AAP founders swindle crores of donations

Team Anna swindles crores of donations

New Delhi: Ever since social activists Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal parted ways, the clouds of controversy around the two have been darkening. Kejriwal is yet again in the middle of storm ever since the reports about him returning the donated money to Anna, emerged.

Serious questions are being raised regarding India Against Corruption  finances after an audit report published by the NGO showed some shocking discrepancies.

Kejriwal, who talked about transparency and accountability at all government levels, is himself facing allegations over misuse of funds from his own members.

Notably, Kejriwal, is under fire heat from those people, who were once part of the erstwhile Team Anna during the anti-corruption agitations. On facing the heat, Kejriwal-led Public Cause Research Foundation made the audit report till March 31, 2012, public on their site.

An audit of the donations received by Team Anna has been shared by The Public Cause Research Foundation (PCRF), which counts among its trustees Arvind Kejriwal, who was once Anna’s closest aide.

However, a thorough analysis of the audit report revealed several discrepancies.

For instance, the office pantry expenses for the period ending on September 30, 2011 were Rs 21,927. However, the pantry expenses in the next six months increased manifolds to Rs 89,070. The audit report also reveals that the communication expenses which were Rs 2,68,986 at the end of September 2011, doubled in a span of six months. The communication expenses for the period ending March 31, 2012 reached Rs 5,77,474.

The speed with which legal expenses increased, the audit report is bound to raise several questions on the credibility of the Magsaysay award winner. For instance, till September last year, the audit report showed the legal expenses to be Rs 14,936 but the expenditure on legal activities was calculated to be Rs 2,90,742 by March end this year.

This accounts to 20 times increase in the legal expenses by erstwhile Team Anna in the span of six months. This at a time when the erstwhile Team Anna had prominent lawyers and legal advisors like Shanti Bhushan and Prashant Bhushan.

Further comparison between the two audit reports of PCRF revealed that the printing and stationery cost that was as high as Rs 2,81,318 on September 30, 2011, reduced to Rs 1,53,965 till March end this year. Major difference in the stationery expenses either hint at some flaws in the audit report or discrepancy in the preparation of balance sheet.

Another serious discrepancy was noticed in the publication expenses. The publication expenses which were Rs 26,55,978 on September 30, declined by almost Rs 10 lakh. The publication expenses were found to be Rs. 16,69,656 as on March 31, 2012.

Similarly, the analysis of the two audit reports also showed that the office rent was hiked upto Rs 50,000 in merely six months. The office rent, which was Rs 1,39,850 on September 30 2011, increased to Rs 1,89,077 by March 31 this year.

According to the audit report, the agitation received highest donation of Rs 25 lakh from Sitaram Jindal on behalf of Jindal Steel. Notably, Congress MP Naveen Jindal, is the chairman and MD of Jindal Steel & Power. Kejriwal never hesitated to recieve donation from the company owned by the individual, whose Jindal Power is one of the beneficiaries of the coal allocations.

IAC condemns AAP sale of IAC members mobile numbers

IAC National Convenor Sarbajit Roy has condemned the desperate sale (allegedly by a senior Aam Aadmi Party member**, apparently to raise funds for his election campaign) of a confidential stolen database containing IAC member’s email IDs and mobile phone numbers.

IAC has called upon AAP to report the matter to the police under stringent provisions of the Information Technology Act. The database containing about 13.4 million records was last with an ex-IITian associate of some persons previously impersonating as India Against Corruption office bearers in Mumbai.

Wikipedia India Education Program

Aam Aadmi Party kids enjoy Wikipedia at WIEP 2013

Did Aam Aadmi Party schoolkids also enjoy ‘wikiporn’ at WIEP 2013 ?^[1]

View of WIEP Pilot 2.0’s school children authors

Wikipedia India Education Program (“WIEP”) was an ambitious, but failed effort, by the Wikimedia Foundation in 2011 to induct over 1,000 inexpert college students from India as editors of their English language encyclopedia Wikipedia.^[2]

The project was revived on 26 January 2013, (this time using sub-teen school children to address the main conclusion of the first pilot that Wikipedia “was not catching them early enough“) but ran into fresh controversies emanating from content disputes on Wikipedia’s fabricated India Against Corruption article and a very public spat with IAC’s top brass over “off-wiki threats in real life”, “child pornography allegations” and “its unfortunate that Wikipedia does not enforce a strict no-anonymity policy, to prevent biased and paid articles by its editors.”.^[3][4]

On 20 October 2014 an IAC email to WMF asked “for discussing the issue of Indian school children editing at Wikipedia and being provided computers on which high-definition pornography from Wikimedia Commons was accessible as part of the program.“^[1]

Contents  [hide]  1 History 2 Controversies 2.1 2011 2.2 2012 2.3 2013 2.3.1 Relaunch of WIEP 2.4 2014 3 Footnotes 4 References

History

The WMF India Education Program was the expression of the Wikimedia Foundation’s stated strategic goals of outreach and expansion into the Global South in 2011. It was pushed through by the controversial new WMF Trustee from India Bishakha Datta to increase her power base in WMF^[5] over the bitter objections of the “community” and other Trustees.

The two main colleges arm twisted into supporting the WIEP were Symbiosis School of Economics and Pune College of Engineering with 250 and 500 students respectively compelled to join the program as part of fulfilling their academic requirements.^[6][7]

Bishakha Datta chose the Indian city of Pune for her pet initiative due to its notoriety as a stronghold for India’s communal right-wing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS organisation.

Controversies

A young instructor explaining how Wikipedia is edited

2011

From reports in the Wikipedia e-magazine “Signpost” it emerges :

• The 2011 pilot project quickly ran into difficulty, however, when it emerged that a significant proportion of the articles submitted by students in the program failed to show an adequate knowledge of basic editing skills and did not respect Wikipedia’s copyright and plagiarism policies.

• Many students seemed manifestly unfamiliar with rudimentary wiki syntax and fundamental competencies such as sandbox creation and responding to talk page messages, and many appeared to lack the English language skills requisite for productive interaction.

• The resulting cleanup efforts, including a contributor copyright investigation (CCI), generated much dissatisfaction and questioning of the preparations and management on the Wikimedia Foundation’s end.

On September 10 2011, the leading Indian Newspaper “The Times of India” leaked that students were being pushed to violate copyright by Wikipedia’s scheme known as “Leaderboard” which ranked students on the basis of bytes uploaded to Wikipedia and encouraged extensive use of PRIMARY SOURCES.^[8]

IRC office hours with the IEP team were held on October 12 and October 21 2011. The copyright violations continued unabated however, and some editors went so far as to question why the community was tolerating such an initiative, even suggesting the program should be brought before the Arbitration Committee prior to any future activity.

On October 18 2011, in the light of the continuing onslaught of copyright violations, WP arbitrator emeritus Wizardman called for the project to be unilaterally shut down, citing it as a net negative for the encyclopaedia.

In the ensuing discussion, WP Kudpung, who had been leading the cleanup efforts, highlighted two unwelcome impacts upon the Wikimedia movement he called “blatantly obvious” but which seemed “to have been totally disregarded” – that students would not be attracted to edit Wikipedia by being put through a stress-inducing deadline-tied program led by highly inexperienced ambassadors, and that the community’s administrators and new page patrollers had been demoralised by having been forced to deal with cleanup of problems not of its making.

After a further week of problems, WP Calliopejen1 proposed a wholesale removal of all unsourced text contributed for the project.

On November 3, following a meeting with the Director at Pune’s College of Engineering, one of the participating institutions, the consultant Nikita Tandon announced the decision to call for an immediate end to the students’ editing of Wikipedia, and for a one-month moratorium on student contributions while the backlog of copyright investigations continued.

On November 7, following several complaints under India’s recently passed cyber crime law Information Technology (Intermediary Guideline) Rules 2011, the entire repository of contravening edits were eventually transferred from WMF servers to C-DAC India at URL CDAC GIST WIKI hosted on Pune University servers for use by law enforcement agencies.

2012

The transfer process of the contravening Mediawiki database was finally completed around 12 October 2012.

2013

Relaunch of WIEP

School children in Aam Aadmi Party uniform

On 26 January 2013, the WIEP was relaunched at Pune, by Bishakha Datta with the organisational help of the local volunteers of a Hindu communal group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Aam Aadmi Party. Learning from the mistakes of Pilot 1, the WMF decided to focus on highly motivated school children aged between 11-12 years to write articles in the English Wikipedia. Children from the newly formed ‘Aam Aadmi Party’ were specially selected for training under this program. The instructors being from the RSS.

2014

WIEP v2.0 organiser Abhishek Suryawanshi with Anna Hazare

In August 2014 the entire CDAC GIST WIKI consisting of over 45,000 article’s abusively generated on the English language Wikipedia project was disabled on complaints filed by India Against Corruption for being infected by malware, for phishing and for defaming Indian deities such as Krishna, Shiva, Allah, Christ, Shirdi Sai Baba.^[9].

A group shunned by AAP, endorsed by founder member

Express News Service | New Delhi | Posted: August 6, 2014 3:47 am

---

A group, formed by AAP volunteers who had been “shunned” by the party, was endorsed by AAP founder member Shanti Bhushan and former AAP leader Shazia Ilmi on Tuesday.

In a video released by the group ‘AAP Volunteer Action Manch’ (AVAM), Bhushan says, “AVAM is a good organisation which had come emerged within the party so that volunteers’ grievances and demands could be taken up. This is very important…”

In June, a group of AAP volunteers who were dissatisfied with the party’s functioning had come together to form AVAM in order to air their concerns. The group was also backed by Ilmi, who had resigned from AAP alleging “lack of internal democracy”.

On Tuesday, Ilmi said, “Even though I am no longer associated with the party, I am supporting AVAM and so is Shanti Bhushan. They support the cause of inner-party democracy and this is a good cause. I have know many of them for a long time and was involved in several volunteer endeavours…”

Meanwhile, the AAP downplayed the development. Maintaining the party’s stand, AAP spokesperson Deepak Bajpai said, “The AAP does not endorse any such group. We do not know what kind of conversation Shantiji had with the volunteers, but at no point in the video has he alleged anything against the party.”

Earlier, the AAP had issued a statement distancing itself from the group. “AVAM has been launched by people who claim this to be the official channel for soliciting volunteer feedback and grievances. AAP would like to categorically state that it DOES NOT endorse this channel/organisation. This can be an attempt by politically motivated mindsets to create confusion and to acquire AAP volunteer data,” the statement read.

However, AVAM members claimed that they were in talks with senior AAP leaders and hoped they would openly support AVAM’s cause.

AAP volunteers forms AVAM, party patron extend support

PTI [ Updated 07 Aug 2014, 08:59:42 ]

---

New Delhi: As the Aam Aadmi Party attempts to regroup in Delhi after its Lok Sabha defeat, discontent within the organisation over the party functioning does not seem to stop raging.

A group of party volunteers had recently formed the AAP Volunteer Action Manch (AVAM), who claimed to be voicing opinion against several aspects including lack of “Swaraj” within the organisation.

But the party sources said Karan Singh, a senior party volunteer and who is spearheading the movement was recently sacked for “anti-party activities”.
Interestingly, Singh, a veteran party volunteer, was also tasked by party’s National Convener Arvind Kejriwal to coordinate with party volunteers after his release from Tihar in June.

“AVAM is an effort to bring together each and every volunteer who has actively and selflessly participated in this struggle for the change of system.

“It is intended to help establish a mechanism within AAP that takes forward this struggle in the right direction with renewed vigor.

And, the volunteers, like you, form the core of that mechanism,” AVAM website states.  The group isn’t happy with the way the party has taken criticism.

“It is unfortunate that the party has sacked Karan. We don’t understand why is the party thinking that we are going against them. We are doing nothing anti-party in nature and raising certain lacuna within the party, which has to be removed.

“It’s not that we are raising the issues now. They were already there and had to solved. But then after Delhi election, we formed the government and were busy and then came the Lok Sabha election.

We thought these issues had to be addressed irrespective of the Lok Sabha result,” party volunteer Saman Qurashi, party’s campaign in-charge of Ballimaran assembly seat and an active member of AVAM said.

“AVAM is very good. System and organisation which was made in the party so that the volunteer’s grievances could ventilated, its contact with the party workers remained intact and that is very important.

“AVAM is doing a good job and it should spread the good work in the country,” party patron and senior advocate Shanti Bhushan in a message posted on AVAM website.  “Every democratic party must receive criticism, feedback.

We have posted something related to this three weeks back which basically says that the party remains committed to receiving volunteers feedback.

“The party has launched Mission Vistar which is not merely about expanding the organisation, but creating channels for volunteers. In one respect AAP is different from other parties is that it is created by volunteers,” said senior party leader Yogendra Yadav.

Dear Legal Agent,
 
COMPLAINT for illegal content concerning minors, violation of child rights including breach of privacy rights and cyber defamation, and concerning on-line pornography.

I am the Intellectual Property Agent and authorized representative of M/s Intervacy Protection Services, contacting you regarding the invasive usage of online content which violates the privacy rights of members of their principals M/s AAP Volunteers Action Manch, B-11 South Ex Plaza II, Masjid Moth, New  Delhi 110049, India, also widely known as “AVAM” having websites : “www.avam.in” etc.

It has come to AVAM’s attention that minors, being Aam Aadmi Party (“AAP”) junior / “sub-teen” volunteers, invited to attend a Republic Day celebration on 26 January 2013 at Pune, India as part of their school curriculum, were deceptively made to sit through a multi-media program known as “Wikipedia India Education Program (2013)” or suchlike and later induced by “Wikimedia Ambassadors” there to open anonymous user accounts on Wikimedia Foundation Inc’s (WMF) computer servers without their parent’s knowledge or consent.

There are reports in circulation in public domain, including on WMF computer servers, to suggest that these junior AAP volunteers, as also other minors present at the venue, were granted access to high definition grossly obscene pornographic images and media hosted on WMF computer servers in USA under the website URL : http://commons.wikimedia.org and accessible from the .IN domain name http://live.wikimedia.in in various Indic languages.

It has also come to AVAM’s attention that very high definition digital photograph’s / images clearly identifying alleged AAP minor volunteers have been uploaded to WIMF’s servers in the public domain and are being attributed to WMF and circulated with captions like  “Aam Aadmi Party kids enjoy Wikipedia at WIEP 2013”, “Did Aam Aadmi Party schoolkids also enjoy ‘wikiporn’ at WIEP 2013 ?” etc. These captions emanate from emails to WMF publicly accessible on WMF servers pertaining to this program asking WMF

“for discussing the issue of Indian school children editing at Wikipedia and being provided computers on which high-definition pornography from Wikimedia Commons was accessible as part of the program.“

 Accordingly, my principals, and on behalf of all AAP volunteers, require that all content capable of breaching privacy and morals of Indian children / minors situated on WMF computer servers be immediately deleted or disabled. Some of these content / images as presently identified by us are listed below.
