The forced retirement of several senior officials in the finance ministry facing several charges although has sends a clear message to the top officials in various departments that either they should perform or must face the music. Unfortunately the same decision of the finance ministry also has received mixed bag response from within.
The intention of Modi government is clear that every government official is accountable and responsible and they cannot escape from punishment if they fail to discharge their duties to the country for which they are paid. The above stern stand of the government also has send a clear message to the officials that if the officials take political sides to jettison the governance to indirectly ensure some political advantage to the various political parties or its netas, will have to face the consequence. They are free to have their political affiliations but such affiliations should not demean the governance and their roles and responsibilities.
However, the above decision of the finance ministry also has its dark side. The inclusion of Sanjay Kumar Srivastava in the forced retirement scheme has raised serious doubts on whether the Delhi Lutyens are still powerful to influence the ministry.
Sanjay Kumar Srivastava was the one who did the investigation against NDTV fraud and former finance minister P Chidambaram.
People of India has indeed elected Modi back again with great hope and confidence that in this term Modi government would ensure punishment to all those corrupt netas and officials. Therefore it is quite natural to doubt the true intention in forcing Sanjay Kumar Srivasta to retire from service.
The eminent thinker, intellectual, economic expert and the editor in chief of Tuglak magazine also raised doubt over asking Sanjay Kumar Srivastava to retire from service who exposed NDTV fraud and P Chidambaram.
Ashwini Mahajan is also of the view that the charges against Srivastava were framed by the then finance minister P Chidambaram and therefore he deserves support from the government but instead he is being removed unfairly.
The spirit of the dissent should not be misunderstood or misinterpreted. All those who support Modi wants punishment to all those corrupt netas. Only when the corrupt netas are punished, the intent and credibility of the present government can be heightened. The 2G scam, Aircell Maxis, Coal, CWG etc., must be retried, the evidence that were not included in the previous investigations must be included, new and collaborative evidence must be brought out and the guilty must be punished.
The fear of all those who support Modi unconditionally are only about the Delhi Lutyens whether they are silently and secretly creeping in the government and are going to sabotage the investigations against P Chidambaram.
P Chidambaram and many of his associates tried their level best to trap Narendra Modi in several false cases but failed miserably.
When the scam against many of the congress and DMK netas are evident, the evidences are plenty; PM Modi must ensure speedy punishment of all those who looted India as per the law of the land.
Development of India also must include severe punishment of all those corrupt netas. In an effort to win the vishwas of people fell prey to the false propaganda of the dynast and other Tukde Tukde gangs in the last election, PM Modi should not lose the vishwas of all those support him unconditionally.
India sincerely wants BJP government to continue for ever and the party of dynast and other tukde tukde gangs must vanish and evaporate out from Indian politics.
People of India firmly believe that good and corruption free governance doesn’t require opposition and instead only need unconditional support of people.
PM Modi has proved to the world at large that his primary, secondary and tertiary focus is development, sab ka vikas and national security. India needs such good government of BJP and noble Prime Minister Modi. Indians also want to see all those corrupt netas spending their superannuation period inside prison for their corrupt practices when they were in power. The bag full of corruption worms of the party of the dynast must be exposed to the nation. Punishment of all those guilty must be put on fast track and only then India can be made really corruption free.
