NDTV Frauds V Freedom

What if we could all look at the IT returns for FY 2003-04 for some of our media folks? Folks like Prannoy Roy, Barkha Dutt, Rajdeep Sardesai, Tarun Tejpal, Shekhar Gupta and some others. And then look at their IT returns for the FY 2013-14. These characters weren’t poor in 2003-04 but once the Congress came to power in 2004, the dramatic growth in their wealth is not hard to estimate. Roy has properties in Delhi, Goa and maybe South Africa too. Roy is probably also richer by a long mile in other assets. What about Rajdeep? New channels floated up. He reportedly has a bungalow worth 52 crores with a swimming pool. The sinking Tehelka found life again. Tejpal too built up properties in many places. Shekhar Gupta? Well he is reported to have built up assets worth 36 crores during the 10 years of UPA. Other than that, Shekhar also has multiple properties and farm houses. Political pimping pays, especially if you’re a Congress stooge which gives you the liberty to scam as much as you want.

Many of these hotshot media stars were a law unto themselves. Barkha could indulge in brokering Cabinet berths in Radiagate and be protected. Shekhar could write nonsense like the coup story and tar the Army. And, of course, NDTV had the license to abuse Modi almost every single day, peddle the Paki agenda and leak critical information during terror attacks. Tejpal had the license to… well, he had a license for a lot of things. I have no doubts that if the finances and assets of many hotshot journos are scrutinised there will be interesting revelations. But being the press, most govts usually overlook many offences and infringements. But NDTV has a string of frauds through its owners that was bound to burst their bubble sooner or later. The CBI raided the residences of Prannoy Roy and some other shareholders and that was enough to set the cat among the rats. The reason for the raid was over a complaint on PR’s company RRPR (after the couple) having defrauded ICICI Bank. Here’s the summary of it from Indian Express:

As soon as the raid happened, the loony Commie bunch of the NDTV variety started screaming “ATTACK ON PRESS FREEDOM, ATTACK ON PRESS FREEDOM”. Like goats, a part of this media always moves in a herd. Most of them are dunces as far as banking, finance or financial frauds are concerned. Most of them don’t even understand the issue. All they screamed was NDTV owes a measly sum of 48 crores but Adani owes banks 72000 crores. And these laughable clowns are defenders of our freedoms? So first, let’s educate these idiots the difference between a loan default and a loan fraud.

Loans are taken with the intent of returning the amounts. Sometimes the businesses don’t produce the estimated results or go into losses for multiple reasons. And then there is non-payment of loan instalments or default. All these media clowns point to Adani and 72000 crores as if that is a loan-fraud and they claim Adani is close to Modi and so is being spared while PRoy runs an “independent news channel” which is strongly critical of Modi and so is being targeted. Only an uneducated moron would make such an argument (It’s like taught by Congress which claimed that MLA Shakuntala Khatik who urged to set a police station on fire is being targeted because she’s a Dalit). And like I keep saying, most journos are not very bright people and there is no dearth of financial-dunces in this political-pimp media. Let’s look at some of the defaulters from 2014 and 2015:

I have listed only a few as samples. The 2014 list is from Rediff and the 2015 one from MoneyControl. I have marked Deccan and Kingfisher in red because they involve loan and banking frauds. Others maybe loan defaults but no fraud is indicated. Loan defaults either get restructured, some assets are taken over but making a genuine loss and being unable to repay loans is not a crime. Banks can attach mortgages or if the company is liquidated then banks too have to bear the loss. But a fraud is different. Deccan Chronicle is a fraud because the owners took loans from the bank with fraudulent statements, with bogus assets and valuations that did not exist. Their chairman and director were arrested in the case.

In case of Kingfisher (current amount 9000 crores) the fraud is that Vijay Mallya in the last stages siphoned hundreds of crores to over 40 trusts and firms of his family. Effectively, this is siphoning off money from the company for which the loan wasn’t given. That is a fraud. If Kingfisher had suffered losses and couldn’t pay back loans then Mallya’s liability would be limited only to his unpaid shareholding, personal properties mortgaged and nothing more. But the media morons who scream “ATTACK ON PRESS FREEDOM” don’t understand any of this and argue if the claim against PR was only 48 crores there are bigger defaulters. PR is not being raided for defaulting on loans. He is being raided for loan fraud. And it is the NDTV promoter that is being raided and the channel or no media house has been shut down. This is as stupid as saying a raid on SoniaG would amount to raid on Congress. But PR’s financial scams have a long history and it was a never-ending soap opera. Here are snippets from an article in the NewIndianExpress which reads like a crime dossier:

“When the UPA assumed office in 2004, NDTV had a huge cash loss of Rs 248 crore. It had no funds even to pay salaries… Between 2006 and 2010, NDTV India floated some 20 wholly-owned subsidiaries in different parts of the world - seven in Mauritius, eight in India, two in the Netherlands, one in London, one in UAE, and one in Sweden. All of them were letter-box companies… Throughout the UPA regime, NDTV refused to disclose the identity of the investors in its shell subsidiary companies. It would not even attach the foreign subsidiary’s balance sheet as required by law. It took the permission of the Company Law Department of the UPA government not to attach the balance sheet. By this process it kept out of its balance sheet the entire investment of $310 million in its London shell subsidiary which shared an office with some 3000 companies with a common address… a Mukesh Ambani company gave a virtually interest-free loan to another company for acquiring 26 per cent of NDTV shares for Rs 403 cr. The zero-interest bond is then transferred to another company belonging to Himachal Furturistic Group for Rs 50 crore — with the Ambani company incurring a loss of Rs 353 crore and claiming it as tax expense. Why should Ambani incur this loss for NDTV? Is it to fund the freedom that NDTV is talking about now or to buy it?... Srivastava also unearthed evidence pointing to huge tax frauds by NDTV. He moved to make a fresh assessment on NDTV, which led to the discovery of tax fraud of Rs 300 crore for six years”

The way I see it, NDTV financing was as good as a Ponzi scheme. They would make more and more losses. Then they would get someone to fund them to pay off the debts. Then they would again make deep losses. Again they would get someone to fund them to pay off the debts. This has been going on for nearly a decade. What kind of business has this kind of luxury unless there is political pimping and crime involved? And given their political leanings, often anti-India stances, pro-Kashmiri terrorists stances, there is good enough reason to suspect funding by enemies of India. And at the drop of a hat they threatened anyone who exposed their financial nonsense with defamation cases. All this apart, there is a tax demand of 525 crores which the Delhi HC has upheld. There’s another case of FEMA violation with the ED citing 2030 crores. This is not FEMA anymore but PMLA (Prevention of money laundering Act) which the RBI has refused to classify as FEMA which involves only a penalty. PMLA offences are punishable with prison sentences. So, all this drama about “ATTACK ON PRESS FREEDOM” is hollow nonsense. Are people crazy to have an agenda to even write a whole book called “NDTV Frauds”? It has never happened in media history before.

After the raids PR and media goons like him held a grand meeting at the Press Club in Delhi to condemn ModiSarkar. They claimed attack on media, they claimed this is undeclared Emergency and Congi pimps like Rajdeep, Shekhar, HK Dua and all played victims. Not one charlatan from this lot mentioned that all these investigations started under the last years of UPA and not under ModiSarkar. The current govt is merely doing what it has promised to do – act against and prosecute the corrupt. If PR is innocent and has committed no crime, all he had to do was put out a press note (Oh wait… he has a TV channel too) to clarify the issues. There was no need for this Dharna type childish behaviour almost claiming “we are all under attack”. Nobody is under any attack.

The fact that the browbeating media crooks gathered and whined only proves his guilt rather than his innocence. This has nothing to do with press freedom or any freedom. No media house has been hounded or shut down. This is a govt that couldn’t even enforce a legitimate one day ban on NDTV. And after all his crimes PR grandly states. "If you crawl, they will come for you, so stand up”. Laughable clown! What PR means is that the media should have limitless freedom to commit financial frauds and that too unlimited frauds. They crawl for everything. They crawl for Padma awards, they call for RS seats, they crawl for discounted bungalows through political influence of builders, they crawl for free junkets, they crawl for every privilege that the Lutyens mafia can offer them. And for his fake self-righteous lecture, PR himself has crawled with Modi too, to have his sins washed:

This Lutyens mafia which wants us to believe that a downright fraud-accused is an angel and press freedom is under attack never stood up for journalists killed in Bihar or UP. This mafia washed the sins of all the scams of SoniaG and UPA. This mafia refused to discuss Radiagate and other political crimes of media. Rajdeep who talked about “silence” at the press club was silenced by one phone call from Prithviraj Chavan to bury the Cash4Votes tapes. Most of these guys are political pimps of the Congress who hate BJP, who hate Modi, who hate Hindus and some of them hate India itself. All this talk of press freedom or independence is bogus whining. People at large did not show any sympathy and actually want most of these guys prosecuted for their crimes. I am naturally reminded of the lines from the last scenes from the true mafia story “Goodfellas”:

“Anything I wanted was a phone call away. Free cars and the keys to a dozen hideouts flats all over the city. I'd bet twenty, thirty Grand over a weekend... and then I'd either blow the winnings in a week or go to the sharks to pay back the bookies. It didn't matter. When I was broke, I just went out and robbed some more. We ran everything. … And now it's all over”.

There’s a lot more that can be written about NDTV frauds that actually initiated the decline of credibility of MSM. These are the very people who turned journalism in to a political-pimp business and now claim to be its watchdog. Imagine, a postman accused of stealing Rs.57 was suspended and was acquitted after 29 years. He lost his entire life over a charge of stealing Rs.57 and these crooks of media think swindling in crores is a small thing. The Indian MSM continues to remain the first line of defence for the corrupt.

Who Poisoned Gurmehar?

Across the world Fiberals are going down in elections. They’re finding it harder to stay relevant as does the corrupt, Commie media. In India, we have this problem in a magnified scale. There are Commies of different shades – Congress, TMC, CPM, RJD and so on and their footsies in the media. For want of a word, we call them Sickulars collectively. And these Sickulars constantly plot the downfall of the ruling govt at the Centre, trash PM Modi with any excuse, create chaos and anarchy. And ever since 2014 they have been manufacturing a climate of violence and confrontation. From Christians under attack to Vemula to Dadri they have now come down to a young girl called Gurmehar Kaur. Much has been written about Gurmehar so I need not narrate the Ramayan again. I will call her Mehar for short in this post. We will try to understand how one more conspiracy was hatched by the Commies and media.

Rahul Gandhi had started his UP campaign many months ago, with his “Khaat Sabhas” sometime in September 2016. He then shifted to a cycle borrowed from Akhilesh, since people ran away with his cots. In contrast, Narendra Modi, Akhilesh, Mayawati all started their campaign just about two months ago. The elections to Punjab, Goa, UP, Uttarakhand and Manipur are being held in the same season. So the spanner in the works of the BJP was being hatched long back. And suddenly, when Mehar was thrown into spotlight last week, all of us were left wondering where she sprung up from. From the crap this girl was peddling, I had no doubt who might have coached her:

 

We didn’t have to wait very long for proof. And we had this tweet discovered by many, one from the eternal India and Hindu-hater Rana Ayyub. She was applauding this girl as an ambassador of peace:

And when the hate-filled Rana applauds someone – it’s a Red Alert. May 2016. Ahem! So, just as I suspected, I found Barkha Dutt, the talent-spotter and Evoluter of Paki-lovers or morons, behind this little Mehar and having done an interview with her. From then on, it becomes very easy. Barkha must have spotted her and assessed her sentiments and found the perfect Bakri for a launch. She has done that with Pappu, Pappini, Kanhaiya, Hillary and even Udhav Thackeray but failed to Evolute anyone. I estimate Barkha put Mehar on to her protégé Arvind Kejriwal and life in the limelight is just around the corner. I have absolutely no doubts whatsoever that Mehar was coached by Barkha before the interview on the exact lines to use. And like a parrot those lines were reproduced in the tweets on May 2, 2016:

First of all, Barkha peddled the LIE that Mehar was the daughter of a Kargil martyr. How is that for a sentimental claptrap to surround the girl with? She is the daughter of a martyr but her father died fighting terrorists after the Kargil war – in August 1999. But saying he was a Kargil Hero has greater theatrical value for the media criminals than saying he died fighting terrorists. The young Mehar bought it too and gulped it. And then all the other soundbites you read in the image above is very well coached by Barkha and parroted by Mehar like I suspected. On being asked on Twitter why Barkha lied Mehar was a Kargil martyr’s daughter, she replied it was claimed by the girl herself and she saw it on Mehar’s video.  All this was on May 2, 2016. So Barkha saw the video of May 3 on May 2 – Fantastic! Now, a day later on May 3, 2016 Mehar uses the same lines as those with Barkha to create a “placard-video” like a Fiberal Artyfarts mime-video on Youtube and flashes all the same statements from the interview that NDTV had tweeted. Sample one:

Very sassy, eh? Six-year old kid thinks of stabbing someone? At that age, I was busy playing marbles, Kabbaddi and trying to con my dad for small change. The new Fiberal generation is indeed advanced, they want to kill someone at age six. So, if this crap is not concocted I am truly Darth Vader. This is concocted to stun you and to imagine what kind of emotions must be running inside a six-year old. Very dramatic, very histrionic – all the hallmarks of Barkha. No wonder Mehar calls her an “inspiration”. And post the Ramjas fracas between AISA (the Commie unions) and ABVP all kinds of fake allegations were concocted. While the JNU morons were called students, the ABVP was constantly referred to in the media as “Goons” and even as “Hindu extremists” by Sickos.

But it didn’t stop there. Little Mehar had to go on and cultivate her exceptional adoration for one of the most detested politician of our times in Kejriwal and even troll PM Modi over demonetisation like her Guru:

Her statements in the above images can still be dismissed as harmless fun. But after the Ramjas episode she put out anther placard claiming ABVP were goons and she would stand up against them for FoE and ALL students of India were with her. A bit bombastic for a student. That made the entire Sickular gang stand up and applaud her “Bravery”. It was like she just conquered Tiger Hill all over again. But out came other placards from her video where she claimed “Pak didn’t kill my dad – War did”. That set off a laughter challenge among the RW folks who hit back with jokes and satires that raged like a wild fire on the SM. People were shocked that the daughter of a martyr was defending Pakistani murderers. Even though her father didn’t die in the Kargil war he still is a martyr for sacrificing his life fighting terrorists.

The SM-freaks are good “diggers”. Thus, they dug out all her past utterances, statements and Kejri-association. They also dug out her association with the Maoists and India-haters like Kavita Krishnan, Shabnam Hashmi, John Dayal in a concocted “Anti-war show”. Celebrities like Virender Sehwag, Randeep Hooda, Yogeshwar Dutt also joined in and had some fun. But the Sickulars in media and politics started branding them as ‘abusers” and more jokes followed. It seems FoE is reserved only for Commie Pigs and anyone hitting back with even wit and humour is unacceptable to them. They are always serious and angry like Mao or Yechury or D. Raja. They make me laugh a lot – I will give the Commies that much.

When the jokes, taunts and satire became unbearable Mehar and NDTV jointly concocted another story – that she was receiving death threats and rape threats. Now this is the easiest route a woman takes. That too is an inspiration from Barkha I guess, who is an expert and throwing nonsense and then playing victim when people hit back at her stupidity. I guess this is also the reason they chose a girl this time instead of another Kanhaiya – it’s easy for a woman to play victim claiming “rape threats” than for a Kanhaiya to do the same. And Mehar didn’t go to the police but to the DCW which is also headed by a controversial Aaptard, Swati Maliwal. And what explains Kejriwal rushing to the LG to complain and whine about a student Union?

Now we know who are the parties involved in propping up Mehar as another “Kanhaiya” to be used at an appropriate time. I consider it distinctly unfortunate that they picked on the daughter of a martyr to poison her mind with their stupid ideology and misguided notions of war and peace. Minister Kiren Rijiju is therefore right in asking this question:

Claiming Pakistan did not kill her dad and slyly leading Mehar to hold placards that would imply Hindus were anti-Muslims is a “card” very cleverly played by Barkha, Kejriwal and all the others involved in this fraud. And each time there is an election such cards and muck get thrown up now. This time around, I suspect they were a bit late for Punjab but still in time for the remaining phases of UP elections. Rijiju merely calls it pollution, I call it poisoning. And whenever some election or major disaster for the Sickulars comes up – our “poisoners” bring up some such concoction. So much so, that they imply BJP was the party that threatens rape and the Paki friends of these clowns promptly relay it too:

Finally, Mehar being burdened with the onus of proving rape threats must have weighed heavily on her young shoulders. Not a very nice ending to what she thought was courage and boldness in what her puppeteers coached her for. Folks like Kejriwal, Barkha and others USED this young girl who now faces ignominy in the public domain. She tweeted she has withdrawn her “campaign’ (whatever campaign that was) and wanted her privacy to be respected. The media didn’t fail to spin even that as many grandly claimed “women are being silenced”:

No, women are not being silenced nor is anyone else. It’s just that the Commie Fiberals are unable to reconcile to the fact that FoE goes both ways. And behind this young girl were forces that exploited her innocence and boldness. Even though she claims she speaks her own mind, I think we know damn well who scripted all her lines, placards and videos. We also know who threw her to hyenas like Kavita Krishnan, Shabnam Hashmi, John Dayal and others – people eternally nursing contempt for India. It should also be borne in mind that these puppeteers pick on certain specific universities or colleges to indoctrinate their venom among students. From JNU to Hyderabad University to Jadavpur or FTII. These institutions are the last bastions of Commies and I foresee a miserable death for their hate-filled ideology.
