Harsimrat Kaur Badal, Honble Minister, Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Panchsheel Bhawan, August Kranti Marg, New Delhi-110 049 Respected Madam, I hope this letter finds you in the best of health. At the outset I wish to congratulate you heartily for the spectacular electoral victory for BJ P and Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji. We all have been inspired by your passionate speeches and the tremendous resolve exhibited by you in your political career. I am confident that you have inspired millions of young Indians with your sincere conduct in Parliament. In these difficult times, Shri Modiji has reposed tremendous faith in your abilities entrusting you with a heavy ministry like Food Processing. It is only befitting of a committed leader like yourself to deliver on the expectations of millions of Indians. We would like to draw your attention to the daylight robbery of Rs. 5600 crores carried out with impunity by NSEL and FT Group. In one fell swoop this scam has hit 13000 investors. It has been more than 9 months since the scam broke out and since then various investors groups have been running from pillar to post for justice but to no avail. It is imperative to note that this scam was perpetrated under the garb of agri-commodity trading which was to help farmers raise money against their produce. A lot of the perpetrators of the scam namely LOIL group, Namdhari Agro, Ark Imports P. Ltd, Yathuri Associates, Lotus Refineries P. Ltd. etc. are entrenched in Punjab and have been claiming brazenly that they will be insulated from any proceedings because of their proximity to your party namely Shiromani Akali Dal. We urge you to kindly take swift action against such fraudsters who have looted the investors hard earned monies and are in turn maligning reputed political leaders from your party. Such elements must be given a clear and stern message from your side. At this juncture we are well aware of the tremendous responsibilities on you in steering the nation out of a deep crisis and we wish you all the luck and good wishes. We truly believe that with your immense knowledge and pragmatism you will exceed the expectations of 1.25 billion Indians. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, For NSEL I nvestors Forum Arun Dalmia
