Now a mere order for personal appearance in court has all
the legal eagles of congress hyperventilating in public, making insinuations of
political vendetta.
Nation had witnessed when a single judge of the Allahabad
High court had indicted Indira. Then as the story goes, she went by the
personal advisor of Siddhartha Shankar-more a friend than a lawyer- waking up
the president late at night to sign on the dotted line of the emergency
ordinance. Congress did have legal luminaries even then, but none came out
howling on Allahabad high court judgement, nor did MPs create Pandemonium in
parliament.
The disturbance in the already fragile fate of the winter
session only points towards a guilt and fear of exposure. If the Gandhi’s and
the star lawyers in congress fold are so supremely confident of their case, why
should they be afraid of going through the due process of law.
The whole Saas- Bahu and the congress reveals an imperialist
mindset of a dynastic that considers itself to be the natural ruler of this
country, So anything from the land grab against the son-in-law to misappropriation
of trusts funds is turned on its head by a single point counter-accusation of
political vengeance.
Nation has seen Narender Modi faced trials-albeit with the
best of legal defence anyone is entitled to- and come out acquitted. Nor did he
bypass the judiciary to get even with his political adversaries.
Therefore it would be right to suggest that this entire
drama is a ploy to detract the efforts for getting the GST Bill passed.
The fate of democracy in India needs a serious ponder
whether it’s safe in the hands of a democratically chai-wallah who graduated to
wear a monogrammed suits or a woman who has devolved form sable coats to cotton
sarees, but whose natural upbringing makes her coded genetically to fiercely
protect her family perhaps.
