As the nail-biting finale to the INX Media corruption case is drawing near, another episode of the sordid corruption saga of Congress is coming to passe. While the ex-FM and ex-HM went missing and CBI and ED are in hot pursuit, the drama in political space is no less than a Bollywood potboiler. A battery of Congressmen-lawyars are going from pillar to post in Supreme Court in order to save one of their own from the ignominy of jail.
While the lawyers mouth high sounding words such as constitutional principles and right to bail, one is reminded of the senseless loot of the taxpayers' money and natural resources by suave, glib-talking well-dressed congressmen.
Starting from their boss , mini- boss and the boss-in-law to the underlings of the kitchen advisors, all partook of the national exchequer as if it belonged to their forefathers.
Mr Chidambaram, an astute lawyer that he is had resorted to the rigmarole of arms length corruption; he is there but he is not there. Finally when after a painstaking investigation spanning several countries the CBI and the ED eventually was able to nail the father-son duo and when the mighty former FM refused to cooperate then only the agencies moved for custodial interrogation. But in his case it seems like the due process of law is being stretched to its limit.
Similar was the situation in National Herald take over case where the Gandhis were forced to appear before the court and request bail.
People should remember the dozen a day scams during the decade of UPA rule which cost them the election. 2G, CWG, Augusta, Coal Scam and many more.
Now that the Modi Govt had given the agencies a free hand and they are doing their duty, the tainted congressis are crying vendetta.
The fact of the matter is, a new age of accountability has dawned and nobody who has indulged in any wrong doing would be spared. Better be prepared to face the music than cry wolf.
