Title: Regarding non-execution of the search warrant against the cricketer by the Income Tax authorities in connection with match fixing case.
श्री रामजीलाल सुमन : अध्यक्ष महोदय, हम लोगों ने जो नोटिस दिये हैं, उनका क्या हुआ?
अध्यक्ष महोदय : मैंने श्री राशिद अलवी को बुलाया है।
श्री राशिद अलवी (अमरोहा) : मैं सरकार की तवज्जह देश के एक बहुत इम्पोर्टेंट मामले की तरफ दिलाना चाहता हूं। …( व्यवधान)
MR. SPEAKER: It is coming one by one.
श्री राशिद अलवी : पिछले कई महीनों से मैच फिक्िंसग इस देश के अखबारों के पहले सफे पर छपता रहा है। अभी सरकार ने बहुत सारे क्रिकेटर्स पर इन्कम टैक्स और सी.बी.आई. ने मिलकर रेड्स किये हैं।
हैरतअंगेज हद तक सौ-सौ करोड़ रुपए की एफ.डी. उनके घरों से बरामद हुई हैं। इस देश की नई जैनरेशन की सेंटीमेंट्स इन मैचेज़ से हमेशा जुड़ी रही हैं। जब भी दुनिया के किसी मुल्क में हमारी टीम खेलती है, इस देश का बड़ा हिस्सा नमाज पढ़ता है, मंदिरों में जाता है और दुआ करता है अपनी टीम के जीतने की, लेकिन यह इस देश की बदकिस्मती है कि यह कांड हुआ। संसदीय कार्य मंत्री जी यहां बैठे हुए हैं। मैं उनसे पूछना चाहूंगा, मेरी इत्तला के मुताबिक एक क्रिकेटर के घर पर इनकम टैक्स आफिसर्स रेड करना चाहते थे, सर्च वारंट इश्यू हो गया था, ऐसा कभी नहीं हुआ कि सर्च वारंट एक्ज़ीक्यूट न हुआ हो।
It is for the first time that search warrant was not executed under the influence of the President of one of the allies of this Government. … (Interruptions)
SHRI SOMNATH CHATTERJEE : From the Defence Minister’s house.
SHRI RASHID ALVI : From the Defence Minister’s house.

अध्यक्ष महोदय : आप बैठ जाएं।
श्री रघुनाथ झा : बैठ जाऊंगा, लेकिन ये सही नहीं कह रहे हैं। ये क्या दूध के धुले हुए हैं ? ये इस सदन के सदस्य के ऊपर आरोप लगा रहे हैं…( व्यवधान)
अध्यक्ष महोदय : आप बैठ जाएं। इसका जवाब सरकार देगी, आप नहीं।
श्री रघुनाथ झा : ये सदन के सदस्य पर इल्जाम लगा रहे हैं। हम भी मायावती जी पर हमला बोलेंगे।…( व्यवधान)
श्री राशिद अलवी : हम धमकियों में नहीं आने वाले…( व्यवधान)

SHRI RASHID ALVI: Sir, let me complete. … (Interruptions)
SHRI SOMNATH CHATTERJEE ( Bolpur): This is a very serious matter that the President of one of the parties in the Government has threatened the Ministers’ of this Government and forced stoppage of the investigation. I am not saying that any particular cricketer is guilty or not. I am not in a position to say that. But the question of propriety and the Government’s functioning are involved. How can, from the house of a Minister of the Government, the income tax authorities be stopped and threatened? The President of the party said that it is `my Government and I will not allow this to happen’. They cannot behave in this manner. Even officers have been threatened. They have been asked to withdraw. I would like to know whether laws would apply differently to different people. … (Interruptions) Is this the way this country will be run? … (Interruptions)
श्री अशोक प्रधान (खुर्जा) : ये असत्य कह रहे हैं…( व्यवधान)

… (Interruptions)
SHRI RASHID ALVI : Sir, let me complete first. They have been disturbing me and you are not allowing me to speak. This is not proper, Sir.
MR. SPEAKER: Please take your seat. You have taken more than five minutes. There are other Members also to speak.
… (Interruptions)
श्री रघुनाथ झा : अध्यक्ष महोदय, आपके चैम्बर में बात होती है कि एक विषय पर एक ही आदमी बोलेगा।…( व्यवधान)

MR. SPEAKER: Hon. Members, if you behave like this, it will be very difficult to run the House. I am telling you frankly. The entire nation is watching us. How we are behaving in the House, the entire country is watching. You are not bothered about anything. What is this? How can I accommodate all the Members at a time? Now nothing should go on record except what Shri Acharia says.

SHRI BASU DEB ACHARIA : The Income-tax officials were asked to come back and not to go ahead with the raid. … (Interruptions) Who issued that order as to not to raid the house of the President of the Samata Party? This sort of a thing has never happened in our country. … (Interruptions)

MR. SPEAKER : Nothing should go on record except what Shri Basu Deb Acharia is saying.
(Interruptions)*
SHRI BASU DEB ACHARIA : Sir, the residence of the Defence Minister has been used or rather mis-used for making the press statement by the President of the Samata Party. She has rather threatened the Minister of State for Finance Shri Dhananjay Kumar and the Minister of Sports Shri Sukh Dev Singh Dhindsa and she made a statement that these two Ministers are interfering in the inquiry which is being conducted in regard to the match-fixing. … (Interruptions)
