Justice delayed in granting bail to Former finance minister P Chidambaram in INX media case

Justice was once again delayed when former finance minister P Chidambaram got bail after 106 days in INX media case.

This undue delay once again exposed the misuse of central agencies by Government

Several opposition leaders being probed for different economic offences points out the misuse of central agencies for political gains.

NCP Chief Sharad Pawar came under scanner weeks ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) registered a case against him, his nephew Ajit Pawar and several other party leaders.

Pawar hit back with a sarcastic comment. He “thanked” the agency and said “was not involved in its decision-making” in any way.

Over the last few months, the agencies have been digging up old cases and initiating action against opposition leaders.

These cases show how the government is targeting the leaders just to tarnish their image.

Former PM Manmohan Singh hit out at the Centre and the CBI for detaining P. Chidambaram without providing credible grounds.

The sequence of events shows how an investigation against the former finance minister in the INX Media case has been politically motivated.

The question arises, why only Chidambaram is being investigated in the INX Media case.

Why none of the ministry officials who unanimously recommended the proposal are under investigation.

Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] leader Hannan Mollah alleged that the Centre is using both “money and threat” to heckle opposition ranks.

“The government is working to exact revenge. This is an uncivilised way for a government to function in a parliamentary system”: Hannan

"Without opposition, there can’t be a parliamentary system. The government is uprooting the values of the system and is establishing a fascist regime": Hannan

The woman who accused BJP leader Chinmayanand of rape was arrested, while the accused was hailed by the government.

Why are the agencies not going after those BJP politicians who are involved in several communal crimes, crimes against women and Dalits?

NCP leader D.P. Tripathi said that the indiscriminate action against opposition leaders shows the “real nature of the government.

"The government can go to any extent to target opposition leaders, not only to tarnish their image but to finish them politically": D.Raja

In Indian history, agencies have never been such vindictive and (mis)used for political gains.
