COALGATE INVESTIGATIONS FOR PROTECTING NATIONAL INTERESTS OR INTERESTS Of RULING COMBINE

India has witnessed a host of scams during the rule of the present government. It is a pity that no investigation seems to be reaching the desired conclusion of booking the rogues and extracting best value from allocation of national resources. While all the nations which have been endowed with rich mineral resources have managed to become prosperous courtesy rising international commodity prices, the Indian nation seems to be getting poorer and poorer courtesy gross mismanagement and vested interests and hidden agenda of those in power. Much to the chagrin of all well meaning citizens of India, the battle goes on with all professional advocates belonging to the executive including legislative executive defending all the actions with the sole motto of saving the guilty rather than nailing them. It will not be out of place to add here that  all successful professional advocates have never sided with truth and all their brilliance comes into play for sowing the seeds of doubt and inadequacy of proof by intentionally ignoring or side tracking everything that could go against their client. They are definitely partially true to their profession in looking after the interests of their clients/paymasters/masters to the best of their ability but woefully untrue to the profession and humanity when it comes to finding out the truth.

The nadir of values in the Indian rulers is all the more inevitable when you see them sticking to the principle of loyalty to the chair and not the nation. Their allegiance to the party gets strengthened with the fear of not only losing power but also the credibility of their electability in future. After all do people at such high and responsible positions need be reminded that country comes first and the government, party and their colleagues do not matter and can be sacrificed at the altar of the nation if need be for the sake of truth.

Whatever is going on in the matter of affidavit of Central Bureau of Investigation submitted to the apex court of the country is a typical case in point. The contention of the street smart advocates in the ruling elite smacks of their concern for retaining their ill gotten position at all expense rather than working for the interests of the nation. One is left wondering if the coalgate investigations are for protecting national interests or interests of the ruling combine. Is their some agency or organ of the government meant for working whole heartedly in the interest of the nation? Only some true legal luminary can throw some light on this, if at all we have one in the country. To a normal man we only have a bunch of street smart advocates who only know how to twist, mask or shroud truth to uphold their baser instincts and distorted values.
