The following is my email to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
sent today (May 5) through the PMO website:
Respected Pradhan Mantri Manmohan ji,
It's good that the CBI has acted swiftly in the railway
bribe-for-choice post case. However, I feel that as a learned man, you already
know that your image of an honest person among the masses has been tarnished by
a host of alleged scams in your second tenure as PM. Your silence or late
reaction in comparison to the opposition's recurring high-voltage attacks in
corruption cases has shaken people's faith in your govt. Every new expose on
corruption abets more and more Indians to unabashedly resort to corrupt means
to get things done or gobble up government funds. This state of affairs leaves
honest people and government staff demoralized. To check this demoralization,
you must address the nation, frankly telling your stand (or accepting your
government's faults) in important corruption cases. You must detail out plans
(or actions your government has taken) to come down heavily on the corrupt. It
will be a historic precedent in Indian politics.
