The self proclaimed
only honest politician of India, Arvind Kejriwal has become a darling of the
judiaciary as he is being invited in the dock almost cvery month in
connection with different cases. He makes haste in levelling charges to earn
cheap popularity and when the aggrieved
party challenges, he falls flat. In the wake of the Godhra incident, Narendra
Modi, the then Chief Minister of Gujarat was involved in about a dozen of
cases. On the request of the complainants, at least two cases were
transferred to Mumbai so that he could not influence justice being done. He
came out of all with flying colours whereas the Delhi CM is learning hard the consequences of levelling baseless charges.
During Anna Hazare’s
Lokpal agitation, Kejriwal had raised corruption charges against several
politicians, mainly of the ruling Congress and hardly any could go to the court
of law to bring the accused to book. Then he targeted Nitin Gadkari, the acting
BJP President, who was in the fray to be duly elected party chief. At such a
critical juncture, Kejriwal publicly levelled false charges against him and he
had to back out from the party election. But Gadkari did not allow Kejriwal to
run scot free. He filed a defamation charge. When in the court of law, charges
were on the brink of getting proved hollow, he begged to be pardoned and
Gadkaari did not press any more.
Some few months back,
when the office room of Rajendra Kumar, IAS officer under Delhi Govt. was
searched, Kejriwal felt crestfallen and out of vengeance, bounced back and got a case filed against the
then Police Commissioner, B.S. Bassi that the latter had illegally purchased a flat at Rohini . The court has found no mala
fide in the case and it has been discharged. Now it is upto Bassi to file a
counter case of defamation, asking for a huge compensation. Who is now having
the last laugh ?
You may be remembering
that Kejriwal had used a defamatory word like ‘Thulla’ for the police. A
constable, has filed a case against him under the plea that such demeaning
remarks demoralized the police force. When Kejriwal realized the gaffe, he
tried to retrace the boo-boo, but by then the judiciary had taken cognizance. He has been summoned to
appear in person on June 10. It does not behove of a public figure like a chief
minister to face a constable in the court. But then so is our fighter CM.
In this connection, the
hydrogen bomb is going to to be exploded by Arun Jaitley, who has filed a
defamation case against Kejriwal and party for calling him corrupt. On behalf
of the DCCBI also a case has been registered against the Delhi CM, charging
corrupt practices in that cricketing body. Jaitley has demanded Rs ten crore as
compensation. The day this case was filed in the Patiala House court, both the
BJP and the AAP supporters had organized processions and demonstrations to prop
up their leaders. Ram Jethamalani. the top criminal advocate and some leading
practising lawyers belonging to the Congress are extending their legal
consultancy to Kejriwal. No ideology is involved here. For the Congress,
restless at opposition benches, any stick is handi to beat Modi. However, the
unattached legal brains are privately expressing that Kejriwal is in deep soup.
The latest from this
so-called honest politician is his RTI about Narendra Modi’s educational
qualification. Gujarat University VC declared that with 63% marks, Modi had
cleared MA in political science in first division. Now Kejriwal wants to know
about the graduation result. When this is also available, he may not quit,
instead may ask for high school and then primary school results. Thanks to the
Delhi voters, who have elected an individual who has a lot of time to pursue
such petty issues. He spends so much
time and resources on odd-even but does tot stop registration of diesel cars. Are
not there any more useful other public works for the Delhi Govt?
