Most powerful damaad or Son-In-Law of India or rather nicknamed
FDI(First Damaad of India) Mr. Robert Vadra has already been into news for last
one year for his alleged land deals with DLF and Haryana Government. With BJP
trying to get an upper hand in claims of the Story, the fact is that they too
set on the files of alleged corrupted land deals of Vadra until India Against
Corruption blew out the truth within the public domain. With numerous scams to
boast upon under Congress’s tenure, this
seems to be an Icing on the cake.
Mr. Khemka who was Director General, Land Consolidation and
Land records, Haryana until Oct 2012 was already examining the close nexus between Vadra, DLF and Haryana
Gov. and as soon as India Against Corruption exposed the reality he ordered a
formal enquiry into the deals of Sky Light Hospitality which is owned by Mr.
Vadra and his mother Maureen. As soon as a formal enquiry was ordered Mr.
Khemka was transferred and he opposed the move. Many eyebrows were raised following this decision and the Gov came into damage control mode by setting up
a three member panel to probe Vadra’s land deals and as expected Mr. Vadra was
handed over a clean chit.
It was all silence on this issue until Mr. Khemka came out
with a detailed 105 pages report on the corrupt deals last month and added a
new armour to already lethal armoury of BJP which took all over gov on this
issue in present Monsoon session of parliament. Let me brief the report :
As on March 31, 2008 the share capital of Onkareshwar
Properties was Rs 1Lac and of Sky Light was Nill. In the balancesheet of March 31, 2008 Sky Ligt claims an overdraft of
Rs. 7.95 Cr. It claims this is due to a cheque issued before balancesheet date
, but not presented yet. In fact onkareshwar was the creditor of Rs. 7.95 Cr to
Sky Light and actual bank balance was Rs. 1 Lac. This is a punishable offence
under Companies act,1956. Cheque shown to have paid to Onkareshwar did not
belong to Sky Light. The rs. 7.95 Cr was actually paid to Onkareshwar after
money was received from DLF as an interest free loan.Within 65 days of
registration DLF provided an advance of Rs. 5 Cr to Sky Light. The agreement
b\w Sky Light and DLF clearly shows that Mr. Vadra was contributing the title
and commercial colony licence on agricultural land, making DLF responsible for
everything else. DLF applied to renewal of licence for this land with Vadra’s
company to Haryana Gov which it got easily.
The question here rises that being involved in heavy corrupt
practices will Mr. Vadra ever face the charges? And the clear answer is a big “NO”.
His tweet “Mango people in a banana republic” makes us think even if he belongs
to that category. Being part of the first family of India no one would even dare to
question the sudden rise in fortunes of Mr. Vadra. He enjoys to be a privileged
citizen of India.
But for once let us in fact applaud people like Mr. Khemka and Mrs. Durga Shakti Nagpal(IAS from U.P) who are fighting for a cause and trying to appeal from our Nation to "Wake up and fight for your future".
