Court that there is no further event happened in the Bofors case. It is the contempt of SC. They also hided the facts to the public, so voters of Punjab, Uttarakhand and Manipur, could exercise their votes without knowing the truth. Is not murder of democracy?

* 67 BSP 5 BJP 4 SP and 2 independent total 78 MLAs has given their resignation to Mayavati. BJP is meeting to accept its MLAs resignation if needed. This move is the repetition of the same steps taken by Samajwadi Party in 2001 and entire opposition of the Parliament in 1986. Government of Mulayam in UP had completed its five years tenure on Feb 25. So after 25 Feb Mulayam has no right to run the government.

* Mayavati has said to day that CPI (M) has one MLA in UP. So it is not serious for the good or bad of the people of UP. Further CPI (M) has always play double roll as Congress. CPI (M) supported the President rule in Bihar. But the same CPI (M) is now opposing the President rule in UP.

* Second important truth came out today in the discussion on “UP ki Siyashat aur Congress ki Niyat” between various viewers and politicians in NDTV. When Rajiv Shukla of Congress asked to the Siddiqui spokesperson of SP was imposing President Rule in BJP ruled three states including UP just or unjust then Sahir Siddiqui replied yes that was just. Then why now is President Rule in UP unjust?

Right of Information Act and Quattrocchi of Sonia Gandhi

The UPA Government’s Common Minimum Programme (CMP) made ‘a solemn pledge to the people of our country to provide a government that is corruption – free, transparent and accountable at all times, to provide an administration that is responsible at all times and to make the Right to Information Act “more progressive, participatory and meaningful”. The UPA also set up the National Advisory Council (NAC) to monitor the CMP. This issue was taken up in the NAC’s first two meetings and amendments to the Act, based primarily on the Karnataka and Maharashtra Acts, was sent to the Prime Minister by the Chairperson, Smt. Sonia Gandhi stating “The main object of the proposed amendments is to ensure maximum disclosure and minimum exemptions consistent with constitutional provisions; independent appeal mechanisms; penalties for failure to provide information as per the law; effective mechanisms for access to information, and disclosure by authorities.

UPA did hide Quattrocchi arrest: Jaya

As reported by CNN-IBN AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa accused the Centre for keeping Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi's arrest a secret from the public. She said on Saturday that immediate steps should be taken to extradite the Bofors case accused to India.

"The government of Argentina had arrested him 18 days ago. But the Congress-led UPA government had not informed the general public about this," she said in a statement.

After the sensational information of Quattrocchi's arrest that took place in Argentina earlier this month, was telecast by television channels across India, the CBI was left with no other alternative except to admit the arrest by means of a very belated statement last night, she claimed.

"Right from the beginning when Bofors scandal came to limelight, Congress-led governments at the Centre were keen on helping Quattrocchi escape from the law," she said. Jayalalithaa said that in Argentina, a person wanted by another nation could be kept in custody only for 30 days.

"Knowingly, deliberately, time is being lost. After the arrest on February 6, now about 10 days are left for bringing Quattrocchi to India," she said, adding neither the Centre nor the CBI has "lifted a finger or moved an inch" to make a formal extradition request to Argentina.

"If the government allows Quattrocchi to go free by letting time run out, the Congress party will soon discover that the time will be running out for it too," she said.

Prime Minister, Home Minister, External Affairs Minister and Law Minister are responsible to the nation with regard to Quattrocchi's extradition and they should "act without fear or favour" in this issue, she said.
