BJP’s LG stands exposed of misusing Delhi Police to harass elected representatives


THE SHAMEFUL LETTER FROM BJP’s DELHI LG TO THE POLICE COMMISSIONER
BJP’s LG WORKING AGAINST THE PEOPLE AND ASKING  THE POLICE COMMISSIONER HOW ARE THE AAP MEMBERS OUT OF JAIL ?

Delhi Police has been continuously arresting the elected MLAs of  the AAP on false allegations and made-up cases as ordered by the BJP. The police has tried its level best to prepare wrong chargesheets against the MLAs , in order to defame their image and humiliate them.
AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said in a press conference that the MLAs of AAP are ill treated and their arrest is made public in order to spoil their image. The BJP’s central government was very much interested in the formation of fast track court which according to them could help them in proceeding in the cases against MLAs much faster so that  the CM, ministers and the MLAs of AAP could be sent behind the bars as soon as possible. But in courts of law, truth and justice have prevailed and false cases against elected representatives of Delhi are falling flat one by one.
The court has also warned and scolded the Delhi Police for putting wrong allegations and filing false cases inspired by politics against the innocent.
We were expecting that the LG would write to the Police Commissioner and enquire about how the innocents are being framed and put behind bars for no reason and a detailed investigation should be done on the Delhi Police, which has unfortunately become the personal cell of BJP where they can frame political opponents, make up their own stories and file cases and put anyone in prison.
But to our utter surprise, a shocking evidence has been revealed, which states that instead of enquiring about the careless deeds of Delhi Police, the BJP’s LG has written a letter to the Delhi Police Commissioner, asking about how and why the MLAs are getting acquitted and how cases against them are being quashed one by one, the LG has asked for report from the police that within one week how are the MLAs have been proved to be innocent.
The BJP’s LG is specially bothered about how did  Amanatullah Khan got a dignified release from the jail and the case against him was quashed by the court. The Delhi Police was also scolded for reopening a five year old case again  in 2015, after Amanatullah Khan was elected as an MLA.
This is very unfortunate, that the LG, who holds a constitutional post, is worried about how the Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy CM Manish Shishodia, Kailash Gehlot, Naresh Balyan and Manoj Kumar MLA from Kondli were acquitted in courts, whereas the LG wanted them to be behind bars.
This act of BJP’s LG is really shameful not because he is the LG but because it is not his age to perform so many sins and rather focus on good deeds and earn respect.
It is beyond any reasonable understanding as to why the LG, who is incharge of Delhi Police is misusing this force, instead of concentrating on the safety and security of the residents of Delhi, given the fact that women safety is one of the major concerns of the residents of Delhi.

Japan invest spree in Myanmar

Japanese companies second largest  investor after China in Myanma
Japan is aggressively investing in  Myanmar, even as their European and American counterparts shy away while hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims crisis..
Japan’s businesses to devote a record $1.47 billion to the Southeast Asian nation for the fiscal year ended in March, according to the Japan desk at Myanmar’s Directorate of Investment and Company Administration. The figure, which includes money coming through foreign subsidiaries, made Japan one of the biggest investors in Myanmar for the year. Its previous record was $1.02 billion from fiscal 2014.
By immediate country of origin, China topped the list at over $1.39 billion. But that nation invests less through indirect foreign channels, a DICA source said.
Japanese investment went into property development. Fujita and Tokyo Tatemono are working with a local company on a 16,000-sq.-meter commercial facility near the Shwedagon Pagoda, a tourist attraction in Yangon. The government-backed Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corp. for Transport & Urban Development holds a stake in the project as well.
Kajima was selected by the Japan Conference on Overseas Development of Eco-Cities, a body founded by Japan’s transport ministry, to participate in another project with Myanmar’s government. The two projects are each worth over $300 million.
Companies are eager to make further inroads in Myanmar, which has a population of about 50 million. Many are building new import hubs and working to boost local production, especially in the Thilawa Special Economic Zone near Yangon jointly developed by Japan and Myanmar.
GS Yuasa looks to spend about $100 million through a Thai subsidiary on a new import hub in Thilawa for home and car batteries. JFE Steel is building a plant for hot-dip galvanizing steel, where the JFE Holdings unit plans to produce high-quality steel sheets. And Fumakilla is constructing a factory that will allow local production of its pesticide sprays.
Total investment in Thilawa reached $400 million last fiscal year, with $239 million coming from Japanese companies. A substation built with Japanese official development assistance went online in the zone in February, greatly reducing the risk of a power outage. Roads and other infrastructure are under development as well.
Myanmar received $6.11 billion in foreign investment during fiscal 2017, down by 11% to drop for the second year in a row. But Kazufumi Tanaka, who heads the Yangon office of the Japan External Trade Organization, said investment is not necessarily declining.
“If we look closely, billion-dollar deals like bids on natural gas blocks or [Vietnamese company] Viettel’s investment in the Myanmar mobile market temporarily pushed up the total for fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2016,” he said.
Chinese and South Korean companies are investing in cut-make-pack operations in Myanmar’s garment industry, while Unilever was cleared in April 2017 to invest in local production of detergent and shampoo.

Toshiba fiscal constraints over

Toshiba can leave its the worst of its financial troubles behind and begin building a new growth engine to replace the chip memory unit, its top earner.

Chinese authorities have finally granted approval for the Japanese electronics conglomerate to sell the unit, and it plans to do so by June 1, the company said Thursday. An international team of buyers led by U.S. private equity firm Bain Capital, which will become the top shareholder, will pay roughly 2 trillion yen ($18 billion), of which Toshiba will keep around 1.45 trillion yen. Toshiba will also retain a roughly 40% stake that is expected to keep earning about 67 billion yen per year.
South Korean memory maker SK Hynix will also contribute financing, while U.S. computing companies Apple and Dell will get preferred stock. Japanese optical product maker Hoya will take a roughly 10% stake. Toshiba will also work with other participants on issues like adding production capacity, seeking to compete with market leader Samsung Electronics.
Toshiba need to get to better design strategy to achieve higher margins of profits. Toshiba minimum need to quickly reach the 10% range, the memory unit, which generated about 90% of operating profit need cash rich products in its arm. Toshiba  focus the semiconductor segment more on automobiles, including power chips for electric and other vehicles,  seeds that could grow into new businesses, including lithium-ion batteries,  logistics robots in pipeline for its futuristic growth.
With kitty of 500 billion yen in debt and returning capital to shareholders, Toshiba aims to “channel much of the large capital infusion into fields with strong investment returns and achieving growth,” recently appointed CEO Nobuaki Kurumatani said at a Tuesday earnings conference. The company is narrowing its list of potential targets and aims to start investing this year.
Toshiba is rebuilding itself around new core segments of energy systems and infrastructure.  Toshiba lacks the scale and profitability to compete on the world stage with giants specialize in their products. Acquisitions in fields like air conditioners and elevators seem promising, one analyst at a securities firm based outside Japan said, adding that the company may also reorganize by turning listed group companies into wholly owned subsidiaries.
It currently makes a roughly 2% operating profit margin on sales, while international rivals like General Electric and Siemens boast double-digit margins. Japanese compatriot Hitachi’s is around 8%.
Toshiba remains on the pile of  liabilities, including those from a liquefied natural gas export facility under construction off the U.S. state of Texas, the Freeport LNG project, from which it has contracted to buy large volumes of fuel. The market for the gas has cooled unexpectedly, and Toshiba is having trouble finding buyers. The company is also looking to sell its money-bleeding PC business.
Reforming corporate governance also remains a concern. “It is vital to strengthen our transparency, internal communication and oversight capabilities,” Kuramatani said.
