Majithia case: Badal dares CM Mann to prove foreign funding by Saraya Industries
Chandigarh, Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Saturday dared Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to prove that Saraya Industries, in which party leader Bikram Singh Majithia had an inherited share of 11 per cent, had received even one rupee in foreign funding from 2007. Majithia case: Badal dares CM Mann to prove foreign funding by Saraya Industries Lashing out at the Aam Aadmi Party government for arresting Majithia, Badal said that a case was registered against the former Akali minister because he was "constantly exposing" the Mann dispensation over various issues. The Punjab Vigilance Bureau arrested Majithia on June 25 in a disproportionate assets case allegedly involving laundering of ₹ 540 crore "drug money". The Vigilance Bureau claimed the preliminary investigations revealed that more than ₹ 540 crore of drug money was laundered through several channels allegedly facilitated by Majithia, who is the brother-in-law of the SAD president. It included huge unaccounted cash worth ₹ 161 crore deposited in bank accounts of companies controlled by Majithia, channelisation of ₹ 141 crore through suspected foreign entities, excess deposition of ₹ 236 crore without disclosure or explanation in company financial statements and acquisition of movable and immovable assets by Majithia without any legitimate sources of income. Addressing the media here, the SAD chief trashed the Vigilance Bureau's claims against Majithia regarding the disproportionate assets. "The only foreign funding received by Saraya Industries was in March, 2006 when it received ₹ 35 crore from the US-based Clearwater Corporation in exchange for 25 per cent shares in the company. Majithia entered politics only in 2007," said Badal. "Clearwater Corporation, which had offices in several countries, had invested ₹ 50,000 crore globally. All money invested by this company through the NBFC in Saraya Industries was done after due clearance from the Reserve Bank of India and approval of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board ," he added. Badal also said that all transactions of Saraya Industries were scrutinized and accepted by the Income Tax department. "This clearly proves that claims of an investment of ₹ 540 crore into Saraya Industries through foreign funding are absurd and malicious and being done with the sole purpose of defaming Majithia," he added. The SAD chief also clarified that all cash transactions done by Saraya Industries while procuring sugarcane and conducting distillery business had also been scrutinized by the Income Tax department. Badal stated that Saraya Industries Ltd was a private limited company deemed to be a public limited company and was a different entity from Majithia and could not be associated with the latter. "Majithia has no control over the company's day-to-day functioning," he said. Badal accused Chief Minister Mann of pressurizing the state police chief to register a case against Majithia. The SAD chief claimed that no investigation had been done before registering the case. "The Vigilance department did not deem it fit to issue a questionnaire to Majithia which is a prerequisite before filing such a case," he said. Badal said an affidavit, which the government had submitted to the Supreme Court in 2023 while appealing for cancellation of the regular bail given to Majithia and seeking his custodial interrogation in the 2021 drug case, was used "verbatim" to register this new case against him. "This was done despite the fact that the Supreme Court rejected the affidavit in April this year and refused to overturn the regular bail given to Majithia by the high court or grant the request for custodial interrogation. The apex court even asked the A government to complete the probe in two days following which it has now taken this new route to engage in political vendetta," he claimed. The SAD president also condemned the manner in which retired officers former DGP Siddharth Chattopadhyaya and former deputy director of Enforcement Directorate Niranjan Singh were called by the Vigilance Bureau to share information regarding the drug case. Terming the entire case as "illegal and a willful fabrication", Badal said, "We will go to people and expose the A government."

Shimla: Indian Army hosts seminar on Indo-Tibetan heritage; emphasises strategic, cultural, spiritual linkages
Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], June 28 (ANI): The Surya Command of the Indian Army on Saturday organised a day-long seminar titled 'Interwoven Roots: Shared Indo-Tibetan Heritage' at the headquarters of the Army Training Command in Shimla. The event brought together a wide spectrum of participants, including the Army and Indo-Tibetan Border Police personnel, civil administration officials, Buddhist monks, scholars, students, and civilians to reflect on the enduring civilisational, spiritual, and strategic ties between India and Tibet. Delivering the keynote address, Lt Gen Anindya Sengupta, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C), Central Command, highlighted the deeply rooted Indo-Tibetan linkages and stressed the seminar's role in understanding their significance in today's geopolitical context. 'This seminar is a platform to explore the profound historical, cultural, spiritual, and strategic ties that bind India and Tibet. These are two ancient civilisations with interwoven roots that continue to shape a shared identity,' said Lt Gen Sengupta. 'This is not a shared past we're discussing; this is about engaging in meaningful dialogue that will guide our future in light of evolving geopolitical challenges,' he noted. Drawing parallels with a similar seminar held earlier at Nalanda University, the Army commander stated that the Himalayan belt has never been a barrier, as once believed by colonial administrators, but a corridor of civilisation where goods, philosophies, and ideas flowed freely along ancient trade routes like the Silk Route. 'From the diplomatic missions between Nalanda and the Tibetan plateau to the spiritual journeys of Indian masters like Guru Padmasambhava, the Indo-Tibetan exchange has been vibrant and transformational. Even today, the monastic institutions of Himachal Pradesh continue to serve as living repositories of this dialogue,' he said. Speaking on the strategic dimension, he underscored that India's northern borders remain sensitive and require constant vigilance. 'From the 1962 war to the Nathu La clashes, we've seen that the terrain demands not just readiness, but surveillance, technological connectivity, and a nuanced strategy. Our heritage is not just spiritual, but strategic,' Lt Gen Sengupta added. Renowned French scholar and expert on Tibetan affairs Claude Arpi, who also addressed the gathering, delivered a wide-ranging historical and political overview of Indo-Tibetan relations, tracing them from the early Buddhist period to contemporary challenges. He emphasised the importance of Tibetan spiritual traditions and touched upon the sensitive issue of the reincarnation of the 14th Dalai Lama, which he said has global implications. 'Whether the Dalai Lama chooses reincarnation or emanation, that decision lies with him... What we do know is that the Panchen Lama, recognised by Tibetans, disappeared in 1995, and the child named by China was reportedly told to follow a political script. This issue remains unresolved,' he said. 'I've always been wary of politicising reincarnation. China's attempt to decide religious succession, a deeply spiritual matter, undermines the entire system... His Holiness has already said clearly that he will not be reborn in China. He has indicated in his writings that he may reincarnate in a free country, likely India,' Arpi noted. 'From the ancient kingdom of Zhang Zhung and figures like Rinchen Zangpo to the Zorawar Singh expedition in 1841, we must study these as part of our shared political archaeology... The importance of the Kailash Yatra, the role of trade along the Silk Route, and monasteries as centres of diplomacy all speak to our intertwined legacies,' he further added. Arpi also flagged concern over the steady decline in the Tibetan population in India, noting that nearly 40 per cent of Tibetans have left India, and called for stronger efforts to rebuild cultural and strategic links, especially across border regions like Ngari and Western Tibet. A message from the organisers welcomed participants with the aim to 'deepen understanding of the contemporary dimensions of Indo-Tibetan relations, encompassing historical, cultural, and economic linkages.' It stated that the seminar aims to illuminate the shared past, inform the present, and guide the future of these interconnected regions. The seminar concluded with a call to strengthen border area development, promote archaeological research, facilitate archival access, and revive cultural exchanges, including opening new routes for Kailash Yatra, improving local radio broadcasts beyond borders, and preserving endangered Himalayan languages. Both speakers, Lt Gen Anindya Sengupta and Claude Arpi, underlined the need to protect the civilisational ethos that India and Tibet have jointly nurtured and emphasised that this heritage must continue to inform both security policy and cultural diplomacy in a changing global order.
