PMO TAPES : देश बिक रहा है…खरीदने वाला चाहिए!
भारत गणराज्य बिक रहा है…. ऐसी बात आपत्तिजनक ही नहीं है… ऐसा तो कोई सपने में भी नहीं सोच सकता है. लेकिन जो इस देश में फैसले लेते हैं, जो इस देश की पूँजी सम्भालते हैं और जो इस देश के कर्णधार हैं, वो वाकई गणराज्य बेचने पर आमादा हैं.
टेलीकॉम मंत्री को भी नहीं बख्शा टेलीकॉम कपंनियों ने
कोई आरोप लगाए तो आरोप झूठे भी हो सकते हैं. लेकिन अगर देश का सबसे अमीर व्यक्ति देश की सबसे बड़ी अदालत के जज को खरीदने की बात खुद कर रहा हो तो आप क्या कहेंगे? अगर देश का संचार मंत्री और उसका OSD खुद संचार के सारे तंत्र को नीलाम कर रहा हो और सारी बातें फ़ोन पर रिकॉर्ड हो रही हों तो इस साक्ष्य को लेकर आप क्या कहेंगे ?
हद तो ये कि प्रमोद महाजन तब टेलीकॉम मंत्री थे और उनके टेलीफोन की हर काल देश की ही एक टेलीकॉम कम्पनी रिकॉर्ड कर रही थी. इस तरह आईएस अधिकारी एन के सिंह तब पीएमओ के सबसे ताकतवर नौकरशाह थे लेकिन टेलीकॉम कम्पनी एस्सार ने पीएमओ में भी सेंध लगा दी थी. एस्सार ने प्रमोद महाजन के अलावा जसवंत सिंह, पियूष गोयल, मुलायम सिंह यादव, सुरेश प्रभु, प्रफुल पटेल, राम नायक, अमर सिंह जैसे वरिष्ठ नेताओं के फोन गैर कानूनी तरीके से टैप किये. यही नहीं, अमिताभ बच्चन और सुब्रत रॉय के अलावा मुकेश अम्बानी और अनिल अम्बानी जैसी शख्सियत की गोपनीय बातें भी रिकॉर्ड की गई.
सुप्रीम कोर्ट के जज से लेकर सांसद तक सब बिकाऊ हैं
अहम लोगों की फोन पर बातचीत भले ही गैर कानूनी तरीके से रिकॉर्ड की गई लेकिन इन बातों से ये ज़ाहिर होता है कि कैसे उद्योगपति और नेता मिलकर देश खरीद रहे थे. नियमों को ताक पर रखकर अरबों रुपये के मोबाइल सर्विस लाइसेंस बेचे जा रहे थे. अरबों रुपये के गैस ब्लॉक फोन पर नीलम हो रहे थे. शेयर घोटाले पर बनी संसदीय समिति से खुले आम डील हो रही थी. मंत्रियों के ट्रांसफर रोकने के लिए सांसदों को पैसे देकर पीएम पर दबाव बनाया जा रहा था. लोन माफ़ करने के लिए सरकारी बैंकों के अध्यक्ष ब्लैकमेल हो रहे थे और बिकने वाले लोगों में सुप्रीम कोर्ट के जज भी थे. गुनाहों की फेहरिस्त बहुत लम्बी है. पढ़ते पढ़ते आप ऊब जायेंगे. आपको सिस्टम से नफरत हो जाएगी. मैं भी आपको उबाने के लिए आपसे माफ़ी चाहता हूँ .

नीचे आप पीएमओ को लिखी सुप्रीम कोर्ट के वकील सुरेन उप्पल की उस चिट्ठी के वो अंश पढ़ सकते हैं जिसमें फोन पर हुई अहम खुलासों का ब्यौरा दिया गया है.
