Former President of Israel, Moshe Katsav has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for rape and sexual assaults. His punishment is for assaults and rape of a few women but in India politicians are regularly raping the country and assaulting the constitution with complete impunity. Exposures by Wikileaks of cables by US diplomats show a Member of the Rajya Sabha bragging about bribing some members of the opposition to win a trust vote in 2008. Answering to the leaks the Prime Minister said that he could not " confirm the veracity, contents or even the existence of such communications." In response Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange said, " The comments I have been hearing from Prime Minister Singh these, to me, seem to be a deliberate attempt to mislead the public by suggesting that governments around the world do not accept the material." He further said, " A man who is innocent does not behave like that. That doesn't mean people making those statements like Prime Minister Singh and so on are guilty of this particular crime." What Assange is implying is that our most revered Prime Minister is lying his head off. Well we are used to Indian politicians lying after committing the most heinous crimes. After all what criminal is going to plead he is guilty.
