''109 Indian prisoners in Italian jails, but govt clueless
NEW DELHI: Italy has cocked a snook at India by refusing to let its marines face Indian law. But ironic as it is, 109 Indian prisoners are reportedly languishing in Italian jails and the Indian government seems to have done precious little to help their case.
The country's record at helping its citizens who run into trouble abroad is, in any case, nothing to be proud of. Surprisingly, though, in the context of the Indians in Italian jails, the government seems to be completely clueless and is not even aware of the reasons behind their detention.
The explanation given by the government, in response to a question put up in the Rajya Sabha in February 2010, was that the Italian government maintains privacy about prisoners and has not informed New Delhi despite having been requestedstatus quo seems to have been maintained. '' As per our estimates, there would be at least 600-700 Indians in prisons here," says Sukhdev Singh Kang, a local Sikh leader in Milan. "But because so much secrecy is maintained by the Italian authorities, it is very difficult to find out the real picture."

A tinny country like Itlay showing us the Thumbs .Italy does not want to share Charge sheet filed In Heli-Scam in its Court.Takes away Marines which majority of Indians think with our Govt's blessings or due Govt's incompetence or both resulting in a very serious insult to our Judiciary .
Now as anticipated EU has come openly in support of Italy .
Our Govt is brainless to land INDIA in such a mess
AND WHAT FOR ????
Expressing concern that the CPI(M) might “take advantage of the situation and exploit the case for electoral reasons,” the newly consecrated Kerala cardinal Mar George Allenchery calls for a “peaceful solution”.
Secularism at its finest.
The wifes acceptance of money in lieu of letting the marines leave, could have influenced the courts in weakening its resolve.
View from From kerala coast,and you find, only blak smoke is emitting from the chimmeny of Rome!
