Copies to Ministry of Petroleum, PMO, Cabinet Secretariat, CVC, DPG,
DARPG, Cyber Crime Cell Mumbai and Establishment Officer- Ministry of Personnel:
With a message to all concerned Bureaucrats: This is Further to Numerous
letters and CD’s sent since 2003 onwards on the whistle blowing against Corruption
in HPCL. A day, a month , an year or
perhaps a decade will certainly come
when the PMO, Ministry of Petroleum, CVC and other Govt. Officials will wake up to act
against the corrupt and criminals in HPCL without getting influenced by the financial might of HPCL. You may think
that the language written in this email is harsh. Sirs, if you want to see the
real filthy, abusive, criminal, castist ,defamatory and threatening language
used by the ‘Sarkari Oil Magnates’ ; kindly see the hate emails, against this
whistle blower, issued by HPCL Officials from 2004 to 2007 to more than 11000
employees of HPCL. A few of them are appended along with the email dated
29/12/2009.
Subject: Scam of
scams and ‘Corporate Encounter’ of a whistle blower by HPCL.
Dear Sirs,
Refer the self explanatory email
dated 29/12/2009 copied to HPCL, Min. of Pet. & PMO. (Appended below). Also
refer to the letters in this regard from the PMO/MOP&NG and the reply from
GM-HRD. Please also see the email dated 7/3/2010 regarding corruption and also
about the denied experience certificate.
This whistleblower has been
requesting HR department since separation, for the clearance of all dues and
also for experience certificate. As this writer has neither massaged the ‘king
size ego’ of corrupt and criminal HPCL Management, nor has offered bribe; the
dues- in several lacs- are yet to be cleared even after termination of the
services in Oct 2006. HPCL Management is expecting bribe to issue the
experience certificate too.
Whenever this EX-Officer (worked
in HPCL for 22 years) and a Whistle Blower (now for ten years-for details see
any of the CD’s) has tried to know the reasons for not clearing the long pending
dues and even the experience certificate; HR Mumbai and Delhi Officials have
given the following wide, varied and weird reasons at different times in last four
and half years:
(1) The
matter is being looked into by the Chairman himself……
(2) All
dues have been cleared……
(3) There
is no policy to issue experience certificate….
(4) It is
the prerogative of the Management to issue the certificate or not…
(5) Matter
is pending with Dir HR….
(6) As
the matter has been taken up the matter with PMO…now ask PMO only….
(7) As the
matter is sub judice, dues and certificate can be cleared by the Court only...
You took more than 18 months to
clear statutory PF and gratuity, more than 24 months to clear Group Insurance
amount ( all the facts verifiable at your end), as this whistle blower had never
given bribe or expensive gifts to any one of you. ( Had one not blown the
whistle or refused to sign on the ‘dotted lines’ and had one given the bosses
expensive gifts year after year; one could be a serving (and servile) GM in HPCL by now .
No regrets. Instead,
this whistle blower is proud to have blown whistle 2001 onwards for the sake of
the real but conveniently forgotten owners of HPCL- The citizens of the Country.)
Now you may even take 18 years to clear the balance amount as one does not
intend to pay bribe. You all are law unto yourselves having created a luxurious
and almost impregnable island of aristocracy known as HPCL in the midst of poor
democracy known as India.
You can stoop to any level as you have shown in the past by repeatedly sending abusive
and defamatory hate emails to more than 11000 employees of HPCL, for your own use,
from the Official HPCL Email messaging system against this whistle blower from
2004 to 2007 with great impunity. The law of land is not applicable to you, it
seems. You do not have any respect for the instructions given by the
administrative ministry – after all you are so powerful financially that
Ministry always overlooks your indiscipline. T
here are enough proves, available
with the Ministry of Petroleum; to initiate disciplinary and criminal
proceedings against HPCL top brass, but Murali Deora and MS Srinivasan (now
accused in PFC scam by the CAG) were always hand in glove with you all: the Rich and Mighty PSU Oil Magnates
who can purchase anything and almost every one. Hopefully, Mr. Jaipal Reddy
will act honestly one day to initiate criminal and disciplinary proceedings
against you. Mr. Jaipal Reddy and the New Secretary may wish to refer their
file no. No.17023/509/PGC-2004 to
know the details. There are several CD’s lying unopened in the Ministry.
It is the last reason of ‘matter is
sub judice’ that is given by a HR Official that has forced one to add this clarification.
It appears that there is a wrong notion
prevalent in HPCL that the writer has filed a legal case against HPCL
for reinstatement. No legal case has been initiated by this whistleblower to
work again in HPCL even for a day under the present corrupt and criminal HPCL
Management headed by you. One can not serve the country by working under you as
the unwritten rule of HPCL is simple- Work for your bosses, to make them rich
grade wise or otherwise; forget about the Country. It is the writer’s informed
opinion that working under the present HPCL Management team is as disgraceful
as working under a don or a naxal leader or any other anti-national entity.
You have already ‘encountered’
this writer professionally long time back in 2006 against the ‘crime of whistle
blowing started in 2001’. By not giving experience certificate and not clearing
dues you have further demonstrated how ‘professional’ you are in ‘Corporate
Encounters’. While this whistle blower
does not wish to work again in HPCL till criminal, disciplinary proceedings are
initiated against the HPCL Mgmt., fight against Corruption and victimization continues.
This is just another step, in the ten year long fight against corruption, to
expose the corrupt and criminal practices prevalent in one of the Navratna
Companies owned by the country but being abused by the HPCL Mgmt.
By a copy of this email the Pet.
Minister, Min.Officials and Part Time Directors of HPCL are being requested to
kindly be proactive and see any of the CD’s sent to the Authorities including
Company Secretary in the last six years just to know the criminal and corrupt
bent of Mgmt Team. In case you need the CD directly, please ask.
Can Mr. Jaipal Reddy please help in
getting the long pending dues and the experience certificate, without paying the
bribe? (This is not to request for the reinstatement in HPCL as the Ministry/CVC have failed
miserably in the past to protect Whistle Blowers despite the GOI resolution, under
the Direction from the Supreme Court, to protect the Whistle Blowers.). One earnestly
hopes that Shri Jaipal Reddy and the Petroleum Secretary will be honest enough
to initiate Administrative and Criminal proceedings against the Management of
HPCL.
If Mr.Jaipal Reddy is interested,
this whistle Blower would like to give a presentation to the Oil Ministry about
various scams of HPCL like – Transfer scam, Promotion scam, Engineering scam,
Pilferage scam, GMR scam, Kingfisher
scam, kerosene scam, stock loss scam, travel scams, DCO scams, in fact the scam
of scams, and also about the culture of ‘Corporate Encounter’ initiated by MB
Lal, Arun Balakrishnan, S Roychoudhury, B Mukherjee, V.Vizia Saradhi ( The past
and present CMD’s and Directors of HPCL) to silence this whistle blower. One
dares to say that collectively these scams and other scams in the Oil Industry,
for the last three decades, are more startling and damaging than the much
discussed 2G Scam- in magnitude as well as extent.
A copy of the email is marked to
media persons also- to the addresses available- for their understanding and
wider circulation. This writer is neither a member of a political party nor a
social activist but now only a small
time teacher happy to be alive having survived physical assaults while working
as an Officer in HPCL. This writer is not in a position to arrange a Press
Conference but a self explanatory and interactive CD encompassing all the
details can be sent within 72 hours of the receipt of the request.
Friends in the Civil Society are
requested to kindly circulate this email to as many people as possible. The
people, the owner of Oil companies should after all know one of the several
reasons why they are made to pay Rs. 70 for a litre of Petrol while no body
questions the working of these sarkari Oil Magnets. Wake up dear owners, wake
up!
