A few months back when I first wrote about the cash-for-vote scam where MPs were shown holding bundles of currencies in the parliament accusing a few opposition party MPs of trying to bribe them to vote for the government in the no-confidence motion voting, I also wrote that there is nothing that is going to be done of these accused MPs.
The verdict is finally in. A panel of committee specially set-up for the investigation finally adjudged Amar Singh the main accused in the scam, not guilty. That stamped the fact that in India, no politicians can be punished.
I wonder why we spend so much money on these committees and investigations. We should rather dismiss these cases at the onset itself, so that at least we save on this money (hard earned money of ours that we pay as tax) and use that in some other better way. Here again, one would question the better way, because the better way would then be into the pockets of these politicians itself.
We need more of the peace march that we did to the Gateway of India after the Mumbai terror attacks. We need a revolution and a revolution can only happen when we, the mob wakes up.

The ethics being practised by the Political Parties in India stooped to a new low during the vote of confidence by the Indian government in the Parliament on 22nd July 2008. There were rumors that money was being offered by certain politicians to MLAs from the opposition to vote for them or, abstain from voting. These news were denied by various sources and the entire nation prayed that these refutals were true.

But that was not to be.

People who watched the live telecast of the vote of confidence in the Parliament witnessed the above picture of one of our Member of Parliament flashing bundles of notes that he claims were offered as "Bribes".

From the next day onwards started balming and counter blaming by the party in power and the opposition parties. Along with it came a few tapes and recordings, whiche were claimed to be spy-videos (which later proved to be fake ones) of people offering and yet others receiving bribes. This went on to such an extent that a few people even started blaming certain political parties to have masterminded a few bomb blasts in the country to distract the attention from the investigations about this cash-for-vote scam. It is a pity that the politicians of a nation, who ideally are the ones responsible for the country, did not have time to weep or, express their condolences to the hundreds who died in these blasts, but found time to gain mileage out of it. Waht a dirty political story is this?
