Indian government is relentlessly striving to commit one mala-fide act after another. Attorney General's impish statement in the Supreme Court in the CVC appointment case deserves nation's condemnation.
When the Bench wanted to know if the mandatory eligibility criterion of "impeccable integrity" was satisfied by P J Thomas, the AG atrociously replied , "If integrity is a criterion, all judicial appointments will come under scrutiny, even constitutional ones." One wonders what the AG was driving at. Was he not in the process accepting that this simple requirement was not met in the case of CVC ?
Framers of Indian Constitution will certainly turn in their graves if they come to know how the government is playing ducks and drakes with institutions like presidency and vigilance commission. Ill fares the land and to hastening ills a prey, where arrogance accumulates and governance decays !
It is very sad that our premier is playing possum when onslaughts on ethical conduct are becoming more venomous. It is a shocking irony that standards of governance are hitting the nadir when an honest person is at the helm.
