The Stalanist and Polpotist portal The Wire’s headline reads: “Setback for Modi, Macron as French Judge Opens Criminal Investigation Into Rafale Deal With India.”
God knows what is the setback here? The news is, and it is carried by a French website Mediapart, that a French judge has been appointed to lead a judicial investigation into alleged corruption and favouritism in the Rs 59,000 crore sale to India of 36 fighter aircraft.
Well it is just the beginning of the process, but the Congress ecosystem is tom-tomming as though the French judge has already given a verdict against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French Presidents including Francois Hollande and Emanuel Macron.
Meanwhile, the Congress party is demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe. But, we would like to ask them why didn’t they demand a JPC probe when the Supreme Court was flooded with PILs seeking termination of the Rafale deal?
Let’s assume that a JPC is formed. Will it bring out the truth, especially after the Supreme Court had found no wrongdoing, following the scrutinisation of documents given to it in sealed envelopes?
Millions would say no. Then why on earth is the Congress pressing for a JPC probe? Probably, it is taking a cue from past JPC probes, which became the reason for the debacle of ruling dispensations.
Rajiv Gandhi, Narasimha Rao, Atal Behari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh governments – all tasted defeats after formation of the JPCs, looking into the alleged Bofors, Harshad Mehta, Crony Capitalism and 2G scams in their respective terms.
So, the Congress thinks the JPC probe is a magical wand that will catapult them to power by keeping the heat on Narendra Modi till 2024 general elections. But will it? But for sure, the Congress would be reduced to less than 50 seats in the next Parliamentary elections because the majority of the people in India look up to Narendra Modi as the only leader who can clean up the stables of corruption even further.
Jai Hind.
Note: “French cut” is a poorly executed cut shot which almost gets a batsman out in cricket.
