I received fullest cooperation and guidance from Honorable Chairman Maj. Gen. Dr. R.M. Kharb AVSM, Honorable Minister and officials of Environment & Forest Ministry, Concerned Ministers & Officials of different States, Officials & Staff of Animal Welfare Board of India & love, affection, cooperation, support & Guidance from Honorable Vice Chairman & Co- Members in successful working. I could serve the assignment with best of my ability, but in turn antagonized with some very powerful, so called messiah of animal welfare, good orator but jealous personalities.
As In charge Karnataka & Kerala Regional Committee I was directed to carry out number of Inspections of AWOs. I gave genuine & factual reports free from any influence. In this course, where ever , I found closed, defunct organizations & misuse of Grant & Central Government Schemes. In this process report on PFA Trivuananthpuram, PFA Bangalore, PFA, Hubli, PFA Mysore were also submitted. In case, I have been provided Government Guest House orGovernment vehicle, it is saving Board or to theGovernment. More over, whether the persons, who aregenerating these allegations, are not getting these so कॉल्ड favors. I feel, I travel in better Car and stay in better होटल्स in my personal travel.
5. Attending function without invitation I attended ABC program meeting in Earnakulam though I was Guest of Honor, I went in my own Car & did not stayed in Govt. provided accommodation still one fellow member alleged that I attended the function with out invitation asked for Car & accommodation. In fact those Honorable members actually, were provided accommodation and vehicle. Of course, after I sent the copy of Invitation and proofs, these fellow members had to shut their mouth.
6. Calling Media to get photo and lime light What reply shall I give? In public life, can we avoid Media?If we speak worthy matter certainly, there will be more coverage. I am great full to Print & Electronic Media who gave such importance & covered me thanks to importance of issue and thanks to AWBI.
7. Taking bribe A false allegation only to tarnish the image. I challenge each Chairman Jul 28, 2007

Sub: Appeal for Justice
Respected Maj. Gen (Retd) Dr. R. M. Kharb, AVSM, Sir
First of all, I would like to congratulate you for the successful conduct of the General Meeting of the Board. The meeting was a well attended meeting witnessing the presence of 4 Members of Parliament, ex-officio Members from different Ministries / Departments, Invitees, Board Staff and officials and fellow Members. Deliberations made during the meeting would go a long way in serving the speechless animals and enhancing the activities of the Board under your able leadership. The decisions taken and resolutions passed in the meeting, I am sure are bound to bring more quality, efficiency and transparency in the working of the Animal Welfare Board of India. I would like to convey my special thanks to Hon'ble Vice-Chairman, Dr. V.N. Appaji Rao also, who also contributed a lot with his technical expertise and experience on numerous subjects the Board came across during the deliberations.
Sir, as your good self is aware that, on your directions, I have been contributing to the welfare of the speechless animals to the fullest of my capacity and caliber and even by putting my own personal works at a stake. During fulfilling one of such my assignment assigned by the Board, I even suffered life attack during the occasion of inspection of slaughterhouses wherein my vehicle suffered a heavy damage. However, with your blessings, I could escape the attack and could complete the inspections and furnish the reports well in time.
Sir, you know that, I have never step-back from any of the assignment entrusted to me by the Board. Moreover, I have been spending my own time and resources to accomplish the task given to me, be it the inspection of slaughterhouses in Karnataka & Kerala or stopping the mass killing of dogs in Kerala and Karnataka or streamlining the office system of AWBI or be it any assignment for welfare of staff. But, despite best efforts made by me and despite showing best results, I am sorry to say that I continued to face humiliation and disgrace from Hon'ble Member, Smt. Maneka Gandhi, MP (LS) for the reasons best known to her. She has been doing so since the day I became the Member of the Board, But I had ignored her just to save her and the Board from any inconvenience and also because I wanted the work of the Board to go on without any stumbling blocks. But during the recent meeting, the Hon'ble Member crossed all the limits of humiliating me and that too in the presence of the full Board wherein even representative of the Ministry were also present.
Your good self can imagine that how embracing it would have been for me, when such allegations were levied by the Hon'ble Member against me. Sir, I do not want to repeat the whole incident as your honour were present there. But for the sake of record, I would request you to kindly recollect that when Board was discussing Donation and contribution item, I offered Rs.51,000/- Donation for Goshalas which was received with round of applause by all Hon'ble Members present except by the above refereed respected Member SMT. Maneka Gandhi. Her derogatory remarks " Mr. Mittal- Whether this contribution is out of BRIBE received in Kakkur cattle race", had put me in a shock and in an absolute embracing situation. This slanderous & disparaging accusation was made directly naming and against me in the open Board. The same false remarks were repeated loudly despite my explaining the true position of the happenings. She also alleged that she has the photographs which proves that the cattle race was inaugurated by me in Kakur to which I objected and requested her to produce the same in front of the Board. But, instead of doing so she kept on repeating the same allegations.
Sir, You would kindly recollect that these allegations against me were levied against me by the Hon'ble Member around three months back also, on which Your honour had sought my comments. The matter was then even examined by the Executive Committee of the Board in its 102 nd Meeting held on 12-13 March, 2007 at Chennai and the Executive Committee of the Board had decided as under:
"Shri S.K. Mittal, Member, AWBI visited Ernakulam to witness and to take proper action on Kakoor Cattle Race on 25.02.07. He submitted a report to the Board on 26.02.07. The Chairman
brought to the notice of the EC Members an E-mail sent to him byMrs. Maneka Gandhi, MP and Member, AWBI and Mr. Yohannan Jose. Mr. Mittal's response to Mrs. Maneka Gandhi's e-mail was examined in detail by the Executive Committee
The Executive Committee unanimously concluded that the allegations lavelled against Shri S.K. Mittal were totally baseless, unfounded and unwarranted and that no further action is required for the present " .
Hon'ble Chairman may please note that even though the allegations levied against me regarding the Kakoor cattle race were already examined and rejected by the 102 nd EC as being baseless, unfounded and unwarranted, Hon'ble Member raised the same issue again even after the confirmation / ratification of the minutes of the 102nd EC Meeting by the full Board. Does it not tantamount to dishonoring the prestige / status of the committee of the Executive Members of the Animal Welfare Board of India.
This uncalled for and unparliamentarily behavior of Smt. Maneka Gandhi, I suppose had disturbed even other respected Member of the Board also, as you would have also observed Shri Rabindra Kumar Rana, MP (LS) walking out of the Meeting room showing his displeasure at Smt. Maneka Gandhi's conduct. I had seen similar expressions of displeasures on the faces of other Members also.
Hoping, you fully agree with what I had pen down above, I am continuing to vent my grievance further. The ill remarks made openly criticizing me would also have been recorded by the Steno as well as by the Secretary in their notebooks and would also have been recorded in the audio meant for recording the deliberations of the meeting. The slanderous and scandalous remarks meant to defame, malign, tarnish, damage and destroy my name, fame, goodwill, status & reputation in general and as an animal lover more so as the Member on the Prestigious Board of AWBI.
She has committed both civil and criminal defamation liable for damages & prosecution liquidated damages of unlimited amount. I have suffered mental agony for which I would request your goodself to initiate a suitable defamation suit against Smt. Maneka Gandhi for a claim of Rs. 5 Crore and on receipt the same amount shall be kept as a corpus fund and income from the same shall be utilized for the service of speechless animals.
I hope, you would accede to my request and render justice to me by initiating legal action as suggested above against Smt. Maneka Gandhi, which would be put such persons with malicious intention under check and would prevent further recurrence of humiliation to the incoming Members of the Board.
With highest regards
S.K. MITTAL T.M. Jacob and some part fall on me taking the सक्रिफिस of my Mobile. All certificates, letter of Mr. Jacob, my report etc are available with AWBI।
9।Broker of Meat Traders A false allegation to tarnish my image as a Gau Sevak. , I
am not a orthodox, vegetarianism propagator though I am pure Vegetarian and can not eat even onion & Garlic. If, s would had brokered for them, I would not had faced life attacks on me. Certainly. I am no one to force my eating habits on others. Number of FIR lodged by me and court cases butchers are facing and illegal slaughter houses are closed. The day, I will scarify my life for this cause, that day perhaps butchers will celebrate Dipawali / Id.
10. Propagating the names with whom I have shaken hands Etc In my resume, I have mentioned that I got inspiration from Great leader Smt. Indira Gandhi & these words have become a point of jealousy for some one. Can't s draft my resume as per my choice
11।Many disgraceful comments like Dhandhe wale……. Destroying Board…….. close to rulling party minister etc
Under unsound mind even they can allege that hon’ble Cabinet Minister i.e Hon’ble Prime Minister or StateMinister has taken bribe for nomination . But I am प्रौद of my family, my vocation, my party & my working
I am enclosing herewith my resume and Activities Report for your kind reference and perusal. I am ready to face any kind of scrutiny or enquiries as deemed fit and I request your kind honor that finding complaints bogus, baseless & false, proper legal action shall be initiated against complainants.
With highest regards
Yours in service to speechless animals
