New Delhi, Jun 29: The credibility of senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, who is considered as one of the most controversial politicians in India, is once again at stake as his allegation against two prominent figures of opposition also proved to be false.

priyanka-karti-subbuPriyanka Gandhi and Karti Chidambaram have only one Director Identification Number (DIN) issued to them, Corporate Affairs Ministry has said contradicting the vociferous claim of senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy that they possessed multiple numbers.

The Ministry has also said that other DIN applications (online) made by them had "lapsed" or were "rejected" and not allotted to them. "Priyanka Gandhi, wife of Robert Vadra, is holding only one DIN allotted by Ministry. The DIN application was made online and processed by the DIN cell assisted by service provider company under MCA21.

"The valid DIN number... was allotted on her application dated January 10, 2007," Pankaj Srivastava, Assistant Central Public Information Officer, Office of Regional Director, NR, Noida said in an RTI response dated June 17, 2014 to Bhilwara- based RTI activist SS Ranawat.

"No penalty order was passed by this Directorate as the power to impose is vested with Courts under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956," the reply said in response to a question seeking a copy of any penalty orders imposed on her.

The issue was raised by Subramanian Swamy who had filed complaints against Priyanka Vadra and Karti Chidambaram with the Ministry alleging that the two had multiple DINs, which is not permissible under the Companies Law.

Karti Chidambaram is the son of former Finance Minister P Chidambaram.

In the case of Karti also, the Ministry said in its response that he is "holding only one DIN allotted by the Ministry. The DIN application was made online and processed by the DIN cell assisted by service provider company under MCA21."

"However, the DIN documents and related information are in the nature of personal information and the disclosure of which has no relationship to any public activity or interest or which would cause unwarranted invasion of the privacy of the individuals as prescribed under section 8(1)(j) of the Right to Information Act," it said.

This news is totally fake. In fact both the persons have DI number more than one. I have sufficient documentary evidences, which PTI ignored for the reasons best known to them.

Mangaluru, May 7: The Dakshina Kannada District Muslim Okkoota has strongly condemned permit for opening of textile and footwear shops across the district at a time when the number of Covid-19 positive cases are on the rise.

In a press note here on Thursday, former Mayor and Okoota President Ashraf alleged that the permission to open the shops at a time when Eid-ul-Fitr was nearing would lead to rush in the shops in turn bringing in fear of spread of Covid-19. 

He expressed his resentment over the fact that the administration has neglected the appeal made by the Okkoota as well as the Qazi of Udupi against permitting textile shops during the lockdown period.

He warned that the administration, district in-charge Minister, MLA and MP themselves will be responsible in case of increased infection cases due to this decision.

The district in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary yesterday had announced that textile shops in the district can be opened from May 7.

Lucknow, Feb 4: Even as anti-NRC protests continue to rage across the country, the Lucknow University has queered the pitch by demanding citizenship proof from RTI applicants.

The Lucknow University (LU) refused to provide the information sought by the people who filed the Right to Information (RTI) unless they furnished the proof that they were Indian citizens.

Alok Chantia, one of the RTI applicants who was refused information by the varsity, said that he had lodged a complaint with the vice-chancellor of the varsity but even then he could not get the desired information.

"It is shocking how the university has twisted the RTI law as per its whims and fancy. It does not have any authority to do so," said the RTI applicant.

Chantia, also a faculty member at a degree college here, had sought details of appointment of teachers for self-financed courses and their pay scale.

"It is possible that some applicants who may not be familiar with the provisions of the RTI, may have furnished proof of their citizenship to the varsity to get the information but that cannot become a rule," he pointed out.

When contacted, university officials admitted that such a practice had been going on in the varsity for the past few years.

"This practice started during the tenure of the former vice-chancellor S.P. Singh and still continues," said a senior varsity official.
