this statement<\/a> from Dr. Singh, (sorry for this expression, but reality can\u2019t be further from this) the faithful dog of Sonia Gandhi, comes on the heels of RTI and the questioning by Narendra Modi of Sonia Gandhi\u2019s trips abroad for her own health treatments.<\/p>\nWhatever may have been the reply and window dressing \u2013 when the whole machinery of the Government gets in to motion to obfuscate the evidences \u2013 the answer was neither here nor there.<\/p>\n
As for the cry of \u201cPrivacy\u201d of Dr. Manmohan Singh, it is complete farce!\u00a0 Modi was correct to push that question into the public domain, for the question wanted to know if the Tax Payers\u2019 monies had been used for Sonia Gandhi\u2019s \u201cpersonal expenses\u201d.\u00a0 This is NOT a personal question for Sonia Gandhi or breach of Privacy, but a tax payer\u2019s right to understand where his\/her money that he gave on trust to his\/her Government is being used.<\/p>\n
Let me put it differently, if I start using travel expense money that my company pays me to buying personal gifts, then if the auditors question me to provide evidence to prove my innocence, then it is NOT a breach of Privacy, but a RIGHT of the company as to where its money is being spent which it has provided me on trust!<\/p>\n
I know that for Dr. Singh, who heads one of the most corrupt Government that India has seen since the Mughals (yes, Brits were kindergarteners compared to these plunderers!), Tax Money really means his or his coterie of Ministers\u2019 personal monies.\u00a0 But it is NOT!\u00a0 And that is another thing that I didn\u2019t really expect this farcical integrity-peddling idiot to understand.<\/p>\n
