First of all I congratulate the Members from Doctor Fraternity from AIIMS, New Delhi for their winning of two year’s long battle against egoistic based interference from political system, in the Supreme Court. I hope that they will not stop their activities, which they now can turn towarss other matters concerned to larger public interests.    Corruption in India is developed like a disease of cancer in our blood. If we Indian working in any section of life, would not take it seriously with honesty, it can not be left for any treatment and time will come that it will reach at its last stage.   No one can deny that huge black money from India is transferred, and still going to be transferred to Switzerland. In or around 1980, I exposed one illegal transfer of Money from India to Switzerland by one Important Monopoly Houses. Matter was published in the Economic Times. The then Industry Minister Mr. T. A. Pai, assured Parliament for Enquiry which never happened. One Senior Most Officer of the Company was sacked under consideration of doubts that he might have leaked related Information to me, which was only within the knowledge of the three persons from the Company. Reportedly, it was decided by that Monopoly House that either, I may compromise with them, otherwise I should be eliminated. I conveyed my report to Smt. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, during my one of the meeting in Kolkata, with her. She without mentioning name of the Monopoly House mentioned the aforesaid threat in a Public Meeting and indirectly warned Monopoly House. However, since thereafter, for the reasons best known to the management of Times of India Group of Newspapers, publication of my news/articles were restricted from publication in any of the Group Newspaper.   In 2005, I have raised strong voice against Indian Black Money deposited in “Swiss Banking System.” I sent several representations to Mr. Kofi Annan, the Secretary General of United Nations Organisations, and Parliamentarians of Swiss Parliament and other several Countries, through Email, besides large Number other World Leaders, with my own study. My related activities are mentioned in a Website: http: https://milapchoraria.tripod.com/swiss   During the said movement I came to know that because of its Banking System based on complete secrecy, till 2002, Switzerland not became Member of UNO. But, under strong pressure from European Countries, Switzerland compelled to change its Banking Working System (in conformity with its Constitutional Provision, which allowed it to maintain such secrecy based Banking System), make the law for Banks to “Know Your Client”. According to present Website of the Government of Switzerland:  “No anonymous accounts exist in Switzerland. The bank is obliged to know the identity of the account holder, and of the actual financial beneficiary if applicable.” (Though it indicates, that system of numbered account without giving any identity to Banks is now not functional in the Swiss Banking System. But still they maintaining secrecy based Banking System). According to me, in 2005, the Swiss Banking System, based on privacy in respect of foreign depositors is a serious threat to the basic object of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed by United Nations Organisation causing severe impacts upon masses of respective countries, causing damages to overall progress developments, political and civil rights, as the important part of money coming in it belongs to corrupt politicians and bureaucrats, terrorists, organised criminals, and unscrupulous businessmen, from developing, underdeveloped and also from few developed countries. As per a rough estimates, world’s leader, invested about $3,500 Billion in foreign asset management and about $1,500 Billions in insurance sector, of Swiss Banking System. Out of which more than $2200 Billion are from known foreign clients and more than $1000 Billions from unclaimed assets. Volume of Amount is so high, that if it transferred to respective countries, economical standards of people would be improved substantially. Under the Swiss Constitution Government or Parliament, without people’s approval, cannot remove Banking Privacy of foreign depositors. In February 2005 Swiss Banking Association conducted a Poll Survey in which 78% Swiss People cast their Vote against change in such laws, even whatever pressure exerts by the World Community. In consideration of Swiss people’s opinion, only option is left, before world community, United Nations Organisation should pass a RESOLUTION to protect Human Rights of masses from the entire world, directing its all member States to break their all types of relationship with Switzerland, till Swiss People do not approve changes in Banking Privacy Laws. Considering all these developments, on 9th August, 2007, I submitted application addressed to Prime Minister’s Office, that through application dated 15th May, 2007, I wanted to know whether Prime Minister’s Office ever tried to know the volume of money transferred and deposited by Indian Politicians or other Indians or Non-resident Indians in different Banks of Switzerland to protect their black money earned through wrong ways, taking advantage of Switzerland Banking Secrecy Laws, and under RTI Act, wanted to know that “If yes, kindly intimate the volume of such money and action if any have been taken to retrieve such money from Switzerland to strengthen Indian Economy?”. But, till date such information is not supplied by the Prime Minister’s Office, which suggesting that application might not have been reached there. Therefore, once again I am submitting a fresh application to know the “volume of Indian money deposited in Switzerland’s Banks as per rough estimates of the Government of India and what action have been taken to retrieve such money from Switzerland to strengthen Indian Economy?”. And also submitted another application contending therein that “It is assumption of Indian people that large amount of money is transferred through Hawala by corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and mafia-criminals in Banks of Switzerland taking advantage of maintenance of secrecy of Bank Accounts under Law of Switzerland. Now, about two years ago United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC), gave a chance to retrieve such money from Switzerland, provided India make appropriate law to that affect to recover such stolen Indian Money and prevent them to retain such money any further. But, till date India not ratified such Convention, wanted to know that what are the reason and hurdles in rectification of such Convention?” I received responses from Prime Minister’s Office about aforesaid 1st Application vide Memo Letter No. RTI/305/2007-PMA dated 14th September, 2007 that “no such information as sought by you is available in this Office.” And in respect to another application, I received reply from the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension, Department of Personnel and Training vide Memo Letter No. 142/19/2007-AVD.I dated 7th September, 2007 that “The Ministries/Departments, concerned with the subject have been requested for taking necessary action for initiating the pocess of enacting requisite enabling legislation pertaining to respective Ministry/Department, as may be required. On the basis of comments received from various Ministries/Departments, an inter-minsterial Joint Working Group has been constituted so that all relevant issues for making our laws in conformity with the Union (United) Nations convention against Corruption are addressed in a comprehensive manner before ratification of the Convention.      UNDP Described formula of Causes of Corruption: Robert Klitgaard, a leading expert in this field, devised a simple equation, which identifies the causes of corruption: monopoly control of public officials wielding discretionary powers in the absence of accountability systems: C (Corruption) = M (Monopoly) + D (Discretion) – A (Accountability) The UNDP Source Book on Accountability, Transparency and Integrity (forthcoming/draftavailable at (http://intra.undp.org/b dp/anticorruption/sourcebook_ati.htm) also takes into account other dimensions (Integrity and Transparency), which are also important to balance Monopoly and Discretion. The UNDP Sourcebook proposes the following formula: Corruption = (Monopoly + Discretion) – (Accountability + Integrity + Transparency) This suggests that the absence of ATI (primary as a consequence of weak governance) in addition to Monopoly and Discretion results in corruption. Hence corruption is principally a failure of governance.   With Best Regards   Milap Choraria

Dated 22nd June 2005 Subject : POSTPONEMENT OF MY FAST FROM 1st July 2005 AT OUTSIDE SWISS EMBASSY.   Dear Brothers,   This is with reference to my program for INDEFINITE FAST out side Switzerland, on and from 1st July, 2005 I am to inform you that, now I am fully convinced that, without the approval from the people through Referendum, neither Swiss Government nor Swiss Parliament can change requisite laws: Banking Clients Confidentiality Law protecting illegal money remitted by Corrupt Politicians, Bureaucrats, unscrupulous Businessmen organised Mafia from other countries. In or around February 2005 Swiss Banking Association conducted a survey throughout Switzerland, in which people says that whatever International Pressure exerts, Switzerland would not change such laws. Therefore, my demand from Swiss Government cannot produce any result.   However, this is crystal clear that till economic sanctions would not imposed by the United Nations Organisation (UNO), through its Security Council, against Switzerland, people of Switzerland would not approve changes in Banking Clients Confidentiality Law, which are rigorously causing severe direct and / or indirect impacts against Human Rights of the people of the Countries from such money is remitted, in violation of Vienna Declaration and Program of Action, adopted by the World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna on 25 June 1993, resolution 217 A (III) of 10 December 1948 United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, resolution 2200A (XXI) of 16 December 1966 entry into force 23 March 1976, in accordance with Article 9 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, resolution 2542 (XXIV) of 11 December 1969 The General Assembly, Mindful of the pledge of Members of the United Nations Declaration on Social Progress and Development, resolution 39/11 of 12 November 1984 Declaration on the Right of Peoples to Peace and security, resolution 41/128 of 4 December 1986 Declaration on the Right to Development, resolution 2200A (XXI) of 16 December 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights entry into force 3 January 1976, in accordance with article 27, resolution 55/2 of 8 September 2000 United Nations Millennium Declaration all Proclaimed by General Assembly of United Nations Organisations.    One renowned VVIP reported me that Swiss Government supplied original Bank documents relates to payments made by Bofors, to Indian Embassy in Switzerland, with a condition to return them back. However, CBI or Indian Embassy in Switzerland, under some arrangement or otherwise failed or neglected to obtained certified copy of the same. Though Bank stamped the photocopy of the same, but which were not considered by the Bofors Court as appropriate evidences and Judgment goes in favour of Hindujas.  We will take decision in the matter further action after steps from the Government.    Therefore, in consideration of all such information, and circumstances, I have decided to postpone my program to sit for INDEFINITE FAST at outside Swiss Embassy and to shift its venue at UNITED NATIONS INFORMATION CENTRE at Lodi Estate New Delhi 110 003 (India). But, we should present a comprehensive representation to His Excellency Mr. Kofi A. Annan, Secretary-General of UNO demanding examinations of the impacts of such laws against declared Human Rights, and to impose economical sanctions against Switzerland, giving appropriate time to His Excellency, to consider our representation. Therefore, fresh date for sitting on INDEFINITE FAST would be decided, after submission of such representation and seeing the result thereof, which I would convey you, in advance.     With Best Regards, Yours truly, (MILAP  CHORARIA)  To know about fresh Online petition kindly contact: milap_choraria@yahoo.com
