'How many sacrifices to save king?':

Who said what on Param Bir Singh's letter implicating Anil Deshmukh

A letter allegedly written by Mumbai's former police commissioner Param Bir Singh to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has opened a can of worms in the aftermath of the Antilia bomb scare incident. In the letter, Singh alleged that Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh had indulged in "malpractices" and asked assistant police inspector Sachin Waze to collect ₹100 crore every month from bars and restaurants.

The fate of the minister hangs in balance as opposition parties have called for his resignation. As most cases involving politicians and rulling parties are seen to lead a corrupted way of making money, this news does not surprise the readers. However, the real question is, will the system change by voicing out?

If the ones in power was to cover up for Anil Deshmukh, he would continue to proceed in his ways.

Using their power to control the four ties of democracy must stop for the democracy to prevail. Due to the poor being always forced to stay silent about the needs, often the, powerful political leaders get what they need or desire. This is why the poor continue to remain poor, while the rich keeps getting richer.

Whether this news on Anil Deshmukh is truth or not, the public is aware of such elites exsiting within the society and there must be something done about this.

“I have been made a scapegoat to divert attention from the actual wrongdoers,” he wrote in the eight-page letter. A copy of the letter has been marked to Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, Additional Home Secretary and Maharashtra Governor.

Sources said that Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena is of the opinion that the Home Minister should resign.

Remove Anil Deshmukh': Devendra Fadnavis

"We demand the home minister's resignation. If he doesn't, then Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray must remove him. An impartial probe must be conducted. The letter also says the chief minister was informed about this earlier, so why didn't he act on it?" said Fadnavis.

In my opinion, resignation of the culprit is not the right punishment, as this is only helping them to run away from their cime. They would argue to prove themselves innocent while walking the streets with their heads held high playing the victim while continuing their currupt business tactics.
