A Positive Influencer in My Life

Not because she was my mother but all the human being who knew her will definitely say that she had tons and tons of affection for others which is not commonly seen.

 It is her influence that we brothers and sisters understood the world with absolutely positive mind.

 It is her teaching that ingrained in me to always remain positive minded for others and in all circumstances be positive yourself.

 She used to always say that learn and practice to see positive aspect of all human being.

 I never feel tension and it is my mother's teaching and influence.

 Every day her phone calls were on an average used to be 40-50.

 Her contact circle was huge.  She knew distressed people amongst relatives, amongst Sahara India Pariwar people (who she used to meet) and she will make it a point to help those distressed people.

 On her command we used to help such relatives whom we never knew.

 I enjoy in giving others.  She cultivated this wonderful and very enjoyable characteristic that giving is in my hand and expectation of getting depends on others.  So she taught to adopt the giving characteristics since that is in our hand.

 She was most affectionate mother, teacher, philosopher etc.etc. but she was very difficult in the matter of girl friend.  That fundamentalism was there that you can be friend or touch any girl who you shall marry.

 But she was a mother beyond definition and I pray God that everybody get mother like her then I can confidently say that every sons and daughter will grow most positive minded with gratitude character and the strong desire to help others.  What a wonderful world it will be.

SEBI : SAHARA ISSUE MISCHIEVIOUS STATEMENT BY SEBI LAWYER Mr.DATTAR

We object to misleading statements made by Sebi lawyer, Mr. Arvind Dattar in public and media. His statement in media tends to mislead by creating an impression as if 'Saharasri' Subrata Roy Sahara wanted to go abroad before incarceration.  The fact however is that, 'Saharasri' was abroad and immediately returned to the country on being summoned. In November, 2013, the Hon’ble Supreme Court had restrained ‘Saharasri’ and other directors from leaving the country without permission. It is very important to state that subsequently Saharasri was granted permission by Hon’ble Supreme Court to travel abroad for two weeks, yet he did not go abroad. It is therefore clear that the statement given by SEBI’s senior lawyer Mr. Dattar is absolutely incorrect.

In 2012 Sahara has repaid to 95% of its Investors.  Nobody believed that.

But now Sebi in their 4th all India Advertisement through around 144 publications has clearly said that this is the last chance esteemed Investors to lodge their claims with SEBI seeking refund.

For last 43 Months uptil, now demand of repayment to public is only Rs.52.80 crores whereas Sebi already has Sahara's around Rs.13700 crores (with interest earned) available with them and till now Sebi has refunded to public only Rs.51.84 crores. Above all we have to pay Rs.5300 crores (including B.G. of Rs.5000 crores) more to get the bail of chairman and two directors. Also Sebi is holding land asset worth around Rs.40000 crores.

So Sahara is giving security of Rs.59000 crores for only around 104 crores repayment to public to be done by Sebi ever. Sebi do not agree worth of land asset as Rs.40000 crores, They say it is Rs.20000 crores. Even then it is 39000 crores security against Rs.104 crores requirement for repayment to public.

The fact also remains, that Sahara did everything as per law prevailing at that time. Sahara did this OFCD business with written permission of 3 Registrar of Companies under Ministry of Corporate Affairs. For continuously 7-8 years registrar of companies took our balance sheets etc, received the submission of prospectus, did dozens of inspections and investigations, we filed our return every year with registrar of companies etc.

Then why the case is against Sahara by Sebi. Sebi should lodge case against 3 registrar of companies, Ministry of Corporate affairs.

Statement from Sahara's lawyer - Mr. Gautam Awasthi

Pertaining to the today’s hearing of Sahara SEBI case there are few points on which we would like to request you to kindly clarify to your esteemed readers/audience

1.             Hon'ble Supreme Court has directed to prepare and submit a plan of the sale of 86 properties of Sahara of which title deeds are already submitted by Sahara. We would also like to clarify that order is not on the other properties of Sahara and neither these 86 properties includes the foreign properties of Sahara nor Aamby Valley City nor Sahara Star hotel.

2.             Hon’ble Supreme Court directed SEBI that in process of selling properties it has to take inputs and consultation with Sahara.

3.             Meanwhile, today, Sahara has completed the payment of Rs. 5,000 Cr cash component and only Rs. 5,000 Cr bank guarantee component is left. Senior counsel of Sahara, Mr. Kapil Sibal has submitted that since the worth of Sahara’s 86 properties whose original documents are with SEBI for long, is of worth of more than Rs. 40,000 crores and is more than Rs. 5,000 crores of the required Bank Guarantee. The SEBI to get the properties valued and if the admitted valuation is more than Rs. 5000 crore and was contended by Sahara that it should be treated as security and Mr. Subrata Roy Sahara and two Sahara directors be released. To this Hon’ble Court has directed SEBI to work on this proposition
