Poor Caesar's wife. Totally misunderstood in India.

It is not a question of whether you handled black money yourself, but of ' sharam and izzat '. They convey a mixture of shame, pride, status, self respect and prestige. If you are having to deny that you were corrupt you have certainly lost your izzat, and if you then try to justify your actions by attacking others you have no sharam. " I sincerely believe that like Caesar's wife, the Prime Minister should be above suspicion," said Dr Manmohan Singh in parliament. In that case why have you taken a stay order from the Supreme Court to avoid summons from a Special Court looking into the scam in the allocation of coal mines. Former Minister of State for Coal, DN Rao and former Coal Secretary, HC Gupta swear that, being in charge of the Coal Ministry, you were fully informed of all allocations and that the final decisions rested with you. Whether you benefited financially from the scam is moot, but what is not in doubt is that you should stand tall and take responsibility. " It is not enough for the Prime Minister to say he is clean. It is his duty to ensure that his government is also corruption free," said Mr Amit Shah. Precisely. Caesar's wife, once more. Former Chairman of Trai, Pradip Baijal alleges that he was threatened by the CBI to cooperate with the 2G scam and asked to implicate former minister, Arun Shourie and industrialist, Ratan Tata. Baijal writes in his book that Singh asked him to cooperate with the minister. What is Manmohan Singh's response? " I can say in all humility that I have not used my public office to enrich myself, my family or to enrich my friends," he said. Oh yes, you did. Your reward was 10 full years as Prime Minister, living in great splendor, traveling all over at our expense and now living in an official bungalow, with full security, paid for by the taxpayer. As for your family, you took your son in law and grand children along with you and they were definitely not checked by Customs officers on return, so we do not know. But, even if we forgive you for the crimes of your cabinet we cannot forgive the rape of the economy while you were in charge. " I was totally amazed at the non-economist attitude of an economist prime minister and also of his harmful political attitude towards the economy," writes Baijal. Devastating indictment. You were ready to compromise your education, your greatest asset, to suck up to vested interests so that you could hang on to your chair. How can you even dare to say," If you look at the harsh realities, you will find all is not well with the state of the economy under the BJP dispensation." Either you think that every Indian is stupid and does not understand the enormous harm you did to the nation or you do not understand that being blind to the crimes of others makes you an accessory. It is not jurisprudence, it is what mothers teach. Poor Caesar's wife. So misunderstood.
