SC-appointed panel a failure: Golden Forest promoters
Chandigarh, August 19 Addressing a press conference here today, Mr Nikhil Syal,son of the jailed director of the company, RK Syal, alleged the even after two years of its functioning, the committee was yet to make a complete list of investors and secure the properties of the firm. There were about 25 lakh investors besides the 2.5 lakh employees while the committee had shown only 13 lakh investors in its
report. The Supreme Court had directed the committee to finish these two jobs within six months of its constitution, he claimed. This was despite the fact that the committee had spent about Rs 3 crore in the past two years. There had been widespread thefts and misuse of the two properties of the company which were with the committee—the headquarters at Lalru in Punjab and Kot Billa in Panchkula, Mr Syal alleged. Claiming that promoters wanted to return the money of investors as its had huge landed properties in different parts of the country, including Punjab, Haryana, Uttaranchal, Madhya Pradesh and Delhi, he claimed that they were ready to face any probe even by the CBI, into the working of the company.

...and Chander Mohan, Bhatti disappear
Chandigarh, August 19 Duty-bound to
guard the politician, they panicked nevertheless, though those among the
audience sat pretty, enjoying the feat. As for Mr Chander Mohan, the
sole consolation was that he was not alone in this “act of
disappearance”. Satirist Jaspal Bhatti was giving him company. The
vanished twosome did not return on stage until the passage of few
seconds. The magician saved the day for the harried security
personnel, who heaved a sigh of relief to see their master back on the
stage. The families of “partners in disappearance” were not
distressed at their disappearance. They knew, for a fact, that it was
magic. Mr Bhatti’s daughter Rabbiya, a Class IX student, said:
“There was nothing to worry about. We knew what was going on”. As
for Mr Bhatti, he had a satire for this situation too: “Good, I was
made to vanish from a cage. Perhaps some unsettled stars have been
settled today. I will not have to go to a jail, not for a while at
least.” Earlier, celebrating his golden jubilee show in the city,
O.P. Sharma called Mr Chander Mohan and Mr Bhatti on the stage to honour
them. All spectators, along with the security staff of the Deputy Chief
Minister were surprised when they heard a mild blast on the stage,
following which the duo disappeared. Praising the magician, Mr Chander
Mohan said O.P. Sharma’s show was really wonderful. About his
disappearance, he said he could not figure out where was he? However, he
thanked the magician for making them reappear. The Deputy Chief Minister
wished O.P. Sharma good luck. |
