I used to think most of the criminal charges were political attacks and empty of merit but after the Devyani Khobragade affair last year I'm thinking otherwise. Indians defend this corrupt diplomat on two grounds: her nationality and her class. The fact that she may have had diplomatic immunity does not provide her with immunity from crimes committed against Indian law (lying on her maid's application and phony charges made against the maid to get an arrest warrant issued) but neither the Indian government nor the Indian public is pursuing this.

No need to burst their bubble.

Here are some cases against a candidate

3 charges related to Voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty (IPC Section-332)

4 charges related to Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention (IPC Section-34)

3 charges related to rioting (IPC Section-147)

3 charges related to Rioting, armed with deadly weapon (IPC Section-148)

Diplomats are EXPECTED to Lie. That is pat of their job description

They are expected to break the law of the host nation in pursuit of their goals of securing their nations interest. THAT is why they have legal immunity from local laws. LOL.

US diplomat are expected to state with a straight face that there are no spy's operating from their embassy.

What your post tells me is that you are a racist bigot. This was exposed earlier during your post about that racist cartoon. It only confirms our doubt.

Fact is that yes, you are right...Modi has people who are not supposed to be in the cabinet...But again, it is a choice of better devil than the monster Congress Party....I hope that Arvind Kejriwal will find its feet in the politics...They are good guys but lacks political acument to survive in the politics of India...But again, I am hopeful...Till i get the better person other than Modi, i will keep my support with Nationalist leader like Modi rather than coward and anti national Congress party...

(Reuters) - Attempted murder, waging war on the state, criminal intimidation and fraud are some of the charges on the rap sheets of ministers Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi appointed to the cabinet on Sunday, jarring with his pledge to clean up politics.Seven of 21 new ministers face prosecution, taking the total in the 66-member cabinet to almost one third, a higher proportion than before the weekend expansion.

At least five people in the cabinet have been charged with serious offences such as rape and rioting.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said any suggestions there were criminals in the cabinet were "completely baseless.

"These are cases arising out of criminal accusations, not cases out of a crime," he told reporters on Monday, adding that Modi had personally vetted the new ministers.

Ram Shankar Katheria, a lawmaker from Agra, was appointed junior education minister yet has been accused of more than 20 criminal offences including attempted murder and promoting religious or racial hostility.

Katheria was not immediately available for comment and a mobile phone number given by his office was switched off.

The inclusion of such politicians does not sit easily with Modi's election promise to root out corruption, and has led to criticism that he is failing to change the political culture in India where wealthy, tainted politicians sometimes find it easier to win votes."It shows scant respect for the rule of law or public sentiment," said Jagdeep Chhokar, co-founder of the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) which campaigns for better governance. "Including these people in the cabinet is a bad omen for our democracy."Modi won the biggest parliamentary majority in three decades in May with a promise of graft-free governance after the previous government led by Congress party was mired in a series of damaging corruption scandals.



NEW CABINET MORE TAINTED THAN OLD?

Soon after coming to power, Modi called for courts to fast track cases against politicians in an effort to curb political criminality in the world's largest democracy. Cases in India's overstretched judicial system often drag on for years.Yet Modi's cabinet includes twice as many politicians facing criminal charges as the previous Congress party one.Hansraj Gangaram Ahir, the new junior chemicals and fertilizer minister, was another eye-catching choice. He is charged with around 20 offences, including intent to wage war against India, criminal intimidation and abetting a mutiny.

Ahir did not respond to requests for comment, and it was not immediately clear what incidents the more serious charges pertained to. His secretary said the cases were politically motivated.

Ahir is best known for helping unearth corruption in the coal industry while he served on a parliamentary committee.

Shrikant Sharma, a spokesman for Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), said it was up to courts to decide if ministers were guilty, and said many of the charges related to political rivalries.The BJP is led by Amit Shah, the closest aide of Modi, who is accused of ordering police to carry out three extrajudicial killings and running an extortion racket when he served under Modi as home minister in Gujarat almost a decade ago.

He has denied the charges. He is facing a trial in Mumbai.The number of lawmakers charged with offences has more than doubled in the last two decades. About a third of federal and state legislators face charges, the ADR said.Politicians facing criminal charges are twice as likely to win an election as their untainted peers, making them the preferred choice of candidates for political parties in India, according to a study published last year by the group.In office, these politicians are sometimes accused of enriching themselves or their backers by siphoning off money from government spending."We hear again and again the country's leaders promise to clean up the system," said Satish Misra, a political analyst at the Observer Research Foundation. "Self interest prevails over principles. That is why the system never changes."

Indian political leaders are quite thick skinned and hardened political warriors. I doubt if what you post is going to demoralize them.

There are plenty of names in the news, I am asking which one of them YOU think is not suitable for cabinet role and why.

What a mockery of a democracy.
