Nothing exemplifies more the criminal nexus between the Politicians and the Big Business Crooks, and the Congress partys attitude towards corruption, than this shocking statement from the Law Minister of the Country, Mr.Salman Khurshid
At a time when the judiciary is seized with cases concerning corruption, black money and the 2G spectrum scam, Law Minister Salman Khurshid has said that the judiciary needs to understand the “political economy” in the country.
Speaking to The Indian Express, he said: “What will affect the functioning of the government is if other institutions do not understand the kind of political economy we are faced with today: what is needed to encourage growth and investment? If you lock up top businessmen, will investment come? What optimal structure should be put in place for investment to come?”
Asked if he meant the judiciary when referring to “other institutions”, he replied: “Yes, judiciary is as important a player in the entire effort. Each of the three wings — judiciary, legislature and executive — has to understand the political economy and respond to it. The judiciary can’t be immune to the demands of society in changing times. The judiciary has been making positive interventions in the field of environment, fight against corruption, protection of human rights and social welfare, but it also has to understand the political economy.”
Mr. Khurshid! Judiciary is not locking up HONEST BUSINESSMEN. It is locking up bloody crooks who, in association with the ilks of you, have bend every rules, looted the country of thousands of crores and have not delivered.
For every crooked businessman who is jailed, there are thousands of other honest businessmen who are allowed to operate without any hindrance.
Or is it the Honourable Law Ministers take that people like Ramalingam Raju, Maran Brothers, Hasan Ali, Suresh Kalmadi et al should not be judged by the law of the land, just because their jailing for trial will prevent investment?
It is such a ridiculous and shocking thought process from a senior minister who is constitutionally obliged to uphold the law of the land as the law minister. He is virtually exhorting the Judiciary to go soft on Businessmen. If that is not contempt of court, I dont know what is. Well, what else can one expect from a Minister of a party, which once talked openly about committed judiciary????
How much lower can Congress sink?
