The third R, ‘rithmatic has always been my weakness. I use my fingers to count. When it comes to counting the number of major scams (greater than thousand crore) that UPA I and II have been involved in, I am running out of fingers. Just when you think we are done, BOOM, out comes another one! And it’s not quantity. It’s quality as well. You think A Raja was the biggie? You are wrong. The latest one is bigger and badder (to use the vernacular)!!
This one involves this soul called Hassan Ali Khan who has 10 known illegal Swiss Accounts. As per government statements, this man owes Rs. 50,345 crore to tax department as of 31st March 2009. Now take a breath and inhale the number: 50,345 crore in taxes. The actual amount must be breathtaking!
As per Mr. Puri, this man was investigated by the UPA government but only on the surface. Underneath it all, the enquiry was sabotaged. Not to get the details of all this, you must read Mr. Puri’s article below but I am going to point a few things out:

Hassan Ali has mentioned names of Maharashtra CM Vilasrao Deshmukh (of the 26/11 fame), home minister R R Patil and Sonia Gandhi’s political secretary, Ahmed Patel. They were apparently discussing the appointment of Hasan Gafoor as Mumbai Police Commissioner.
Hassan Ali is a money launderer and a Hawala guy. What are the chances that he is in bed with Dawood Ibrahim? This is my question to you and not an allegation. Don’t the terrorists use hawala for funds transfer? Aren’t Dawood Ibrahim and all the hawala operation somehow connected with all the terrorist operation and ISI? This is again my question to to you rather than an allegation. If even part of this is true then the consequences are unimaginable. A major criminal with such deep connection in the Congress. And you thought that Mayawati was corrupt!!

Mr. Puri claims that:Circumstantial evidence reveals therefore that Hassan Ali, the nation’s biggest money launderer, is protected by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee. And Hassan Ali has links with senior Congress politicians including Sonia Gandhi’s trusted political secretary, Ahmed Patel. During his interaction with Ali was Ahmed Patel representing himself or his boss, Sonia Gandhi? If he was representing himself why has Sonia Gandhi not sacked him? If he was representing the Congress President how does Sonia Gandhi explain her party’s links with the nation’s biggest money launderer who is being protected by the Finance Minister?
Mr. Puri correctly takes the BJP to task for not publicizing and presenting the Congress’s crimes to the nation. That is the responsibility of the opposition.
