My Views (Mere Vichar) :: In suicide note, Arunachal CM Kalikho Pul alleges Manipulations (graft) in high places
Feb 17,2017 , 07:57 PM IST
"We want a central investigation agency -- the CBI or the National Investigation Agency -- to investigate the case. Every politician and judge named in the letter should be brought into limelight and action taken against them for demanding bribe," his wife Dangwimsai Pul told the media here.
The suicide note written by Kalikho Pul in Hindi mentions the names of several Congress politicians both at the Centre and in Arunachal Pradesh along with Supreme Court judges, including ex-Chief Justices of India H.L Dattu and Altamas Kabir, for demanding bribe.
Dangwimsai -- the first wife of Pul -- has demanded a new FIR in the case as the state government did not probe the death of Pul "properly", despite an FIR by the family. She alleged the current state government threatened her against demanding a CBI probe. On being asked who was threatening them, Dangwimsai told IANS: "I can't take the names, but certainly they are people close to the ministers in the current Arunachal government."
In his 60-page suicide note, a copy of which is with IANS, Pul said H.L. Dattu was allegedly paid Rs 28 crore in 2012 to stay an order against the former Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Nabam Tuki, despite the Gauhati High Court ordering a CBI inquiry against Tuki after finding him guilty.
Similarly, another ex CJI Altamas Kabir had given a decision in favour of Arunachal contractors regarding a Public Distribution System (PDS) scam. The Central government and Food Corporation of India termed the decision wrong, he alleged in the letter.
Pul also alleges that on the directions of former Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu, he in 2009 had given Rs 6 crore to President Pranab Mukherjee, then Union Finance Minister. Mukherjee was paid the money after he cleared an advance loan of Rs 200 crore to Arunachal Pradesh. "In 2008, I, on the directions of Dorjee Khandu, was compelled to give Rs 37 crore to Congress Treasurer Moti Lal Vora," said the suicide note.
The suicide note which brings to light several irregularities and scams in Arunachal Pradesh also mentions that Pul was contacted by some (unidentified) people, demanding Rs 86 crore to give a SC ruling in his favour, an offer which Pul said he denied.
Pul had become Chief Minister on February 19, 2016, after he along with 29 (19 Congress and 11 BJP) MLAs defected to the People's Party of Arunachal Pradesh (PPA) -- a state outfit -- to form a new government, bringing down the existing Congress government led by Chief Minister Tuki.
However, the Supreme Court reinstated the Tuki government on July 13, following which Pul and his supporters returned to the Congress and supported Pema Khandu as the Chief Minister.
According to the letter, Pul was contacted till 9 p.m on July 12, 2016, demanding an advance of Rs 9 crore to delay the hearing for one month. Pul was unseated from the chief ministership on July 13.
The 47-year-old leader was found hanging from a ceiling fan on August 9 in the official residence of the Chief Minister. He had yet to vacate the bungalow.
The Arunachal Police had found a 60-page letter written by Pul near his body, titled 'Mere Vichar' (My Views).
The letter also accuses two sitting judges of the Supreme Court of corruption.
"Virender Khehar (relative of a serving judge), had asked for Rs 49 crore from me. In another case Aditya Mishra (relative of another serving judge) had asked Rs 37 crore from me," said the letter.
Mentioning extreme manipulations through money in the Supreme Court while giving important verdicts, Pul said he was contacted till July 25, 2016 -- more than a week after the July 13 verdict -- by the kin of a serving Supreme Court juge with an offer to change the decision of the Supreme Court in his favour for Rs 31 crore.
The suicide letter -- which appears to be written over a period of a month and with his signature on each page -- clearly expresses the frustration and helplessness of Pul towards the government and judiciary.
In the letter, Pul has accused Arunachal Chief Minister Pema Khandu and ex-CM Nabam Tuki as being among the few people responsible for bringing the state into financial ruin.
The suicide note states that the entire expenses of Rs 90 crore for the case -- to unseat him -- in the Supreme Court was borne by former and current Chief Minister Nabam Tuki and Pema Khandu.
The letter also names Congress leaders Kapil Sibal, Kamal Nath, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Salman Khurshid and V. Narayanasamy as demanding money to resolve problems among the Congress legislators in Arunachal Pradesh.

Owning a House Becomes Easier for Army Personnel

1. Army personnel by virtue of deployment in remote areas find it extremely difficult to invest time in buying a good house, therefore, to fulfill this essential need and meet the aspirations, AWHO has come up with a pragmatic business model called the ‘Private Industry Collaborative Business Model’ which will facilitate acquiring houses from reputed private builders at discounted prices for Army personnel & Veer Naris. A Pilot Project is being undertaken in Delhi/ NCR and based on its success, similar ventures will be executed in other locations.
2. Major advantages of this concept are detailed market research to identify the most suitable builder/ project, negotiations for price reduction, due diligence and buyer friendly terms & conditions. Prop Equity, a leading Real Estate Data & Analytics Consultant firm has been selected after a prolonged process to undertake the facilitation process forward.
3. This historical MoU was signed by Lt Gen Rakesh Sharma, UYSM, AVSM, VSM, Chairman (Ex-Officio) AWHO and Mr Samir Jasuja, MD, Prop Equity Analytics on 3rd Mar 2017

GOOD TIMES AHEAD FOR VETERAN ESM BROS? : DISCUSSIONS HELD IN MEETING WITH RAKSHA MANTRI ON 1.3.2017 BY DIWAVE
Forwarded mail
From: DIWAVE Disabled war Veterans
Date: Thu, Mar 2, 2017 at 10:12 AM
Subject: MEETING WITH RM ON 1 MARCH 2017
To: Disabled war Veterans
At the outset, may I remind the otherwise Impatient Veterans that they need to have patience when dealing with the ministry. A lesson I have learnt and which is paying dividends. Many of you may not agree with me. The attitude under the present RM and his staff, in my opinion, is to try and facilitate and implement our suggestions/requests if found reasonable and within the framework of rules. It is our task to prove that.
Yesterday we, Capt N K Mahajan and I, met the RM at his office at 2.50 PM to release the first magazine issued by "Disabled War Veterans (India) for distribution to all War Disabled. The effort in collating the information in regards entitlements etc and work already completed was entirely that of Capt N K Mahajan. The magazine is in English and Hindi. DIWAVE thank him for his efforts.
The meeting was attended by IESL and AFA league besides the Minister of State for Defence, Financial Advisor MoD, CGDA and all officials including serving senior officers.
Now the issues on which the RM are given below:
1. Counting of full service of rank as qualifying service (without any reduction for shortfall in actual service) for war injury pension.
The RM took the details of the special dispensation accorded in 1972 and the FADS agreed to our contention. He instructed the Secy ESW and CGDA to take note. We informed him of the reduction based on circular 555 for which he declared that no reduction in pension could be made. CGDA took note.
2. OROP orders
As regards the OROP issue, since it was a political one, he indicated that he would issue orders based on Judicial Commission only after 15 March 2017.
3. Disability Pensions and Broad Banding
The RM indicated that disability pensions will be on percentage basis together with broad banding and these orders will be issued together with balance of 7CPC orders.
4. DGL of pension revision to include disability pension in the same circular for pension revision.
The issue of consultation prior to issue of orders by relevant authority to avoid any anomaly in future has been agreed to.
5. Issue of corrigendum PPO's and e-PPO's
The issue had been brought up by AFA league earlier and this was discussed in detail with AG informing the RM that it required complete change in the software.
It would be a long haul and might take upto over six months.
It was suggested that the effort may be subcontracted to an IT firm.
This proposal was seriously considered and RM indicated that it was something that needed to be initiated. Secy ESW took note.
6. Empanelment of Ottobock and Endolite prosthesis centre under ECHS
The orders for the same have been finalised with rates approved for each fitting. The financial approval has been cleared and the orders by MD ECHS should be issued very shortly.
7. Payment of Fixed Medical Allowance (FMA)
The RM is in acceptance of the idea proposed and awaited the final proposal by MD ECHS
8. Similar Entitlement of ward in CGHS and ECHS beneficiaries in empanelled hospital
The RM accorded approval for this proposal.
9. Enhancement of pension of widows of war disabled invalided out war veterans
The RM accepted the proposal and the AG was informed. Final decision will be taken shortly.
10. IESL took up following issues of which some decisions were accorded:
a) The adding of weightage towards pensions of JCO's and OR's as previously accorded in 6th Pay Commision.
RM agreed to the proposal and informed Secy ESW and CGDA to take note.
b) The pension of Hony JCO's
IESL intimated that some Hony JCO's who received the honour after retirement were not receiving pensions of the rank whereas their contemporaries did.
The RM after hearing them intimated that the date of honorary rank will not be the date of announcement but date approved.
Also honorary ranks should be conferred at least two years prior to retirement to avoid this anomaly reoccurring.
c) MSP increase for JCO's and Other Ranks
IESL raised the issue of the MSP of the lower ranks and RM requested AG for his proposal within a week.
d) NFU
IESL raised the issue of NFU and RM took note of the same for action.
The RM also indicated to those present that final orders of 7CPC had not been received and the pensions presently ordered may be revised upwards.
Other entitlements done away by 7CPC are also under review and we should await the result.
Not wishing to tread on the efforts of IESL and AFA League, I have mostly dealt on the issues of War Disabled and some issues spoken about in my capacity of attending the meeting.
