Missing Top Secret File- $10 Billion Contract

The RM has announced tough action against the culprits responsible for the Missing File. In Feb 2010, a similar loss took place. The person responsible then was punished by sending him as the Governor of West Bengal. There are three States which are due for change / appointment of Governors. Let us see who the lucky culprit would be!!

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CHINESE HACKERS
.
Two weeks back, the English News Channels vied with each other in cracking a sensational story of the Chinese Govt employing professional Hackers to get ingress into the sensitive PMO’s Office Computers. The media fell silent in just a few days, after the so called scoop. I will just give a glimpse of the background, as reported by Tamil Bi Weekly Magazine, 'Junior Vikatan'.
.
The piece centres around MK Narayanan, former National Security Adviser (NSA) to the PM & the Home Minister (HM) P Chidambaram. The crux of the problem was that MK Narayanan, in his very long tenure in the IB & later as the NSA, was close to Indra Gandhi as well as Rajiv Gandhi. With this connection & also with the present set up under the UPA Govt, he liberally sprinkled the important offices in the Centre, with his friends from Kerala. The man who was close to the PM & Sonia Gandhi, for the first time in many years, has been shunted out of Delhi as the Governor of West Bengal . The Media was asked to give a hype stating that he will be right choice in dealing with the Naxalite Problems of the East, including West Bengal . But the common public did not buy this theory. After all, they are by now fully informed of the failures of both the NSA & the then Home Minister, Shivraj Patil, during the 26/11 Bombay fiasco.
.
When P Chidambaram took over as the HM, he took up with the PM that as the HM, he will be responsible for the Internal Security of the Nation & the NSA should confine himself with the strategy pertaining to the External Threats alone. This policy was approved & the heads of RAW & IB were ordered to report to the Home Minister on Internal Security matters, which earlier they were doing with the NSA. By virtue of protocol, some of the Meetings in which the NSA had to take part, were chaired by the HM. Therefore, a cold war started between the two.
.
The climax came a few weeks later. In one such Meetings, the NSA carried with him a file containing highly classified information. After the Meeting he left the file there itself, probably due to memory loss. The file went missing. When the loss was discovered, the NSA put the blame on one of his staff members & that poor soul was dismissed from the Service. Ahamed Patel, who is the political Adviser to Sonia Gandhi had brought this lapse to the attention of Sonia as well as Rahul Gandhi. They did not view it lightly. The fate of NSA was sealed then & there.

  1. Now, connect this with the entering of the scene, by the Chinese Hackers. In case some sensitive information had already leaked to our neighbours, due to the missing file, the Intelligence Agencies devised a plan to insulate themselves form the damage to their reputation. So, they resorted to the selective leak to the media, about the Chinese Govt trying to fish out sensitive information from the PMO’ Office. The hackers may be having a good laugh, since most probably the missing file is already in their hand.
