Narendra Modi

Narendra Modi

NEW DELHI: Narendra Modi, Chief Minister of Gujarat first time will be interrogated for the Godra-Riots Case today on Saturday, 27th March. For the purpose of interrogation, the Supreme Court appointed a Special Investigation Team (SIT). The speculation over the Narendra Modi on whether he would appear prior to the commission or not for the Gujarat riots will end today.

Prior, Narendra Modi through his disclosed letter had strike out all his protestors by alleging the dishonor of the law. In this letter he had made a commitment of the conspiracy by his critics against him and the Gujarat State.  The BJP has maintained a long distance from the matter. BJP's National orator, Ram Nath Kovind mentions that it's not fair to relate BJP with the order given to Narendra Modi. Ram Nath also said "It’s Mr. Modi who has to appear, not the BJP. Why bring the BJP in between.”

Even though Narendra Modi is the most debatable leader of the BJP but this is the complicated guidelines issued to him by an orator. Narendra Modi is among the race of the future Prime Ministerial expected person not by only BJP leaders but by some industrialists like Ambanis and Tatas. So when Narendra Modi answers to the Special Investigation Team's queries it will be litmus test also for the BJP workers.

The complaint registered by Zakia Jaffery asks some typical queries from Narendra Modi, Chief Minister of Gujarat during the riots of Godhra. Narendra Modi will have to answer whether he organized a meeting of his higher officers on 27th February, the worst day Gujarat in the form of Godhra-riots and asked the cops of the Gujarat to go slow against the rioters of the Godhra. Now let us see what Narendra Modi will commit today before to Special Investigation Team.

Safi Airways Suffering from Losses Due to bad management and Corruption

Posted: 26 Mar 2010 10:03 PM PDT

Story Submitted By : James Barryman – Just as he arrived on his uneventful flight from Dubai to Kabul on one late afternoon, a man sitting in business class of B737-300 belonging to one of the private airlines in Afghanistan looked nervous as he stepped out of the aircraft he is greeted by a tall middle age Afghan man who whispered something in his ears. His nervousness increased many folds and he walked to the ramp side looking dazed and confused. He is the owner and chairman of Safi Airways, Mr. Abdul Rahim Safi known to his friends as 'Rahim Jan".

He is informed by his General Manager that the fuel provider refuses to provide fuel on credit and demanding cash payment due to unpaid debt and nonpayment of fuel for several days. Dawi Oil is one of the major Jet fuel suppliers in Afghanistan and they had enough with "Rahim Jan" because he is promising them share in the airline and promise to make all the payments to be made on time for several months now. Abdul Rahim Safi woes does not end there he owes money to the airport authority in Kabul and not to mention several hundred thousand dollars of non-payment for ground handling agent part of national Afghan airlines Ariana.

The biggest mistake he made was to hire an incompetent and failed CEO Mr. Tilmann Gabriel who was known for his bad management and poor financial discipline. The classic mistake was that Tilmann Gabriel recruited several fellow Germans to assist him in running the airline. Unfortunately, one of them was Mr. Werner Borchert a former LTU pilot who was kicked out of each airline he worked for poor performance and questionable practices. He convinced Mr. Abdul Rahim Safi to give him an irrevocable mandate to lease any aircraft without his consent and approval in writing. Werner Borchert leased the wrong aircraft for the fleet that was the wrong choice for a fledgling young airline with millions of dollars in debt from the National Bank of Pakistan, Azizi Bank, several underworld "Shady Afghan businessmen with unknown income sources".

Airbus A340-300 was not the right fit for an airline that is operating two classic B737-300 and one twenty years plus old B767-200ER with ongoing maintenance issues. The lease agreement was done with the front company and estimated USD 1.5 Million was paid in commissions. Not to mention a most expensive maintenance contract awarded in the history of Lufthansa Technik with Safi Airways literally putting Safi's aircraft in complete Lufthansa Technik maintenance control. With mounting ongoing operating losses on Kabul-Frankfurt route due to poor load and cargo lift and loss making Kabul-Kuwait route with hardly 30 percent labour traffic with lowest ticket prices there was no chance for profitability. All the profit sustained from the Kabul-Dubai sector was used to cover high operational cost in Dubai. The management enjoying high Dubai lifestyle with waterfront ultra chic Palm apartments and not to mention high salaries and expat benefits including expensive German vehicles increased pressure on Mr. Abdul Rahim Safi to secure more loans from all "available sources in Afghanistan".  Some of them now demands return on their investments.

The venerable Mr. Abdul Rahim Safi now caught between corrupt self serving senior management and various lenders who are increasing convinced that this airline is heading for a crash landing. Money borrowed against family businesses like Safi Land Mark Hotel and other family trading enterprises of Safi family are also under financial pressure cooker.  According to a senior banker in Kabul who wants to remain unanimous and is closely following  Safi Airways and Safi family that Safi Airways alone as a debt of USD 30 Million if not more and the initial capital of USD 25 Million is now long gone due to poor planning, corrupt senior management and possible diverting of the loan amounts for personal gains.
