A man in a raincoat should not flash at another.

In the opinion of the former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who has a DPhil in economics from Oxford, demonetisation of high denomination notes in India was an act of "organised loot and legalised plunder". In response the current Prime Minister Narendra Modi taunted Singh saying the he "is the only person who knows the art of bathing in a bathroom with a raincoat on". He was referring to Singh never taking responsibility for the numerous scams that occurred when he was prime minister. Politicians are never punished for the crimes they commit. Why? Because they cover for each other. About 2 weeks back Kim Jong-nam, half brother of North Korean President, Kim Jong Un, was assassinated inside an airport in Malaysia. Within a couple of days the authorities arrested the first suspect and within a week they had found that the cause of death was the nerve agent VX. VX is a deadly poison, banned by the United Nations as a weapon of mass destruction, and possessed by a few governments only. Yet Malaysian scientists were able to discover it within days.Contrast that with the murder of Sunanda Pushkar in Delhi where the cause of death has not been established. A forensic report concluded that she had been poisoned but her viscera had to be sent to the FBI in the US to find the cause. If the viscera had been washed before being sent nothing would be found. The forensic pathologist alleged that he had been pressured to report the death as natural. Pushkar died in January 2014 and a new government by the BJP came to power in May. One would have hoped that they would expose all the crimes committed under the Congress, but not a single criminal has gone to prison. Instead a medical board has concluded that the cause of Pushkar's death is 'inconclusive'. Which means it has been successfully covered up by two governments of two different parties. First Vijay Mallya flew unhindered out of Delhi airport with 7 heavy bags, now we understand that arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari has also taken refuge in London. His tale is even more thrilling, in that he stayed in India long enough to transfer his assets to Dubai, out of reach of our courts, and then escaped without a passport. Murders not solved, crooks escaping with all their loot and what does Modi do? He punishes the whole nation by banning Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 notes. Powers of tax officials have also been increased so that they do not have to disclose any reason to search anyone's home. Campaigning in Uttarakhand recently Modi warned the Congress that they should behave because he has dossiers on them. If he has evidence of crime it is his constitutional duty to bring the criminals to justice. Instead he is threatening blackmail. Clearly there is more than one man wearing raincoats inside that bathroom. Wonderful.
