At last the government has put the final nail in the Bofors farce by asking Interpol to withdraw its red corner notice against Quattrocchi. This insulting farce has been going on for decades costing the country billions of rupees. There was never any chance of the fellow having to face any sort of justice just as there has never been any punishment for the murderers of sikhs after Indira Gandhi's assassination. Probably the Congress party is not sure of forming the next government and wanted to finally end the matter for the countryman before the election results are published. The point to note is that nothing was done during the five years that the BJP was in government just as nothing has been done on Tehelka or the Kargil coffins scam during the five years of this government. Today political parties are gangs of dishonourable, lying scoundrels and do not want to start a gang war between each other. It is possible that if results are borderline the Congress and the BJP may form a coalition to form a government. Arresting and jailing criminals belonging to the other side may result in tit for tat prosecutions when the other side comes to power. That would be debilitating for each gang and half the members might end up serving time. Horror of horrors the court might not allow them to stand for election again. How would they loot the exchequer and pass on the mantle to their drug taking, murderous children if that happened? The only gainers in this insulting farce were the CBI sleuths who went all over the world eating, drinking and enjoying the pleasures of expensive resorts while failing to catch him every time. I hope they have brought nice souvenirs to remind of the pleasures they enjoyed at taxpayers' expense.
