showing a mirror to a blind

For the past 2 days all the news channels and newspapers are over-busy on reporting of the irregularities connected with the Commonwealth Games. The readers and viewers are also very much interested to discuss the matter as if they are going to change the whole scenario in a moment. But what is the use of sowing seeds in the desert and wasting water to nourish it?

If we go through the records of the past there have been a number of scams and financial irregularity ion the country after independence. Much hue and cry is made on the issue for a certain period of time and once another scam comes to light, not only the people but also the Govt. very easily forget the older issues. You may appropriately say that it is thrown in to dustbins.The list of such blacklisted persons is very long but we still accept them as the crusader for reasons best known to us.Whenever a new Govt. is formed the first thing it tries to do is to find the irregularities of the earlier Govt., inquiry commission is set up, joint parliamentary committee is formed and after a few years the result is a BIG ZERO. Can any one tell me whether any stringent action has yet been taken against the erring persons? Wasting of precious time and public money is the only aim of these commissions and committees. Had this money and time been utilised for some productive purpose the situation of the country would have turned much better by now.I still remember the recommendations of the JPC on the Hawala case was not implemented in spite of the fact that the members of the JPC were from different political parties.
So would not be prudent for the public, the press and the GOVERNMENT AS WELL to overlook this episode connected with the Commonwealth Games, because we have already set a trend that misuse of public money is the birth right of a handful of people in this country. After all they have been granted boon by the Almighty.
Lastly, who says that the concerned persons have done anything wrong, after all it is COMMONWEALTH and they are COMMONERS, so they have a right over the funds of the commonwealth. Oh God, did not you say "Yada yada ho dharmasya-----" How long would you rest in peace in VAIKUNTHA, after so much GLANI of DHARMA in the country? God, are you listening to me or you have turned deaf in the noise of bullets and bombs in the land?
