Why a public apology to Azim Premji has appeared in newspapers

 R Subramanian, the founder of the Subhiksha group of retail stores, has issued an apology for harassment caused to Premji, his wife Yasmeen Premji and a few others.


After a maze of frivolous litigation cases against Azim Premji and others was recently closed by the Supreme Court, R Subramanian — former head of retail chain Subhiksha who had filed the cases — has issued a public apology for “harassing” the ex-Wipro chairman and others. Subramanian and his associate, representatives of India Awake for Transparency, were convicted for contempt of court by the Karnataka High Court for filing frivolous cases against Wipro Limited founder and chairman Azim Premji, between April 2016 and December 2020.

His public apology, which was published in most national dailies, said that Subramanian offered an “unconditional and unreserved apology” for harassment caused to Premji, his wife Yasmeen Premji, the management of Wipro, along with a few others. “I categorically admit that all these proceedings/ complaints/ representations, and the allegations contained therein were founded on incorrect understanding of facts and legal provisions and the same should never have been made at all,” it states. Subramanian further said that following an undertaking to the Supreme Court, he would not file any further litigation under any grounds against Premji and others.


Subhiksha once had over 2,000 stores across the country, before the chain collapsed in 2009. A few months before the chain’s collapse, Azim Premji had bought a 10% stake in Subhiksha in 2008 through his personal investment arm. Things later went awry as Subhiksha struggled to operate its stores and reportedly defaulted on vendor payments. According to reports, Azim Premji had then said that “investing in Subhiksha was a mistake and a lot of money has been siphoned off”. Subramanian has faced several cases since then, and has also slapped several on Azim Premji. In 2013, Subramanian even filed a Rs 500 crore defamation suit on Premji.

Service to Erdogan Horns of the Qatari regime distort the Kurds

Image
In the framework of the policies adopted by the regime of Recep Erdogan against the Kurds, and in continuation of the scheme of distortion practiced against the Kurds of Syria, the regime of Tamim bin Hamad facilitates the Turkish mission, by directing his orders to the media, to spread false news about the Kurds of Syria. This malicious policy, in which Tamim bin Hamad tries to support the ruler of Ankara, is part of a plan to pave the ground for striking the Kurds of Syria and launching air strikes against them, without any media shed on these raids, or to show the matter as if it was retaliation against The Kurds. The plan is a natural reflection of Recep Erdogan's policies that undermine nationalism and spread racist policies, while trying to change the demographic equation, especially as the Kurds rejected Erdogan's sabotage project in Syria. The refusal of the Kurds to i mplement Erdogan's wishes, and their support for the independence and sovereignty of the Syrian ...
