To quote Winston Churchill (he said this about Russia), SGFX is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key.
Questions:
- Can a cabinet minister in the Government of India be also a director in a company registered in UK? Kindly note that Pawar was the Agriculture minister at that time (A fact that is confirmed in the document).
- What was the nature of business of SGFX Financials Ltd? Was it trading in shares or weapons?
- The company’s paid up capital was raised from £7 million ($10.5 million) to £700 million ($1.05 billion) to £70 billion ($105 billion). Why did the company raise so much cash?
- Why was the Israeli Director Jitu Jeremiah having such successive short tenures – multiple resignations and re-inductions?
- Did company paid any dividends to Pawar?
The most Teflon coated leader of the country who is known as “Mr. Clean” since he has never been involved in the public knowledge in any scandal – needs to come more clean now.
Will the Chairman of Rajya Sabha, Shri Hamid Ansari take up this matter?
