Updates From AISAPA - Ashok Bahirwani (26 August 2011)

Good Evening Speakasians,

After many days, a day, full of GOOD NEWS. After many days we had multiple successes and I take immense pride in reporting as follows.

GOOD NEWS #1: Mr. Rahul Shah the poor victim of the high handedness of the Authorities and an example of subversion of facts was today released on bail, by the Quila Court. To quote the companies Counsel Adv. Ponda this was “A classical example of picking up a wrong man in a wrong case”.

The faith of 20 lakh panelists has once again been imposed in the legal system when the Hon. Magistrate Esplanade Court released, Mr. Rahul Shah, employee of M/s Tulsiyant Info, a company no way connected to SAOL, on bail. Details of the order are awaited; I will post the details ASAP.

GOOD NEWS #2: Mr. Tarak Bajpai our inspirational leader and beloved COO along with the other three officials, none of whom is a SAOL official, were granted unconditional Bail, by the Magistrate in the Thane Court on a surety of Rs. 25000/- only per head. This order was pronounced in court only around 6.00 pm and as such our COO and the three others will have to spend yet another uneasy night on the floors of Thane Jail.

My heart bleeds to see this man who has led the speakasian family to great heights, who has been the architect of change in the standard of living of lakhs of families, sleeping on the floors of Thane Jail, fighting for the panelists, and still smiling.

TRIVIA:

1. The Domain name of your Association website has been confirmed and hopefully the site should be operational within the next 7 to 10 days.

The domain name is www.aispa.co.in

2. The initial proposal of the PR agency has been received and has been circulated amongst the committee members for their opinion and suggestions. We should be able to finalise this soon and the panelists should see the PR exercise taking shape soon. I will share with you the details as they keep getting firmed up.

3. The Association has mooted the idea of setting up a call centre for better verbal communication with the large panelist family.



RUMOURS & UNSUBSTANTIATED REPORTS:

Without going into the details of the forum or the website where the stories were germinated, I attempt to clarify on “HOT” news items of the day.



SAOL has started paying their employees: A false statement to the core, without starting payment of the panelist the company will not pay the employees. All the employees are willing to stand by the company along with their leader Shri. Tarak Bajpai. The company is duty bound to first pay the Panelists followed by the vendors and finally the employees.
The State Government is going to go in appeal against the order of Mr. Tarak Bajpai and others bail order: This is a normal action in the legal process. An aggrieved party will always appeal to the next available medium available to them. So this does not come as a surprise to me as this is the established route available to the authorities.
Zee news report on Mr. Moilly referring the matter of SAOL to SFIO:

I have not seen this news item and as such cannot substantiate the same.

Allow me to comment on this tomorrow, I would like to study this in detail.



As is evident from the above we are moving in the right direction. Things are happening in our favour. On such a large scale, with Govt. Authorities involved we cannot decide the speed, but we can smell victory.

Have faith in SAOL, have patience.

Proud to be a speakasian

Jai speakasia
