(I am keeping the name as unknown voice since the name does not seem to be clear)
UV: Niira
NR: You called
NR: hello
UV: Yep
NR: you called, (name not clear)
UV: Yep
NR: What.
UV: Where are you
NR: At Home
UV: Having fun
NR: I have been on the phone since morning
UV: Why…
NR: You Know, I tell you one thing.I went through the judgement. You know there are things in the judgement that has. even If you Look at the scope of the judgement. It is only been written by a lawyer.
UV: HMMM
NR: It’s not written by a judge. You can tell that by from way it has been written.
Secondly there are things that have been said in the judgement For eg: In one of the points 308 which you would be critical in your argument.
UV: Like what?
NR: Like, In The board meeting. The minutes of the board meeting its said that the particular decision has been annulled.
UV: hmmmm
NR: The minutes says that it has been annulled. Right.
UV: hmmmm
NR: The minutes of the court says that but there was some errr.. tacit a understanding and wrongdoing to Anil Ambani.
UV: hmmm
NR: It’s subjective. (PAUSE)
The full minutes were never presented in the court. From either side how does they know. It’s not part of any submission.
uv: (Not clear)
NR: No. That is small. The Other thing is that I have been pushing in the media to the editors has been – court. They did this diversion of court. … Right. … How could that happen. Third part. They did it post the event.Right
UV: Hmmm
NR: Then happened Spectrum. How did spectrum happen. Restrospect. …………TDSAT. ….Sunil Mittal and everybody went to supreme court.
….Court-High Court. That apart went to Supreme Court
UV: Hmmm
NR: Then came gas. How can a natural asset of the country be decided by a judge who is deciding on an MoU between two brothers. who ever the brothers are. It doesnt matter. Either of the brothers have no right. So
UV: How are people reacting to that?
NR: All three natural resources.
UV: Hmmm
NR: Fourth point. Iron ore mines in Jharkhand.
UV: Hmmm
NR: He is asking for iron ore mine when he doesnt even have steel plant. He is asking for gas when he doesnt even have power plant.
UV: Hmmm
NR: What is his attempt. His attempt is: I Anil Ambani. I am trying to take all natural resources of the country for personal profit. Therefore natural resources cannot be decided by a government.I mean Cannot be decided by a department like Shinde or Raja. Cannot be decided by a state government in the case of iron ore and coal.
UV: Hmmm
NR: Spectrum cannot be decided by Mr Raja again. It cannot be decided by
regional parties.
UV: Hmmm
NR: It has to be decided through a one policy mechanism at the top which can happen only at the purview of the prime minister. It doesnt matter who it is. It doesnt matter if Mukesh Ambani. It doesnt matter if Tata.
UV: New argument.Is it? But how people responding to it?
NR: Very very positive.Every body agrees because
if you talk about Yeddiyurappa in Karnataka with Bellary. You TALK about Madhu Koda asking 150 crores per mine. Who the. Everyone today knows the mining scam.Who doesnt know that. Right. It is the natural resource of the country. Spectrum. They are in court. It has been a dispute for last six years.
UV: Come. We will do a half an hour of this tomorrow.
NR: It’s a very valid fact.
UV: hAAN.
NR: It cannot be…
UV: inaudible
