Probe the fresh revelation in 2G Scam

With the corporate lobbyist Nira Radia reportedly linking Union Agriculture Minister and NCP boss Sharad Pawar to 2G Scam-tainted DB reality during her interrogation by CBI, a fresh controversy has arisen. She made this alleged link before the CBI, though denying anything to back her allegation. Her statement is part of the CBI charge sheet but she has herself made it clear that it is the perception in Mumbai that she is talking about and she has no documentary proof to back it.Radia has alleged that scam tainted DB Reality boss is known to Pawar. What is big thing in it. Baramati has been strong political hold of Sharad Pawar as it has been his parliamentary constituency and the DB Reality boss’s father has set-up a big milk processing unit there . In the given scenario, it is quiet natural Pawar may know them. It is a matter of serious investigation but one thing is clear that all the politicians can not be called corrupt and dishonest, but few among them may have been neck-deep in it and there can not be any corrupt practices in the government without the help from politicians in power. It is an indisputed fact that the democracy can not suirvive without political class but it does not mean that the corruption should be allowed to flourish day by day under its cover . Though Maratha stallwart has trashed Nira Radia reportedly linking him to DB reality, it is up to him to come clean by the way he feels appropriate. It is also true that making allegation against anyone is very easy but at the same time it is very difficult to collect the evidence to prove the allegation. It may be possible here that as Nira Radia is a corporate lobbyist, she may have dragged the name of big and powerful politician to distract the attention from the main guilty person. 2G Scam is the biggest in the history of our nation. There has been allegation of scandal worth Rs1.76 lakh. So, it must be thoroughly probed within a fixed time and deterrent punishment must awarded so that there could never be a repeat of scam of 2G magnitude. But in democracy, as long as the nexus between politician-bureaucrat- businessman continues to flourish, the corruption in government department can not be checked.
