When the 2G Scam hit the headlines some months prior to the Supreme Court ruling cancellation of 122 telecom licenses, the country witnessed minister Kapil Sibal laughing away on national TV, declaring there had been No Loss, and that all calculations were only notional, even as another minister —Mr A. Raja— entered Tihar Jail. Now the Supreme Court orders to commence prosecution within four months are being linked with Lokpal Bill. Why can prosecution not be done under existing laws? Conversely, if the existing laws are inadequate then also the government is responsible, in addition, for dragging its feet on the Lokpal Bill and wanting organizations like CBI outside its purview to undertake government bidding to consolidate political power.
