An excellent interview of Mr. Arun Jaitley by London based Financial Times. He talked on various topics including an Economic Disaster called Manmohan Singh, the incumbent Dhimmi Regent PM and Ottavio Quattrocchi case.

For those who don't understand sarcasm, please don't go running around saying BJP thinks Dhimmi Sardar is a good politician. They don't think so. Mr. Jaitley is just being sarcastic here. Sadly, he is actually pointing out the grim reality of Bharatiya politics that a disaster like this last government and the kind of misgovernance, Anti-Hindu vendetta politics & corruption it has committed, its disgusting that it can still dream of coming back to power. Whats even bad is that gullible citizens of Bharat might just make this nightmare come true.

Following an excerpt from the article.

Interview transcript: BJP’s Arun Jaitley, by James Lamont, the Financial Times’ South Asia bureau chief, and Sunandan Roy Chowdhury in New Delhi on May 7 2009

FT: How do you judge Manmohan Singh’s management of the economy over the past five years?

Jaitley: Manmohan Singh is the best politician India has seen. I can’t say the same about him as an economist.

I think he’s a great politician. He’s never won an election. He doesn’t contest elections. He’s not capable of winning an election. He’s incapable of campaigning. He’s incapable of winning mass activity.

That’s what democracy is about. Without doing any of these things to become a prime minister for five years and aspire for another five years, you have to be an outstanding politician. And then to maintain a Teflon image - I’m not a politician. I think he’s the cleverest post-independence Indian politician.

He’s not a leader. He was a good finance minister. He’s a terrible prime minister. He was a good finance minister because he was executing the policy ideas of another leader Narashima Rao. He just can’t take a decision.

FT: But as an economist?

Academically he knows the subject but he can’t implement what he knows. Because he’s not a leader, he’s a bad implementer of economic decisions. He inherited the economy when the boom period was there from 2004 to 2007. The economy grew because of the impetus from decisions taken from 1991 to 2004. A lot was attributed to global boom and a lot of it was entrepreneur driven. He has been pocketing the credit.

When the crisis came, he collapsed.

And when he collapsed, he collapsed so badly that now he says if I become Prime Minister again in 100 days I will fight the slowdown. That’s always the slogan of the opposition. In the first 100 days I’ll do this. The government in power can’t say this. The government in power has to tell us what it did in the last 100 days. And he won’t tell you a single step he will take in the next 100 days.

FT: What didn’t he achieve?

Jaitley: There was huge potential for infrastructural improvements in India. He picked up the most corrupt people and put them in charge of infrastructure departments as ministers. And that itself has led to a slowdown of infrastructure. Of our highways, our ports. Telecommunications is growing because the economy is growing and the operators are making it grow. But he did his best to prevent it.

For the last 150 days, the country has been without a finance minister. Look at what Barack Obama and Gordon Brown are doing. This man can’t come on television and give a simple economic statement to arouse the confidence of the nation. He can’t appoint a finance minister for 150 days at the peak of the slowdown. A finance ministry official told me there hasn’t been a meeting of the finance ministry officials since 1 December after P. Chidambaram left to decide any issue.

FT: What is your opinion of the Bofors corruption investigation being dropped?

Jaitley: Bofors is the only corruption case in India that has reached the doorstep of the prime minister. The deal was very simple. Trials by the Indian army preferred a French gun. After five trials, it preferred this gun. The sixth trial changed the preference to Bofors.

Before the fifth and sixth trials a company called AE Services entered into a contract with Bofors promising to get them the Indian order on 31/3/86 and being entitled to a kickback. The contract was signed on 24/3/86.

AE Services got the commission. The closest friend of Sonia Gandhi Ottavio Quattrocchi was AE Services. His name being AE Services is proof. The name was conveyed by the Swiss to India in 1993 and the document was given in 1997. According to me, it’s an open and shut case.

FT: But Quattrocchi will go free.

Jaitley: In 1993, he was allowed to escape by a Congress government out of India. His extradition was sought when he was in Malaysia. Malaysia doesn’t cooperate with India over extradition. Extradition is no proof of innocence. Manmohan Singh lied to the whole country when he said he had won the extradition case. Daoud (an fugitive Mumbai mafia boss) isn’t being extradited. That would mean that Daoud is innocent.

So when the Malaysians refused to extradite him. The Indian government moved to the Supreme Court. Between Friday and Monday - there was a weekend - this man absconded for a second time from Malaysia. That’s a victory in his favour. Then he arrested in Argentina. The Argentine court said it was a prima facie case. The government of India must ask the Argentine Supreme Court for permission to bring him to India. The government of India sent a message to the Indian ambassador saying it was a costly exercise therefore we should not pursue this in the Supreme Court. The accounts that were frozen…the Assistant Solicitor General goes to London and tells the Crown prosecutor to release the accounts. That’s the whole case.

Congress Bureau of Investigation lets off Quattrocchi

Shame Shame Antonia! Shame Shame Sonia! Shame Shame Congress! Shame Shame CBI!

"The Government has assaulted and weakened every constitutional office: the Election Commission, Governors and Parliament."

- Outlook, March 2 2009

This is the most despicable and condemnable misuse of power and a constitutional body like Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for personal vendetta and advantage by Congress Government. Congress under Antonia Maino aka Sonia Gandhi has devalued and misused every possible constitutional body from President, Vice President, Election Commissioner, Governors to CBI.

First they misused the agency, now aptly known as Congress Bureau of Investigation, to settle scores with their "political enemies" by racking cases against them and then by conveniently suppressing cases against them when the foes became friends for eg. Mayawati and Mulayam Singh. They also let off prime accused of 1984 Anti-Sikh pogrom by Congress, Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler. And now Italian Ottavio Quattrocchi is let off scot-free.



When questioned, Congress has the audacity to say its recent favorite parroted statement that Quattrocchi case is no longer a poll issue, just as for them shambled economy, out of control terrorism, farmer suicide, Hindu heritage destruction, Hindu civil liberties, 1984 Anti-Sikh pogrom, 1947 Hindu Genocide during partition, persecution of Kashmiri Hindus, undemocratic Article 370, etc. are no longer poll issues. Who the f**k do you think you are to say its not a poll issue? Its not for you but for the people of Bharat (misnomer: India) and Hindus to decide if some or all of aforesaid are poll issues or not. Its like a murderer telling a judge that don't worry about the crime, since the person is already dead and as the prosecution is in collusion with the defense, so this murder is no issue.

A few below the radar scams by BarbarIndian

In January 2006, CNN-IBN reported that additional solicitor general of India B Dutta had told British authorities to defreeze two London bank accounts of Ottavio Quattrochi, the main accused in the Bofors scandal. These bank accounts allegedly contained money received as kickbacks from the multi-crore deal. The accounts were frozen on request from CBI.

Last month, through an RTI application, CNN-IBN found India's Law and Justice Minister Hansraj Bharadwaj may have made the defreezing request himself.

But in further reply to the RTI filed by activist Dev Ashish Bhattacharya, the Law Ministry says that passport of their Minister is "not available" with them. "It clearly proves that Bharadwaj's ministry is trying to hide something controversial,” says RTI activist, Dev Ashish Bhattacharya.

Such gross misuse of power is shocking and flabbergasting beyond compare. Even after this if someone votes for this morally bankrupt and nauseatingly corrupt party under this Italian despot, knowing about such unethical misdeeds and conduct practiced by them, then SHAME on those voters as they deserve such Dharm Nirpeksh (those who don't believe in Dharma, hence are Unethical, Immoral and Unrighteous) Government's rule under such feudalistic & dynastic party in the current Undemocratic & Nepotistic Demonarchy setup.

2. CBI asks Interpol to take Quattrocchi off wanted list

   After figuring in category of people wanted by Interpol for 12 years, the CBI has asked the international agency to take off Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi, an accused in the Rs 64 Bofors payoff scam, from the Red Corner notice list in which he had been put at India's behest.
   
   "The case has been under trial in the courts since 1999. CBI has taken action on the basis of legal advice of the highest order. We will inform the competent court on the next date of hearing (April 30, 2009)," CBI spokesman Harsh Bahal said here.
   
   "....The warrant cannot remain in force forever. Therefore, the warrant of February 1997 would lose its validity, particularly in view of the successive failed attempts of the CBI to get the accused extradited from Malaysia and recently from Argentina,” Banerjee, the country's top law officer, said.
   
   The decision on the issue was taken by the Government on the basis of the opinion and the CBI informed the Interpol that the CBI case--RC.1(A)/90-ACU.IV/SIG (Bofors case)--and subject of Interpol Red Corner Notice--A-44/2/1997--against Quattrocchi should be cancelled.
   
   The case was registered against him as the agency had alleged that he had received a part of kickbacks in the multi-crore rupee Bofors gun deal.
   
   The Italian businessman, in his mid-60's, was named by the CBI in 1999 as a proclaimed offender and on the basis of a 1997 non-bailable warrant, the agency had sought a Red Corner notice against him.
   
   Quattrocchi was last arrested on February six, 2007 in Argentina on the basis of the Interpol warrant. The CBI had come under attack for putting up a half-hearted effort towards his extradition and India lost the case in an Argentinian court in June 2007.
   
   The judge there had remarked that "India did not even present proper legal documents" and New Delhi was asked to pay Quattrocchi's legal expenses.
   
   On October 22, 1999, when the BJP-led NDA Government was in power, the CBI had filed a chargesheet against Quattrocchi, naming AE Services as a front company run by him and his wife Maria.
   
   Extradition request or serving the Interpol warrant on the Italian businessman were turned down by Italy, which had wanted to see the evidence and prosecute Quattrocchi in an Italian court.
   
   The CBI in June 2003 had managed to get two bank accounts -- 5A5151516M and 5A5151516L -- held by Quattrocchi and his wife Maria frozen in the BSI AG bank, London.
   
   The agency had alleged that three million euros and one million dollar contained in the accounts were part of the payoffs received from Bofors.
   
   However, in January 2006, these frozen bank accounts were released on the opinion of the Law Ministry which had sent its Additional Attorney General B Dutta to London.
