Below is a recent news item that shows how apolitical Mohandasians turn into crypto-politicians. It is important to remember that Mohandas (K Gandhi) was a dirty and bad politician who sacrifised Hindu interests for his personal aggrandisements and whims besides foisting Jawahar, another poisonous moron, on the nations as the Prime Minister.
Ghaziabad: Facing allegations of financial misconduct, Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal today said that he will quit the anti-graft movement if "corruption of even Rs 10 is proved" against him.
On the day the movement's audit report for six months starting April was released, Kejriwal also dared the Congress and the BJP to make public information about all the donations received by the parties.
Claiming that allegations were levelled against him and other Team Anna members to weaken the movement, he said, "I challenge those making the allegations, our accounts are on the web site, if they prove corruption of even Rs 10, I will leave the movement and surrender for being punished."
Speaking to reporters at the office of India Against Corruption, he said, "Congress had recently made public funds received by it. If the party wants to maintain a clean image, it should release information about all the money received by it from other sources".
He also asked the opposition BJP to follow suit.
Kejriwal's statement came even as Congress leader Digvijay Singh targeted him again.
"For Anna's Super Team. Na Khata na Bahi. Jo Kejriwal kahe woh sahi!" (No accounts, no books, whatever Kejriwal says is right), Singh said on a popular micro-blogging website.
The AICC general secretary was apparently reacting to allegations against Kejriwal of siphoning off Rs 80 lakh from India Against Corruption to his trust and Team Anna's decision to return Rs 42.55 lakh to donors who "did not provide their complete details and their sources of funding".
Kejriwal claimed that it was not valid.
"Many more officers like me have left the job after training but government has never initiated action against them," he said and alleged that authorities had acted with prejudice in his case.
He said that he will pay Rs 9.27 lakh in dues to the department but needed time to arrange the money.
Kejriwal said that he and other members had briefed Anna Hazare about the meeting of core committee. He said that Hazare did not want to change the members on the basis of "charges levelled by government".
Kejriwal said he was ready to face all proceedings if any charge of corruption is proved against him.
Amongst other things Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal said:
Facing allegations of financial misconduct, Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal today said that he will quit the anti-graft movement if "corruption of even Rs 10 is proved" against him.
Remark: Hiding behind innocent until proven guilty! How about prima facie evidence? If we apply the same standards on A Raja, is A Raja guilty? Have the charges been proven, as of now, in the court?
Not every one who joins the anti corruption movement need have an impeccable record, not even every leaer os anti corruption movement need have an impeccable record, that is record beyond even an iota of prima facie suspicion. However, those who want to brandish the moral wand must be above suspicion. This habit of post-hoc explanation will not do. Not that it makes Kejriwal guilty, but it surely makes Kejriwal a politician; and recall that he and his colleagues are hell bent upon discrediting all politicians!
On the day the movement's audit report for six months starting April was released, Kejriwal also dared the Congress and the BJP to make public information about all the donations received by the parties.
Remark: This is the game of counter-allegations. Kejriwal must ask his colleague Mr. Bhushan if such arguments are valid, except in politics!
Claiming that allegations were levelled against him and other Team Anna members to weaken the movement, he said, "I challenge those making the allegations, our accounts are on the web site, if they prove corruption of even Rs 10, I will leave the movement and surrender for being punished."
Remark: This (... weakening the movement ...) is exactly how a bad politician expects his followers to think. Recall what that psychophantic servile and fawning Congresspersons were claiming after Jawahar lost the war to China owing to his own incompetence and utter stupidities? They collectively reverberated: "We need to strengthen the hands of Panditji!". Strngthen the hands? My foot! Just this one reason (losing a war owing to your own whims, incompetence and stupidities) must be sufficient to disqualify every member of his extended clan from any position of national leadership.
All this happened in response to the tweet:
"For Anna's Super Team. Na Khata na Bahi. Jo Kejriwal kahe woh sahi!" (No accounts, no books, whatever Kejriwal says is right), Singh said on a popular micro-blogging website.
Dogvijay Singh who is an empty Kurta (empty suit) is able to direct the whole music! He tweets and this team starts singing! Now for the sake of argument if we assume that DS's claim is factual. That is, suppose there are no accounts. Then no charges can even be proven! So Kejriwal's defense becomes instantly invalid. However, this will indicate an even greater mismanagement on part of the anti-corruption movement.
The readers might ask of us: Do we believe that Team Anna is corrupt? The answer is: We don't know. Probably not, we hope. But what these proceedings surely exhibit is that Team Anna vs Politicians is more and more appearing to be a match between Children (Team Anna) and Adults (Politicians). Now how long can the children rely only on public sympathy and an unquestioned and unflinching faith in the purity of these children is an important question to be investigated.
And any movement to genuinely transform Indian political landscape must necessarily incorporate discrediting of secularism and socialism.
