SHOCKING: #MissionariesOfCharity funded through a Panama based firm named in Pandora Papers leaks! Who is the actual donor?
MoC's gigantic foreign funding:
250+ bank a/c
₹1099Cr in 15yrs,
₹426Cr in 5yrs
₹75Cr this FY, from 347 individual & 59 inst donors. #TheHawkEyeThread 1/
While analyzing this freaking 76pg high-magnitude FCRA report, I found something catchy. Out of 75Cr (FY20-21), MoC, India has received 44Cr from MoC, USA. Usually, u may see names of other NGO/corporate as donors. However, 2nd highest donor (13.5Cr) here is Kriti Finance SA, 2/
which is a Panama-based asset mgmt firm. In the last 4yrs , either this firm (Kriti Fin) or something named 'Simi Foundation' (having same c/o address) has routed 32Cr to MoC. By all means, this is very unusual to receive funds directly from a Tax heaven country's finance firm 3/
Now interestingly Kriti Finance SA's president & director Edgardo E. Diaz is incidentally holding a similar position in many such cos including one Furwood Investment whose other two directors are Martinez & Gil. This is the same firm named in the recently released tax evasion 4/
& money laundering report Pandora Papers in context of Wockhardt's tax evasions case. Another catch is both these Panama firms are managed by the same law firm (Alemen, Cordero, Galindo & Lee).
The question is
- How come NO media, including Indian Express which was part of
5/
Pandora Papers have not highlighted this peculiar 18% donation of the total in FY20-21?
- Who is the actual donor?
- Is it a case of money laundering (black>>white)?
- Why such Tax heaven country finance firm would donate to a Christian missionary org in India?
6/
- Why a lobby defending MoC which is already facing conversion FIR in Guj & trafficking case in Ranchi?
- Can a Nobel laurel name grant you immunity from laws?

GOTCHA! MoC has accepted 26.5Cr in the last 5yrs from “Hinustan UNILIVER Ltd” having same address as the famous “Hinustan UNILEVER Ltd.” Typo mistake every year or a trick to launder money in the name of big corporate? @HUL_News@Unilever Check this & come clean. @dir_ed 8/
Just like most of didn't notice the spelling of Hindustan* at both place, that's how typo works 😄
The spelling of UNILIVER and UNILEVER is the catch anyway. 9/

₹ 35,30,346 Cr (35 lakh crore): The commutative amount has been transferred directly to the valid beneficiary account (DBT).
Had it been the Congress era, 85% i.e. ₹30 lakh crore would have vanished to corrupt mediators.
1/
₹30L Cr is an estimated loss based on former PM Rajiv Gandhi's infamous quote. In other words, this is ~60% of India's today's budget. Imagine the level of corruption, that even the PM confessed, unofficial commission, fake ID beneficiaries, duplicities & other means.
2/
Though DBT was initiated in 2013 (parting MMS govt), it was systematically expanded by the Modi govt.
For the success of DBT, first & foremost need is a bank a/c. Govt launched the massive PM Jan Dhan Yojana, under which 52cr a/c were opened (56% women & 67% in rural/suburb) 3/
I can float a party and can promise a plot on moon for everyone. Interestingly, I don't have to explain my technical or economical plan, neither I would have any fear of consequences if I (obviously) won't be able to do it.

In the high octane election in India, ppl hardly care about manifestos & so the parties. Nonetheless it is best reflection of intent & vision of the party.
Problem is almost no constitutional compulsion or scrutiny of promises being even technically feasible.
2/
First of all the word "guarantee" is highly misleading. I'd personally go with Kapil Sibal who said using this word itself is unconstitutional. No one can guarantee anything but only can try. BJP, Congress or AAP, all parties failed here.

The other day I went to a party wearing my favourite Wildstone deo. My host (name withheld) introduced me to someone. The rest is history.

This morning I was feeling a little dull. Then I brushed my teeth with Colgate Max and blew my breath at a random girl. In general, you would have got a slap in such a case, but here that girl started dancing with me.

And here if you are born with an average look and dark skin, you just need to apply fair and lovely and handsome, which will change your look & skin colour good enough to be acceptable in society.
@DrSJaishankar referred Nehru's foreign policy (India second, China first). Congress spox @LavanyaBallal used derogatory remarks and denying the charges.
Here are two historical evidences that India was indeed offered permanent seat for UNSC but Nehru denied.
1/
The 1950 American Offer:
US: we offer unseating of China as a Permanent Member in the Security Council and of India being put in her place.
JLN: We shall go on pressing for China's admission in the UNSC. India is certainly entitled, but not at cost of China.
2/
The 1955 Soviet Offer:
USSR: we propose India's inclusion as the 6th member of the UNSC.
JLN: We feel that this should not be done till the question of China's admission is first solved. I feel that we should first concentrate on getting China admitted.
Supreme court & petitioner and that journalist (which I still believe is just a front face) has royally screwed up the Electoral Bond scheme and its' purpose.
Let me explain, how -
1/
Quid-Pro-Quo: Think for a moment, if center govt wanted to use it for kickbacks, bribes and commissions which payment mode would have been better? Cash or EB!
2/
Agencies as weapons: If the central ruling party has received 6K Cr for Q-P-Q, opposition parties have also received 16K Cr. Why would corporate bet on them if they know oppsn doesn't control CBI/ED?
