Lies, rioting, tampering with evidence, abject sycophancy, Indian politicians will dive into any putrid cesspit for personal gain. P Chidambaram, who was Minister of Finance and Home in the previous Congress government, personally doctored a file, used for an affidavit in the Supreme Court, to delete any connection between Ishrat Jahan and the LeT, a terrorist organisation based in Pakistan. That surely makes him guilty of perjury, contempt of court, tampering with evidence and treason, for assisting terrorists. Recently, students in JNU have been shouting anti-Indian slogans for the hanging of Afzal Guru, implicated in the attack on our parliament in 2001. To murky waters further Chidambaram said that " one can hold an honest opinion that the (Afzal Guru's) hanging was not correctly decided." Really? Guru was hanged in 2013 when the Congress was in power and, being a lawyer, surely he should have voiced his doubts then. Why is he so slimy? Because unless you lick boots of party leaders you will not be appointed minister, which is when you rake in the moolah, or president, which puts you above the law for life. So overwhelming is the greed for power that they will incite riots, resulting in deaths, rapes and destruction of property worth billions of rupees as happened in Haryana recently. After the shooting of Indira Gandhi Sajjan Kumar was heard exhorting people to kill Sikhs saying," Indira Gandhi is our mother and these people have killed her." Not a single politician has been punished for those killings. Because leaders offer protection to workers political parties are a magnet for all kinds of assorted thugs and scum, as is the case in Bengal. Doctors in Bihar are demanding guns after Mr Bihar, Nitish Kumar won the assembly election by linking arms with 'goonda raj'. In Tamil Nadu the Chief Minister, Jayalalitha is revered as a goddess by her followers who will do anything to show their admiration for her, including having her image tattooed on their arms, sticking her photos on aid relief for flood victims, pouring milk over her poster and even crucifying themselves. But while Trinamul is restricted to Bengal and AIADMK to Tamil Nadu the Congress is a national party which naturally came into power at the time of independence. Members of Congress feel that they are entitled to be in power permanently, and see the BJP as a usurper, even though they were overwhelmingly rejected by voters. There are doubts that the Gandhi name is not genuine but adopted for convenience. Modi is determined to root out corruption which is why the hatred is visceral. Let us hope he succeeds.
