CBI-The Congress' Bureau of Investigation

If I can make out anything from the recent actions of the CBI, it is very clear that congress is finding it impossible to come back to power and before loosing hold of CBI they just want to clear the names of the people like Tytler, Sajjan Kumar and Quatrocchi. To my astonishment the attorney general and now the prime minister calls the Red corner notice against Quatrochchi (now taken off) as the embarrassment to the government. I am not sure what embarrassment are they referring too, probably they feel embarrassed after Interpol asks them why are you helping Quatrachchi in packing his money (Hansraj Bhardwaj helped during an official visit), when you are asking us to crack him down. Other then that I can not understand any kind of embarrassment a government has to face for the fugitives.



Why Mr. Manmohan Singh and company are so embarrassed by the fact the Mr Q is required by Interpol, is he some relative of Ms. Super PM. Or if he feels after failing to -plead successfully to bring Mr Q back from Argentina, then why is he not feeling embarrassed with the fact that his government is sitting on the capital punishment order for Afzal by the supreme Court of India, or for that matter thousands of Indians who are in jails waiting for their trails to begin. Why Mr. Manmohan Singh is not embarrassed by the fact that partners in his government are openly praising and accepting friendship to the killers of India's former PM (that too from his own Party and a friend of Mr. Q). Why is Mr. Manmohan singh is not feeling embarrassed with that fact the Interpol website carries numerous Indian wanted with confirmed addresses in places like Canada, UK, Middle East and Pakistan. And Why Mr. Manmohan Singh is not embarrassed about the fact that Interpol website does not point to CBI website properly (http://www.interpol.int/Public/Wanted/Fugitives/Links.asp#10).



This case of embarrassment is like a person a person, first opens his car and screws it up and instead of taking to proper mechanic calls it an embarrassment to keep such a thing and sells it. Here first the central Minister asked London bank to de freeze Mr. Q's accounts as they supposedly did not carry bofors money (why such an affection for an accused that Mr. Bhardwaj himself travelled to make the request). Then CBI faults big time with a new arrest warrant instead of the original one. Now Mr. PM says since we have faulted in the past its better to leave Mr. Q alone. I am not sure why is the congress party so adamant about not bringing Mr. Q back to India. Probably Mr. Q in India can provide some info against SPM. But at least they should use better arguments or methods to hide such things, calling it embarrassment because of your past failures is not a thing that can be digested. The Interpol website itself says that accused until proven guilty in the court of law can not be assumed guilty, then whats wrong with keeping a person as wanted until he appears before the court and court decides.

Here we must keep in mind that with the revocation of red corner notice Mr. Q is a free bird and can be assumed not guilty, even thought Indian courts did not get even hold of him, thanks to CBI.
