Beginning Of The End?

While Anna Hazare's Lokpal bill is being drafted and debated, there are definite signs that the long arm of the law is finally catching up with the big fish. Kalmadi, who seemed untouchable at one time, was yesterday arrested by the CBI for his role in the CWG scam, on a day when the CBI also charge sheeted DMK chief Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi in the 2G scam. Raja has already spent more than 2 months in jail, and the courts recently rejected the bail pleas of 5 head honchos of corporates accused of wrong doing in the 2G scam. Tihar is currently housing a large number of "untouchables", and me thinks, this population will only keep growing.

All we need is a couple of convictions, and that, hopfully, will be the beginning of the end of the rampant corruption scandals plaguing this country.

Kalmadi is hardly a big fish. He is pretty much dispensable compared to what is really at stake for the congress party.

Hope that the long hand of law will eventually reach to the neck of Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi.
