Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of india, South Block, New Delhi, Dear Prime Minister; Today's Pioneer newspaper reports that the Government Is considering, the possibility of appointing Mr. Shaktikant Das, presently Secretary in the Ministry of Finance, as Chairman of the SEBI. Mr. Shaktikant is to retire from Government service sometime in February this year. He began his first posting in the State of Tamil Nadu when he came under very adverse attention for several corruption in matters from land allotment to foreign collaboration agreement. He was promoted to a position in Delhi as a confident of Mr. P. Chidambaram who was Finance Minister during the UPA tenure. As Secretary in the Ministry of Finance he was widely perceived as acting to protect the interest of Mr. Chidambaram in his financial affairs whether it was the case of 2-G Spectrum Scam, Aircel Maxi Scam, NSE fraud, manipulation of the stock market, ete. Sometime he helped Mr. Chidambaram by delaying unduly investigations that were being done on the monitoring. An example of this is the letter (enclosed) of the then CBI or dated September 17, 2015 wherein the CBI Director pleaded with ‘Das to provide necessary clarification for prosecution (of Mr. 3 from a Petition that | had filed in the Supreme Court). d the further investigation by not replying and thus » Chidambaram, CBI Director Mr. Sinha possibly in December, 2016. The matter has now been to Ministry of Finance after Mr. January 6, 2017, in the Court of‘Scam was taken up for the Purpose of proceeding with further investigation t Investment Promotion Board illegal clearance approved by Mr. Chidambaram. His son received payments as beneficiary from Maxis Company of Malaysia, as revealed by the investigation by the Enforcement Directorate in 14 countries. Therefore, it will be wholly improper to appoint such a person as the Chairman of the SEBI as it would be entirely inconsistent with the anti- corruption campaign of our Party and which anti corruption campaign continues to be an important plank for our party campaign in the future, I request you therefore to call for the review of the case of Mr. Shaktikant Das, if the Pioneer's story is accurate, and direct your office to _delete his name from the short list of candidates for the post.
