LOBBYING IN US IS SAFE HEAVEN FOR CORRUPTION IN INDIA
CAIT DECRIED STATEMENT OF MANISH TIWARI FOR MAKING LOBBYING LEGAL IN INDIA


The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) while refering to the report published in the media particularly the Times of India today that "not only walmart but 15 other global retailers spent millions for lobbying of thier interest in India" as a shocking and disturbing news which amply reflects the interference of global retailers in shaping economic policies of the Country. Such a situtation demands immediate cognisance of the Government and accordingly the CAIT has demanded a high level and independent probe in to the matter preferably the Parliament Accounts Committee (PAC).

CAIT National President Shri B. C. Bhartia and Shri Praveen Khandelwal, Secretary General of CAIT while taking part in two days national convention of trade leaders of the Country at Jaipur, said in strong words that in the name of reforms the policies and the actions of the Government leads to liberalise and globalise the corruption.International majors in all sectors including Automobile,Insurance,Computer Hardware, Aviation and Retail Trade etc. have all lspent millions of dollars in lobbying for their entry in to respective sectors of Indian economy. It is most shocking that Union I&B Minister Shri Manish Tiwari is strongly advocating legalisation of lobbying in India in lines with lobbying disclosure Act in United States of India.

Both Mr. Bhartia and Mr. Khandelwal said that such an advocacy in another words is nothing but to promote and legalise corruption in the Country and as such the statement of Shri Tiwari must be condemened in strong words since the Indian culture is predominantly involves the basic fundamentals of social, economic and political justice which is guaranteed under the Constitution of India. The CAIT has demanded that the UPA Government should express in explicit terms that is it the view and policy of the Government  of India or the Congress Party ?

The national convention in a unanimous resolution adopted today strongly criticised the statement of Shri Manish Tiwari and demanded an explanation from the Government. It further said that Corruption is the root of economic distortions in the Country and it appears that such a statement is given to please the global giants. The resolution demanded the Prime Minister of India to institute a high level probe in to the reports appeared in media today.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
