CVC Case,What are you Manmohan Singh?

S.M.Krishna does not know to locate his  a Speech.

Prime Minister does not know the file.

PrithviRaj Chavan will point at a section officer, he, a case worker!

Excellent!

Hand over Kashmir to Pakistan ,state ‘error of judgement,a chaprasi did not prepare a note’.

New Delhi: Triggering a new controversy, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Tuesday said former minister of state for personnel and training Prithviraj Chavan (currently Maharashtra chief minister) had prepared the file on the controversial ex-bureaucrat P.J. Thomas for selection as chief vigilance commissioner (CVC).

“…Was I aware of the charge-sheet against Shri Thomas, the honest answer is that the notes which were prepared by the department and these notes are prepared under the guidance of the minister of state in charge of the DoPT (department of personnel and training), that note did not contain this information,” Manmohan Singh said in the Rajya Sabha, after making a statement on the issue.

Reiterating that “there was a error of judgement”, the prime minister said he took “full responsibility” and was “accountable” for the decision.

‘If SC says it is illegal,it is illegal’Law Minister on CVC.

What a gem?

We have a Law Minster who can not stop the appointment of a tainted CVC.

We also have HR Ministry.

No body seems to have objected to the appointment of  CVC.

PM Manmohan Singh ,as usual, is not aware.

Well, what has he been aware of, be it ISRO scam,2G scam?

Blissfully ignorant or callously indifferent or is there a crooked  politician  inside?

Look at the ‘Good Conduct Certificate he issued to Raja last year.

Still he is Mr.Clean!

If senior appointments are to be struck down by SC, why have an Executive?

Unnecessarily forcing Judiciary to intervene into Executive and later moaning Judiciary is intervening!

Is this all necessary?

For some. it is.

Chief Vigilance Commissioner P J Thomas resigned from his post on Thursday following the Supreme Court verdict which quashed the appointment of the former bureaucrat.

Soon after the SC judgment was out, Union Law Minister M Veerappa Moily [ Images ] met Prime Manmohan Singh [ Images ] where he reportedly told that if Thomas didn’t quit now, he will have to be dismissed.

Meanwhile, the apex court noted that Thomas’ appointment is ‘illegal’ and he must go. The SC also stated that the United Progressive Alliance [ Images ] government ignored the corruption taint on Thomas.

However, the palmolein case was not mentioned in the SC ruling. Thomas is an accused in the case.

The Supreme Court said that the high-powered committee’s recommendation on appointment of Thomas ‘does not exist in law.’

The committee, for whatsoever reason, failed to consider relevant material recommending action against Thomas, SC also noted.

The apex court rejected the government’s contention that vigilance clearance given by the CVC in 2008 was the basis for empanelment of Thomas as a candidate for the post of CVC.

The committee and no government authority focussed on the larger issue of institutional integrity of the office of CVC while recommending the name of Thomas, SC noted.

The apex court stated the touchstone for the appointment of the CVC is the institutional integrity as well as the personal integrity of the candidate.
