CVC issue

The buck has now stopped with the HPC (High Powered Committee) minus the leader of opposition, who has been clamouring against Thomas’ appointment as CVC. The remarks of our sagacious law minister also warrant ratiocination in this regard who has been defending government’s stand throughout the fiasco. He now says, “Supreme Court’s decision to make CVC appointment as non est is guidance for the future”. He has been the one who has been shouting from the rooftop that CVC’s appointment is prudent and can not be questioned. Now suddenly he has gone into fire fighting mode. The government will now go for a new ‘hoodwink plan’ to appoint sycophant civil servants of the so called ‘impeccable integrity’ for such posts. Mr. Achutanandan also has now come out to stoke the decision made by Supreme Court against the government. Where was he when Mr. P.J. Thomas was appointed Chief Secretary of Kerala government? Was there no Palmolein then? Or was there an ulterior motive behind? The new syndrome of “I was not aware about it”with which our PM is suffering is of serious concern for the nation. If our honourable PM is not aware of the issues of the country and its people and moreover his own appointees, he needs introspection of his abilities to lead 1.21 billion people of this country. It is time people take cognizance of government’s astuteness in formulating such ‘Acts’ without any teeth. The present government has lost its credibility and people’s mandate. It brings wryness to common public that our democracy has become “ for the influential, by the influential, of the influential”
