Legitimizing Bribery: Electoral Bonds and the Fall of Economic Justice

Some persons are alleging that OBMA is not seriously approaching the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India for the speedy resolution of the Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL) scam. This blame-game is coming from those, who did not even care to spend a penny to promote (not only in monetary terms, but also in terms of viralizing the matter in general) our online mass petition⤡ as part of our non-violent web-based civil disobedience movement.

Can those “blamers” afford to bear the heavy expenses at the apex court?

Why are they acting like visually impaired persons?

Despite the fact that they have acknowledged that OBMA has put up a lot of necessary research-resultant information on various web-platforms, still they prefer to reside in the shrouded ambush of willful ignorance.

Moreover,

1. Cannot they view the OBMA’s mass petition for suo moto cognizance (link given above) addressed to the five decision-makers, viz. the CJI, the Minister of Legal Affairs (“famous” for his prescribed medicine for curing COVID-19, viz., Bhabiji papad!!!), the Minister of Finance & Corporate Affairs and, above all, the High Commissioner, OHCHR under the United Nations?

2. After such a mass petition, we, as a pressure group, had started our “follow up” mission: we are sending both snail and emails to the CJI, which was received by the Hon’ble SC on 20/11/2023 at around 5.10 pm. We have also requested fellow DHFL Victims (those who are willing) to follow the self-same path.


Mass Appeals To The Hon’ble CJI Through Snail Mail and Email

3. Waiting for the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s answer, after a fortnight, we have filed an RTI on 09.12.2023 to inquire about the status of the 32 pending legal cases.


An RTI to the Supreme Court of India on Behalf of DHFL Victims for Resolving the Pending Cases

Dear slowcoaches (who are playing the said blame game), please don’t accuse others without performing anything on your own. Remember, your (blame game players) ignorance is never an excuse.

We, the few active participants on OBMA platform, are in a great hurry to get the SC order (positive or negative, whatever it might be) as soon as possible with regard to the DHFL scam, or else we cannot approach the next level, viz., the international forum for justice headed by the United Nations, where OBMA founder-members shall plead without taking a penny from anyone.

Actually, the problem with this “free service” of the OBMA is that some persons readily start to believe that within the framework of consumer society, the tiresome research-work done by us is of minuscule avail!

All these slowcoaches, without ever participating in the web-based civil disobedience movement (be it spending a penny for promoting the mass petition, or simply liking, sharing, reblogging on different social media platforms etc.), are criticizing the tiresome work by burning the midnight oil. They are far from the reaches of the compassionate society.

Please (we may be wrong) do not blame or underestimate or demean our sincere and constant efforts in this regard for generating the scope for distributive justice against financial abuse.

“POLITICIZING” THE DHFL SCAM: IS (NOT) IT NECESSARY??

Moreover, most of these slowcoaches attack the OBMA activities by saying that we are unnecessarily “politicizing” the DHFL issue, which simply requires judicial attention without anti-establishment mass mobilization. Hence, many of the DHFL victims prefer to lend their support to the current ruling party, viz., the BJP, while also wishing to get back their money in the DHFL!

The following collage of links (we hope) shall be to break this illusion (or delusion?) that the DHFL matter is somewhat “apolitical”:

1. THE DAWOOD-MIRCHI-SHAKEEL-RKW-BJP-DHFL AFFAIR

On 29.01.2019, the Cobrapost, in its findings on the DHFL scam, reported that the BJP, the ruling party of India, is thoroughly involved in this scam through terror-funding/political donation/political charity. The nexus/collusion amidst DHFL, RKW Developers (Dheeraj Realty), the BJP and the Dawood Ibrahim-Iqbal Mirchi-Chhota Shakeel Gang was alleged through this report⤡.

Evidence 1A


“False”(?!) allegations on the collusion among the BJP, Dawood-Mirchi and the DHFL: A Letter to the BJP President

Evidence 1B


AN RTI ON THE ALLEGED COLLUSION AMONG DAWOOD-MIRCHI-RKW-DHFL-BJP

Evidence 1C

When the concerned authority of the RTI⤡ gave some DHFL Victims quite a negative (ambiguous?) response to the fact of this alleged “terror-funding” affair of the BJP-DHFL, the victims had consequently requested the then President of India, BJP and the Sarsanghchalak/Organizational Chief of the RSS (a non-registered Hindu extremist group) to file a defamation case against the media houses, who had spread such “rumors”. against a party, which is supposedly “not a public authority” (?!).


Requesting for filing a defamation case against the anti-national newspapers regarding the nexus between the underworld and the BJP

However, till date, no such defamation case has been filed either by the BJP or by the RSS against those newspapers. WHY is it the case? Can the slowcoaches answer to this?

2. BJP: RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALIST AND/OR MARKET FUNDAMENTALIST?

Furthermore, it is well-known that the current ruling party, BJP, is a money monger that is anti-Islam at its ideological core and is the torchbearer of the homogenized, pasteurized, standardized form of Hindutva. Why have they allotted 200 Cr to the Taliban-headed Government in Afghanistan (Union Budget, 2023)?

However, what they are doing in actuality is nothing more than veiling their market fundamentalism by foregrounding an extremely militant form of religious extremism. This veiling or otherwise ‘psychotic foreclosure’ is a necessary evil for a free and just society.


The BJP: Anti-Islam or Money-Monger?

This statement regarding the market fundamentalism is to be subscribed by the transparently opaque electoral bonds that was introduced by the present ruling party in 2018.

Evidence 2A

Transparently opaque Electoral Bonds & PM CARES fund: the CJI of the Hon’ble Supreme Court stated that the Electoral Bonds issue is a case of bribing the ruling party. Directly hear it from the apex court:





Factors/Reasons/Causes behind the opening shell companies by different corporate groups:


BJP’s favourite tycoons Adani-Ambani also have such shell companies.


In Defence of the Open Society: consecutive letters to Mr. George Soros on the India Question


IF A[M]DANI SCAMS, CAN AMBANI-PIRAMAL BE FAR BEHIND?

So does all the other business tycoons in India in order to save themselves from Income Tax regulations and for paying money to the ruling party from different sources. Why was DHFL’s ex-promoters solely targeted out of all people, then?

In fact, the phenomenon of opening shell companies by corporate tycoons is part of a compensatory process in the state-corporate dyad. After all, this is a crony-monopoly capitalist regime!

How does the cannibalistic savage capitalism subsume the shadow economy?

Once upon a time, there was a black market of groceries, films, railways etc., controlled by local muscle-persons. The same model is now legitimized by the cronies through something called “flexi fare”. Electoral Bonds play the same role.

Thus, money and counterfeit money pose no difference in actuality, but only in appearance!

3. Now, we have to raise a pretty crucial question:

Is there any one-to-one correspondence between Bharatiya Janata Party’s increasing assets and abrupt bankruptcies in India?

After going through all these documents, we are earnestly requesting the DHFL victims, Please do not depoliticize the DHFL scam, which involves terror funding as well as political charity. Our money is now used by the ruling party itself to fill up its coffers further. If you cannot understand the full circuit of this politico-economically determined transaction, you will cut a sorry figure if you do not identify your enemies and break their images before it is too late or when the iron is no longer hot.


“Depoliticization” of the DHFL Scam (?!) or a politically appropriated matter of fact (?!)

Therefore, it is proved that the OBMA is also quite concerned with the sphere of the judiciary by appealing for suo moto cognizance (as well as consequent appeals in that regard) so that the expenditure on legal cases shall be effectively saved. Thus, the false accusation of the slowcoaches that we are far removed from judicial considerations in the context of the DHFL scam is also effectively repudiated through this article/collage.

A NOTE ON THE TERM: PRESSURE GROUP

Pressure Groups play a great role in transforming an organized agitation into a social movement with collective mobilization. A pressure group is a group of people who work together to try to influence the decision makings of targeted authorities in question. This can also in turn challenge the legitimacy of those authorities and force them to shift their positions or leave the positions, as it occurs in the case of a political revolution. Pressure groups engage in a sort of ‘coercion’ (the ‘coercion’ is to be metaphorically understood in the case of non-violent civil disobedience/passive resistance/satyagraha movements, in which case it is a compassionate compulsion for transformational events) process with the aid of public pressure by utilizing public means conducing to given public ends.

Initially, interests groups with a common set of interests can turn into pressure groups if they can use the element of compulsion as part of their mass upsurge.
