Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (20 Dec. 2011)

Good Evening Speakasians,

The heart wants to start celebrating but the mind advices to show some restraint till the final verdict is announced by the Hon. Supreme Court.

Hon’ble Mr. Justice R.C. Lahoti ji has concluded his mediation process yesterday i.e. 19^th December, 2011.

It is now clear that all the respondents have recorded their presence before the Hon. Mediator including the elusive EOW.

Hon’ble Mr. Justice Lahoti ji will soon file his report before the Hon. Supreme Court and the matter should come up for hearing before the Supreme Court in early January, 2012.

I only wish to draw the attention of all the Speakasians that although the matter is moving positively in our favour the relief as is being spread on various forums is absolutely false and baseless.

The WEBSITE AND PAYMENTS are not going to start before 28^th December, 2011 etc. like is being reported on various forums. All this will surely happen but only after the matter has been heard and finally ordered by the Hon. Supreme Court.

It is now only a matter of time that we all will taste sweet victory very very soon.

"If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes really good, then you did it" …Paul Bryant

Once again I wish to urge all my Speakasian family members continue to be united, remain absolutely positive, have complete unflinching faith in SAOL.

We are bound to win and we will definitely win …Tarak Bajpai.

Jai Speakasia,

Jai Speakasia,

Jai Speakasia.

Proud to be Speakasian… actually very proud

Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (19 Dec. 2011)

Good Morning Speakasians,

It’s been a while since I have been able to post my updates mainly because I have been having a series of meetings and co coordinating various activities all related to our battle for survival.

Coming straight to the point of updating my Speakasian Family as to the current legal position in the various matters, I wish to summarize as follows:

1. The AISPA Writ filed in the Mumbai High Court CRWP/3611/2011 was heard on 9^th December and later on 14^th December, on both the occasions after 5pm only because the court took cognizance of the importance of the matter.

2. In the last hearing the EOW objected to AISPA being the party on the ground that AISPA was not named in the FIR. EOW also wanted the WRIT to be dismissed on the grounds that the complainant (Navneet Khosla) was not a party respondent.

3. The Hon. High Court is seized of the matter and without taking the option of dismissing the WRIT, sensing the importance of the matter ordered AISPA to suitably amend the petition.

4. The matter is now posted for hearing on the 22^nd December, 2011. The WRIT has been amended and is being amended further under the advice of the Hon. High Court.

5. I wish to remind all the Speakasians that this WRIT has been filed against the EOW and its atrocities in the SAOL matter.

6. Mr. Melwyn Crasto’s bail was rejected by the Learned Magistrate. The bail application is now filed in the Hon’ble Session’s court and will come up for hearing on 30th December, 2011. This is one delay which is excruciatingly painful

7. Mr. Ashish Dandekar was sent to Judicial Custody by the learned Magistrate. His bail application was filed and was heard on 17^th December, 2011. The matter is now posted for orders on 20^th December, 2011.

8. SLP 7509 and 7510 of 2011 in the Hon. Supreme Court, relating to quashing of FIR in Andhra Pradesh, could not be heard as the notices could not be served due to some administrative issues. The SLP’s will now be heard sometime in last week January or first week of February 2012.

9. The above SLP’s are filed against the CB CID AP and the NGO “Corporate Fraud Watch”.

10. Hon. Mr. Justice Lahoti ji Mediation meet will be heard sooner than we all expect. The Progress in this mediation meet is more than positive in our favour. The swift pace of the progress is due to the proactive manner in which both SAOL and HVP have represented themselves before the Hon. Mediator.

11. We all know that RBI and CBDT (IT Dept) have both already come before the Mediator. I am sure, as per the submissions of the EOW before the Mumbai High Court in the last hearing on the 14^th December, 2011, the EOW will surely come before the Mediator in the third Mediation meeting.

I wish to inform the entire Speakasian family that the whole process is moving in the positive direction albeit a little slow and that is what is testing the patience of this entire wonderful family. As per the opinion of the legal team the matter is positively poised in our favour and has moved thus far in a way far better than our expectations and we can clearly see the resultant outcome in our favour.

There have been various discussions and viewpoints aired by various panelists on some steps taken on the advice of the legal team to which I only wish to comment that while you are being treated by doctors for some ailment you simply entrust your faith in the hands of the doctor, you do not start educating yourself in medical science. With the advent of the Google Search one may do a superficial study on the ailment to know some details but cannot doubt the doctor on his line of treatment.

Similarly neither I nor anybody else who is not a lawyer or advocate is qualified to express our opinion in the matter. I for one have decided to follow the advice of our legal team without doubting their ability or question their intention as I am aware that we are being represented by the best of the best in this field.

The only saving grace for us, in this atrocious fight against the corrupt and illogical system, has been our unquestionable and unflinching unity. We will not allow this unity to be splintered away at whatever cost. Our vision and goal is absolutely clear we will not drift away. We are all duty bound to remain united and fight this battle for the final victory of SAOL and indeed for all Speakasians.

“First they ignore you (SAOL Competitors), then they laugh at you (Star News), then they fight you (Authorities), then you win (SAOL)”. …Sincere apologies to the great Mahatma Gandhi

At the end of the journey when everybody is tired and fighting fatigue, I know it is difficult to keep your thoughts in the right perspective and maintain some sort of sanity but then this is what tough people like us Speakasians are made off.

Hold your breath, keep united fight off negativity and visualize positivity.

Have Patience, Have faith and trust your company.

Jai Speakasia,

Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (13 Dec. 2011)

Good Evening Speakasians,

The entire family of 12.5 lakh Speakasian’s want to know what happened yesterday i.e. on 12^th December, 2011 before the Hon’ble justice Lahoti ji.

Friends, family members we need to realize that this mediation process before the Hon’ble Lahoti ji is a closed door mediation process. By the word Closed Door I am sure that all of you understand that it means that Justice Lahoti ji wants that the entire process to remain under wraps and a complete secret this secrecy is to our combined benefit and will only help us in the long run.

I have learnt through informed sources that Hon’ble Mr. Justice Lahoti ji is very disturbed and perturbed at the violation of his privacy. Out of sheer over enthusiasm many panelists have been calling him and disturbing his privacy.

It will not be out of place to inform all of you that by making unsolicited phone calls, not only are we irritating an eminent person, we are also making ourselves liable to legal action for invasion of privacy.

We all need to understand that Justice Lahoti ji is an eminent personality having been the 35^th Chief Justice of India and we need to show some respect to his eminence.

I wish to once again request all my Speakasian brethren that we are lucky that our mediation is in the safe hands of a person like Justice Lahoti ji who is known, not only to be proactive but an absolutely just and highly knowledgeable and learned personality, we could not have a better mediator.

By trespassing into his privacy, we risk losing the favor of someone who holds our future in judgment. Let us not show ourselves in low respect before this eminent personality.

I wish to summarize the mediation process, till now as being positive and in our favour. If at all the matter goes against us from now on it will be only if we Speakasians do not know how to control our emotions.

Yesterday was an important day as is tomorrow. The war continues, Battles are won or lost on a daily and regular basis, our focus and aim remains on winning the final war. The final victory is when the entire business restarts.

I will not rejoice victory of a battle neither will I rue a loss, my ultimate goal is the final victory of the war.

Till we are not able to find peace and safety of each and every Speakasians personal liberty and the ultimate right to choose their, own way, to livelihood we at AISPA will not rest in peace.

Till any Speakasian remains in custody, or in fear of his personal liberty, our fight is not over. Till the Business does not restart our war is not over.

Have Patience, Have Faith, Trust your Company.

Jai Speakasia,

Jai Speakasia,

Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (10 Dec. 2011)

Good Morning Speakasians,

It has been a very difficult 16 days since our President Mr. Melwyn Crasto was picked up in the morning of 24^th November, 2011 and illegally arrested by the EOW Mumbai. Melwyn continues to languish in jail, paying the price, for daring to give a voice to all us Speakasians.

I have been living under constant threat and fear of my own personal liberty for these last 16 days.

Yesterday i.e. Friday 9^th December, 2011 was the day when we thought Melwyn would finally go home, but alas it was not to be, the Learned Magistrate has posted the matter to Monday the 12^th December, 2011 for orders. Mr. Ashish Dandekar was, as expected, further remanded to police custody till 15^th December, 2011.

In The Mumbai High Court three matters were listed as follows:

1. SAOL v/s State of Maharashtra CRWP 3210/2011 for quashing of the Raigad FIR.

2. SAOL v/s State of Maharashtra CRWP 3211/2011 for quashing of the Thane FIR.

3. AISPA v/s State of Maharashtra CRWP 3611/2011 against the atrocities of EOW.

The daily board at the High Court was postponed to Monday. On the submission of our senior counsel Adv. Shrikant Bhat and showing respect to his seniority, the Hon. Court agreed to hear the AISPA matter at the end of the board. The Matter was finally heard after 5.00 pm. No small achievement this.

During the hearing it was felt that for better and larger protection of all the panelists, some amendments were required and as such the matter has been adjourned to Wednesday 14^th December, 2011.

We all know of the upcoming Mediation meeting before the Hon’ble Mr. Justice Lahoti ji. I wish to once again draw your collective attention that it is the desire of the learned Lahoti ji that the entire matter be not published and made public.

This mediation process is a closed door mediation process therefore I urge my Speakasian family not to be too inquisitive about the regular updates on this meeting.

We all should be more interested in the final outcome, which I am sure will be in our favour, ushering in our collective victory.

Let me once again remind all my family members that AISPA has been relentlessly working for the common good of the Panelists in general. All actions and movements undertaken for the larger interest of the panelist have been decided after thorough discussion within the legal team. This is team work at its best and no decision, yes I repeat, no decision is taken individually.

I once again bring to your attention that AISPA is duty bound to take all such steps that will benefit the larger interest of the Speakasian family. AISPA is not going to be stopped in their track either by the authorities or any disgruntled and misinformed group within the family.

There are various groups, sub groups and individuals who have been overtly and covertly working to strengthen this fight of Speakasians for the ultimate victory of SAOL. I thank all of them.

All of them know that their suggestions and advice have always been incorporated and factored into the decision making process.

AISPA does not back out neither does it bow down before illogical and unsubstantiated demands of anybody who does not see the bigger picture and who does not talk of the larger interest of all Speakasians.

“He who cannot reason is a fool. He who will not reason is a bigot. He who dares not is a slave.”
….W. Drummond

I live in optimism, I dream every day of a better tomorrow for my Speakasian family.

I have dedicated my present for the better future of my family and for the entire Speakasian Family.

I have no time to delve in the past. That is the luxury I cannot afford.

I once again call upon you to remain patient, have faith, and trust the company.

Jai Speakasia,

Jai Speakasia,

Jai Speakasia…..

Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (29 Nov. 2011)

Good Evening Speakasians,

The last couple of days have been very hectic and I have been putting in long hours trying to co ordinate many activities like the Hon. Lahoti ji Sitting, The Writ filed by AISPA, Mr. Melwyn Crasto’s release and his bail matter coming up on 2^nd December, 2011 and many other matters which I cannot revel at this moment.

My update today will be very short and concise and will primarily address the following matter:

* The first meeting of the Hon. Mediators meeting yesterday presided by Hon. Mr. Justice R. C. Lahoti ji.

The Meeting held yesterday at Delhi (Noida) was extremely positive and fruitful for us Speakasians. What I understand is that the Hon. Mr. Justice Lahoti ji was seized of the entire matter. We all know that Hon. Justice Lahoti ji is known to be meticulously perfect and our matter is in safe hands of a retired chief justice of India.

I am sure that when a matter is handled by eminent personality like the Ex Chief Justice of India the parties are assured that the matter will be settled in the most appropriate manner in accordance with legal, social and commercial Jurisprudence. Speakasians there cannot be a fitter or better forum then the present moderator Hon. Mr. Justice R. C. Lahoti to sit in arbitration in our matter.

What I wish to bring to your collective attention is that now that the matter is before a Hon. Mediator we need to understand that every forum has to follow a certain protocol and decorum befitting that particular forum. When the matter is under arbitration especially before such eminent personality like Hon. Lahoti ji we must follow protocol to the ‘T’.

Yesterday the meeting was attended by the counsel for the petitioners, the company (SAOL) and the RBI. Hon. Justice Lahoti ji has issued notices to all parties to remain present before him on the next meeting. The final date and venues of the next date will be announced by the Hon. Mediator Mr. Justice Lahoti ji shortly.

I urge and request my family, my fellow Speakasians, let us maintain our composure and dignity and present ourselves as thorough professional associates of a truly international business house and conduct ourselves as a worthy business professional.

I understand that it will be prudent on our part not to expect or give minute by minute updates on this sensitive matter while it is active and alive in this mediation process. I for one will not be able to give daily updates in this matter as I am duty bound to see that every movement in the Speakasian matter be conducted properly for eventual victory for all of us.

That the Speakasia model is way ahead of its time is the only crime of this revolutionary business model and this quote comes to my mind instantaneously:

“Conflict lies at the core of innovation.”…Emanuel R. Piore

Have faith, Have Patience, Trust your Company.

Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (19 Nov. 2011)

Good Morning Speakasians,

Uff!! What a frantic three days it has been. Even without any activity happening, it has sort of been very tiring, anxiety filled days.

I always keep on telling everybody that people should always keep their minds open and learn from everyday experiences and I for sure have learnt a lot in these three days, I will share my learning’s below.

First and foremost let me attempt to explain the Hon. Supreme Court’s Order dated 14^th November, 2011.

Allow me to quote the opening lines of the Hon. Supreme Court’s order as follows

“We have heard the learned counsel for the parties. In our considered view, it is a fit case where a serious attempt should be made for an amicable settlement of the dispute between the parties through the intervention of a learned mediator”.

I draw the collective attention of all the panelists to the above and I infer as follows:

1. The Hon. Supreme Court feels that the SAOL matter is a dispute between the various parties.

2. The parties in the WRIT are:
a) The Panelists
b) Speakasian Online Pte. Ltd
c) Haren Venture publications
d) RBI
e) EOW
f) IT Dept.

3. Please note the Hon. Supreme Court has appointed a mediator and the Hon. Court feels that there is a need to seriously attempt for an amicable settlement. Important to note here is that the Hon Supreme Court has not considered this matter to be investigated in any way and simply feels that the dispute needs to be settled. In my opinion this changes the entire texture of the SAOL matter.

4. The Hon. Supreme Court was pleased to appoint a Hon. Mr. Justice R. C. Lahoti as the mediator in this case and was pleased to direct the parties to appear before the Hon. Mediator on 21^st November, 2011.

Please understand friends that this date was fixed by the Supreme Court and is subject to confirmation of the Hon. Mr. Justice Lahoti ji. As per the latest information the confirmation has not been received and in all probabilities the first sitting will not be on the 21^st November, 2011. I will inform all the panelists of the date as soon as it is fixed.

The Mumbai High Court PIL of AISPA was heard on 16^th November, 2011. The company SAOL informed the Hon. High Court of the Supreme Court order. The learned Bench then asked the counsel for AISPA, why don’t you go before the Hon. Mediator now that the Supreme Court has appointed the mediator in your matter and as such the counsel agreed to withdraw the matter herein below is the order passed by the Mumbai High Court

“Allowed to withdraw at the request of the learned counsel for the petitioners, in view of the order dated 14.11.2011 passed by the Supreme Court in Writ Petition (Civil) No.383 of 2011”.

It is in our collective advantage that the entire matter be heard by a single authority under one jurisdiction and this appointment of the mediator under orders of the Hon. Supreme Court is that single platform which will give us a quick relief.

The Criminal PIL is still pending in the Hon. Mumbai High court and is now listed for hearing on the 23^rd November, 2011. The Hon. Mumbai High Court was of the opinion that In view of the Supreme Court order nothing survives in the matter and this criminal PIL should also be withdrawn. The advocate wanted to seek instructions from the petitioner and the matter is now adjourned for one week.

I mentioned in my Video update, that I am amazed by the insight of some very cunning people and admire their vision to sense opportunity to make big money at whatever cost.

The matter has only turned corners with the Supreme Court order and these opportunists have sensed that now the Speakasia juggernaut is all set to take off or rather all set to take a rocket like vertical takeoff and you suddenly see these cunning people come out of hibernation and want to take centre stage.

I have received many phone calls and emails requesting me to let them join the committee. Some people wanted me to look at the possibility of being made an office bearer, I am sure these people want to become the president of AISPA. Gentleman we are very happy with our present President Mr. Melwyn Crasto, who bravely stood up against all odds in support and favour of the panelists when the going was tough. I remember when we were putting together the committee Melvyn and myself must have called up at least 50 leaders in Mumbai and all over the country who refused to expose themselves to the gaze of the authorities and wanted to remain safely in the background.

Since the beginning I have been advised by our counsel Mr. Ahmad Abdi sahib not to give updates or discuss the matter on the phone with panelists, he always used to tell me that people may not understand the actual essence of what you say and may spread misinformation which will cause confusion. His words have come true and I point out to my communication with one Mr. Prerak Singh. What I told him and what he understood and what he has written on the open forum is absolutely misrepresented, I do not wish to give any explanation but simply say that starting with immediate effect, I will not discuss the matter with anybody over the phone. I request the Panelists in general please do not waste your valuable time and money in calling me as I am not going to be discussing the SAOL matter on phone.

Once again I reiterate that this appointment of Hon. Mr. Justice R.C. Lahoti ji is a huge step in our favour this will see that all matters related to Speakasia will be heard and mediated on one single platform and suitably settled and reported to the Hon. Supreme Court for further disposal.

Last but not the least I wish to draw the attention of all the panelists that there is no need to appoint any advocate by anybody in this matter let me explain why:

The payments, whenever they start, either arising out of the EXIT OPTION or normal CASH REQUEST will be affected directly in the panelist’s bank account by electronic transfer like it was being done earlier. The Mediation by Hon. Mr. Justice Lahoti ji is for the entire Speakasia matter and not only for a handful of Panelists. The supreme Court will pass a suitable order as they deem fit after due consideration for the entire 20 lakh panelists and not for a select group of panelists and as such there is no requirement what so ever to engage any advocate or make any individual application to the mediator Hon. Mr. Justice Lahoti ji or to the Supreme Court.

I once again urge the Panelists in general do not get confused by the process. In the final analysis the company will surely come out victorious and soon the entire business activity will normalize and these past six months will be history and we will overcome this and forget it is as a bad nightmare.

Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (15 Nov. 2011)

Good Morning Speakasians,

Yesterday after the Supreme Court hearing I had given two video updates (Hindi and English) through our dedicated Speakasian Mr. Aman Azad which is uploaded on this website aispa.co.in in the latest video section at the bottom.

Yesterday was a major mile stone day for us Speakasians, Yesterday saw the ball starting to roll in our favour and this is the beginning of return to normalization of Speakasia business activity and payments.

The Hon. Supreme Court was pleased to announce the formation of a single man committee of the retired 35^th Chief Justice Honorable Shri R. C. Lahoti. The first sitting of this committee will be held on 21^st November, 2011 when the details of the committee, its modalities and scope, and such administrative details will be worked out including details of Press announcement etc.

This formation of the Committee is a huge positive in favour of all Speakasians.

The non appearance of all the agencies is another positive in favour of the company. It is my personal opinion that the authorities viz the Union Of India thru the Finance Ministry, RBI, EOW, and the IT dept (CTBT) have not filed any reply or submitted any documents in the matter not because they do not want to but I am sure that they are unable to do so as they have no case against SAOL. They have no charge which they can press and sustain in trial.

This may of course delay the matter for a short time, but in the final analysis like Shri Tarak Bajpaiji Says “We are bound to win and we will definitely win”.

We have all heard of the old saying “gaon basa nahi aur lootere pehele hi aa gaye”. I was surprised at the cunningness of a group of people who mysteriously surfaced claiming to be representing a section of Speakasians. What was funny about the lot was how they were inconsistent in their story; allow me to explain the video. By the way pertinent to note here is that as per our advocate the video of these advocates as posted in the aneeshsharma-lawyer.blogspot.com is in gross violation of the advocates act as it seems that advocates are not supposed to solicit business as these advocates have done in the video.

We have been advised to bring this gross violation to the attention of appropriate forum.

The supposedly senior partner (Jitendra Mohan Sharma) in this group starts by saying that they are here to protect the rights of “first time investors”, and then he erroneously claims that the Writ Petition No 383/2011 in which this group has intervened on behalf of some Speakasians is a Public Interest Litigation (PIL). This, gentleman, is wrong as this is not a PIL but is a Writ Petition.

Then the other advocate (Aneesh Sharma), goes on to say that they are here to protect the last joinees of Speakasia panelists who have joined between February 2011 and May 2011.

He then introduces his business plan and informs us that the panelists who wish to approach this misinformed group to represent us before the Supreme Court or the Committee, and this group will most happily represent us for a small fee which some one now tells me is ranging between 25% to 40% of the claim amount. No way a small fee.

This second advocate says that the over 130 crores seized under the orders of CID Hyderabad is public money. How may I ask this gentleman does he classify this money which belongs to the franchisee and some panelists as public money? Without any logic, without application of mind, this gentleman differentiates this group of last joinees as general public, trying to divide the speakasian family in general public and not so general public.

He goes on to say that the last joinees who have not received any refunds [sic] from the company have first right on the public money which is seized. Sir, there are no refunds here, the money that the panelists receive from the company as part of the earnings are because of partaking in the marketing activities of the company and in no way constitute to be refund.

He does not understand that if his group of last joinees, wish to be paid off first then he ought to advice his client’s the last joinees to opt for the EXIT OPTION. If his clients do not wish to take the EXIT OPTION then they will be paid as per the existing norms of the company.

The third gent (Ajit Sharma) in this troika matter of factly assumed that the constitution of the committee will be multi representative and will consist of many more representatives etc. etc. Why and how he reaches this conclusion nobody knows, surely the Supreme Court has not ordered it that way. I am sure Justice Hon. Lahoti has not shared his thoughts with him; this is nothing else but a classical case of jumping the gun and shooting from the hip.

The Supreme Court order is abundantly clear that The Hon. Justice Shri R. C. Lahoti is requested to explore the possibility of an amicable settlement between the parties and submit a report to this Court after the mediation proceedings are concluded. There is no scope for any additional representatives on this committee, this is an appointment of a mediator and this mediator will not look into the merits of the case. The mediator will only look at the probabilities for seeking an amicable settlement between the parties i.e. the panelists, SAOL and the Govt. agencies. This matter will be for all the Speakasians and not only for the 115 odd panelists who have originally filed the WRIT.

There is no requirement for all panelists to get impleaded in the matter individually; it is not the case that the mediator (Hon. Justice Mr. R.C. Lahoti ji) or the Supreme Court will be handling the refunds on an individual basis. In the final analysis all the payouts will be affected as earlier, directly into the accounts of all panelists.

This, motley group, of confused, ill informed overzealous advocates have in their enthusiasm forgotten that they are dealing with a family of proud empowered consumers and not some gullible lot of nitwits. The payouts will happen directly from SAOL to our accounts electronically like they were being done before, then why do we need to approach the committee or the Supreme Court independently for settlement of any claim.

We are all aware that a group going by the name United Speakasia surfaced sometime back asking Speakasians to give their details. But their United Speakasia blog or their communication never clarified who was the person, behind this movement. They claim in one of the Blog posts that their master mind whom they call “Our Sir”, "United Speak Asia Group Mind" knows things that 80% of us poor dumb witted Speakasians do not know. What, may I ask this holier than thou ‘Sir’ the ‘group mind’, know that we do not know. Please you owe it to us, and I call upon you to please explain and inform us about what you know that we do not know.

The surfacing of this new advocate (Aneesh Sharma) with a brand new facebook profile and a brand new blog spot seems a well strategized move. Someone has got themselves in for the big kill, someone who has entered the fray to make big money. Nobody minds an ambitious person, what worries us is the design of someone to make money at the expense of others, and by creating confusion amongst Speakasians.

The advocate while creating his facebook profile posted a photograph showing that he practices at the Dawarka Court and then over night when he creates his blog spot he designates himself as Supreme Court Lawyer, funny isn’t it.

It would not be out of place to remind everybody that AISPA has been formed to protect the interest of all panelists and AISPA is duty bound to protect its constituents i.e. the panelists from such negative groups who have only their personal interest at heart and do not care about the panelist or the company. Such misinformed people will only create problems like explained earlier and they will only make matters more complicated.

Too much space and matter has been wasted over trivia, some issues should be simply ignored, but then for larger good and as a service to the speakasian family it was important to once and for all expose the true face of this group.

Like I said in my video yesterday once the business activity is normalized you will witness corporate history being rewritten. The Speakasia juggernaut is going to be fiercely huge and absolutely unstoppable. Being led by our charismatic leader, our own Babar sher Shri Tarak Bajpaiji, our juggernaut will destroy all our enemies with its massiveness.

Mark my words fellow Speakasians we are going to be part of a revolution and SAOL is going to be the fastest growing corporate in the history of business in India. SAOL will rock and we will rock along with SAOL.

We all Speakasians look up at Mr. Tarak Bajpaiji as our true leader because he has changed the way we conduct ourselves and it is said:

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." --John Quincy Adams

Update from Corporate Marketing Team (10 Nov. 2011)

Dear SpeakAsians,

Over the last two days our website has all of a sudden become active and is allowing the SpeakAsians to log in and view the website. We would like to state that the website access passwords and database access was taken over by the Economic offences wing of the Mumbai Police. This was obtained from the technical team of the company that used to maintain the website. This action was executed immediately after the arrests of the company's COO and others. Since then SAOL has no access to the website speakasiaonline.com.

Furthermore, we would also like to clarify that the any attempt on our part to regain the server access would have been deemed as obstructing the investigation. SAOL is totally committed to cooperating with the concerned authorities and therefore has not initiated any action that may be deemed as obstruction to the investigations.

The motive behind partially restoring the access to the website speakasiaonline.com is at the moment not available to us as we have had no official communication from EOW, Mumbai Police on this subject.

We appeal to you to not believe false and motivated news item appearing online as well as in conventional media. We also would like to assure the SpeakAsian community that the company has initiated a series of actions aimed at restarting and returning to business as usual.

Regards,
SpeakAsia Corporate Marketing Team

Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (09 Nov. 2011)

Good Morning Speakasians,

The Last fortnight or so has been a period of mixed emotions. From the silent wait for the final outcome, to utter confusion due to change in dates etc. and now this emotion of ecstasy on being able to view and log into our beloved website.

Friends, Fellow Speakasians allow me to explain the various court matters and their current position:

1. Supreme Court Matter is now posted for hearing on the 14^th November, 2011.

2. Mumbai High Court Matter.
a) Criminal PIL is listed for 16^th November, 2011
b) Associations PIL not yet visible but in all probabilities will be on the 16^th itself.

3. Supreme Court quashing of FIR of Hyderabad Notice has been served on the state and CB/CID, matter awaiting posting.

4. Mumbai High Court bail matter in the Raigad case. Yesterday the Mumbai High Court confirmed the Bail for all the accused in the Raigad matter.

In short, the first court hearing is on the 14^th In the Hon. Supreme Court. All our people are out on bail. Nobody is in custody.

We all know that NO AGENCY has so far pressed any charges what so ever against the company.

On 7^th November, 2011 at around 11.45pm, we all were very ecstatic that we could once again view our website and log into our accounts and check our account detail, see our RP’s etc.

What I want to bring to the attention of all the Speakasians is that the website is still in the possession of the EOW. Why and how the EOW has allowed the website to go live and made it available to the public view, is a question for which I have no answers. Till when the website will be available for view, is another million dollar question?

We must be mentally prepared for the site to once again go off air any time. If it does not go off, I for one will be the happiest like the entire Speakasian family, but if it does go off then please do not lose heart.

We have learnt the hard way that we Speakasians will not get anything so easily and without a fight, so let us remain calm and patient and seek final relief from the appropriate forum at the opportune time.

I have drawn your attention in one of my earlier update that VICTORY is in sight. Our journey of woes is coming to an end, the final phase is always most difficult to overcome in any journey. I urge you to hold on to your patience for some more time and we will cross the victory line soon.

“Success is sweet: the sweeter if long delayed and attained through manifold struggles and defeats”. ………..A. Branson Alcott

Have faith, Have patience, trust the company.

Good Morning Speakasians,

I have been inundated with numerous calls and have checked it myself, that the www.speakasiaonline.com website is visible and our log in is possible.

This is a wonderful surprise, because for the last five months we have not been able to log into our website and see our RP’s.

Let us wait and watch if the site can be logged into during the day tomorrow also. Only then we will we know the exact status.

BUT, the fact, that the website is suddenly functional at such an opportune moment, of our case coming up in the Supreme Court, is reason to celebrate.

Let us not over celebrate, let us be calm and wait patiently, for the inevitable to happen.

Did not our Babbar sher, Tarak Bajpaiji tell us, “We are bound to win, and we will definitely win.”

Mr. Manoj Kumarji, and Madam Haren Kaurji, I on behalf of the entire Speakasian family, Thank you and Salute You, for your courage, and for having implicit faith in your business model, which you have stood by, and fought for.

The entire Speakasian family stands united behind you, and we know we will WIN.

“Satyamev Jayate”

Truth will ultimately prevail, where there is a pain, taken to bring it to light.

Have Patience, Have faith, trust the company

Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (05 Nov. 2011)

Good Evening Speakasians,

I have been irregular in posting my updates as I have been very busy with my normal business.

But trust me my heart and soul is with all of you and I have been more then eager to post my update. The only thing that kept me away was my timings, in the last fifteen days or so I have been working till almost 11.00pm in the night.

A few interesting things have happened since my last update as follows:

1. Our dear friend Shri Mateen Hafeez has proved the old saying correct “hum nahi sudherenge”. Judge sahib once again reported in his trade mark mischievous and uninformed way on 2^nd November, 2011. In his report he has proven that he indeed has no knowledge of the law, and sadly he is assigned the beat of Speakasia.

Mr. Hafeez starts by saying that the police have completed 90 days of investigation and will file their “water tight” charge sheet in November. I am not disputing or questioning his statement whether the police may file their charge sheet in November or not. What I wish to ask our Judge Sahib, is why he mentions the 90 day period, I hope he is not confused about the nonexistent 90 day time period to complete investigation. Chances are that he is confused, we all know of his confused state of mind.

Mr. Hafeez goes on to report in his trademark uninformed way that out of the total of 8 persons so far arrested in the SAOL matter he claims that 7 of them have been taken into custody by the Hyderabad police. Hafeezji, sorry sir you are wrong, the fact is that only 4 of the 8 persons have been arrested by the Hyderabad Police and are out on bail now. Important to note here is that none of the 8 people are in custody as of today.

Sir “kuch tho homework karo Na, kabhi tho homework karo na bhai”.

He then goes on to say that our inspirational leader and COO Mr. Tarak Bajpaiji has joined the MLM Business since 2004. Here again, Mr. Hafeez is far away from reality, as Mr. Bajpai has joined SAOL only in 2010. Before joining SAOL, he managed a Pilot Training academy in Indore and before that was a pilot in the INDIAN AIRFORCE.

His entire report is full of errors and wrong reporting and we Speakasians are all aware of this gentleman’s intentions.

Any way before I end my reply to his report I take this opportunity to wish Mr. Mateen Hafeez a very happy Eid Mubarak.

2. It is because of reporters like Mr. Hafeez and the misinformation spread by TV Channels that Justice Markandey Katju, has so correctly showered his ire on the electronic media. Justice Markandey Katju is the Chairman, Press Council of India. He was formerly a Judge of the Supreme Court of India after having been the Chief Justice of three different High Courts

We Speakasians laud the upright stand taken by Justice Katju and support him whole heartedly in his stand. We have been victims of the misinformation spread by the Electronic media. There cannot be a greater example than the Speakasian example, where a motivated media can be used to destroy the credibility of an entity based on falsehood, and a body of lies.

I agree with the Hon. Justice Katju when he says “In my opinion, a large section of the Indian media (particularly the electronic media), does not serve the interest of the people, in fact some of it is positively anti-people”.

I propose to write to Hon. Markandey Katju in his capacity of The Chairman of the Press Council of India. I will try and demonstrate before him the state of the Speakasia matter and how this model has been so grossly misreported, and how such wrong reporting has violated the basic fundamental rights of over 20 lakh Speakasians.

If I am given an opportunity to meet Justice Katju I will explain the entire episode in detail (our media subcommittee is working on collecting the data) especially the conduct of our dear friend Mr. Mateen Hafeez.

3. The Supreme Court matter was postponed from the 8^th to the 14^th due to some procedural reasons let me bring to your collective notice that such things are very normal when the matter is sub judice and for this precise reason I have been always urging everybody not to set any time frame while the matter is sub judice.

Unconfirmed sources inform me that the matter was postponed because none of the agencies involved have filed their written reply, if that is true then once again it is an issue in our favour, as it shows and proves that the agencies have nothing substantial or solid against the company.

I wish to remind my speakasian brethren that in the larger view such delays do not make a major difference. What is important that we should be on the path to victory which we are and this reminds me of the words of our inspirational COO Mr. Tarak Bajpaiji “We are bound to win and we will definitely win”

In one of the supplementary lists the matter is now being shown as posted for the 10^th. The exact final date will emerge on 8^th Evening when the final cause list will be uploaded on the Supreme Court web Site, till then dear friends do not get hassled, have faith in the judicial system of the country.

4. I received many phone calls yesterday, wanting to seek my confirmation on some meeting which had purportedly taken place between senior company officials in Mumbai.

I once again wish to bring to your notice, that I am the Secretary of AISPA and not part of the SAOL management. The company is not in touch with me, so I have no information what so ever about the internal happenings of the company.

If it is indeed true that such a meeting took place, then I think it is a positive movement and I don’t understand why we panelists should want to know of every small step of the company.

Dear friends, please understand this is a war like situation. Your company is under attack and we are soldiers who are standing united in support of the company. In war, the soldier is not a party to the strategies of the Generals.

I understand that as we are all only interested in quick normalization of the business activities and most of us are still wholly depended on Speakasia, our quest for information is insatiable. But we need to give the management the privacy it needs, to make some strategical moves and we should not expect to be kept in the loop at all times.

"Success doesn't come to you? You go to it."…..Marva Collins

Friends, Fellow Speakasians I very well understand your anxiety and empathize with all of you. The wait, especially at the end of the journey, is always the longest. I can smell the sweet smell of victory like the smell of the first rain.

Have Patience, have faith and trust your company.

Jai Speakasia.

Proud to be Speakasian…… actually very Proud.

Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (31 Oct. 2011)

Good Evening Speakasians,

I wish to thank all of the so many Speakasians, who sent me text messages, wishing me a very happy Diwali. I am sorry, I could not reciprocate the messages, as I was not celebrating Diwali due to my mother’s sad demise. Through this update I thank all of you for having remembered me on this auspicious day.

Over the last couple of days many Speakasians kept calling me, specially around the 28^th wanting to know if the EOW had filed their charge sheet, as 90 days were over since the arrest of Mr. Tarak Bajpai ji.

Allow me to explain the factual position, the 90 day rule that the panelists were referring to is in fact as follows “If an accused is in custody for a period of 60/90 days and if the charge sheet is not filed during this period, then the accused is eligible for Bail”

60/90 days is because, if the maximum punishable sentence in the particular case is less than 7 years as in SAOL’s case, then the period in question is 60 days if the maximum punishable sentence is more than seven years than it is 90 days.

Besides the above there is no time limit under which the investigating authority has to complete the investigation.

The Panelists wanted to have a clear current position of the various court cases and I try to explain hereunder:

1. The Solomon James matter (Where around 225 independent Panelists have filed a writ petition bearing number WP/383 of 2011), the next date of hearing is 8^th November, 2011. On this date it is expected that all the parties viz. the RBI, The Finance Ministry, SAOL and HVP who are the original respondents to the petition and the two new impleaded parties i.e. EOW and CTBT (IT Department), are expected to be present.

What is expected in the Supreme Court on this day?

First, we will get to know, what the stand of all the parties is.

Second, we will come to understand what the Hon. Court thinks prima facie, and what is the stand of the Hon. Court.

Third, I am sure as ordered by the Hon. Supreme court, in the last hearing the company must have by now filed their affidavit, confirming that in the eventuality of any tax liability arising out of the matter, then the company will honor such a liability. I am sure the company will not have any problem in giving such an undertaking

Fourth, and most importantly we all hope that the committee, headed by the retired Chief Justice of Supreme Court, His honorable Justice Lahoti, will be constituted thereby setting the ball rolling in the company’s favor.

I take leave, and attempt to illustrate the entire situation, by giving a simple example.

Assume, that we all are in Mumbai and our final destination, is say Delhi (Our final destination being complete normalization of business and restart of payouts and an active website), we will come to know how the Hon. Court orders us to reach our destination.

If the Hon. Supreme Court, orders us that we fly down, then I suppose the entire normalization can happen as soon as November. If the Hon. Court orders us to reach our destination by rail then we will be able to achieve our goal by maybe end December. If the Hon. Court puts us on the road route, than we should be prepared to see normalization by Jan/Feb 2012.

We will come to know the exact situation only after the hearing of the 8^th November, 2011.

What we need to quickly understand, is that the company will resume its business, is an ABSOLUTE reality and this will happen 100%.

What scores of Panelists want, is that if the website is active and visible, where we all can go and see our RP’s, and if payments are actually started at least for the panelists who have opted for the EXIT OPTION, then the panel will have no problem waiting for the normalization of business.

1. The PIL filed by AISPA, in the Mumbai High Court, was slated for after vacation and we will confirm the hearing date soon. Unconfirmed sources report that the matter is listed on 9^th November, 2011.

2. The SLP (Special Leave Application), filed in the Hon. Supreme Court, filed by the company, against the dismissal of the company’s petition for quashing the FIR, in the Hyderabad High Court. In this matter the Hon. Supreme Court has issued notice to the parties viz. The State of AP and the CB-CID (AP). The listing of this matter is awaited.

3. The company SAOL through their legal advisors M/s. Phoenix Law Firm have served a “seize and desist notice” to the reporter of TOI Mr. Mateen Hafeez and the entire editorial and the management of TOI. I will be more than pleased to report the progress on this matter as it unfolds.

Friends, Fellow Speakasians, I am supremely confident on the intention of the company, and their resolve to restart business as soon as possible, not only in India but in almost entire Asia and indeed the whole world.

We as panelists, need to do only simple and most easy things, like having patience, having trust in the company, and have implicit faith in our beloved company SAOL.

We need to acknowledge, the struggle of our leaders, like our Global CEO Mrs. Haren Kaur, Our Indian CEO Mr. Manoj Kumarji, and last but not the least, our Babar sher our inspirational COO Mr. Tarak Bajpai ji.

“I do not think that winning is the most important thing. I think winning is the only thing”.- Bill Veeck.

AISPA Updates - Open Letter No. 2 to Mr. Mateen Hafeez

Hon. Justice Sahib,

Pranam Nyayaadeesh mahoday Sahibji. Here is wishing you and your family a very happy and prosperous happy Deepawali. I hope and pray that you are blessed with all the blessings of Goddess Laxmi mataji and you and your entire family gets the entire prosperity equivalent to the millions of diyas lit today across the country.

Judge Sahibji I understand that it takes time to get off the high pedestal one puts himself on, even if it is imaginary like in your case. I am sure, you have almost assumed yourself, to be the investigator, prosecutor and judge and I have abundantly made myself clear in my earlier open letter, why I think so.

Hafeezji, Once again in your report of October 26^th you mischievously captioned your report “Fraud Firm Investors vent ire on cops” your caption itself is erroneous on three counts as follows:

1. First and foremost only a person of low gravitas like you can keep calling Speakasia Online Pte. Ltd Fraud without any basis and any matter.

2. There are NO INVESTORS in the entire model. I know you know what the truth is; it is another thing that you are not paid to acknowledge this.

3. Hafeezji, you are not supposed to call your masters ‘cops’. The word Cops is slang. Anyway, I am not surprised, as by now I am well aware of your level of integrity, intelligence and knowledge.

What is most amusing is that in your entire report you have not even once reported any incident explaining your caption. You have failed to bring to anybody’s notice any incident of any investor [sic] venting any ire on cops. Sorry Hafeezji, I expect too much from reporters especially from you, my sincere apologies I forget you suffer from short term memory loss.

Mr. Hafeezji, without wasting my time trying to find any sense in your motivated and malicious report, try using logic to explain to an illogical mind like yours. I hereby publicly invite you to engage me in a public debate before a panel of eminent journalists and senior retired High Court Judges. I promise you, I will issue a public apology, and will shave off my moustache, if I am proved wrong. If you are proved wrong Judge Sahib, you simply publish the result of the outcome; we don’t even expect an apology from you.

Before I end my letter to you Hafeezji, let me clear a few things, which you have tried to write between the lines in your report, under protest here as follows:

I, on behalf of the entire 20 lakh panelists of Speakasia online Pte Ltd., do hereby place on record that none of us wish you not to report on the SAOL matter; all we wish is that you report the factual position.

Sarva Shri Hafeezji, How do you say that some Panelists are still duping unsuspecting investors, when no fresh and new joining are possible, when the website in your own words is defunct?

Hafeezji, I am really finding it difficult to affix the ji to your name but my culture, upbringing and experience forces me to address you respectfully and I will continue doing so.

For your kind Information, and I draw your attention to para 4, where you unknowingly mention that the police has so far arrested 8 persons, and you go on to add that almost all of these 8 persons are the employees of the company. Mr. Hafeezji, you are once again absolutely wrong and as far away from the truth as the horizon is from the sky, let me bring to your attention that save and except Mr. Tarak Bajpai, our most revered and inspirational COO (note: I have for the first time not affixed ji to his name as I am using ji today to people of low gravitas) none of the other persons arrested in the matter are direct employees of SAOL.

Hafeezji, at times, I feel you are dynamic at least in some matters you keep growing, like you were saying earlier that this fraud [sic] was 8000 crores, then in your last report you reported the fraud to approx 14000 crores. In your article of 9^th August you reported 100 complaints have been received by the EOW, in the present report you are reporting 200 complaints. It seems, you are getting remuneration equivalent to the number of cases and the volume of fraud. Suddenly, I feel sorry for you, as in the end analysis, you will see that there are only a handful of cases and worst of all, that this IS NOT A FRAUD. There go all your imaginary facts and figures. Sorry Hafeez bhai extremely sorry for spoiling your party.

Judge Sahibji, you address “these so called spokesperson” have earned a lot of money. Sirji I am Ashok Bahirwani, Secretary AISPA, and official spokesperson, you will be surprised to know that I, have not earned a single penny from Speakasia. If this entire matter is a fraud like you try to bring out to be, then judge sahib I am the victim, someone who needs to be protected and not a candidate for arrest.

I am fighting for my money, and for the monies of the entire speakasian family.

Let me also bring to your kind attention that on August 19^th, after the Associations Press Conference, we have submitted a memorandum addressed to the respectful EOW officials explaining our stand and opinion.

Hafeezji, people who take up issues, and fight for the rights of a huge majority, do not fear the outcome.

I am sure you have heard the famous saying “Sarfaroshi ki tammana, ab humare dil me hain. Dekhna hai zor kitna baazuyein kaatil me hain”

Sirji, finally I want to draw your attention to the fact that the company SAOL is before the Supreme Court and on record stating their intention of paying ALL THE PANELIST their entire dues, sorry Hon. Hafeezji you are justice above the Supreme Court. YOU ARE MR. KNOW ALL.

Mateen, mere bhai, allow me to quote from the ‘Rig Veda’

“One should perform, for the benefit of mankind, with an unbiased approach… because bias gives birth to evil, which creates thousands of obstacles in our path”

Hafeezji, are you not surprised that this family of over 20 lakh Speakasians have implicit faith in the company. This family has not received any money, from the company, for over 5 months now, and are still supporting the company.

The company is on record before the Supreme Court, to pay ALL its panelists. Why are you in the way?

Proud to be Speakasian….. actually very proud

Jai Speakasia

AISPA Updates - Open Letter to Mr. Mateen Hafeez

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Date: 24^th October, 2011

Dear Mr. Hafeez,

I address you on behalf of the entire Speakasian Family in the capacity of the Secretary of All India Speakasia Panelist Association.

I wish to draw your kind attention to my earlier letter regarding your report “MBA grad lost Rs. 14cr to SpeakAsia” appeared in the TOI dated 9^th August, 2011. I think you may have been busy cooking up unbiased stories, especially against Speakasia, and for this precise reason you may have not replied to the above mentioned letter.

Mr. Hafeez where may I ask are the over 100 complaints that you had mentioned in the said article and where is your imaginary MBA grad Mr. Sharad Yadav who had lost the whopping 14 crores. Come on Mr. Hafeez stop fooling around and get serious, you are playing around with careers of 20 lakh people.

I had drawn your kind attention to the fact that your said impugned report dated 9^th August was an outcome of lazy Journalism and your report was a body of misinformation. I had ended my said letter as follows “I hope to read more enlightened and researched news reports from you in the future”.

Mr. Hafeez you have dashed my hopes and I now reach a conclusion that persons like you of low gravitas do not want to change. You epitomize the face of corrupt journalism. It is abundantly clear Sir, that you are motivated and absolutely biased against the company Speakasia online.

Allow me to explain my thought Process as under:

1. Is it your secret desire to be a JUDGE and it seems you have been forced to take up a career in Journalism. I think you secretly dream of being called Hon. Justice Mr. Hafeez. My advice to you is to stop dreaming such eventualities, as the basic prerequisite to becoming a Judge is to have basic intelligence and integrity and sorry to say you seem to be lacking on both counts.

Mr. Hafeez now that we have established that you are not qualified to become a Judge I urge you to stop passing Judgment like you have done in your report of 24^th October, 2011 when you caption your mischievous article “Fraud firm COO disappears while on bail”.

Mr. Hafeez you seem eager to do everything else except do your basic duties of Journalism, You are an overzealous investigator, very cunning prosecutor, and a very sick judge.

2. You start by saying that “Tarak Bajpai has disappeared and we don’t know where he is” said an officer. You are silent in saying officer from which agency, I am sure it cannot be an officer from the EOW as they will not make such wrong comments. I hope you have not been talking to the officer of your office canteen, as corrupt journalists like you are known to while away their time drinking cutting chai. I hope this officer is not once again a product of your hallucinating mind like the fictional MBA Grad Mr. Sharad Yadav (see para 3 above).

1. In para 4 of your impugned report you go on to say “Company’s defunct website” as if to say that the company has closed down the website. Hon. Justice Hafeez sahib [sic]

Mr. Hafeez the website is not defunct by choice it is defunct because the admin rights are with EOW and the website will be fully operational as soon as EOW returns the website to the company.

2. It now seems that you are not only misinformed you are actually handicapped especially when it comes to figures. This was also evident from your earlier report of the 9^th August referred above and now when you say that the matter could run into 14000 crores. Under no stretch of imagination this could result in those numbers. My niece in 5^th standard can calculate that 20lakh X Rs. 11000/- does not become 14,000 Crores. I am now quite sure Judge Sahib that you are not only corrupt, you are also a lazy Journalist who can be easily motivated against anybody, and now it seems you use the outdated abacus for calculations, Sir buy a calculator.

3. Wow, you simply amuse me Hafeezji, ‘kya kamal ka dimag paya hai aapne’ now where you got this news that the head office was in Mumbai and not in Singapore. Mr. Hafeezji you seem to forget that initially you were reporting that this company has no office in India and there was no PE, then you in today’s report say that more than 1000 Crores were siphoned off to Singapore then you suddenly come up with this piece of news that SAOL has its head office in Mumbai.

Come on judge sahib make up your mind.

4. Hafeezji, you end your misleading article by saying that Red Corner Notices have been issued against seven officials. May I ask you sir, who are the seven officials? Or once again these seven officials are the fictional characters in your now confirmed sick and hallucinating mind.

Mr. Hafeez please get your facts right. The bail condition was that all the concerned persons had to attend the EOW office every Monday and Thursday. While Mr. Tarakji was in the hospital the advocates filed for exemption from personal appearance on Medical grounds as Mr. Tarakji is recuperating and is advised complete bed rest. The advocates are filing regular applications for exemption of personal appearance. This, under no circumstances, tantamounts to jumping bail or absconding without trace. Mr. Hafeez sahib, please get your facts verified before reporting. Oh I am sorry I am asking you to work we know by now you report based on hallucinations.

I have again and again demonstrated above that you Mr. Hafeez have an over fertile, hallucinating and a sick mind. You have a tendency to cook up fictional characters and you seem to suffer from short term memory loss. You Mr. Hafeez are a person of very low gravitas. I on behalf of the entire 20 lakh Speakasian Panelists place my severest objection to your falsified news.

I sincerely hope that the company SAOL takes attention of your malicious campaign against the company and moves the appropriate legal forum as they may be advised.

I am keeping a copy of this letter which I will use to lodge my protest and complain against you in whatever forum I am advised by the counsel of the Association.

Warm Regards,
Ashok Bahirwani

Update from Corporate Marketing Team (24 Oct. 2011)

Dear SpeakAsians,

Today morning yet again we have been targeted with a malicious and motivated news item in website of one of the Newspapers in India.

This news item wrongly states that our India operation COO Mr. Tarak Bajpai has disappeared . It further goes on to also state the police have seized two cars and other properties etc. of Mr. Tarak Bajpai which is completely false and unsubstantiated.

While Mr. Tarak Bajpai has undergone a surgery, he and the rest of the team have been cooperating with the law enforcement agencies as well as all other authorities looking into the allegations leveled against the company by some uninformed and motivated section of people.

All necessary actions are being initiated to try and stop such kind of malicious and un-substantiated news items from being reported.

We once again appeal to you not to pay any attention to such kind of reports as they are completely false and motivated.

Regards,


SpeakAsia Corporate Marketing Team.

Speak Asians The intention of our Media is to destroy unity

Today a new paper called as times of india had published a one hell of a news in which they have published the interview of any officer .Whose name was missing who that officer was .In my view it seems to me that it is a paid news by some rivals to break the unity of speakasian after getting a moral victory in supreme court.Speakasians are getting united thats why they published such a malicious news .


I would like to discuss on the news one by one what they have published and how that is wrong.

In there news they have said an officer from eow or cid they haven't mentioned the name of that officer they said that an officer don't know where is tarak sir i don't know how they can say this kind of foolish thing .As we all know the passport and all other documents of tarak ji is under eow .And why they really need to know about tarak sir they must concentrate on investigation they have yet to filed a chargesheet and yet they claim that speakasia is fraud .

Yes times of India was right that Andhra Pradesh high court had disposed the anticipatory bail application by Tarak sir but TOI had not mentioned the another bail application which is under supreme court and and supreme court had said cid why they have register an FIR in supreme court our lawyer said to judge that tarak ji ahd get bail from two agencies in the same case .And why CID needs to get custody of mister Tarak sir and he had also pointed that if CID needs to interogate they might join hands with eow mumbai and interogate why they are investigating on same FIR seperatly .And hence supreme court was pleased to list the bail application by Tarak sir and had issued a notice to CID and have asked why they have register FIR and also asked that till there investigation is on, what they have achieved. I am sure that no agency will get any evidence against speakasia CID and EOW had done only one thing like finding the bank details of the transaction made by speakasia .And EOW had just seized the offices of speakasia in goregaon and server of the site just to interrogate .And in there investigation they have find that speaksia had distributed more than 1058 crore to the panelist .I do not think that giving money to the panelist is an offense .And the 90 days period of EOW is going to expire at 27 october if they will not filed a chargesheet till 27 october .Then the case against speaksia will not move .

To combat EOW speakasia had filed a case against EOW in mumbai high court for queshing the FIR which was register by eow mumbai .It is for sure that this case will end soon .

Now we will discuss that where is tarak vajpayee he is at safe place and most of the officials know where is he there is no need to show there face publically . After getting ongoing surgery in mumbai tarak ji had been adviced to have bed rest and on behalf of tarak sir our lawyer had taken all the permission .about tarak sir there is no need that tarak sir to appear against any agencies.Tarak sir is in bed rest .

He had not flew anywhere if the officer needs to interrogate tarak sir they might contact the lawyer of tarak sir so it is just a lazy media report they have not try to ask atleast lawyer and some official. just for getting TRP TOI had published just an interview of a corrupt officer .

As for as the question is about the news of several news paper today……… I would like to say this only that we are not suppose to panic our self.. Because  same media had said for red corner notice also and nothing was like that…They have only intention to destroy unity…..




"we are bound to win and we will defenetly win." - Tarak Vajpayee

Jai Speaksaia

Proud to be Speakasian

Speak Asia is Preparing to Take Revenge.

Speakasia is all sets up to take revenge from particular agencies .

First of all I would like to draw the attention on the cases which are on speakasia .

1.First case was register against speakasia in Andhrapradesh by some ngo called corporate fraud .

2.In mumbai the economic offense wing mumbai had register a FIR against speakasia .

All these criminal cases were filed only for one thing that the respondent had not get payment in speakasia.
And we all know why speakasia was not able pay to their panelist because RBI and some other vested competitor of speakasia had shut down the accounts of speakasia in singapore and as well as in India.In India we all know the banks have freezed speakasia accounts due to RBI precautionary circullar and CID of hyderabad .

This was the scene how speakasia get into trouble I will not focus on previous issue i will directly discuss about the future plans of speakasia .

After getting a moral support from supreme court speakasia had filed a petition against CID and EOW
in different courts .

Against EOW speakasia had filed a criminal petition at 15 october in which the main prayer was for queshing FIR .

Against cCID andhrapradesh speakasia ahd went in supreme court and have filed Specail Leave Petition(criminal) 7509 -7510 this petition was filed at 18th october by speakasia .

And speakasia had also had filed a case against star news in high court also .

All the above steps taken by speakasia jsut shows that speakasia is in mode of offensive after sensing a possible victory after the judgement of supreme court speakasia had started to take revenge .I m hopefull that the in the matter of eow at bombay highcourt speakasia will defenetly win for sure because the case was on spekasia was for only that speakasia had stopped payement .And this case had no chance to stand tall against speakasia because speakasia is all set to start the payment to the panelist when the payment will start the FIR will ultimetly closed and in the investigation of EOW . EOW had able to find just one thing correct that speakasia had paid 1058 crores to its panelist . and it is very true .If paying to panelist is offense then yes speakasia had did this and speakasia had not voilated any rules under indian law .

The final conclusion to all above facts just show the guaranteed victory of speakasia .EOW mumbai in his limited 90 days of investigation time EOW mumbai was unable to find any strong evidence against speakasia .And cid andhrapradesh has yet to file any charges agaist speakasia.

And when the cid get slapped in supreme court then there will be no fear of arrest for any officials of speakasia .And when eow was unable to find any criminal charges against speakasia it simply mean that RBI will not take any precautionary step again and hence mca may also give a registration soon .And hence speakasia in the end will overcome evry odds and will become a biggest corporate house in india ,it was a message which was unofficially given to us by CEO manoj kumar .

Always remember the great words from tarak vajpayee we are bount to win and we will defenetly win .And this famous sentence is going to be happen soon .So i will also say we the panelist also bound to support speakasia and we will always support speakasia as a family .

Jai Speakasia

Proud to be Speakasian

Good Evening Speakasians,

The wait for 8^th November, 2011 gives me the feeling which is so close to the saying

“The calm before the storm”

The storm that Speakasia is bound to create, once the business restarts, is going to make history, I have been all throughout saying “truth will prevail”.

Friends, fellow Speakasians, I have sent my laptop for servicing and preventive maintenance, I have started looking around for a portable projector, I am readying myself to hit the road with a vengeance, I want to be the first off the block to build my team after all my team size is zero and I want to match my presidents team for sure. Melwyn Crasto sahib here I come.

Before I go on, I wish to clarify some issues. I was flooded with innumerable phone calls all through the day today asking for the clarification on today’s Supreme Court hearing. Friends there was nothing to happen in Supreme Court today i.e. 20^th October and therefore nothing to report, I only asked all the callers to please authenticate their information first on the company blog spot www.speakasiaonlinemarketing.blogspot.com and then on aispa.co.in if there is no confirmation on these two sites then all Speakasians should take heed of such information with due diligence.

Now something new is surfacing someone called me asking me to authenticate news that the payments will start from 28^th October, 2011. To this I have to say that if this happens I will be the happiest but I do not think this is realistically possible.

All I have to most humbly submit, dear friend’s fellow Speakasians, there are forums and forums and web sites after web sites, all I am sure all are highly motivated Speakasians and very enthusiastic supporters of the company, but all of them may not be fully aware of the nitti grities of the legal process or the actual happenings. They are probably letting their HEART take over their BRAINs and in their quest to spread positivity amongst the family of Speakasians spread unsubstantiated news as the gospel truth.

“Koi gal nahi sirji, hum speakasian family nu pata si, kaise hum apne bhaiyo ki galtiyo ko bhi apni raha me dafnate hue badthe jayenge”.

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, Speakasia in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory…. Sincere apologies to Mr. Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

So let us all Speakasians have implicit trust in the company, let us garner all patience in support of our beloved company SAOL.

And friends have we forgotten the Babar Sher of Speakasia our beloved and inspirational leader sarv Shri Tarak Bajpai Sahibji.

Proud to be a Speakasian….. Actually very proud,

Jai Speakasia

Good Evening Speakasians,

यदि आप को ८ अक्टूबर, २०११ का मेरा अद्यतन याद है, मैंने इस पूरे परिवार को एक विलम्बित विजयादशमी की बधाई दी थी .मैंने यह भी कहा था कि, हम Speakasians के लिए विजयादशमी , अभी आनी बाकी है.

Speakasians , आज सामान्यकरण की ओर हमारी यात्रा की शुरुआत है, आज जीत की ओर पहला कदम था, तो मैं कहना चाहता हूँ कि आज हमारे लिए हमारी विजयादशमी है और दीवाली उस दिन होगी जिस दिन कारोबार पुनरारंभ होगा.

मुझे अनुमति दें, बहुत ज्यादा ख़ुशी से ,आज की घटनाओं का बयान करना , कि कैसे वे माननीय सुप्रीम कोर्ट में घडीं

शुरुआत में कंपनी के वरिष्ठ सलाहगार ,वकील श्री गोपाल सुब्रमण्यम (भूतपूर्व . भारत के सॉलिसिटर जनरल) ने माननीय अदालत का ध्यान केंद्रीत किया कंपनी के इरादे क़ी ओर, अदालत में दायर उनके हलफनामे के माध्यम से जिसमे बहुत स्पष्ट किया है ,कि वे शीघ्र सभी पैनलइस्ट्स की पूरी बकाया राशि की भुगतान करना चाहते हैं, लेकिन ऐसा करने के लिए असमर्थ है, क्योंकि RBI के २३ मई २०११ के "चेतावनी परिपत्र "के आधार पर बैंकों ने लेन देन पर रोक लगा दी.

अदालत ने RBI के निरंतर अनुपस्तिथि की सराहना नहीं क़ी. RBI आज भी अनुपस्थित था हालांकि उन्हें सूचना लगभग १८ दिन पहले दी गयी थी .माननीय. अदालत ने यह बड़ी अनुचित बात ,अतिरिक्त सॉलिसिटर जनरल श्री किरीट एन रावल जो अदालत में मौजूद थे को दर्शायी और उन्होंने अब अदालत को आश्वासन दिया है कि वह सुनिश्चित करेंगे कि RBI अगली तारीख पर उनका जवाब दर्ज करेगी

कंपनी के वकील ने आगे सुझाव किया कि किसी भी उपयुक्त सेवानिवृत्त सुप्रीम कोर्ट के न्यायाधीश की अध्यक्षता में एक उच्चस्तरीय समिति का गठन किया जाए. अदालत ने अब न्यायाधीश श्रीमान रमेश चंद्र लाहोटी (सुप्रीम कोर्ट के ३५ वे चीफ जस्टिस) को समिति का अध्यक्ष नियुक्त किया है जो त्वरित भुगतान के लिए रूपरेखा तय करेगी

अदालत ने कंपनी से जानना चाहा कि क्या उनके पास पैनलइस्ट्स की पूर्ण देय राशि का विवरण है जिसपर कंपनी ने जवाब दिया कि अगर कंपनी की वेबसाइट जो EOW के कब्जे में है और बाकी सारे दस्तावेज जो आयकर विभाग में पड़े हैं, कंपनी को लौटा दिए जाए तो कंपनी तुरंत ही अब तक की बकाया राशि पर काम कर सकती है और शीघ्र भुगतान के लिए व्यवस्था कर सकती है.

अदालत ने पैनलइस्ट्स के सलाह्गारों से कहा EOW और आयकर विभाग को भी शामिल करने के लिए, पैनलइस्ट्स के सलाहगारों ने तुरंत उनकी मौखिक सहमति दे दी है कि दोनों को शामिल किया जा सकता है . अदालत ने उल्लेख किये दोनों को सूचना दी और अगली तारीख पर इन दोनों को यानी EOW और आयकर विभाग को उनके जवाब दर्ज करने को सूचित किया.

दोस्तों , साथी Speakasians मैं कंपनी की वर्तमान स्थिति और व्यावसायिक गतिविधियों में ठहराव आने के कारण क़ी ओर आपका एकत्रित ध्यान केंद्रीत करना चाहता हूँ

दोस्तों, किसी भी प्राधिकारी या एजंसी द्वारा अब तक कंपनी के खिलाफ निरोधक आदेश नहीं हैं. गतिविधि पर केवल दो प्रमुख मुद्दों की वजह से एक ठहराव आ गया है:

a) कंपनी की वेबसाइट EOW के कब्जे में है जिसकी वजह से हम पैनलइस्ट्स वेबसाइट पर किसी भी गतिविधि का कार्य नहीं कर सकते हैं

b) हमारे खातों में कोई आवक विप्रेषण( राशि जमा करने) क़ी अनुमति नहीं दी गई है

कंपनी के खिलाफ इन दो मुद्दों को छोड़कर कुछ भी नहीं है जो इस व्यवसाय को एक ठहराव में ला सकता था..

यदि आप सुप्रीम कोर्ट के आज के इस मामले के पूरे प्रकरण को पढें, तो अदालत ने इन दोनों मुद्दों को लगभग, सामान्यकृत करने के लिए अनुमति दी है. यदि ऐसा होता है तो मुझे लगता है कि व्यापार गतिविधियों का सामान्य होना बहुत दूर नहीं है और उम्मीद है कि ऐसा हो सुप्रीम कोर्ट कि अगली तारीख तक, जो नवंबर के पहले सप्ताह में है

माननीय.अदालत ने दो सप्ताह के लिए बात स्थगित कर दी है.

Aispa के माध्यम से संपर्क करके किसीने यह सुझाव भेजा था "SAOL के ऊपर से भारी वक़्त गुजर जायेगा , १५ नवम्बर के बाद कोई नहीं रोक पायेगा SAOL को इंडिया का अगला सुपर कॉर्पोरेट बनने से .”

प्रतियोगी और आलोचक हमारे सुधार और विकास के लिए योगदानकर्ता हैं ... हमेशा उन्हें धन्यवाद और आशीर्वाद दे" ... ... अनाम

जैसे मैं हमेशा कहता हूँ कि धैर्य रखो , भरोसा रखो और कंपनी पर भरोसा रखो

गर्व Speakasian होने पर .... वास्तव में बहुत गर्व है

जय Speakasia

Payments expected to come in 3 weeks.

As we all know that we have finally hear a one very positive news .And it had came from the house of supreme court this is indeed a victory  in that hearing of 17 october. Honorable Supreme Court had taken an initiative and had passed the order to give relief to the panelist through payout release .To ensure that the payment must go to panelist the Honorable Court had form a committee headed by former chief justice of India .

So now we will discuss all facts an assume at when the payment will come to our account to know exact calculation of dates we must analyse what can happen in 3 weeks .

 Hon'ble Justice Lahoti 

The committee headed by former chief justice of india was given a task to release the payments to the panelsit as soon as possible .The question arises will RBI, EOW, CID and IT departments will listen to him as quick as they can.The answer is very simple .The committee which has been formed is very powerful in itself it has all the constitutional right to take action to ensure the right judgement .So there is a great power involved in it so no matter what happen it is for sure that payment will come soon.

It may take time to release payments may be 2 weeks minimum and 3 weeks maximum .But according to my view the first payment could come very soon. may be 24 october will be the day at when we can see the payments .For payments speakasia will have to take permissions from RBI, CID and EOW and they will give permissions to committee may be in a week . If they will not do immediately then they will have to face the hard words in court .So the final conclusion is that the supreme court factor will work here and may be RBI could submit there reply as quickly as they can.And the time which was given to eow is expiring at 27 october .So EOW can't raise any single question against speakasia .So the final conclusion is that payment may come after 24 october anytime .With the immidiate effect the committee will take decision soon .So we have won half the battle once the payment will release there is not getting back a bright future for speakasia is waiting .

So speakasian its a party time and this diwali the candle hope in every speakasian will flame as bright as it had never been done before .

Jai Speakasia

Updates From AISPA - Ashok Bahirwani (18 Oct. 2011)

Note : AISPA website is having some technical problems. So this update will be posted in aispa.co.in website later after the problems are rectified.

Supreme Court Strongly Reprimands Ministry of Finance and RBI

17th October 2011:The woes of more than 17 lac panallists of Speak Asia seem to be coming to an end. The Honourable Justice Dalveer Bhandari of the Supreme Court today strongly reprimanded the Ministry of Finance and the Reserve Bank of India, for not having filled the reply affidavit, to the writ petition filed by the panellists of Speak Asia. Ministry of Finance and the Reserve Bank of India were supposed file their replys on or before the 10th October 2011. Justice Dalveer Bhandari has asked Additional Solicitor general Kitit N. Rawal to ensure that both the respondents should file their affidavit before the next hearing. He also said that the casual attitude of the Government in this issue was very disturbing as it was the issue of the money and livelihood of so many people

Disposing before the bench of Justice Dalveer Bhandari and Justice Deepak Varma, Gopal Subramanian, senior council for Speak Asia explained the total business model of the company. He compared the business of Speak Asia to that of Ebay, where the consumer benefits most. He said this was a much better and refined version as the consumers not only got great deals but could also earn reward points that could be used to buy goods and services. He also emphasised on the training initiatives taken by the company. He lauded the extraordinary vision of the two Singapore based entrepreneurs and the unfortunate victimisation of the company

He urged the court to form a committee headed by Retd. Chief Justice R.C Lahoti, to facilitate the payments to be made to the panellists. He said that the company has the resources to complete all their obligations. He further added that the they have no problems with the ongoing investigations and had upmost faith in the law of the land. He also appraised the court on how the company has been harassed on the basis of some unsubstantiated media reports, and was pursuing legitimate business in the internet space which is the future of all business transactions

The council for the panellist Mr.Mukul Rohitgi urged the court for immediate relief for the panellist. The Supreme Court was most inclined to set up a committee to look into all the issues of the company and its panelists.

The Supreme Court has also instructed the CBDT and the EOW – Mumbai police who have the records of all the payments to be made party to the case, to be present for the next hearing which will be in the next two weeks.

This is wonderful news for all Speak Asians, as they see a ray of hope not only in being able to receive the money that they have earned but also to continue to work and grow with Speak Asia

This was in response to a writ petition WP (C) No. 383/2011 was filed on behalf of Mr. Solomon James and 114 other panellists, from all across the country in the honourable Supreme Court. The main relief sought in the writ is twofold: firstly to disburse the payments due to the petitioners and other panellists against the reward points earned by the panellists and also direct the company to refund the subscription amounts due to the petitioners and other subscribers for the period the e-magazine was not provided. Also directing that the money so collected from the panellists/subscribers be refunded to them in toto as being public money and any investigation shall not put an embargo or hitch in the refund of the same. Second major relief sought was allowing the panellists’ to participate in the business activities of Speak Asia to enable them to earn their day to day living.

Jai Speakasia.
