Jagan Arrest Likely: CBI Readying FIR

Complying with the High Court's orders, the Central Bureau of Investigation is set off for a full-scale investigation in to YS Jagana Mohan Reddy's companies and investments. CBI is all set to file FIR against Jagan on Friday. Though, CBI officials are tightlipped, it is very likey that Jagan may be arrested, say the sources. It is said that cases will also be filed against companies and individuals who invested in Jagan-promoted enterprises as kickback for favourable land deals.

According to CBI sources, the case requires multi-disciplinary investigating teams to gather evidence. Once the cases are filed, the agency would go full-throttle and Jagan's arrest can not be ruled out because of concern that he may tamper with the evidence. CBI's corporate wing will probe the alleged money laundering activity in raising investments for Jagati Publications, Indira Television, Janani Infrastructure, Carmel Asia and Sandoor Power.

The CBI will also probe charges of hawala transactions and income tax evasion against Jagan. The Enforcement Directorate (ED), too, is sending a team to work with CBI to unravel complex financial deals involving dozens of companies. The cases against Jagan will be under different sections of the Indian Penal Code, Prevention of Corruption Act and Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as directed by the court.

Modi Is Not Our PM: Owaisi

MIM is a recognized state political party based in the Indian state of Telangana, with its head office in the old city of Hyderabad, which has its roots in the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen founded in 1927. Unlike most of the regional and national level parties, MIM party leaders ‘fight’ only for the well-being of Muslims, whereas no other party has such communal feelings. In their each and every speech, MIM leaders speak only about Muslims. If these leaders are here to fight for Muslims, then why there are no development works are happening in old city area for decades. Akbaruddin Owaisi faced criticism for making hate remarks on Narendra Modi and Hindus. Recently, his elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi made some notorious annotations. In a one-on-one debate between BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi on the topic of demonetization in a popular Hindi channel, the former left no stone unturned in exposing the latter’s communal designs. Owaisi claimed how most of the Muslim community still remains unbanked and that demonetization has caused severe inconvenience to Muslims. He even went on to say that ATM’s in Muslim-dominated areas weren’t fed enough money. He indirectly alleged that the Modi government hadn’t done anything for Muslims. Even after being pressurized Owaisi didn’t call Narendra Modi as his Prime Minister. He went on said, “Your Prime Minister…” On the other hand, Sambit spoke wisely and called Owaisi a leader of small stature because he talked only of Muslims. He said that no area was Muslim or Hindu and that all areas belonged to India. Owaisi was constantly quoting an RBI report, to which Sambit challenged him to show where the RBI had used the word ‘Muslim’. Sambit even said that if a Muslim leader speaks of Muslims it’s not an issue, but the moment a VHP leader speaks of Hindus people go crazy accusing them of imposing the Hindutva ideology. The most amazing of his counters was to Owaisi’s claims of Muslims not having been brought into the banking system. Sambit said that when banks or ATMs are to be opened in Muslim areas leaders like Owaisi shout that banking is un-Islamic and that Muslims should refrain from it! This video of debate between Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi is going viral in social media.
