Supreme in Soup !

Two days back , Guwahati High Court said ,

"  CBI is illegal "

And placed Supreme Court in a soup - along with the Central Government and the CBI ( - in that order )

Today , Central Government will appeal to Supreme Court for a stay against HC order

V. Narayanswamy , Minister of State for Personnel ( to whom CBI reports ) will argue :

" CBI has been around for last 50 years. So it should be allowed to continue. This will affect its functioning "

But thousands who have been investigated , arrested , tried by CBI Courts and sent behind bars , will counter-argue :

" Immediately release us , cancel all cases against us and compensate us for your ' Illegal ' actions of past 50 years "

Irony is :

In 2G and Coalgate scams , Supreme Court itself ,

>    Directed CBI to investigate

>    Submit regular Status Reports ( without showing to Ministers )

>    Arrest the suspects and chargesheet them

So , to save its own face , Supreme Court will , no doubt , grant a stay

But , simultaneously , it must direct the Central Government as follows :

>    Today , there are 3 wings of the government , viz: Legislative / Judiciary

       / Administrative. Amend the Constitution to create a 4th wing , called

      AUDIT WING

>    Make it an independent / autonomous wing under LokPal

>    Make CBI - CAG - CVC - CIC , report to LokPal

>    Make LokPal report to the President of India

>    Under this AUDIT WING Act , retrospectively , validate / legalise , all  

      actions taken by CBI since 1963

>    Empower central LokPal to appoint State Lok-Ayukts , without refering

       to the State Governments (  ala , appointments of State Governors  )

In any case , Rahul Gandhi wanted to grant LokPal , the status of a Constitutional Body ( remember his brief speech in Lok Sabha ? )

He can save UPA - 2 , a lot of embarassment by announcing above-mentioned points in a hurriedly called Press Conference !

And silence the Opposition Leaders who keep repeating that CBI is ,

>      A " Caged Parrot "

>      Hand-maid of the Government

>      Implements " His Master's Voice "

Forget 1000 tons of Unnao gold

Start digging the Constitutional Gold , to reverse all Opinion Polls findings !
