Now the former Chief Justice of the Supreme court is under the scanner of CBDT. The Home Ministry has asked CBDT to probe in to the allegations that K.G.Balakrishnan, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, has amassed wealth disprportionate to his income. It is also alleged that his family members also have amassed wealth during the period he was the Chief Justice of the country.
What a sorry state of affairs! The Chief Justice of the nation who is to uphold justice and truth is being enquired for corruption?

The people in Orissa are agitating against the Environment clearance given for POSCO project which will not only take away the forest lands and lands of the poor people but also is an environmental hazard. Jayram Ramesh, Environment Minister, who opposed it earlier has now cleared it, probably under pressure.
But more news are coming. It is alleged that former Minister A.Rja, who was Environment Minister before he came to Telecom, is also involved as well as Minister P.Chidambaram.
In a statement issued by many save environmental organisations, they have exposed the role played by Raja and Chidambaram in giving clearance to Posco earlier and pressurising the concerned authorities.
In these circumstances, it is very much necessary that these allegations are enquired in to by the CBI.

After Mr. Sivasankaran, former Aircel owner has stated to the CBI charging the former Communications Minister Dayanidhi Maran with adopting armtwisting methods for selling his stakes in Aircel to Maxis, the latter is in real trouble. In addition, certain issues pertaining to the textile ministry are also coming up.
How many ministers in th e UPA government are already on corruption charges? How many more are coming? It is time that the Prime Minister has to take stock of the situation which is already alarming and take immediate action. But unfortunately he also seems to be supporting the corrupt till the last moment.Vey unfortunate!

Baba Ramdev has started his fast at Ramlila maidan today against corruption. Thousands of his followers are participating in it in the well arranged pandal. But some of the media has termed it as five star fast. Congress has stated that it is a political game of the BJP/RSS. Anna Hazare supported the fast, but today he has stated that he will come to Delhi and see whether it is a five star fast.
Central Government succumbed to the threat of fast and four cabinet ministers including Pranab Mukherjee went to the airport to receive Baba Ramdev to dissuade him from starting the fast. The government also says that it has agreed to most of the demands raised by Baba Ramdev. At the same time congress party is ridiculing the fast.
What is cooking is not clear. Let us wait. But there is not doubt that the huge scams and corruption coming one after another have to be exposed, enquired and the the guilty given maximum penalty for cheating the country and the people.

The studied silence of the central government and its spokespersons on the allegations of corruption against former Communications and present Textiles Minister Shri Dayanidhi Maran is surprising. The spokespersons are stated to have replied that it is up to Dayanidhi Maran to reply. This is unusual. It is the UPA II government itself which is involved. There is a joint responsiblity to the cabinet and how the government can say that it is to be explained by the concerned Minister only.
This only points that the government do not want to involve in the matter and that some thing wrong is there.
Let us wait for further details in the matter.
