The Karnataka government is indeed sensible to challenge the high court in Ms. Jayalalitha’s verdict. Her acquittal in disproportionate assets case. During the search conducted in this case a few years back, police personnel, team has witnessed the moveable property, news was flashed all over the country, media too was the witness. How can we deny this fact? And on what terms did the high court acquit her? The move by the government to move the supreme court in this regard is appreciable. Its a wake-up call for our politicians that it’s “no more tolerance” by us. These days we see more of this “Lalit Modi” link. Our leaders are very much interested in linking as many as possible involved. And the duty of the government?
To order an investigation. The SIT (Special Investigation Team) has been set up to probe this multiple issue. When it comes to ministers being part of it, then it has to be handled like any other common man(accused). In fact, the action taken against them has to be more stringent. Being people’s representative, they should be 1st to abide by the law. Lawmakers can’t take it light and be “lawbreakers”. And a permanent ban has to be imposed on these tainted Mantris.
Such imposters should not be allowed to contest during next tenure. A step towards clean politics is appreciated. The opposition parties will be very happy because the ruling leaders are under scanner (Lalit Leaks). Only solace the government gives the public is to demand resignation from Ms. Sushma Swaraj. Every job draws a line with regards like education, experience, age eligibility. Why not in the case of the contesting politicians? How long will our politics be filled with tarnished images? On 22nd this month we’ve seen a minister who was involved in “fake degree certificate”. And now we have Ms. Smriti Irani. From the time her portfolio was given her, news has been doing the rounds expressing the doubts of her qualification. Today’s news we have a gentleman, a freelance writer Mr. Ahmer Khan raising questions about her degree. Is it not mandatory for our government to check their eligibility before giving a prominent portfolio? Know whether a certain minister is qualified enough or not? She has given different details on her educational qualifications..How can this happen? Is she joking with our constitution? Under section 125A of the Representation of the People Act, She is liable to be penalised.
On moral grounds, will our dear Ms. Sushma Swaraj resign or Ms. Smriti Irani? Already, we have enough problems to solve. Is it necessary for these ministers to add to our existing owes? Other than leaving a bad example, what sort of legacy are our ministers leaving behind for our next generation leaders? To follow in their shadows? Can’t we leave behind a longing desire, a clean politics for them. Where the educated lot won’t dread to hear this words “politics’’ and “politicians”..lets think about it.
