Re: [IAC#RG] READ THIS NOW - CORONA VIRUS

Dear Col Kapoor (Advocate)

I am constrained to send this email because several querulous emails are being posted recently to this list (but not being approved) mostly by retired govt servants seeking to gag / throttle postings on this forum (which incidentally exists since 2005) with veiled threats.

Accordingly, I am belatedly responding to your benign email of 20.March 2020 in response to my email of 18.March.2020
With the benefit of hindsight, I can safely say that most of what I anticipated therein has come about in various degree/s. For instance

1) On Friday evening PM Modi did announce so-called "Janata curfew" wef 22.March.2020 which was extended till 14 April 2020 soon thereafter and is now very likely to be extended by another month in Delhi and several other parts of India, since LOCKDOWN has been unable to curtail/control  the virus.

2) As I predicted Banks did shut down and there were shortages of money in the ATMs. Petty grocery shopkeepers were refusing digital payments like PaYTM and Bhim-UPI, and even Amazon cancelled several of my pending orders (and for lakhs of other Indians too) placed before lockdown only for payment settlement related issues. My own PSU bank which is a stone's throw from my residence shut 3 branches in my colony and all ATMs near me near me within 2 days of lockdown  and suggested I use another branch first 3 km and then 5 km away, People there say it is mostly out of cash and only 2 staff are on duty there, and in any case how are we to reach there with no public transport functioning.

3. Except for bare essentials of groceries and medicines, nothing is open near me in Delhi (the national capital). Prices of vegetables and especially fruits have doubled. Milk packets were being sold with expired dates on take-it-or-leave-it basis. I am sure others will have similar experiences. It is now reaching a point where systems are getting stretched and even normal replacements, repairs and regular servicings of basics like fridges, ACs. fans, RO water machines,computers, printers, mobile phones, diesel generators, elevators etc is not being allowed. Only bania shops are open for profiteering while private technicians are kept confined at home losing their income with no help from the government. Even mobile telecom engineers are being stopped and I have had no internet service from Airtel for last 10 days. I am able to send these emails only because i took my own advice and precautions and stocked up on SIMs of a Govt  telecom operator.

4. Of course you would not experience all these disruptive things since you (presumably) as an IESM get a substantial Government pension, ECHS and no shortage of fixed price rations (including liquor) from military canteens etc. unlike the general public. I am sure all those other "pro-nation" IESMs like Mr. Anand Gangoli and Mr. Manohar Sharma (who are aggrieved by the "pro-people" aka "anti-national" stance of this forum) are also as privileged as you are to be able to support Mr. Modi who perpetuates your privileges. So before venturing to call me an anti-national, I respectfully suggest that all of you hold up a mirror to yourselves (and your privileges, if any) and imagine "normal" life without them.

5. Fifthly, I am a rational, scientific person with appropriate qualifications and first class professional degrees from premier institutes of India, and with decades of practical professional experience including in ordnance and weaponry. Additionally, because I also argued my first matter in the Supreme Court at age 17 (my son successfully argued his first PIL there in person at age 4 years) your tag of "Advocate" does not disconcert me in the least from speaking my mind on this forum as I am grounded squarely and soundly on fact and the law. 

6. Sixthly, If there is one thing I learned from my grandfather (who was DGAFMS in his time) it is to be honest, truthful, fearless and not shirk from helping as many people as possible by cooperating fully with my peers and seniors in the centuries old war for purna swaraj for Hindustan (which is neither "India" nor "Bharat").


"Socialist governance in Hindu Rashtra (Hindustan)

The entire economic programme of the Hindu Samaj centres round the principle—that besides ordinary functions, of maintaining law and administering justice, a civilised Government has a duly to provide means of livelihood to every subject. If a person dies for want of food, the Head of the State must be held legally responsible for it.
..
.. to achieve this end, salaries of Senior officers, as also the resources of business magnates, land- owners and industrialists, shall be subjected to compulsory cuts and taxation. In short, major sacrifices in new directions shall be required from those who have enough to spare. The Hindu Samaj shall give top priority to this question."

PS: On 18.March 2020 when I sent my email there were only 110 confirmed Covid-19 cases, today (20 days later) there are 5,800 (officially), which is a 22.7% daily increase compounding (despite 15 days of curfew/lockdown). Think about it and what caused it to explode.

sincerely

Mr Sarabjit Roy,

Greetings of the day.

Please stop this nonsense of spreading panic when the Nation is already reeling under corona virus panic - the TV Channels and media creating a great panic already. 

Your act, if proves untrue, would be a great antinational act.

Regards,

Dear IAC members



Per my discussions today in corridors of power, this is likely to be a rerun of DEMONETISATION. Expect announcements from Friday evening onwards.

Better to be safe than sorry.

1) Stock up on food and other essentials for 1 month

2) Stock up on cash, ATMs may go dry and banks may stop working.

3) Do not depend on digital systems, payment and internet. Today 1 major Telecom player seems likely to shut down due to stock market collapse and adverse SC judgment (or may sell discreetly to the Only Vimal group). Another mobile company in Delhi has shut down 80% of its towers in last 7 days, fired 50% staff and cant even pay electricity bills.

4) Hospitals are likely to fill quickly. In Delhi Kejriwal is likely to direct private hospitals to give free treatment in ICU, which is going to amplify the problem by 10 times.

Please do not circulate this message or forward it to non-members. It is only for our members.
