SKDF Making Film Against Dubey Family Wishes!!

SKDF Making Film Against Dubey Family Wishes!!

 

It is most shameful that SKDF conspired to save shining campaign and sabotaged investigation in the Charges Leveled Under Heading – Great Loot Of Public Money” by Indian great martyr Satyendra Kumar Dubey, have now decided to make a film.

 

Friends, please note that the PIL filed by SKDF on March11, 2004 desired investigation in to Barichata section, which was under the control of SKD only and family of SKDF conned to become petitioner so as to exhaust the possibility of Family going independently to investigate the charge sheet.

 

It was like father moving the court to investigate martyr sons Corruption Cases, Substandard Quality and Sub-contracting etc.

 

Will SKDF explain why it took SKDF to file duplicate (exactly similar PIL was already filed in January itself) 20 pages PIL after 105 days?

 

Will SKDF post the copy of the PIL on awaken India and other groups?

 

Will SKDF post authorization letter from the SKDF family?

 

Will SKDF explain why it continues to be operational even after family of SKD directed you to shut down the SKDF?

 

What is the credibility of SKDF in making this film?

 

Friends, SKDF is out to decimate whatever is left of SKD’s sacrifice. Film will in fact show that GQ project is operational and all Satyendra Kumar Dubey’s  “Charges Were False” and he was shot by rickshaw pullers.

 

Great Indian martyr will be presented by SKDF as an ordinary officer who made false complaint only.

 

This shall be another false endorsement that there was nothing in his letter to the Prime Minister.

 

SKDF is working hard to destroy whatever is left of Satyendra Kumar Dubeys honor and credibility.

The documentary would be part financed by SKDF. It is being made by

professionals from satellite and media sector who had taken their own

decision and approached SKDF. The family and the places are in the

script. So please give your suggestions and not criticise to scuttle

panda

Subject: What is the foundation fighting for?

How can one really honor the death of someone who stood up to thesystem?

By making sure that it becomes a rallying point for changing thesystem. So it will be good for the foundation to define its goalsclearly with which it can measure success and failure and rallypeople around it. Here are some suggestions:

0. One objective appears to be to help Dubey's family financially.This is fine and should be done, but that will hardly be sufficient to honor his death.

1. DUBEY ACT. Creating a whistleblower act, to be called the "Dubeyact" to protect and reward honest officials who are fighting thesystem.

2. BIHAR CLEANUP. Bihar looks like a state that desperately needs help to free its people from the nexus of corrupt politicians andcriminals. It is not clear that the democratic process can do it since that itself has become thoroughly corrupted. Perhaps president's rule for a period of time to implement a clean-up plan is the way to go.

These are already sufficiently large objectives. Refining andimplementing these can be a seed for foundation activities.

If we canachieve 1 and 2 then Dubey's death could be the catalyst for thechange he gave his life for. That would be true honor.

Freinds,

As Sankrant said, the real tributes to SK Dubey's supreme sacrificeshould not be wasted and we need to work for reforms in our systems.

There are already some groups working for decriminalization ofpolitics and trying to eleminate the menace of corruption. I amworking for one of those groups called Lok Satta, an org started byanother honest IAS officer Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan who quit hisservice and started this to reform the system.

We can all work together and try to achieve some measurable goals.Then only there will be a meaning for SK Dubey's ultimate sacrifice.

Please let me know if I can do anything

thanks

A good list of suggestions. I would like to amend 1. slightly: justice forhim is a laudable goal: completion of the project itself is notnecessarily something that is critical. He was killed for identifyingcorruption in the process: that does not necessarily mean the actualhighway project itself is noteworthy. Moreover, it appears that at leastsome groups have issues with the highway project (or its sideeffects) andthere is no need to get entangled with those kinds of controversies.

Subject: Re: Defining foundation objectives

I think that while it is ok to target corruption in general,it is desirable to bring special focus to a publicly visible,measurable project which is affected by the corruption.Otherwise we may be fighting the windmills.

We should also be rather cautious about going head to headagainst the government or otherwise making governmentofficials look bad.

The example of Tehelka serves as a warning. Tehelka fought corruptionas well. There was a lot of media coverage and evidence for theiraccusations, but finally the entire effort was crushed and mired inconspiracy theories.  This was possible because the corruptiontargetted was in defense arena – an area not available for publicscrutiny. Also they went head to head with the government andpublicly embarrased the then (and current) defence minister.Whether the parties in question were guilty or not did notultimately matter. As Tehelka website says, their efforts werecrushed by the Kafkaesque hand of the government. Another lessonfrom Tehelka is that we must choose our methods carefully – ifopen to legal scrutiny for example, they should be absolutelyclean.

I can think of no better project to focus on than the one Satyendraworked hard for and gave his life for. It is publicly visible andof great importance to the development of the region.It is also an engineering project, which fits well withSatyendra's and our own background. What good is IT going tobring, if civil engineering projects are in such trouble ?If we engineers do not stand up for a nationally importantengineering project, then who will ?

We must emphasise why that project is important and what itsbenefits are. We must apply pressure so that it is completed in areasonable timeframe. We must demand that it be named the SKDubeyhighway. Instead of working for the motivation of revenge orpunishing the guilty, I think we should try to make SKDubey's dreamproject come true. Otherwise we may win the battle but lose the war.Somewhat like scoring big in JEE chem, yet not making the cut.

This issue here is perhaps more one of social engineering than theengineering we were taught. But that, I feel, is the essence of thefight before us. I hope we can rise up to the challenge.-

This is exactly what I have been saying. Unless we fight against the root causes of corruption we can not tackle these issues. Tehelka and others create some sensation but in the long run they do not work.

We must fight for

1. stopping criminals becoming MPs and MLAa
2. Transaparency in campaign funding — why MPs are spending so much money if they don't get anything back. This is where politician- Contractors nexus will come. We should break it
3. Judicial systems should be reformed — Unless criminals are given quick punishments, they do not care about courts . At present simple cases go on for years.
4. Better instruments of accountability should be established.

Please think it over. It is a long fight but we must fight it out.

with best regards

Subject: Re: Defining foundation objectives

Corruption in Indian society is a very complex and multi-dimensionalproblem. The problem is so deep rooted that only through sustainedefforts on long term basis results (if any) can be achieved.

I suggest following objectives for the foundation:

1. Justice and rehalibitation for SK Dubey's family

2. Commission a fund and system to help/support for governmentofficals who are fighting corruption and require assistance.  They maybe few – but all SK Dubeys out there deserve help and support. Thiswill encourage those honest and sincere officials who otherwise mayprefer to keep quiet due to fear of reprisal.

3. Campaign for legal reform so that our legal system is strengthnedagainst corruption.

4. Public education for fight against corruption.

One of the root cause of corruption in India is apathy towards theproblem of corruption – particularly amongst educated people.  If SKDubeys' sacrifice can help rally people together to fight againstcorruption in India – it will be the best homage to the departed soul.Regards,-Nilesh

Meeting Minutes of the Teleconference call held on 3th
Dec 2003

Time 10:30 – 12:00 pm (Eastern Standard time, USA)

Attendees:
Atal Bansal (USA)
Ashutosh Aman  (USA)
Apoorv Saxena (USA)
Ashish (USA)
Manish Verma (USA)
Nilesh (Singapore)
Ruchir (USA)
Sudhir (USA)
Sriram (USA)
Shartendu Goswami (USA)

Business Meeting:
Meeting was called to order at 8:30pm (EST) by Atal
Bansal.
The minutes were recorded by Apoorv Saxena.

The meeting started with a one-minute silence to offer
condolences for the sacrifice of Mr. S. K. Dubey in
the fight against corruption.

Meeting Agenda:
1)    Discuss objectives of the foundation
2)    Discuss setting up of the foundation
3)    Discuss Media coverage

Topics Discussed:

Objectives of the foundation that were discussed are:
Short term:
1)    To provide financial help to the family of Mr. S.
K. Dubey
2)    To bring to justice the people involved in the
murder.
3)    To generate public awareness of this issue through
Media  
Long term:
1) Fight for the eradication of corruption.
2) Campaign for legal reforms

Efforts so far:
Manish Verma 
a) is working with Federation of India Association's
(FIA) Jagdish Patel  to send letter to PM and other
govt of India institutions.
b) talked with a journalist at Times of India to get
traction with them.
c) is also trying to get in touch with Bhism Agnihotri
: India's ambassor to USA
d) talked to a IAS and his concern was using PMO to
put pressure on the state government could be counter
productive, so it is important to keep State
government in the loop.

Ashish made the point that we should not restrict
ourselves to FIA but talk to other organization too.

Use of Funds:
Aman brought out the point of how to use the funds:
Funds should be used to
·    Financially help the family of S.K. Dubey
·    To campaign for legal reforms
·    To generate public awareness

Working with other Organizations:
·    Apoorv pointed out that we should be collaborate
with other NPOs like Loksatta that are fighting for
similar cause.
·    Aman suggested to take help from the
government/bureaucracy (IAS officer/ministers)
·    Ruchir brought out the point that it is difficult to
accept help from bureaucracy since they are the ones
who are involved in mishandling of the letter.
·    Manish pointed out that the NRI community does not
have significant influence on government directly. So
they need to work through media to put pressure on the
Govt.

Issue of Bounty hunters was discussed, with no
concrete conclusion.

Sudhir suggested to get public figures in Industry
like Narayan Murthy to issue statements on this
incident.
Apoorv said he is working with IITB alumni
organization to get people like Vinod Khosla issue
statements.

The type of financial help to the family was
discussed.

Manish will use his contacts with pressure groups to
mobilize efforts in that direction

Sriram asked about the funds that are being deposited
to the paypal weblink on the site.
Amans clarified that at present money stays in pay pal
account and these funds are not routed anywhere.

Apoorv brought out the point that the organization
should also fight for the Witness protection act
(Whistleblower Act).

Atal said that registering the NPO should be done in
two days. He will look into seeking tax exemption for
the NPO.

Aman pointed out two things:
1)    If  a person wants to send money to Dubey's family
he/she should use the IITK website
2)    For donating money to the foundation, the paypal
link should be used.

Gosami brought out the point that because this
organization has a political overtone, we might not be
eligible to be called as charitable organization that
is needed to be tax exempt.

All agreed that this issues need to be resolved by
working with an attorney.

Apoorv pointed out that we need to have an open
discussion on the mailing list for the next couple of
weeks to get the objective (vision and mission) of the
foundation firmed up.

Gosami said that it is important to organize protest
amongst the local people (from S.K. Dubey's village)
to further this cause. This would be more effective in
getting justice, as the local politician will take
notice

Atal pointed out that Sanjay Singh (SP investigating
this murder) should be a key player but it was felt
that he should keep a low profile because he might
under threat himself.

The issue of asking for CBI investigation was raised
with no concrete conclusion.

Main Summary:
Objectives of the foundation:
Short term:
4)    To provide financial help to the family of Mr. S.
K. Dubey
5)    To bring to justice the people involved in the
murder.
6)    To generate public awareness of this issue through
Media

Madhu,

Agreed. Samir had through, personal emails CCd to me, asked Mr.Deshpande to do the same. Let us then pick up the Reliance threadwhen we get the Document(s) from Mr. Singh or Mr. Deshpande.

As far as your qn. goes why only Reliance and not Infosys? I am notsure. But that again does not mean Reliance is corrupt. Let us accusethem with hard-core eveidences and not emotions. Try going to a Courtand putting your emotional outbursts before proof….It won't work.In this case, it could very well be an unsatisifedconsumer/competitor/ex-employee etc. etc.

Patrika plan: We are looking for getting a PO Box 'presence' in Indiawhich will allow non-netizens to join the Foundation. My ultimateintention would be to flood the news outlets with anti-corruptionnews bulletins, exposures etc. etc. But again to do all that we needto gather resources, pull up our contacts and contribute.

Can you/somebody also find out details about any Printing House thatmight be able to print monthly newsletters, stamp and mail them tovarious folks in the govt., ministries, private/public individualsetc. We can raise money for this cause once we know an estimate from such an entity.

Regards,
Atal

Please let me know if you need any volunteers for the legwork to:

1) Setup the non-profit Foundation in his name (I am in the US andcan do so here). I believe it will mean setup for the Foundation asan entity, bank account for people to deposit money to,www.skdubeyfoundation.org site with a section for whistle blowers assuggested by Nilesh.

2) We could use the site as the tracking tool for the investigation

3) Yes Tehelka did go down but as has been clearly identified theywent after the upper layer (i.e. the ministry)….I would attack themid-layer and use the upper layer to our benefit (i.e project the Ministers as our friends against corruption and go after the contractors and stuff)….Kinda like Sumo wrestling where you use the opponents weight to his disadvantage and bring him down.

Whatever happens we need Justice….Honestly, I would not trust the Indian Govt. to do anything except throw couple of statements to the media. We will have to act ourselves and show them they really messed with the wrong folks.Regards,

Dear Ashutosh,

Please do the needful at the earliest for the benefit of all. You can stop this vituperation by taking concrete actions. Please handover reins of SKDF releasing full control. You could remain a member and continue to support its initiatives. Believe me you will regain your shine in the eyes of people. This is the only way a dormant organisation can be rejuvenated.

I humbly pray to you with folded hands and from the bottom of my heart to kindly detach from SKDF as a owner / director, give up full control and turn into an ordinary member. 

I am quite certain that if you explain the background and circumstances correctly to your family or friends they too would advise you the same. This will be your second biggest contribution to society after the one of founding SKDF.

Humey ek cheez dhyan me rakhni chahiye. Ees email group ka koi bhi vyakti, kisi aur ko nicha dikhana nahi chahata. Sablog yahi chahte hain ki SKDF ek jeeti, jagti aur chamakti sanstha baney.

We are all defacto members of SKDF (by mind and heart). In a democracy, one should bow to the wishes of the majority unless you feel there is a malafide intention which I think does not exist in this case. With a team spirit, together, we will shake the governance in tandem. 

Thanks & Regards,

RD

 Re: SKDF information need to come in papers NOW in INDIA, USA , UK, SINGAPORE, DUBAI,

I think it is time to move forward. I believe that Ashutosh sir should hand over the reins of SKDF to either Dani, VMK or Shadi sirs. The reason that I am not in favour of dissolving it in the US is so that  volunteers like myself based in the US can continue to contribute towards the WBs in India. But if there are legal complications involved, so be it.

I would suggest that Ashutosh sir make either (or all) of the above named people signatories to the bank account in the US. That way they would have access to the records and will be able paint the clear picture sooner rather than later. Since it is obvious to me from the exchanges that Ashutosh sir is ready to hand over the running of SKDF. (and Ashutosh sir if you are not ready, i cant fathom why after all as happened you would still want to hang on. my humble request to you is to hand over the reins to the new team) Let us begin the transition sooner than later so that we can devote our time and energies in strengthening the WBs in India.

Yes we have missed a great opportunity in not capitalizing on an outraged group of individuals electrified into action. Let us not lose anymore opportunities!
