MILAP CHORARIA Convenor : Movement for Accountability to Public (MAP) : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MAP_INDIA Columnist : For Several DAILY Newspapers in India Author: A MODEL OF NEW CONSTITUTION FOR INDIA B-5/52, Sector-7, Rohini, New Delhi-110 085 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dated 29th April 2005 To, His Excellency President of Federal Republic of Switzerland, Through, Swiss Ambassador to India, Nyaya Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi - 110 021 His Excellency Sir, Switzerland in its Website admitting India as one of the world's largest country in South Asia common with Switzerland as a small country situated in the heart of Europe. It further admitting that strong relationship between Switzerland and India has been continually strengthened by Indian and Swiss dignitaries who believed in the potential of sharing ideas and concrete projects together and first ever friendship treaty signed by Independent India was with Switzerland, signed by India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on 14th August 1948. His Excellency will agree that any Law prevailing in any country protecting criminals or money earned in other country through illegal means is bound to damage friendships between two countries and bound to effect prosperity and progress of victim country and resulting thereby dooming the prosperity and progress individual too at cost of the basic Objects, Purposes and Principles enshrined in Charter of the United Nations Organisations (UNO). His Excellency may agree that under the aforesaid Charter, Treaties, Covenant etc., no Law should prevail in any country permitting individuals to secure his/her black money earned or secured by illegal means; in one country and transferred to another country to secure it. However, in India mass population is believing that under the Law prevailed in Switzerland, huge amount of the black money, belongs to corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and most unscrupulous businessmen from India, mostly earned through illegal means and corrupt practices by misusing the Powers and abusing the authority, approximately more than US$400 Billions, has been deposited in the Banks of Switzerland, or routed in other countries from such Banks. In or about 1980, I have raised and one important National Newspaper "The Economic Times" published one issue relates to illegal transfer of money to Switzerland by one Monopoly House, and thereafter, the then Industry Minister Late Mr. T. A. Pai ordered for enquiry, which was never held. Photocopy of the said News cutting is enclosed/attached. His Excellency will further agree that progress and prosperity of the Switzerland in no way should be dependant upon illegal money deposited by corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and unscrupulous businessmen from India. His Excellency may also agree that doubts should be removed from the mind of the mass population of India that under such Laws, and Money deposited in the Swiss Banks by Indians, progress and prosperity of the Switzerland is causing severe impacts and cost upon the progress and prosperity of India and Indians in violations of the rights referred to under such declarations, treaties, Charter of UNO. Therefore, in pursuit of the Purposes stated in Article 1 and in accordance with the Objects and Principles enshrined in Article 2 both under Chapter I of "Charter of the United Nations signed on 26 June 1945, and came into force on 24 October 1945" and "International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, both of which are legally binding treaties upon the UNO Members as International Bill of Rights" Switzerland should change its respective Laws. This matter should have been initiated by the Government of India, but for the reasons not known, Government of India completely failed or ignored, to take up the matter with the Switzerland Government. Therefore, in view of such circumstances, I hereby humbly demand that Government of Switzerland in principle should accept for appropriate amendments in its Laws to ensure disclosures of following information to the people of India relating to the "Money Transferred from India and deposited in or withdrawn from the Swiss Banks with the Names of Indians, Non-Resident Indians or others, date of opening of Accounts, volume of Money etc. etc.". Such Information should be made available starting from 14th August 1948: the date of friendship treaty signed between India and Switzerland, and should be available by the Switzerland Banks through Switzerland Ambassador in India or through Internet with the following details:- 1: Account Nos. in which money comes from India; 2: Account Nos. in which money comes from India, but transferred to any other country; 3: Account Nos. in which money comes from India in violation of the respective Indian Laws, respective Rules and Guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India; and 4: Account Nos. in which money comes from India in violation of the respective Indian Laws, respective Rules and Guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India, but subsequently transferred to any other country. In response to this demand Letter, Switzerland Government should spell out time frame within which it will make such information available to public of India. Therefore my this Humble submissions His Excellency should be noted that in case within one month's time, if Federal Republican Government of Switzerland does not accept our such demands in principles, I shall have no other alternative but to fix a date and after conveying the same to Ambassador of Switzerland in India I will start on such fixed date "Fast till Demands Met" outside Switzerland Embassy in New Delhi (India), with the persons who will also sit with me for "Fast till Demands Met" and Organisations supporting our demand.

TRUE COPY OF NEWS PUBLIDHRF IN THE ECONOMIC TIMES:- (Photocopy of the News item can be seen: http://milapchoraria.tripod.com/swiss) "Shareholders' rights FROM OUR INDUSTRIAL CORRESPONDENT PUNE, March 7. The recent exhortations of the `Union Minister of State for finance and the Union Law Minister upon the shareholders of public limited companies to keep a watch on practices of the management for the implementation of the Prime Minister's 20 point program, seem to have brought the rights of shareholders to get replies to their queries into a subject of debate. The present economic crisis has apparently made a section of shareholders shaky and inquisitive about the modus operandi of the management of the companies especially of those whose prospects look bleak. Since many shareholders are also engaged with the use of raw materials produced by the companies whose share they may be holding, the prevailing constraints in the economy have forced them to seek an insight of the company management. But the management side is still to get used to satisfying the enquiries of the shareholders despite the fact that the number of such enquiries is ment. As a result the rights of a general meeting of the company have been challenged by one of the big houses controlling aluminium companies. The enquiring shareholder had to be told by the company's solicitors (the second man of the solicitor firm is also a director of the aluminium company) that the company `cannot enter into correspondence with individual shareholders and if you have any questions to ask regarding the affairs and management of our clients you may do so at the company in your capacity as a member of the company in much the same way as any other member". The company's reply was, however, provoked by the nature of the enquiries the shareholder made. They related in the first instance, to special facilities given to certain firms formed with the near relatives and friends of the directors, special adviser and top executive of the company disregarding cost factors in buying materials and normal commission factors in selling goods with or without the resolutions of the board of directors. Secondly the shareholder wanted to know whether purchases from International General Electric co., USA by the company's subsidiary Thermal power generating company had been made with uncalled for commission paid to firm in Switzerland where both the controlling house of the aluminium company and the US company had some business interest. The third query referred to the commission paid to the same Indo-American firm of Switzerland against purchases made from the rupee payment countries and whether the commission, so paid were in rupee or in foreign currency. The fourth query relates to transactions with a dozen firms all over the country at terms which raised the doubt of special facilities given at the cost of economic discipline of the aluminium company. The last two questions were in respect of the sale of dross, accounting for substantial reduction in the profitability of the company seen in the context of the market price for dross obtaining in the past five years and the mode of buying caustic soda from a manufacturing company owned by the same big house controlling the aluminium company. In the process the positive role of the shareholders on which the government relies in respect of putting checks on indiscipline from within the companies may be negative."
