This is becoming a pattern.
No one grudges a person from SC/ST or any caste or tribe any position in India. We have had Presidents, Supreme Court Judges, Governors, Top Government officials, Ministers et al from the under privileged category.
But what is galling is some of these people indulging in blatant corruption, and then try to hide behind their minority or underprivileged status.
Telecom minister Raja did it. As did Mayawati. As did. As did Justice Dinakaran. Now Ex CJI K G Balakrishnan. The guy is proving to be extremely unworthy of his position, both ex as CJI and as Chairman of NHRC. His relatives, brother and sons in law, have amassed crores of wealth during his tenure as CJI. He also refused to take any action against Justice Dinakaran and misrepresented the complaint against Minister Raja, fellow Dalits. Now he is indirectly using The SC/ST All India Confederation, which today came out in support of former Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan, alleging there was a conspiracy behind the concerted attack on the NHRC chairman, whose relatives are facing charges of amassing disproportionate wealth."The campaign against Balakrishnan is part of a conspiracy by forces that seek to resist the ascension of persons belonging to SC/ST sections to high posts in the country," K Ramankutty, president of SC/ST All India Confederation, said at a press conference here.
These worthies, by supporting the scums in their midst, are doing a graver injustice to their people and they dont seem to realize it.
