Sibu Soren Jailed

Mr. Shibu Soren was to be convicted keeping in view his background .He started his political career by looting truck drivers and owners as also businessmen of all types by blocking the road in the night through his hired and professional goondas or by taking donations in the name of Party work. Similar is the background of so many leaders who now form the cabinet in the Jharkhand state or at the centre . Even in the centre there are so many MP's who are basically looters and exploiters of general businessman and property builders. Their existance depends on donations snatched from rich persons. Such person when made minister ,any one can guess how much they will loot from big businessmen, industrialists and other high profile person . Difference is that when they are not in the government they threaten the rich of dire consequances (physical or financial)and when they come in the government and made minister they help the business through legislation in favour of rich and the demanding crores of ruppees in return in the name of party fund.It is usual phenomenon for most of the the MP's and MLA's , not to speak of ministers.Mr Sibu Soren is not a new , isolated and unique case.It became painful when person like Mr. Manmohan Singh succumbed to party pressure and inducted person like Mr. Sibu Soren in the cabinet last year inspite of huge protest from opposition parties. As such It appears ridiculous when Mr. Manmohan Singh preaches the sermon that efforts should be made to eliminate corruption from the system. When corruption is at climax in the government itself, when cabinet is constituted by chargesheeted leaders how one can dream of even minimising corruption , not to speak of elimination of the same. How one can believe that Lalu Yadav,erstwqhile Chief Minister of Bihar and now Railway Minister at center, who was accused in Rs.1000 crores Chara Ghotala case and who was benificiary of the scandal indirectly can allow the administration as also judiciary to function honestly and deliver honest judgement. Never possible.In the same Chara Ghotala case hundreds of Babus penalised and put under custody , but the mastermind was made Railway Minister by Mr. ManMohan Singh .We know very well that in Rs.30000 crores Stam Scam none of actual culprits now in the Maharashtra Government will be penalised.Last but not the least , Indians feel ashamed when a cabinet rank minister is convicted for murder or for hatching a conspiracy to murder. Office workers below such person do not hesitate asking for commission in any deal when his boss is crime committer.We have to take corrective steps to eliminate the criminals, looters,fraud-commiters from the cabinet first and then make efforts to do the same for other departments .Courtsy begins from home. Correction therefore must start from the Top before it is too late.When top is pure, he will have the moral right to preach the sermon down the level and punish IAS officers ,State level officer and lastly Babus who indulge in and perpetuate corrupt practices in the system. A criminal before commiting any crime takes into the confidence the person who is supposed to control the crime.A Hawaldar gives shareof his ill-earned money to Thana in-charge and and Income Tax inspector gives his share to Income Tax Officer. There is well established but unwritten rule of corrupt practices under the patronage of High profile leaders .It is bitter but true.
