Vinod Roy Vs Manmohan Singh


Vinod Roy, the former Comptroller and Auditor General of India,  has written a book "Not Just an Accountant". He has also given an interview on the eve of its launch. 

His allegation is that Dr Manmohan Singh, the former Prime Minister was fully and equally accountable for the major scams of UPA II regime - 2G Spectrum and Coal Gate. He further alleged that when 2G Spectrum case appeared, three gentlemen /Congress leaders Sanjay Nirupam, Ashwini Kumar and Sandip Dixit tried to influence him not to include the name of Manmohana Singh in the scandal. If the allegation is not correct, let the congressmen prosecute the former CAG. 

His direct and open allegation on Dr Manmohan Singh is that the latter was equally responsible for both the scams - 2G Spectrum and Coal Gate. His honesty can't be confined to monetary gains personally but morally and professionally his dishonesty was proved beyond doubt. He certainly can't take shelter under the name of coalition politics for participating in such dishonest deals.

I too agree with his line of argument and finding. If someone else is taken to task there is no valid justification to spare him from such an accusation. His love and attachment to the chair of prime minister was so strong and solid that he was prepared to do anything in official life. Abetment of an offence is equally punishable in criminal law. Unless exemplary step is taken against such blue collared culprits and the latter are brought to book, things won't change in  the governments.
