If A Raja and Kalmadi would have been in China, uptill now they would have been hanged in public in some City Square for such huge corruption. Indians, now it is time to throw the corrupt Congress and its UPA allies in the hell. When we Indians are going to wake up ? Do you know that today we are facing so much inflation, which can be reduced if our 'Scam-Expert' Politicians would have used the money they have 'eaten' up for Indian citizens ?
For tainted MPs A Raja and Suresh Kalmadi, even a jail term did not come in the way of their being nominated to Parliamentary Standing Committees.
According to an NDTV report, both MPs who had spent more than a year in jail have been granted berths by the Congress in latest panel reshuffle. While Kalmadi was given a spot in the standing committee on external affairs, Raja has been inducted in the energy committee.
Interestingly, Kalmadi’s arrest and suspension from the Congress party in April 2011 over his alleged involvement in the CWG case had in no way hindered the party from granting him the slot in the panel. The Congress member from Pune was the Chairman of the CWG organising committee at the time that irregularities were reported. Kalmadi got bail in January this year.
Meanwhile, former Telecom Minister A Raja, who is the prime accused in the Rs 30,000 crore 2G spectrum scam and spent over a year in Tihar jail, is the DMK’s representative on the parliamentary group that studies Energy. Raja is now under trial for criminal conspiracy, cheating and breach of trust by a public servant, a charge that carries a maximum sentence if life imprisonment.
As the Telecom Minister, he allegedly sold licences at throw-away prices to ineligible mobile networks companies. Through his trial, his party has stood by him.
In another such notable development that took place a year ago, DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi’s daughter Kanimozhi, another MP accused in the 2G scam, had been allotted a seat in the standing committee on human resource development during the previous panel reshuffle in August last year.
Meanwhile, Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi had shifted to the finance panel from the HRD committee.
Gandhi had served two terms with both the HRD and home affairs panels.
As per administrative norm, the department-related standing committees are supposed to review the functioning of the respective ministries and give suggestions on proposed bills.
