Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (22 May 2012)

Good Evening Speakasians,

We have been busy collating the Signatures from all over the country and finalizing the petition to be submitted to various government agencies placing before them our CHARTER of DEMANDS.

Hope fully we should be able to do the same by this week end, we are running behind schedule as the data has not come in from all the cities and also due to the fact that Adv. Abdi Sahab is not in town and his office is only partially operational.

It is important that this petition is placed before the various authorities so that our demands are met most importantly regarding an early restart of business activities by SAOL and for further follow up with the concerned ministries to ensure that our views are heard and if possible to be incorporated in the upcoming Regulatory Authority.

It is quite evident and clear that it is this family of Speakasians who have suffered the most in the absence of this regulatory mechanism and as such it would be only quite normal to ensure that the voice of the Speakasians be heard while framing of the regulatory mechanism.

AISPA is looking at the possibility of putting up our charter of demands with the Petition on aispa.co.in for online signature on the petition this should see us garner a sizeable number of support for the petition to make the authorities take note of the number of people supporting the demands.

Speak Asia Online Pte. Ltd; has been creating all sorts of history right from the time it started its operation in India and continues to do so even in its fight back to restart its operation in India.

In the beginning nobody could understand the Speakasian business model and even all those people who were associated with the company looked at the magical phenomenon with doubt.

The aspersions cast on the company continued till some sections of the Media without actually understanding the Business model mischievously started a vociferous campaign against the company only to harm the good will of the company and to halt the company’s march to greater heights.

History has been witness to how any change has been strongly opposed, the more innovative the idea the stronger the opposition.

Although change is the only constant, any change is mostly opposed.

People who resist new ideas are the scourge of society. These people sit in arbitration of opportunity and they do not allow innovations to thrive.

This is the primary difference between developed and under developed societies.

When the company has indicated that they are looking at the possibility of making a comeback irrespective of the court cases, based on various positive court orders, senior Panelists who have experienced the company’s business ethics believe the company’s statements but the panelists who have not experienced the working of the company fully, start asking questions and raising doubts.

We need to look at the current situation like this: The Company is fighting a fierce legal battle on various forums, at the same time has also indicated to us that it is seeking legal advice to find ways and means for an early Business restart through other parallel forums.

Because the other parallel movement by the company is covered under a veil of secrecy and more importantly because the court cases are visible we tend to focus more on the court cases and for this reason it seems it is difficult for the Panelists to remove their focus completely from the court cases, so the best alternate would be to keep yourself updated about the court cases but wait patiently for an update from the company for an early restart.

I know it is exasperating and excruciatingly painful to wait any longer for the restart of business operations, the patience and resolve of most of the Panelists and consumers is running thin, this is understandable as the period of one year has been very long.

The Panelists and Consumers are in fact angry at the delay by the judiciary and the system infested with red tape and this anger is taken out in the form of frustration.

But this is how the system in our country works, time has less or no value in our bureaucracy.

The Judicial system is one of the best in the world but then it has its own limitations and procedures.

We have borne the most difficult part of the journey and we need to simply take the last deep breath and endure the final lap towards the finish line when we all will collectively lift the cup of joy.

One question that comes to my mind is that while the company was functioning smoothly no one ever doubted or asked who was scripting the POP UP’s and what was the designation of the person giving out the POP UP communication suddenly when the company is facing rough weather we start questioning each and every move and intent of the company allow me to bring forth some ridiculous questions being asked by some panelists:

· What is the authenticity of the Company Blog Spot?

· What is the designation of the person or team giving us the updates on the Blog Spot?

· Why has the company indicated through the update dated 26th/27th that they are on the verge of making an early comeback?

· How can the company restart its business operations without the court cases getting over first?

What could be more bizarre then casting doubt on the only official company communication this can only be the handiwork of the enemy or a very sick mind if he indeed is a Panelist of the Company?

If the company gives an indication about its intention of an early restart, then be rest assured that they know what they are saying, let us not forget that the company is being advised by the best of the best legal brains in the country.

Morya…. Bhai Morya
