Raja, who represents the DMK in the Lok Sabha, has been nominated to the Standing Committee on Energy. Kalmadi, Congress member of the Lok Sabha, has been nominated to the Standing Committee on External Affairs.
The Parliamentary Standing Committees examine the bills and give suggestions to the proposed legislations related to the ministries concerned.
Raja, who was arrested in connection with the 2G scam on Feb 2 last year, is on bail since May 15 this year. Kalmadi also spent about nine months in jail before being released on bail on Jan 19 this year.
DMK MP Kanimozhi, who was also accused in some cases related to the 2G spectrum allocation, has been nominated to the Standing Committee on Home Affairs.

Karunanidhi, the self-appointed Dravidian Leader of Dravidians(?) and Leader Of Tamils( who sat through the killing of Tamils in Sri Lanks and whose daughter Kanimozhi hobnobbed with Rajapakshe in SriLanka and accepted bouquets and gifts from him ),having been made to bite the dust in the Tamil Nadu hustings,unable to stem the war of acrimony and struggle to capture his party by his sons and besieged by 2 G scam has been trying vigorously to capture the imagination of the voters.
His Party’s Self-determination for Tamil Nadu and a separate Statehood has been given a decent burial and he can not revive it now for fear of the party being banned.
He is a chap who went on to bury The Constitution of India(that’s what he said, while burning a copy of the Constitution) only to declare later in the Court that he had burned a piece of paper and not the Constitution!
He is a guy who laid down on Rail Track knowing pretty well that there are no Trains that will pass through then.
He is the moral authority on Kannagi who has a Wife and ‘Thunaivi’ openly
Nor can he cry hoarse on the domination of North over South by shouting ‘வடக்கு வாழ்கிறது ,தெற்கு தேய்கிறது ‘ as his son’s post as a Central Minister and the fate of his Daughter Kanimozhi and great-nephew Dayanidhi Maran hinges on Sonia Gandhi‘s whims; he had to wait on wheel chair to get postings for his relatives at the Centre,wait for hours to meet Sonia Gandhi.
What of his much touted ‘Self Respect?’
His call for demanding Devikulam and Peermedu from Kerala for Tamil Nadu in the wake of Mullai Periyar Dam issue had no takers.
Nor can he talk about Hindi as he is at the feet of Hindi.
So his favorite whipping boy is Brahmins(that his statements that he is against Brahminism and not against Brahmins is another comedy).
Brahmins do not beg for Reservations nor do they call other Communities names.
They do not harass SC/ST.
Take the Statistics of SC/ST harassment cases-how many Brahmins were involved?
When DMK came to power late Bhaktavatsalam,former CM of Tamil Nadu, stated that vermin has infested Tamil Nadu, which has come true and Tamil Nadu has not been able to get rid of these thugs, who find opportunity in every thing to steal from the Public.
Brahmins never retaliated for it is not in their blood.
They quietly slipped away from Tamil Nadu to other States and Countries.
Will Karunanidhi divulge the names of his Doctors, Lawyers and other Professionals whom he goes to for advice?
I know personally a couple of Doctors , Lawyers and Accountants who are Brahmins with whom Karunanidhi consults.
What is Karunanidhi’s contribution to Tamil Literature as compared to Nakkerar(not porn tabloid Nakkeran), Agasthiyar, Tholkappiyar,Uruthinkannanaar,Kapilar,Gnana Sambandar,Periyazhvaar,and a host of others from the Sangam period to Bharathi,U.Ve.Saminatha Iyer,Ki,Va.Jagannathan?
Karunanidhi can write street Prose which sounds nice to the ears but does not stand the scrutiny of Tamil Grammar, convert Tholkaapiyam, a great Work, into soft porn in Tholkappiyappoonga.
He has not so far replied to mistakes pointed out in his Tholkaapiyappoonga in a Book , which incidentally was not written by a Brahmin
To day nobody bothers about castes, ask any youngster,he will ask you’what’.
If Tamil Magazines/Papers praise him then they are’நடு நிலை ஏடுகள் ; other wise they are’மவுண்ட் ரோடு மஹா விஷ்ணு, பார்ப்பன ஏடுகள்’
Disgusting creature worthy to be ignored.
I write this piece only to high light his non sense and double speak.
This author does not believe in divisions in the Society as portrayed by Karunanidhi nor is he against those who do nor happen to be Brahmins.
In the strictest sense of Hinduism there is no Brahmin today.
(Why cant the Government take action against him for inciting violence and breeding enmity between Communities amounting to Law and Order problem?
Thanks to the CBI which did not oppose the bail application of Kanimozhi on the 2 G scam case,Kanimozhi who along with Raja was kept in custody under various sections including section 409,which attracts severe jail term, was granted bail today.
That the CBI will not oppose the bail application of Kanimozhi was anticipated.Please read my blog on this .
What is surprising is the fact that the Special Court sought an assurance from the CBI that it would not treat the different accused differently charged under for the 2G scam(taking note of media reports that the CBI will not object to the bail plea of Kanimozhi)
and now the High Court seems to have brushed aside this point.
Also the Special Court observed that the accused ‘was an influential person and an MP and as such the consideration of being a woman will not apply in this case’
Now HC has ignored this as well stating that she is’ private person’
If Kanimozhi is a Private person,Kalmadi of CWG scam does not even exist!
The court had sought a clarification from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the defence on Section 409 (criminal breach of trust) of the IPC saying the Supreme Court judgement granting bail to five corporate executives was silent on a charge that attracts maximum punishment of life term in the case.
Justice VK Shali heard the day-long arguments on the bail applications of Kanimozhi, Kalaignar TV chief Sharad Kumar, Cineyug Films’ Karim Morani, Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd directors Asif Balwa and Rajiv B Agarwal and former telecom secretary Siddharth Behura.
“The Supreme Court judgement does not mention Section 409. I am not saying that the apex court was ignorant of the fact but it is silent on the issue,” said Justice Shali.
“The day the order (on bail) was passed, charges were crystallised in the trial court and it cannot be said that this fact was not known to the Hon’ble Supreme Court.”
Justice Shali referred to the judgement of the Supreme Court in the case and said it talked about maximum sentence of seven years which could be awarded to accused (corporate accused) if they are convicted.
Responding to the query of the judge, senior advocate Altaf Ahmed, who appeared for Kanimozhi, said the apex court was aware of charges framed also under Section 409 of the IPC and its order is binding on all courts.
Meanwhile, the CBI did not oppose the bail pleas of Kanimozhi and four others saying they were private persons.
However, it opposed Behura’s plea saying being a public servant he misused his position.
At this rate the accused and witnesses might even sue the CBI for interrupting them in their legal vocation of bribing and cheating!
The CBI should have invented a reason to throw these guys ,including Raja and Kanimozhi for lodging them in jail under Goondas Act.
A Delhi court today asked CBI to file its response to the allegation of an accused in the 2G spectrum allocation scam case that the agency resorted to an “unhealthy practice” of calling a witness “unofficially” to its office in a bid to “tamper” with the evidence.
Special CBI Judge O P Saini issued a notice to the agency seeking its response by November 23 on a plea filed by Vinod Goenka, a director of Swan Telecom and an accused in the case.
Advocate Majid Memon, appearing for Goenka, filed the application saying prosecution witness A N Sethuraman, Group President of Reliance ADA Group, was “unauthorisedly” and “suspiciously” called by CBI two days before recording of his statement on November 11 in the court.
This was done in the name of refreshing his memory and it amounted to interfering with the trial in an illegal manner, Memon alleged.
The allegation also got the support from Sethuraman, whose cross examination concluded today as he testified “the CBI official did say to me to follow whatever I had earlier stated in my statement (given to the agency).”
“It has transpired in the cross-examination of Sethuraman that shortly before giving of evidence, the witness (Sethuraman) was suspiciously and unauthorisedly invited to the CBI office by a CBI officer and was given his statement under section 161 CrPC to be read for the first time. This is impermissible in law.
BJP, despite its wish to think otherwise, has been very soft on 2 G scam, when compared to its vociferous soundbites on CWG and vote -for-money scam.
Earlier Advani declared that the DMK is being made a scapegoat in the 2G issue.
At best he could have said that Congress is more accountable in 2G scam than DMK.
Now Gadkari says,,with his legal acumen that Kanimozhi should be granted bail because the charge sheet has been framed.
He does not seem to have read the reasons cited by the Magistrate O.P.Saini that Kanimozhi is being denied bail on the ground that
-Kanimozhi is not being discriminated against her being a woman(Kanimozhi in her bail application has stated that she is a woman!) as she is an MP and she is influential.
-She holds political power and as such can tamper with the evidence) which is a correct observation considering the fact that her father Karunanidhi, who never found time to meet up with Sonia Gandhi on the State’s problems or on the issue of Tamils being killed in Sri Lanka,met up with Sonia Gandhi and revealed that he got her assurance in this case;predictably the CBI leaked out the information that it will not oppose Kanimozhi’s bail.
-She could tamper with the evidence,(One might recall that Sadiq Pasha was murdered -he was reportedly close to SUN group and was expected to spill the beans and the case has been closed as suicide!)
-Why the CBI wants to apply different yardsticks on bail applications for different people?
One can not, under the circumstances , as the BJP is expecting a break of ties between Congress and DMK , BJP is not getting the response as it should form Advani’s Rath Yatra,BJP does not have an agenda to fight the elections right now,and that too many squabbles with in the BJP, escape the conclusion that the BJP is cozying up with the DMK to bring into its fold to fight the election.
But the Corruption ties of the DMK and the Congress are too intricate and intertwined to allow either the Congress or the DMK to leave the other.
Replying to questions on Rajat Sharma‘s Aap Ki Adalat show, Gadkari said now that a chargesheet has been filed in the 2G scam, Kanimozhi surely deserved bail.
“I am not making a political point. But as far as my legal knowledge goes, once a chargesheet has been filed, the accused should have been granted bail.
“I can assure you even our party would not allege that the Congress connived to get Kanimozhi bail.”
The BJP president went on to allege that the Congress was targeting its alliance partners and political opponents by misusing the CBI.
“Except Suresh Kalmadi, not a single Congress leader has been indicted so far. Don’t you think Chidambaram is responsible for the 2G scam? The Congress is targeting its alliance partners like DMK, NCP and other political opponents.
“I have seen the Commonwealth Games files. There were signatures of the PM, Cabinet Secretary, Group of Ministers and pre-qualification norms were changed. Is Kalmadi alone responsible?
“Why was no action taken on V K Shunglu Committee report against Sheila Dikshit? Why was the Lokayukta report against the Delhi minister rejected?”, asked Gadkari.
