  • OM/RG/6.00/4B SHRI A.K. ANTONY (Contd.): This Is the Report of The
    -OM/RG/6.00/4B SHRI A.K. ANTONY (contd.): This is the Report of the Press Information Bureau, Government of India, dated 11 th March, 2013. It says, "The Government has blacklisted following six firms for a period of ten years by the Ministry of Defence I.D. No.310, April, 2012: Singapore Technologies, Israeli Military Industries Limited, Rheinmetall Air Defence (RAD), Zurich, M/s Corporation Defence, Russia, etc." These are all powerful multinational companies, and these include two Indian companies as well. We didn't show mercy. When corruption was proved and the CBI recommended that we should take action and blacklist them, we blacklisted six companies. This happened for the first time that six companies, at a stretch, were blacklisted. Otherwise, some years back, one company was blacklisted. So, not sitting on procedures, we also took action and sent a message to the world, sent a message to the arms dealers, that India would not tolerate corruption. We proved that merciless strong action would be taken. That was our message at that time. Sir, this is as far as the background is concerned. Coming to this particular thing, so many friends quoted so many things including CAG Reports and newspaper reports. In the last few weeks, many people were trying to make clouds. I would like to present a few facts after which I will also table them in the House. This is also the official release of the Press Information Bureau relating to the Ministry of Defence, titled, 'Acquisition of AW-101 Choppers for IAF: The Facts'.

  • Speech of Dr. Manmohan Singh, Former Prime Minister at the Sansmaran Sabha to Pay Tribute to Shri Jaipal Reddy at the Dr
    Speech of Dr. Manmohan Singh, Former Prime Minister at the Sansmaran Sabha to pay tribute to Shri Jaipal Reddy at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre New Delhi on 3rd September, 2019 We gather here today to pay tribute to my dear friend, colleague and great leader Shri Jaipal Reddy ji. He was a treasure house of wisdom and knowledge. For ten years he was my colleague in UPA Cabinet and a law-maker for forty five years. It is no exaggeration to say that in his death, Indian politics has lost an excellent orator, a very good administrator, an outstanding Parliamentarian and a great leader. He had an excellent leadership quality. His leadership quality was a mix of a lot of things, the first and foremost was about having faith in his beliefs. He had solid faith in his ideas. As in the case of a true leader he was a very good communicator, listening to others and setting examples for others to follow. A politician with a difference he was an eloquent orator, a writer, a scholar and a witty speaker. His speeches were packed with wit, criticism and in-depth information. Jaipal ji started as a student activist, rose to become president of the Indian Youth Congress from Andhra Pradesh, and then plunged into national politics braving polio among a host of other challenges. He went on to play an active role in national affairs for over four decades. His popularity and followings grew tremendously in Andra Pradesh which made him victorious four times to the Andhra Assembly polls and five times in Lok Sabha elections.
