CVC SCAM

CVC, the Central Vigilance Commissioner, of India is a prestigious governing body to avoid corruption and crime related activities. Government has recently appointed a Commissioner which  has become headlines in the news. Why was this appointment a controversy ?

P.J.Thomas was already in trial for a case against him which involved smuggling of illegal goods into Kerala. At the same time, government was trying to appoint a CVC. The committee to appoint CVC consisted of majority of congress leaders and a BJP leader . Though the BJP leader suggested about this case against Mr.Thomas, decision was taken to appoint him as CVC ignoring the BJP leader's remarks, which led to a Controversy !

Finally, this issue was petitioned in supreme court by Mr.Lingdo. With no proper evidence to prove his innocence, Thomas was proved ineligible for the position. And thus the Supreme court has issued orders to PM to immediately remove P.J.Thomas from the post of a CVC.
                          
CVC's scam is probed out. The post is restored. The opposition party BJP's word did not go waste. After the judgement was delivered, the news  reporters tried to talk to him but he dodged and  refused. The truth is still alive because he  is proved guilty. Now a days these kind of scandals have been probed but not completed. Let us hope that the these kinds of issues are taken care of.
