Use of CBI to fix political rivals ?
We pointed out on July 1 that 'Taj Corridor' Mayawati said that the CBI inquiries on Mulayam Singh Yadav's family and sympathisers had been put on hold and in turn, the SP has agreed to support the UPA government on the nuclear deal issue.
Now it is Pelion on Ossa for Mayawati as the CBI (rightly IMO) on Thursday filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court justifying the registration of a case against her. This was justified in the light of the continuing investigaton over the Taj Corridor scam.
The move comes at a time when the Congress and Mayawati’s arch rival, Mulayam Singh Yadav, have arrived at an understanding on the India-US nuclear deal, the affidavit is bound to raise questions about the use of the CBI by the government of the day to fix its political rivals.
IMO: Probably both Mayawati and Yadav are at fault. India has also the more important concern that 123 and related matters should be dealt with appropriately. The ruling Government usually is where the buck should stop on that one, but at the end of the day, the opinions of scientists and technocrats have to be considered clearly, as well as the political aspects. We have referred to those matters in this blog on July 5. The UK had once the situation that the entire police force was turning blue (due to dodgy uniform coloring), amusing to non police, because of political scamsters by then in the House of Lords, and two of the Lords (Lord Kagan and Lord Plurenden) went to jail. India crime officers are at least dealing wth some of the miscreants without having to be died blue first.
