Honesty and principles have they disappeared from our public life?

After hearing and reading news in media these days I simply wonder at times whether honesty and principles have become something to be practiced by fools in our state of Kerala. Respected principled leaders of left parties continuously tell without any hesitation simple lies to protect their greatest leader Pinaray Vijayan
Whatever may be the accusations against him, CBI enquiry should be prevented at any cost. It is only an attempt to destroy left movement instigated by America. For preventing that expert lawyers from Delhi can be brought using tax payer’s money. Advocate General has to give advice against prosecution of Pinaray Vijayan. Ministry cannot and should not give sanction to prosecute our beloved leader. If Governor act against this crude attempts to protect greatest looter of state of Kerala then he has to be condemned. If Chief Minister did not tell lies like other ministers in support of Pinaray Vijayan then he should be expelled from this great party
Earlier at least I had a faint thinking that unlike K.Karunakaran, R.Balakrishna Pillai, T.M Jacob etc these left leaders had some principles. But this lavlin issue has shown how unashamedly they are protecting a looter and trying desperately to prevent any investigation on the deal only because of the fact that they know very well that their beloved leader is a crook and looter of public money. It is high time they changed name of their party as Looters Party of India. Probably they can keep that Marxist Leninist brackets. They use these names to justify their wrong doings lootings and continuous chorus repeating of utter falsehood thinking that common man will believe these falsehoods as truth.

Withering away of Communism

Communism and socialism were political ideologies promising equal status, opportunities and equal distribution of wealth of the country. In a society with several inequalities mostly in the name of religion, caste and protective arrangements, laws and traditional values for privileged few in the society, these equality theories and political thoughts have attracted several young people over the years. Some of them felt so strong about these utopian ideologies that they were even willing to sacrifice their own lives in the hope that future generations will have a just equitable society
Basically human beings are selfish and they have a highly possessive attitude for everything, be it property, family, relatives, extended family and people of same caste, village or same religion. This possessive nature of human being has helped people to work hard to amass wealth so that his or her next generation will live in prosperity. Communism tried to work against these basic human instincts of private property, possessiveness and has failed all over the world. Today even erstwhile Russia and China have embraced capitalism which promotes free enterprise and persuade any one to work hard for him, his family and his people. Capitalism being something natural to human nature, it is quite natural that it has become universally accepted economic system of life
Democracy and right of people to choose and reject those who rule them as their representatives have set in motion social justice actions from democratically elected rulers of the country. These social justice actions have resulted in reducing social inequities and have also speeded up social welfare measures for the downtrodden and less privileged sections of society. This again reduced significance of movements like communism and socialism
Leaders of so called communist movements have over a period of time become selfish opportunists trying to amass wealth for them through legal or illegal means. Democratic elections have given them political power in countries like India. First Communist ministry in Kerala and few successive communist governments headed by people like E.M.Sankaran Namboothiripad, C.Achutha Menon, and E.K.Nayanar have tried to bring social justice through legal reforms. Basically these leaders were selfless people who cannot be corrupted by lure of money. But when Pinaray Vijayan became the leader of Communist party in Kerala, all pretentions of idealism is thrown to winds. Looting money through SNC Lavlin or similar deals which may not have come to the light of the public has become the right thing to do. Threatening people of the state through media and talking in arrogant manner has also become right thing to do.
Funniest part of the story is that even after electoral defeat in the recent Parliament elections, the committee members of Communist party have found that the only credible and honest leader of the party, Chief Minister Achuthanandan is the main reason for electoral defeat of the party! People like Jayarajan who looks and talks like a thevar of Tamil Nadu, a minister who consider using abusive language in media as a routine affair are all supposed to be loved ones of the people of Kerala. If this is the way the ruling party assess the mood of the people of Kerala, the day is not too far when the communist party become only a party of few people comprising secretary and committee members only

Elite citizens protected from laws of land

If you happen to become a minister in any of Indian state governments or central government or even if you are a government employee, during your period of employment or period of being minister you can do any illegal activity. You will never be prosecuted for your crimes.

Our law makers have made such laws that if ex ministers and govt officials do not voluntarily agree to be charge sheeted and proceeded against, nobody can do anything against them whatever may be their crime as they can easily influence ministry in power not to give special sanction to law enforcement agency to proceed against them.Ordinary citizens like you and me can be proceeded against without any specic sanction from Governer of the state or ministry in power

Look at the now infamous Pinaray Vijayan case. Present advocate general has appeared for him to oppose CBI enquiry against SNC lavlin looting case. Somehow court did not show kindness to agree to his escape efforts. After the CBI enquiry, same man was asked to give his opinion whether CBI should proceed against culprits including his present and previous boss. Naturally he did not feel it necessary to proceed against culprits in the case who were govt servants and minister while committing the crime. Now government of Pinaray Vijayan cannot think differently and the case is being dumped due to the silly reason that there are two laws in this country for ordinary citizens and these elite officials and ministers. While being ministers or officials they can do any crime or looting and unless they agree to be proceeded against, law cannot do anything against them

I wonder why UDF leaders who call Harthal only for torturing common man did not think of changing this ridiculous law while being in power at centre for so many years. Why these looters get this ridiculous benefit of sanction from them to proceed against them legally? Why common man in this so called democratic country do not rise to revolt against this unjustifiable discriminatory rule which protects ministers and govt employees for doing any looting or crime?

Law will never catch our politicians

Advocate General of the state of Kerala is a political appointee for the period of the ruling government. He is normally an experienced senior advocate chosen for the post considering his knowledge, experience, loyalty and attachment to the ruling party. His job is mainly to advise government on legal matters and act as head of an army of lawyers to represent govt in court cases. Hence it was not surprising when he delayed legal advice on SNC Lavlin case for more than three months so that Election will be over. After the voting for Election in the state, he again took about one month to give his advice as expected. Nobody can expect him to advice to proceed against his party boss, Pinaray Vijayan whatever he might have done by exercising his legitimate right to loot the country during his period as minister of the state.

Several earlier ministers like K. Karunakaran, R.Balakrishna Pillai, and T.M.Jacob have all escaped being caught and punished for corruption while being in office. If not for doing corruption and amassing wealth why these capable persons come to politics instead of taking up much difficult jobs in their earnest effort to becoming extremely rich

Look at what happened in SNC Lavlin case. It is not Pinaray Vijayan who found SNC Lavlin Company based at Canada to do renovation work for old Electrical power generation houses. It is another minister in opposing camp of UDF who brought SNC Lavlin to Kerala. But the poor fellow lost power by the time he could do anything to make money by playing with SNC Lavlin. So naturally Pinaray Vijayan used the golden opportunity gifted to him by the opposition camp.Trichy based public sector Bharath Heavy Electricals Limited has offered to do the renovation works for those old power generation houses at a meager Rs.100 crores.CPM party committee headed by dead and gone E.Balanandan has recommended to accept offer of BHEL.Then SNC Lavlin has given a counter offer of Rs.347 crores for the same work. Naturally the work has to go to SNC Lavlin as BHEL cannot give any kickbacks being an Indian public sector company. Now I can predict one thing quite confidently even though I am not an astrologer. Pinaray Vijayan will happily have the last laugh just like our old Rajiv Gandhi laughed away Bofors bribe case and even his Italian benami Mr.Quttrochy is now freed by CBI as an innocent.

When you are a politician you can only be an innocent whatever you may do. Opposing CPM ruled state of Kerala when Kunjalikutty of Muslim League was caught in a sex scandal. In spite of their public outcry against each other politicians see to it that people belonging to their tribe ruling or opposition never get caught in any cases of looting or other scandals. So they can do all these laughing loudly with the firm belief that in spite of verbal opposition and outcry to mislead general public, they will help each other to ensure that the holy politicians never get caught for any wrong doing. May be that is why all big criminals try to enter politics to continue their criminal deeds with impunity
