Report on Devas-ISRO deal submitted
The high-powered review committee set up to ascertain the procedural aspects of the controversial agreement between India?s space organisation and private firm Devas filed its report to the Prime Minister on Saturday.
Stung by criticism and opposition snipes, the union cabinet on Feb 17 had decided to cancel the controversial S-band spectrum deal between Devas and Antrix, the commercial arm of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
It had also formed the committee, comprising of B K Chaturvedi and R Narasimha, to review the the technical, commercial, procedural and financial aspects of the agreement and suggest correctives and responsibility for lapses if any.
The report, filed on Saturday to the Prime Minister, has been referred to the Cabinet Secretary for examination and to make recommendations on follow up actions within 15 days, said a government news release.
The Prime Minister?s office had come under fire from the opposition, since it directly supervises the Department of Space which is said to have allowed the controversial deal that gave away precious S-band satellite communication spectrum at throwaway prices to Devas.
Sub: (1) seeking immediate arrest of Mr.G.Madhavan Nair – the centre of the S-band scam of whooping 2 lakhs cores rupees.
(2) Award BHARATHA RATNA to CAG for unmasking it.
People of India, especially intellectuals, having doubt on Prof.Rodam Narasimha’s unbiased views on s-band scam. For an instant, after S-band MoU with Devas, Mr.G.Madhavan Nair, while he was the ISRO Chairman made a comment that Prof.Roddam Narasimha is his GOOD friend at a public function arranged by AERO INDIA at Bangalore while Mr.A.K.Antony, Central Minister was sharing the dais. How a GOOD friend can write an adverse inference against his crony? More clearly Prof.Rodam Narasimha was the session chair of the inaugural session of AERO INDIA while Mr.Nair was presenting ISRO activities to aero community. Surprisingly, after the end of the session, unconventionally, there was no question answer session. Prof.Rodam prohibited the audience to throw any question to Mr.Nair intending for safeguarding his illegal approach on ISRO/DoS activities. This can be verified through video clippings available with many reporters. It was well known within ISRO, now known outside ISRO, that Mr.Nair’s morale side was very weak. Various ISRO guest hose log book will corroborate it. Reserve further comments. Prof.Rodam’s morale was also questioned by NAL staff while he was the Director. Reserve further comments. Our innocent Prime Minister will find difficulty to explore the truth and enforce punishment towards the criminals. Though Dr.Manmohanji is a soft person public won’t belief that he will compromise with BIG corruption like ISRO-S band scam. WE MUST GIVE HIGHEST CIVILIAN AWARD TO THE CAG OF INDIA for unmasking the ISRO scam. UPA government must take immediate step for the arrest of former ISRO Chairman Mr.G.Madhavan Nair for polygraph testing and also for questioning him for identifying the depth and breadth of the scam. Note that for influencing Ms.Soniyaji once Mr.Nair made an open comment for launching Italian Satellite free of cost! Such a statement in India invited a lot of criticism against Mr.NAIR, then ISRO Chief; and as a result he further influenced the media for censoring any news against him. All these issues will bring out into light if UPA gov honestly conduct enquiry against Mr.Nair. Moreover, Mr.Nair’s meetings and phone calls with MP CM Mr.Chavan must also be investigated. Mr.Nair’s association with the ex-NASA Scientist, who was arrested on Israel spy scandal at USA, who was with ISRO’s MOON mission team, needs to be investigated too. In short all decisions taken by Mr.Nair while he was occupying the heads of 4 important institutions viz, DoS, ISRO, Space Commission, ANTRIX need to be reviewed on national interest. If UPA Gov is not taking any step against Mr.G.Madhavan Nair, former ISRO Chief people our country will question the integrity of the UPA government, which aids clean victory to BJP. Next PM will be Ms.Sushama Swaraj. MS.SONIYAJI / DR.MANMOHAN SINGHJI PLEASE ACT IMMEDIATEY WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE FACES OF THE CORRUPTED EXECUTIVE. NOTE THAT CVC selection issue and Hon’ble Supreme Court direction was not this much serious. In fact Mr.P.J.Thomas was against ISRO/ANTRIX -DEVAS DEAL. GOOD DAY
