It is not hard to see why this person Veena Batnagar joined Bainimarama,Khaiyum and the Fiji First gang. She is also a bird of a similar feather. The unscrupulous kind!
She is sota vata !

I qoute: 'I am joing FF party since I could not accept the lies being circulated about FF. I cannot accept how much oppostion is misleading the people about the cost of living, price of milk and other things. I clean the areas around my radio station, why cant other politicians do the same'. So this is the type of cleaning Madam Bhatnagar is doing-cleaning the country off its $$. GOOD ONE MADAM. Keep it up

you are correct, i am a frequent traveller and the departure form clearly states 10k FJD or equivalent. i am all for journalism but articles full of lies just goes to show the calibre of the editor. just to clarify the Hon Minister travelled to NZ on 12Dec14 from Nausori...i was on the same flight.........

We would be very grateful if you could provide a correct name rather then cooking up the name "Victor" and posting your comment from Auckland, New Zealand. Thanks.

provide email address and I will send you my birth certificate. I do not hide behind false names or try to hide my IP details by using companies like Perfect Privacy to mislead people.......be transparent if you have the guts. Also publish tangible proof before pointing fingers. if you have evidence (after from false news) I challenge you to publish details from Fiji Revenue and Customs

The madam needs to clean up the cobweb in her thinking apparatus so she can see clearly who have been doing all the lying and I deceit in Fiji for the past 8 years. It's the people she has joined up with!
What an idiotic woman!

There is an ole Indian saying which goes like “Apne Aadat Se Lalchar Bandhar Topi Koh Dia”

Just when we thought, eh…but it’s just all the usual suspects… when whoops pops smiling Ms. Hon. Batnagar smuggling black money to New Zealand…What a Corrupt lot is this??

Batnagar showed her first signs of sneakiness in interviewing Aiyaz/Biman, when she in collusion with Khaiyum had prior (and undisclosed) knowledge of her FF candidacy and yet in a total ‘conflict of interest’ situation she continued with the interview – unprofessionally and unethically.

What goes around comes around – Now this is her (second) deliberate non-disclosure of material FACT- that of not declaring the amount of Fijian currency she is carrying out of the country. She thought she will get away, again, as she had in the past.

Ignorance is no plea to Hon. Members of our Legislature, where LAWs of the land are deliberated and formed – Hon. Ms.Batnagar.

Guilty as Charged.

Shameless Lot

They (Chor Party) show no remorse for what they do, Like they have no shame (or self-respect) in knowingly diddling the system to cunningly self-enrich - and in the process being totally unprofessional, unethical and immoral.

Don't Forget

We also have Hon. Praveen Bala who has had so much difficulty proving his innocence (alleged of drunk driving and killing a Pedestrian), unable to find a Magistrate to hear his case- even CJ Gates (who allegedly diddled his transportation allowances- GatesGate) has not helped.

Ka Bole Raj?

And what would the Raja of MIDA , in the hindsight, have to say about the ‘conflict of interest’ in Batnagar/Aiyaz/Biman interview. Sweet nothing, we suppose!

That interview is a classic example of how Aiyaz manipulates FBC (as if he owns it) for his own conceit / deceit purposes, for propaganda, LIES and Misinformation.

I Agree...

What a laughingstock this government (with a STOLEN name) is becoming.

Birman is making a fool of himself. Nfp joining hands with sodelta will kill the party come 2018.

Prem Singh should take over but his deals with sacked nadi ceo and avoiding $78k in rates will also kill him. Nfp should ask its legal advisor Richard naidu to be its leader.

Thanks Victor for naming and shaming, although whether this motley crew can be shamed is another matter. you cant shame the shameless. Didiji Veena comes across as someone with holier-than-thou; 'I can do no wrong, I am perfect' attitude.

She should face the full brunt of the law.

How much allowed to carry link

19/12/2014 04:55:21 am

Seems the dumb assistant minister doesn't understand policies on how much money one can take. Like some who also commented here. You are allowed to carry $10,000 declared cash (stamped on passport) and $500 in hand only.

Customs Officer

She was trying to smuggle $3,500 in cash which she had not declared to us!
