00:00:06,758 --> 00:00:22,468
Pal pal pal pal...(Phone rings)

00:00:22,468 --> 00:00:25,163
Niira Radia: Hello.
Manoj Modi: Hi, Niira.

3
00:00:25,163 --> 00:00:27,116
NR: Hi.
MM: How are you?

4
00:00:27,116 --> 00:00:32,818
NR: I'm fine, Manoj, how are you?
MM: I'm fine. This, Raja is with me...

5
00:00:32,818 --> 00:00:41,266
NR: Uh huh.
MM: We were just discussing about this...our litigation, demerger and some other PIL he has in mind.

6
00:00:41,266 --> 00:00:53,308
NR: <i>Haan.</i>
MM: Now this NGO, you are sure no, because see, we have this one NGO, that Ramjibhai Mavani, who had done earlier for our power business...

7
00:00:53,308 --> 00:00:58,305
NR: <i>Haan.</i> (Yes.)
MM: And second, the one that you have identified from Delhi.

8
00:00:58,305 --> 00:01:03,706
NR: Hmm.
MM: So I am fine with either, whatever is your comfort and preference.

9
00:01:03,706 --> 00:01:16,898
NR: Well my feedback on these people is quite good, I mean, I've understood them and they're quite okay, I don't get a sense that there is anything uh...I don't think there's anything to worry about.

10
00:01:16,898 --> 00:01:38,846
MM: <i>Haan,</i> so, because see, like this Rajkot guys <i>toh</i> we know that nothing will go wrong, and here also even if it doesn't go wrong, it is better to have a new person involved. But if you have even iota of doubt then we should look here, because this is going to be a very high-profile and high-tensile case.

11
00:01:38,846 --> 00:01:50,238
NR: Well, they are already registered <i>na,</i> Manoj, with the uh...they are a registered NGO.
MM: No, that is fine, registered NGO is fine, but they should not back out <i>na,</i> (no,) at a later -

12
00:01:50,238 --> 00:02:03,876
NR: No, Manoj, I...to be honest with you, I don't know them personally, I know the guy, though. I've had him spoken to from somebody very, very...who he listens to and I don't think he'll ever go back on his word.
MM: You don't know them personally?

13
00:02:03,876 --> 00:02:25,434
NR: No, I know who...the guy who owns the...one of them, I know one of them, there are five of them there. The other gentleman is a JNU guy, I don't think he'll backtrack. I think he's extremely credible from what I've got his reference check on him, they're serious guys. <i>Inhone</i> DLF <i>kiya tha,</i> DLF <i>ne pura inke upar zor laga liya tha, lekin unhone</i> revert...they did not go back. (They did DLF, DLF put pressure on them but they did not go back.) Even when they offered them money.

14
00:02:25,434 --> 00:02:40,027
MM: Why don't you do your due diligence and finally, I'll go...
NR: I've done, I've done that. That's why I only approached it when I did the due diligence. So when I saw <i>ki isne</i> DLF <i>ke saath</i> backtrack <i>nahin kiya hai</i> (So when I saw that they did not backtrack with DLF), and I know the sort of the pressure DLF had put on them...

15
00:02:40,027 --> 00:02:52,406
MM: Anyway, DLF <i>ka</i> pressure <i>ek rahta hai,</i> (Anyway, DLF's pressure is one thing,) you know I don't have to tell you anything about our guys <i>na,</i> our guys (put) more pressure.
NR: <i>Haan, haan,</i> (Yes, yes,) Manoj, my sense is very...how much time do we have?

16
00:02:52,406 --> 00:03:04,873
MM: (discusses with Raja) Raja?
Raja: (muffled) - next 2-3 days...
MM: Next 2-3 days, you have to decide, so I will go by your judgment finally. See I, I mean, we want to do 2-3-4 things, we have to...

17
00:03:04,873 --> 00:03:17,167
NR: Manoj <i>main usko</i> personally <i>nahin jaanti</i> but <i>mujhe</i> doubt <i>nahin hai uske upar.</i> (Manoj, I don't know him personally but I have no doubts about him.) I can tell you that because I think the guy's credible, comes from very credible background. And I don't think he's the sort of guy to manoeuvre.

18
00:03:17,167 --> 00:03:21,031
Raja/MM: Niira, if there is more than one, there should not be a pressure on others and all that, that is...

19
00:03:21,031 --> 00:03:40,065
NR: <i>Nahin nahin nahin nahin nahin</i> (No, no no no no no)...basically the key guys are three of them, of which I know one very well personally. That I can tell you <i>uska, woh kabhi nahin</i> backtrack <i>karega, doosra </i>JNU <i>ka hai,</i> very credible man, <i>sardar hai, woh hilega nahin aise. I don't think so <i>woh hilega.</i> Mujhe bilkul nahin uske upar</i> doubt. (That I can tell you about him, he will never backtrack, the other guy is from JNU, very credible man, he's a sardar, he won't waver. I have no doubts about him.)

20
00:03:40,065 --> 00:03:51,156
NR: <i>Aur</i>(And) the third guy is absolutely cool. And he knows my, one of my employees, Daljeet, very well. That's how this whole thing got put together. So when he came to me with the names, I did a check on them.

21
00:03:51,156 --> 00:04:04,117
NR: Then I made Sunil Arora talk to them, <i>kyunki woh</i> Sunil <i>ko bahut achchhi tarah se jaante hain</i> (because he knows Sunil very well).  And I know when Sunil steps in...whenever he's given me a reference, he's never been wrong, Manoj. At least till today, I've never seen, <i>mujhe koi</i> doubt <i>nahin hai inpe.</i> (I have no doubts about them.)

22
00:04:04,117 --> 00:04:16,747
MM: Because see, just so that you know, when we were doing this Power, they had gone to Ramjibhai Mavani also. They had reached his home and taken all kinds of bags.
NR: <i>Haan, haan,</i> (Yes, yes) I understand that, I understand <i>woh karenge, maine yeh sab soch ke hi kiya tha</i> Manoj. (I understand that they'll do that, I thought about this and then took a course of action, Manoj.)

23
00:04:16,747 --> 00:04:43,536
MM: <i>Haan toh woh,</i> (Yes, so that), see because <i>kya hai,</i> in this case it is so important for us, you understand. So my preference is to do with them primarily because I don't want the same guy to do it directly, then another...we want to have another general feel/PIL (?) also that we will have uh them uh do it.
NR: <i>Donon se kar lete hain na </i>Manoj, <i>yeh bhi aayega na, yeh bhi to hai na.</i> (Let's get it done from both, no, Manoj. He'll also come no, he's there too.)

24
00:04:43,536 --> 00:04:52,230
MM: <i>Haan, haan,</i> means <i>apne ko toh do-teen cheez karni hai, to har ek cheez alag alag aadmi se lade toh</i> better <i>hai na.</i> (Yes yes, I mean, we have to do two-three things, so if we fight each thing with a different man, it'll be better, won't it.)
NR: <i>Better hai</i>,(It's better) much better, otherwise it doesn't become credible na?

25
00:04:52,230 --> 00:05:08,243
MM: That is what I'm saying, that is precisely what I'm saying. <i>Isliye aap ek baar phir bhi,</i> (So for this reason you please once more) you...finish your Vaishno Devi visit. And then during that time you just assess it once more, in your mind also, doesn't matter, you think about it.
NR: Okay.

26
00:05:08,243 --> 00:05:18,516
MM: Then Raja will go ahead and file, because Raja, I'm giving him all the green signal for going and getting all the documents ready and petitions ready and everything.
NR: Hmm.

27
00:05:18,516 --> 00:05:25,840
MM: Hmm?
NR: Hmm, perfect, what I'll do is I'll also talk to my team also, and I'll speak to Sunil one more time, <i>mujhe</i> (I) -
