Subramanian Swami’s attack on Rajan and
Subramanian, two eminent, very senior and dedicated public servants, is despicable.
To dare to question the Indian-ness of these two distinguished Indians is uacceptable as well.
After strong public reaction BJP put out a
half-hearted disagreement with Swami’s “personal views”. This is laughable as
no decent establishment can allow any member the personal right to be abusive.
I listened to Arun jaitley on TV this
evening and cannot for the life of me understand the restraint with which
senior BJP members refer to Swami’s outrageous behaviour. He said that “even the Party President” has
disapproved of Swami’s remarks. It is as if they are not sure whether they will
be Swami’s next targets.
What is being lost is the fact that the
verbal assault on Rajan and Suramanian is not just a party matter. It is a
party matter to the extent that a party member, Swami, is involved in this
disgusting behaviour. On the other side are two very senior public servants who
are defenceless by virtue of their
official position. As in any
organisation , government or private, it is the CEO who is the ultimate
protector of the faith and honour of all those who serve under him. In this
case the PM is the CEO of the country and he should come out openly and atoutly
in defence of the officers and use his
party leadership to sharply and openly reprimand Swami. Nothing else will do
adequate justice to Rajan and Subramanian and all those who serve in government
positions.
