People are so naive.

As predicted Mr Sajjan Kumar was acquitted of any guilt in the killing of over 5,000 Sikhs following the shooting of Mrs Indira Gandhi in 1984. A man is reported to have flung a shoe at the judge. People are entitled to be angry at the lack of any justice for the massacre of so many innocents but surely no one should have expected anyone from Congress ever to be punished. Former Telecom Minister, Sukh Ram was caught red handed with Rs 36 million stuffed in bags and suitcases in 1996, has been convicted and sentenced to 3 years in prison but is he in jail yet? Note how quickly the CBI moved against the BJP in Gujarat after the riots of 2002 in an effort to neutralise Mr Modi so that he cannot be a challenge to Mr Rahul Gandhi for the post of Prime Minister. Last year the Comptroller and Auditor General of India submitted a report in which he stated that coal mines allocated to private companies between 2004 and 2006 resulted in windfall gains to the companies in excess of Rs 1 trillion. The Supreme Court asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate the Coalgate scam. On 26 April 2013, the CBI Director submitted a report to the Supreme Court on the status of the investigation without telling the court that the report had been shown to the Law Minister, Ashwani Kumar. On 30 April the Director of the CBI, Ranjit Sinha admitted that changes had been made to the draft report but denied wrong doing. He maintained that the CBI is not an " autonomous organisation " but is a department of the government and as such the Law Minister was entitled to see the draft report. The Additional Solicitor General, Hiren Raval, who appeared for the CBI and assured the Supreme Court that the CBI was carrying out an independent investigation, has now resigned. He has written to the Attorney General, GE Vahanvati accusing him of trying to influence the probe. He says that he received a SMS from Mr Vahanvati on 5 March to reach the Law Minister's office with the draft report where both the CBI Director and Mr Vahanvati were present. Mr Raval thinks that he is being made a scapegoat. The CBI blamed Mr Raval for " overstepping " his brief and replaced him with senior advocate UU Lalit. The judges are said to be upset at this blatant interference by the government into what it assumed would be an independent investigation. The honorable judges are so innocent. Did they really think that the justice system in India is at all relevant? The Finance Minister, P Chidambaram's election on 16 May 2009 has been challenged by his opponent Mr Kannappan who claims that he received 3,34,348 votes but his votes were transferred to Mr Chidambaram who received 3,30,994 votes but won by 3,354 votes. The case is still ongoing while the next elections are due making it completely irrelevant. We are stupid to expect justice.
