Are the French ministers learning from their Indian counterparts?

It is reported that France's minister for Budget, Jerome Cahuzac has resigned since he had lied to parliament about a secret Swiss bank account. Surprisingly, the French government's enquiry with the Swiss authorities did not reveal the factual position.

Detailed investigation is now on by a parliamentary commission.

Cahuzac who is also a cosmetic surgeon resigned in March 2013 and he was sacked from the Socialist party thereafter. No country is free from corruption and black money. Countries differ only in how they deal with the menace. Some take immediate remedial action. Others indulge in dilatory tactics.
