Opinion View from the right

In another article,Jay Dubashi argues that it is the black money returning to India that has contributed to rising inflation. “The fact is that some of the politicians and other characters have become so scared of being exposed as looters that they are bringing money home from their tax shelters. There is therefore so much cash around that the markets are inundated with it… And now that there is probably as much black money as white,prices are doubling every few months. This is why onions are costing twice as much as they did a few months ago,and why cricketers are being bought and sold at twice the prices they used to be traded a year ago,” writes Dubashi. “Bulk of the money in cricket is black,which is why you have so many Congress and other politicians sticking to it like limpets. They want to bring back their loot before WikiLeaks and others shine their torchlight on it,” he adds.

Another article,titled “UPA afraid of disclosing the money launderers’ names”,says that “the black money of Indian politicians and big businessmen does not remain permanently parked in foreign banks; a part of it keeps coming back to India,specially,during election times… If we seriously want to root out corruption from our political system,we have to make efforts to render all those places unviable where at present the slush money is being parked.”

Who picked Thomas?
An article in the Organiser has criticised Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the CVC’s appointment. It sought to know whether the prime minister would make public the name of the person under whose “instruction” he appointed P.J. Thomas to that post. “What is gratifying is that the Supreme Court refused to be misled by the government’s false and untenable contentions and did raise relevant questions to bring out the truth — the appointment of CVC is perhaps the only one in which Dr Manmohan Singh is in the line of fire… The prime minister will do well to tell the nation whether or not he was under instructions to appoint Thomas and no one else as CVC? If the answer is yes,will he please disclose the identity of the person who instructed him?” it asks.

Terror stories
The Panchjanya,the RSS’s journal in Hindi,has an editorial on the suicide of a relative of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan,who was killed during 26/11. It lamented the government’s attitude against terrorism,claiming that the act was a response to this attitude and the long legal process around the conviction of the 26/11 accused,Ajmal Kasab. In this context,the editorial has criticised Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh. “The way he (Digvijaya Singh) appears to be speaking up for jihadi terrorists and standing by people like Aziz Burney,who support them,would not be possible without the consent of 10 Janpath. This became more obvious when Rahul Gandhi declared ‘Hindu fundamentalism’ more fatal than the LeT,and put the RSS and the SIMI on the same footing,” says the editorial.

Meanwhile,a special report in Organiser sought to know whether Digvijaya Singh would apologise to the country in the way that Aziz Burney,author of RSS ka Shadyantra,26/11,apologised for his “vicious canard against the RSS”.
