“Ever upwards, ever onwards . . .” – CBI’s Progress

The old Errol Flynn starrer, “Don Juan”, starts with the above words, which may be a quote from somewhere else, and shots of the Hero climbing up to some female’s window. In Spectral, Irradiated, Gamey-scammy cases it will be premature to compare CBI or the Court to the Hero yet, but slowly the Long arm of the Law seems to be uncoiling and stretching out higher and higher to grope or feel up the various National Level looters, instead of picking on some Hindu Pavement Dweller or Sanyasi for scape-goatifying.

Yesterday Kalmadi has been arrested, and Sonia has promptly expelled him from her Party. Such Golden Rectitude. And of all the thousand things he was guilty of in the CWG, the CBI chose the Queen’s Baton to shaft him. As the guid booke sayeth, it was in another country and besides the wench is nearly dead – of old age. So he may get away with it, leaving the babucracy holding the sacks of ordure, toilet paper rolls etc, and they may also get away with a token rap on the knuckles.

Cunnymozhi, we are told will be next, and though the case against her should be of the biological open-and-shut variety, we are informed it is a “weak case”, of the in-and-out-every-minute type. 200 crores came in and went out every minute so no case of tax-dodging, bribery etc. And 20% in KalaignarTV does not involve Kalaignar and is a “minority” thing too; hence No Entry please. As the Tamils say, “No connection between Ghulam Khader and Gokulashtami” – or we will futwa the dickens out of you.

Curunanidhi’s current senior-most wife holds 80% of Kalignar TV, but does not know any language other than Tamil, is 80+ years old, and is the CM’s wife. She has given a carte blanche to Sharad Kumar, and only attends Board Meets to make up a quorum, on whose demand is not stated. Is she a signatory to various things or is she a LTI person – we are not informed. Is she a Dummy, like our Honest PM, we can only guess. So CBI unpressuredly, and without Malice leaves her out of the shitpot.

As on date, Sonia the Fake Gandhi, and Manmohan  Rawalpindi Singh, and the Doctor Kalaignar are still being kept out of the loop, but Progress may still catch up with them.

Which is why we quoted “ever upwards, ever onwards.”
