Telecom Doublespeak

By Avinash Murkute

Hi Friends,

When it comes to delivering lectures, Indian Politicians are the best. But when it comes to manipulating corruption who can beat Indian Babus? Post retirement these babus always sing a song of patriotism, country, corruption et. all. But while in chair they will mint money for their own welfare. Oh..Ouch, it is their right to accept bribe. Perhaps they can't live without corruption.

Few top notch are way ahead by sneaking into media by writing sensible reports on how they helped nation (read how they accepted bribe), how his policies benefited RURAL INDIA and how macho man he is. Probably he is trying to fetch some post retirement job, one must understand.

I am not writing this against anybody in particular, but would like to discuss the case of Pradeep Baijal (Ex-Chairman of TRAI). TRAI is telecom regulatory authority of India. TRAI office is situated at New Delhi. Now days Pradeep Baijal is in full swing to blow his credentials, milestones and what not. He may be doing right by writing what he has done. I am right by writing what he has done, that I know.

Let us check.

While Pradeep was TRAI chairman he has passed order of inquiry into Multicolor Digital Corruption of BSNL Nagpur. The order is as under.

In spite of lot of post card reminders Pradeep Baijal failed to respond to complainant. As on date TRAI is keeping mum on issue irrespective of court's order. Credit goes to TRAI that by not acting on complaint GOI was cheated to the tune of crores by BSNL Nagpur officials. This may be due to followings.

1) First and foremost: PB was bothered about his salary and post retirement benefits.

2) PB dams care about corruption and corruption is acceptable to him.

3) PB was getting bribe revenue share out of bribe revenue sharing agreement at Nagpur and New Delhi.

4) PB was scared to take action against Prithi Pal Singh CMD (Corruption Managing Director) of BSNL.

5) PB got 5 L as bribe from AREA Manager of BSNL Nagpur in order to protect 15 Corrupt BSNL Officials of BSNL Nagpur including PGM's, DE's, CMD, Vigilance officers and one CGM.

6) PB does not have slightest regards for the courts and judiciary of India.

7) PB feels himself above constitution of India and Bribe or corruption is Dharma for PB i.e. Pradeep Baijal.

These can be presumptions; presumptions are always true unless proved otherwise. But if people like Pradeep Baijal are allowed to tolerate corruption and protect high ranking corrupt officials, then corruption can never be wiped out of country. People will come and give lectures on corruption. Somebody will write obituary for their good work, not knowing their corrupt acts.

Come, speak against corruption. Speak against people like Pradeep Baijal so that Gandhiji words are upheld -"Corrupt should not enjoy social status in India."

I am writing this to educate people to learn and understand such people. Pradeep Baijal can join me to fight against corruption in BSNL if he still want to fight corruption, will he?

Jai Hind.
