As confirmed from the Congress insider who attended the party after the approval of Government's draft of Lokpal Bill by Cabinet, inventor of Zero Loss theory, hero of our SibalNama and a turning brain of Congress Party Kapil Sibal (Sibal Uncle) confirmed his support to India's home minister and famous for his removal from finance ministry P Chidambaram (Chiddu Uncle). (Please read: http://diggychacha.blogspot.com/2011/07/for-some-time-we-felt-that-we-passed.html)

 

Sibal Uncle is popular for making statements with many evidences and calculations (most of the time miscalculations only). Recently, after Southern movie hero look-a-like great A Raja's statements that call Chiddu in front of court to answer his questions, Sibal Uncle told that his evidences don't have any significance in the court. However, former Telecom Secretary Siddhartha Behura claimed that over a December, 2007 meeting held regarding entry fees for 2G licences, in which he had said the then Finance Minister Chiddu Uncle and former Finance Secretary D Subbarao (currently RBI Governor, famous for Rupee symbol and to stun markets and investors by increasing rates more than expected) were present.

 

"We have looked into records. The records show that there was no such meeting. Neither Chidduji (now Union Home Minister) nor Subbarao (Subbuji) remember (?) any such meeting," Sibal Uncle said.

 

Rubbishing Behura's claims he said, "It is surprising that the then telecom secretary (Behura), who joined (Department of Telecom) on January 1, 2008, is referring to a meeting of December 4, 2007, when he had no personal knowledge of the meeting and has not produced any document to support veracity of his submission."

 

As per the Congress insider, Sibal Uncle already assured Chiddu Uncle not to be worried and he (Sibal Uncle) will handle everybody.

 

However, in the meantime, a new character has entered in SibalNama. India's ex-finance minister and famous as a Rollback Minister Mr. Yashwant Sinha (Yash Chacha) wants Chiddu Uncle to be summoned before the joint parliamentary committee (JPC) on telecom.

 

The serial has become interesting as most of the characters have turned their statements and brains by almost 360 degrees. More and more suspense has been created about the next episodes. 

Showing the 360 degree turn of his statement, Most intelligent persons on earth (blessed by Jadoo of "Koi Mil Gayaa") and Rahul Baba's Guru (though he humbly denies it) Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh (Diggy Chacha) maintained he had never asked for looking into the role of Hindu organisations in connection with the Mumbai serial blasts. Diggy Chacha is famous as a person whom Media always misquotes. One of his supporters said, "that is because Diggy Chacha's popularity. Every word that comes from his mouth becomes an essay for any reporter. Every word and sentence has tremendous importance." The supporter also enlightened us, "Chacha is very media shy. He hardly talks anything and anything that is nonsense. Therefore, media uses his name to make the article popular."

 

One of the supporters of Sonia Gandhi (Madamji) supported these claims. He said, "Madamji knows the media's conspiracy against Diggy Chacha and therefore she doesn't give any important to such articles." 6428FHZPXHZH

 

Diggy Chacha proving his claims that he was misrepresented, he said, "I had only said that the role of all organizations (between the lines - excluding RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal) should be looked into in connection with the Mumbai blasts and I had never used the term Hindu outfits." As usual Diggy Chacha confused us. 6428FHZPXHZH

 

Singh observed he had only said what the Union Home Minister P Chidambaram (Chiddu Uncle) had stated regarding the Mumbai blasts. Our between the lines analysis proves by this statement as Chiddu Uncle never said that he suspects RSS or any Hindu outfits in the attack. 6428FHZPXHZH

 

Dismissing media reports, the former Madhya Pradesh chief minister, who has often courted controversies, said there was not a single 'byte' on any news channel which could show him using the term Hindu organisations in connection with the 13/7 blasts. Great Chiddu Uncle we got another very precious lesson from you i.e., How to turn around in 360 degree.

After the invention of revolutionary "Zero Loss theory" and the lack of acceptance by the so called anti-social elements, our hero Sibal Uncle despite his old age did not keep quiet and tried to get support for his save Raja campaign from his own party. Most intelligent creature in the Universe Digvijay Singh (Diggy Chacha) and Salman Khurshid (Salman Bhaai) openly supported him. While Diggy Chacha said that cases where charge sheet has been filed the accused must gait bail. However, he didn't maintain anybody's name. Salman Bhaai was more aggressive. He asked for Court reforms so that people who bear the brunt from 2G Scam would get some bail relief.

Bhaai Tales

 

Salman Bhaai urged the Supreme Court to speak in one voice and reform in the direction of consistency, an oblique suggestion that the high-profile individuals arrested in the 2G spectrum scandal and other corruption cases deserve to get bail. Bhaai traced back to 1986 to prove his point (wow) and pointed to the precedent of the judiciary giving bail to industrialist Lalit Mohan Thapar in 1986. "I can't say all those judges were wrong, starting from Krishna Iyer. Lalit Mohan Thapar was given bail at the judge's residence. Indirectly, he indicated that judges should work from home if the scale is such as 2G scam.

 

He said now you may not like it but the point remains that that was the law of the land. That you must go the extra mile to ensure that the person does not suffer before you are able to finally, institutionally condemn him. This is not my view but the view of the Supreme Court. However, he didn't tell the reason why did he take so much efforts to trace back to 1986 judgment.

 

The judges can change their mind and there is nothing wrong with it. But my question is: Is it the position of the court or is it one of the positions it has taken?" Members of Parliament A Raja, Kanimozhi and Suresh Kalmadi, as well as top executives of companies, are in jail facing corruption charges, unable to secure bail, leading many to observe that the courts are parsimonious with granting bail. However, Bhaai neither said anything on the Court and CBI's remarks that the culprits could destroy the evidences nor took a guarantee that they will not destroy.

 

Bhaai blamed everything on media and said the relentless media attention and pressure could have played a part in courts denying bail to those accused of involvement in corruption scandals. He added "Media pressure is very great and not every judge can withstand media pressure. Forget a judge, not any minister can withstand media pressure." Bhaai, it was media because of what A. Raja is in Jail and not in his 5-Star kind of Bungalow.

 

Bhaai admitted the government's shortcomings, but said the judiciary, too, has failings it must correct. "They must have their own internal norms and codes which allow for a greater reflection of a collective opinion rather than an opinion of one or two benches," he said. One opposition leader said "Bhaai thinks himself as a judge who is superior to Supreme Court Judge."

Helpless Sibal Uncle due to Media, Court and CBI L

 

Sibal Uncle's save Raja campaign also received an unexpected support from opposition leader, Jaswant Singh (who knows to oppose BJP to show intellectual difference between him and other BJP leaders). "I personally feel... I am not a jurist/lawyer either by training or by preference. There are too many lawyers in Parliament. I feel that if somebody has been charged and that charge is not of a heinous nature like robbery, murder or any such thing and when trial is on, then that somebody should not be kept in the prison because you can't permanently deny bail. Bail by itself is a citizen's right unless he is charged with such a crime that it must not be permitted," he said.

 

Our hero of SibalNama, Sibal Uncle entered in this episode quite a late as he was engaged in collecting proofs. However, he came with a bang and said "We are in a slump, there is no doubt. And we are in a slump because of several factors, most of all, perception. People perceive this as a sector that is a source of corruption and in the context of the court cases going on. And, in the context of the fact that we have no decision on the 122 licenses that are still in a limbo. Banks are worried to lend to these telecom operators (he didn't name the operators?) without knowing what will be the fate of all these licenses. So it is a combination of all these factors that has led to a negative perception. (But) in the long term, it is a sector which will deliver (ha… ha…).

 

He also gave some emotional touch when a question was asked about what will happen to promoters of Unitech and Swan (now Etisalat-DB). "We have to consider all these issues. After all there are consumers on those networks. So what happens to them? With mobile number portability they can go to other networks, but there is also the issue of investments. So what happens to those investments? Should we auction spectrum again? Will we get the kind of price we got in 2007-08 (DCFC Note - why not boss if you said that the sector will deliver then you will also get prices, please don't copy Diggy Chacha kind of statements J), we don't know? The market reacts to an existing situation. People talk about 3G prices, but if we were to auction 3G again, will we get the same price? It is very difficult to assess what will happen," he said

 

Finally, Sibal Uncle gave his view on the Court's functioning and the denial of bail to Raja, Kanimozhi and their other associates (it does not include world's most beautiful woman "Maria Susairaj" who spent most important 3 years of her career in jail.. sob… sob…).

 

He said "You see what happens in situations like this we all get carried away by public opinion. And the function of the judge is always to rise above public opinion. Otherwise the rule of law is unsafe. Now we leave it to the judiciary because a very delicate constitutional balance that is part of our constitutional framework should not be disturbed. So my worry is that on occasions we seem to be overreaching and institutions have to be careful about it. I am seeing democracy being hurt very badly. I don't want to blame anybody. I think the executive has not only underperformed, but there are issues of corruption we have to deal with. I think the legislature has also underperformed - we are seeing the paralysis in legislative functioning, which is an anathema to growth. We are seeing a judiciary that is overperforming.

 

And we are seeing a media that is entirely irresponsible. I think it is the duty of the media to bring to book those who commit crimes, but that must be based on hard evidence. The generalization that occurs based on specific instances is very harmful to India's perception within as well as abroad. I have the greatest respect for the media and I will stand up at any time to fight for its independence, but independence cannot be misunderstood for recklessness. Independence comes with a certain responsibility. We say the judiciary is independent, but the more independent you are, the more responsible you have to be. The media somehow has not struck a balance between independence and responsibility, which is the hallmark of true independence. This is a problem. More so, the electronic media, and not so much the print media.

 

Finally agreeing the fearful situation for the government, Sibal Uncle said "Everybody is fearful. Nobody wants to get involved with the CBI. You cannot run an industry under threat of Tihar jail. No economy can flourish. (There is) this clamour... that every ministry is corrupt, every minister is corrupt, every institution is corrupt. If you have this kind of clamour continuing, you cannot have economic growth. Which sector will grow?"
