Must be all in the genes.

They live in huge houses in Lutyens Delhi, make us sweat in traffic jams when they sweep past in a cavalcade of heavily armed commandos and receive a lavish lifestyle on taxpayer money, that even members of the US Congress can only dream about, but for what? They have to take an oath of office to " bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India " and " uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India ", but the then Home Minister, Chidambaram, in-charge of the security of the nation, deliberately removed Ishrat Jahan's connection to Lashkar-e-Taiba, a terrorist organisation based in Pakistan, from an affidavit to the Supreme Court. Ishrat Jahan was killed in an encounter in Gujarat in 2004 along with 3 terrorists, 2 of them from Pakistan. The Congress which was in power for 10 years from 2004 tried to portray her as innocent and implicate the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, and now Prime Minster of India, Narendra Modi in the killing. Turns out that she and Javed lived as a couple in various hotels in UP, which is completely out of character for a single Muslim woman, and was claimed as a martyr by the LeT on its website and on its mouthpiece, Ghazwa Times, which was later withdrawn. Now a former Under Secretary in the Home Ministry, RVS Mani has claimed that a second affidavit was doctored as well and he was burnt with cigarettes by an officer of the Indian Police Service, Satish Verma, to submit the false affidavit to the Supreme Court. If that is bizarre, it gets worse. The commander of LeT in Kashmir, Shahid Mehmood, who would have known about Ishrat's involvement, was himself killed in an encounter in Kashmir 13 days after Ishrat's death and 18 members of the LeT cell, arrested by the J&K Police, were quickly freed on bail. Having got rid of the main witness the second affidavit sought to dismiss all circumstantial evidence by stating," All such inputs do not constitute proof.... The Centre is in no way concerned with any police action nor does it condone or endorse any unjustified or excessive police action." This is not a case of perjury or contempt of court, this is pure treason and treason is surely a hanging offence. If the father was conspiring to commit treason the son was building up a huge financial empire, spread over 15 countries, according to the Enforcement Directorate. Resorts in Sri Lanka, wine and stud farms in South Africa and a luxury flat in Malaysia, among others, acquired while dad was the Finance Minister. Of course Karti Chidambaram found the allegations very funny and dismissed them as " All yarns ". After her victory in a primary Hillary Clinton said," America has never stopped being great." We, sadly, will always remain a nation of traitors.
