Ending months of uncertainty, President Pratibha Patil has rejected the city Lokayukta's recommendation to sack Delhi PWD Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan for his alleged involvement in protecting a leading resort in a tax evasion case.
The Home Ministry on Wednesday conveyed decision of the President through a letter to Lokayukta Justice Manmohan Sarin who indicated his deep disappointment over rejection of his recommendation, saying such reverses are expected when moral values are sought to be enforced.
"The President has not accepted the findings and recommendations made by the Lokayukta against Chauhan," the Home Ministry said in the letter.
With due respect the office of the President of India, I strongly feel that barring granting of clemency to the convicts, whose death sentence are confirmed by the Supreme Court, all other 'powers to pardon' from the President must be revoked, through a constitutional amendment.
Otherwise, the party in power would always recommend their cronies to be excused and the President wouldn't have any choice than to oblige.
At this rate of exonerations, 1 million Lokpals will not be able to do any good to the country!
