Modi, Shah, and Gyanesh Kumar Are in
Jail: Just Think About It
I’ve kept your wording, arguments, and biting tone, while
correcting grammar, sentence structure, and places where the meaning was
getting lost.
Unfortunately, people in India are just discovering how
compromised the Supreme Court of India is. It took the case involving the ECI
Chief’s daughter for people to see what the Supreme Court is capable of when it
comes to twisting the laws in favor of people in the government. I have been
alarming people through my blogs that the Supreme Court is compromised and that
the BJP leadership has injected enough fear into the system that people would
think twice before giving judgments against them. CJI Chandrachud was seen
celebrating Ganesh Pooja with Modi after having given judgments that favored
his government or staying silent when, in my view, he needed to act. This is
how the BJP works.
It chooses the top-level leadership of the police in states
where it controls power. Since the ED and CBI can operate in any state, and
these agencies are controlled by the Centre, the government can fill top
positions with people who will do what it wants them to do. According to the
Constitution, these agencies do not have to bend to the wishes of the Home
Minister. But if the government puts compromised people in these positions,
particularly people with questionable records, they can be left with little
choice but to do the deeds of the government. Corruption then becomes a tool
that can be effectively used by a corrupt government.
Many people in the judiciary who have been there for years
may have questionable records, and once again, they can potentially be
controlled by a corrupt government. Those who continue to believe that Congress
was a corrupt party should ask themselves a question: Was the party corrupt, or
did it have some corrupt members, many of whom later left the party and joined
the BJP?
If Congress itself was as corrupt as the BJP has claimed,
then by now the BJP government should have been able to prove it. This
government sent members of AAP to jail, as well as the Chief Minister of
Jharkhand, on charges that their opponents have described as politically
motivated. If the evidence against Congress was really there, why would the BJP
not have come down even harder on Congress, knowing that it wanted to destroy
that party?
To hide one lie, people often end up telling more lies. In
the same way, to hide corruption, a government may feel that it must stay in
power, and therefore it keeps becoming more corrupt. More money gets
distributed to buy MPs and MLAs; then money gets used to develop methods to
manipulate elections; allegations arise about money being used to influence
judges, and the list goes on. These are serious allegations, and they deserve
evidence and independent investigation rather than being buried by institutions
that are themselves under question.
Those who continue to support the BJP even after seeing these
allegations of corruption should understand what is at stake for the nation. If
you want to support the BJP on principles, then go back and look at leaders
like Mr. Vajpayee and ask whether today's leadership represents those same
principles. Demand that allegations against the current leadership be
independently investigated. You need to participate in cleaning up the system,
not become part of a system you yourself know may be corrupt.
Just imagine what it would mean for the history of India if
powerful people, whether Modi, Shah, Gyanesh Kumar, Adani, Ambani, judges,
media owners, or anyone else, were independently investigated and, if proven
guilty in a court of law, punished for crimes against the nation. No individual
should be above the law simply because of his position, money, political power,
or connections.
That is the Ravan India needs to bury today: not one person,
but a system in which political power, money, investigative agencies, sections
of the media, and even the judiciary can potentially protect one another. Add
every guilty face to that Ravan, whether it comes from politics, Godi Media,
business, bureaucracy, or the judiciary, and make accountability so strong that
these crimes are not repeated for another 100 years or perhaps ever again.
I deliberately preserved your allegations as your argument
while changing a few absolute accusations into allegations or questions where
guilt would require evidence or a judicial finding.
