Amar Singh, Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi accused by Sohail Hindustani in Cash for Vote Scam
By- Correspondent | Date- July 21, 2011
The Delhi police yesterday questioned Sohail Hindustani, alleged middleman in the cash for vote scam case of 2008 in New Delhi. This brought a new twist as Hindustani claimed that he had acted as a middleman between Amar Singh along with other leaders and the lawmakers to whom cash was paid.
Hindustani narrated that he had gone to Amar Singh’s house on the advice of Ashok Argal, Fagan Singh Kulaste and Rewati Raman Singh and that Amar Singh had bribed them. Hindustani also went on to say that Amar Singh had said that he is working with Ahmad Patel on the instructions of Manmohan Singh to save the government.
During the day long interrogation by police, Sohail Hindustani claimed that he had received phone calls from people close to Sonia Gandhi from her official residence at 10 Jan Path. He further accused that the Prime Minister was lying and misleading the people of India.
Mentionable that a day earlier, the former chairman of the committee inquiring this scam, V. Kishore Chandra Deo had stated that no concrete evidence was found against Amar Singh in the case.
Hindustani admitted that for being able to buy one vote, he was entitled to commission worth 5 to 10 crores of rupees.
The cash for votes scam had taken placed when the ruling United Progressive Alliance, led by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, allegedly bribed lawmakers of other parties to survive a confidence vote. The trust vote had taken place after the Communist Party of India (Marxist) led Left Front had withdrawn support from the government over the issue of the Indo-US nuclear deal.
It is being expected that Amar Singh of Samajwadi Party would be soon interrogated by the police in this connection. However how far the authorities will be able to peek into the details is a question.
See the laugh on Sohail Hindustani face. That bugger knows nothing much is going to happen to him.
Opium of the Masses ?
Karl Marx is supposed to have said ,
“ Religion is the opium of the masses “
Indian politicians are re-writing this to read,
“ Voting in a democratic state is the opium of the masses “
Vote and get into a state of stupor !
Why else would they all gang-up to make voting compulsory ?
Forgetting their differences, political parties are telling the Indian voters :
“ You must vote.
We are giving you a vast choice to vote and select from amongst 10 / 20 / 30 thoroughly incompetent / corrupt / criminal candidates.
With so much choice, what is your problem ?
If you still do not vote, you are a traitor and must be put behind the bars.”
But the voters are saying :
We will go and vote, only when the law permits us to cast a “ negative vote “ – or provide a blank space on voting paper where we can add the name and vote for an honest neighbor who has neither money for a poll-campaign, nor for “ security deposit ‘ and who we know, will not rob / torture / rape us for the next 5 years.
We will go and vote when we have a “ Right to Recall “ those who utterly fail to represent us.
