“Lets Keep Kerala Clean”
Enter text right here!India is in a rut with thief Sonia stealing Rs 36000 crore and all others seems to be in the same boat collecting their share in the Rs 1.76 lakh crore 2G scam. Justice Reghupathy said that A Raja interfered with his judicial function. The Central Information Commission CIC had ordered to publish the letter on a petition filed by RTI activist Subash Chandra Agrawal. But in a rare intervention, the Supreme Court stayed order of CIC and referred the matter to a Constitution Bench, which is yet to settle the case. Balakrishnan lied that the name of Raja was not mentioned in the letter. The Dalit Pulaya former CJI KG Balakrishnan said that he himself would have exercised his powers of contempt of court if name of A Raja was mentioned. Balakrishnan is married to Smt. Nirmala and has three children, K B Prdeep, K B Sony and K B Rany and all of them are lawyers. Sons in law, P V Sreenijan is married to Sony and is an advocate and a congress candidate. The thief Raja,Tata etc appears to have given crores to KG Balakrishnan. Son in law P V Sreenijan who had no land in Kerala in 2006 now owns vast areas of land and houses everywhere in Kerala. Balakrishnan had reiterated the same statement after a month in a press conference also and termed the incident “as a closed chapter.” Nira Radia tape also talk about the clean chit given by Balakrishnan to Raja. On July 7, 2009, just two days after Balakrishnan absolved Raja in the media interview, Radia referred the episode to Ratan Tata. “Yeah, I met Raja today. I went to see him today and he is alright. He is a happy man. The Chief Justice has given his clearance on him and he’s happy. He’s really happy with that,” says Radia to Tata. bit.ly/eTzJw6
