JKCA mess, more skeletons coming out, no escape route for Goni
JAMMU: The cricket scam in Jammu and Kashmir is getting murkier.
This correspondent has accessed some important documents which link Union Minister and National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah and his political secretary who is also chairman of the association Aslam Goni to the scam.
The documents with this correspondent reveal how bogus accounts were opened to siphon off funds from the BCCI. The documents, which include Bank statements of two bogus/ parallel accounts, show that Rs. 13, 29,68067 (from 13-05-2006 to 09-03-2012) and Rs. 18,56,53,812 (from 21-06-2008-10-03-2012) have been withdrawn from Khanyar and Air Cargo branches of J&K Bank respectively and interestingly this huge amount has not been projected in the audit reports of 2009-10 and 2010-11 of the association nor there is any mention of these accounts anywhere in the office records of the JKCA.
What is more interesting to note is that the President of JKCA Dr. Farooq Abdullah has been made to sign both the audit reports when it was not mandatory for him to become signatory to the audit reports as provided in the constitution of the association. While on the other hand the association has to reimburse the so called loan of Rs. 1.90Crore credited to the account of Ahsan Mirza who is at the centre stage of the controversy with the interest and the amount due as on 10-03-2012 is 2,98,99010.
There is no mention of these twin bogus accounts viz GAC No. 90606 branch Khanyar and 11554 Air Cargo branch Srinagar in the audit reports of 2099-10 and 2010-11.
Now the question remains is Ahsan Mirza alone responsible for this huge financial irregularity in JKCA or is it with the connivance of other office bearers which include JKCA president Dr. Farooq Abdullah and chairman Muhammad Aslam Goni. Documents available with this correspondent clearly show that since 2002-03 the association has been overtly or covertly managing Ahsan Mirza's place in the association in gross violation of the constitution. In 2002-03 Mukhtar Ahmad Kant was elected as Treasures of the association, however, he was shown exit only after six moths of his election and Ahsan Mirza was appointed illegally to the post and it is from here that a tacit understanding was built- up to misappropriate hundreds of Crores coming regularly from BCCI and for this some bogus accounts were opened to adjust the BCCI funding in these accounts.
In 2006 Mir Manzoor Gazanfer was elected as Treasurer of the association, however, he was not given on the charge on the plea that court had issued a notice to him and interestingly the letter was sent to the then General Secretary of the association Saleem Khan by non other than Dr. Farooq Abdullah and in the same letter Ahsan Mirza to continue as Treasurer JKCA.
This time Mehboob Iqbal was elected as chairman of the association and Aslam Goni continued to function as working president. However, in March l 2009, Mehboob Iqbal was asked not to attend the Working Committee meeting and the message was conveyed to Iqbal by non other than Goni on behalf of the president. In the same meeting dates for fresh elections were announced and Mehboob was barred from contesting the elections and the elections were held on 14-04-2009. Dr. Abdullah was elected as President, Romesh Mahajan Working President, M Aslam Goni Chairman, Saleem Khan General Secretary and Ahsan Mirza Treasures JKCA.
On Jun 23rd, 2011 elections were again held and Ahsan Mirza was elected General Secretary with Aslam Goni as Chairman and Manzoor Ahmad Wazir Treasurer of the association.
Now let us see how Ahsan was managed to continue to deal with the finances. With a cursor look on two resolution of April 4, 2009 and Jun24, 2011 of the association, it becomes emphatically clear that to keep Ahsan Mirza in picture overtly or covertly Goni has managed Dr. Abdullah's signatures on both the resolution which are contradicting each other.
Resolution dated April14, 2009 reads: As per the constitution any one office bearers out of Chairman and General Secretary is authorized to operate thje bank accounts along with the Treasurer, whose signature is a must. At that time Goni was Chairman and Ahsan Mirza the
Treasurer of the JKCA.
Now come to the Resolution dated June 14, 2011 which reads ....any of the two office bearers will be authorized to operate bank accounts on behalf of the association under the joint signatures of any two of the three office bearers viz. Chairman, General Secretary and the Treasurer. At that point of time Goni was the chairman and Ahsan Mirza General Secretary of the association. If according to the resolution of April14, 2009 signatures of Treasurer was a must why was it not so when the Resolution of June 24, 2011 when Mirza was not Treasurer but was holding the charge of General Secretary while as Manzoor Ahmad Wazior was Treasurer.
This clearly shows that Goni has not only managed the place for Ahsan Mirza in order to embezzle the hundreds of crores coming from BCCI but has also smartly ditched Dr. Farooq Abdullah by getting his signatures on all frauds. It can be other way round with Farooq as one of the beneficiaries.
