We have been reading quite a bit on the telecom scam here in this forum mostly culled out from sangh parivar publications which has its own biases and slants. Here is an interview of Kapil Sibal by Arnab Goswami on Times Now which gives the other point of view. http://www.timesnow.tv/articleshow/4358701.cms Regards, Marshall Response: It is interesting how a scam that involves a loss of $39 billion to the country's exchequer becomes BJP sponsored media invention for this partisan Congress boy. I found a couple of comments by Sibal who is an eminent and experienced Harvard educated lawyer, very interesting I quote: "Arnab: Why is SC taking this matter so seriously? Sibal: We only respond to judgments. We don't respond to judgments. I will not respond to any observations. Arnab: others say the procedure is not rightly followed. Why did the Solicitor General say that all the five letters of Subramaniam Swamy have been 'dealt with'? Sibal: Please don't ask a minister in the government as to what happened in the court. I think it is inappropriate I can tell you what the complaint was (flashes complaint papers). I have the complaint with me. What all it have - newspapers report. PM has to give sanction on a newspaper report? Then a written document. PM is supposed to give sanction on this? Here is a PM who is sensitive, Here is a PM who is extremely concerned about integrity. " And he probably said it all with a straight face as well. Mr Clean Mr Singh has to now answer the highest court in the land about this mess happening under his watch and hopefully we will see whether it is his incompetence or the bounty he and Madam shared with Raja that is responsible. Of course he could take a leaf out of Digu's political bible and pass an amendment to the constitution that stops Supreme Court from asking any questions to a sitting PM. Is it any surprise that the same CBI that cannot arrest Kalmadi despite considerable evidence of corruption, or Ashok chavan for the blatant lawbreaking in case of Adarsh Scam is now trying to deflect attention by statements such as CBI agents believe that some obscure Swami was the main perpetrator of blasts in ajmer etc. Were these officers asleep at work for all these years? Why do they have to feed these snippets to the press instead of prosecuting the alleged criminals with alacrity? Do they have to constantly re-assure Madam that they are on her side? As the Barkha tapes reveal, Congress is ever so willing to supply such stories to their stooges in the media. Have we heard from Tehelka yet on the CWG, Adarsh or telecom scam yet? Go on Mr Mendoza, have fun while the country is being looted. Blame it all on the BJP supporting media. Anil Desai
