Apropos WIC home page ( 2nd Oct ,2015) “ Yeh waala Jhadoo daale gandh... MMS says all Coal files he did not read!... Or may be Sonia's orders he did heed files for her to see…”, serves as the wake up call.
Let us analyse CBI’s cleanchit to Manmohan Singh in coalgate scam.
The moot point is: How could the CBI ignore the Principle of Equality before Law. Whither Constitutional guarantee? All accused must be treated similarly.
MMS’s rhetorics like: “I have respect for judicial processes“ … ; “ I am open for legal scrutiny”… ; “Truth will prevail”… ; I will get a chance to put forward my case with full facts” … , are political gimmicks. These do not absolve him from his responsibilities as ex- Coal Minister in deciding illegal allocation of coal blocks in Jharkhand to Navin Jindal group of firms.
CBI’s argument that perusal of coalgate files notings and MMS’s non-interference with screening committee’s recommendations, did not suggest his complicity, does not stand to reason. Atrocious interpretation
It was an open secret that MMS took all decisions under oral directions of the Congress “ High command “. But, it does not mean that he was precluded from perusing files and applying his mind before putting his signatures. He has to pay for the sins committed by the Congress party whose credibility is at the lowest ebb.
Another crucial omission by the CBI.Did the Principal Secretary and Secretary to ex-PM fail to advise the boss about financial impropriety of decisions? Were they under pressure? If so, then, from whom? If top officials are not grilled now , they will not be spared by defence counsels of other accused during court proceedings. A dangerous portent. There is a growing suspicion of a grand conspiracy behind saving the high and mighty. One trusts, the CBI is no longer the caged parrot?
