This refers to the article, “In the name of a paper, major manipulations” (December 22) by A Surya Prakash. Strangely, Congress workers turned the grant of bail by a Delhi court to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi into a victory celebration, as if the mother-son duo have been acquitted in the case. One need not be a rocket scientist to understand the devious way in which transactions between Associated Journals ltd and Young Indian limited took place.
I agree that the bigger issue is how political parties raise and spend funds. Thanks to Mr Subramanian Swamy, the BJP now has a golden opportunity to walk the extra mile and ensure that political party funding becomes more transparent to the public. The National Herald case is one issue that has been lingering on for years, as no political party had shown the will to come forward and become the torch-bearer.
