              Modi Government Arrests Politicians on Corruption Charges

                


         



The Modi government has been cracking down on corruption in recent years, and this has led to the arrest of a number of high-profile politicians. Some of the most notable arrests include:

  • Manish Sisodia: The deputy chief minister of Delhi was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in February 2023 in connection with the Delhi excise policy scam. He is accused of irregularities in the awarding of liquor licenses.
  • Sanjay Singh: The Rajya Sabha MP from the Aam Aadmi Party was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in October 2023 in the same case as Sisodia.
  • Anurag Thakur: The Union minister for sports and youth affairs was arrested by the CBI in 2017 in connection with the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association corruption case. He was accused of financial irregularities during his tenure as the president of the association.
  • P. Chidambaram: The former Union finance minister was arrested by the CBI in 2019 in connection with the INX Media case. He is accused of granting undue favors to the company in exchange for kickbacks.
  • Shashi Tharoor: The Congress MP was arrested by the CBI in 2017 in connection with the Sunanda Pushkar death case. He was accused of abetting the suicide of his wife.

The Modi government has defended the arrests of these politicians, saying that they are necessary to fight corruption and ensure that everyone is treated equally under the law. However, critics have accused the government of using the CBI and ED to target its political opponents.

The arrest of Manish Sisodia, in particular, has sparked a political firestorm. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has accused the BJP of targeting Sisodia because he is a popular leader and a potential challenger to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

The BJP has denied these allegations, saying that the arrests are being made on the basis of evidence. However, the timing of the arrests, so close to the 2024 elections, has raised suspicions among many observers.

It remains to be seen whether the Modi government's crackdown on corruption will be successful in reducing the level of corruption in India. However, the arrests of these high-profile politicians have certainly sent a strong message that no one is above the law.

 What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of weighty siege for over seven days after Israel sent off retaliatory airstrikes for the extraordinary dread assault by Palestinian assailant bunch Hamas on Oct. 7. The territory — a limited segment of land among Israel and Egypt, close to the Mediterranean Ocean — is home to generally 2.3 million Palestinians and is portrayed as quite possibly of the most thickly populated put on The planet. The 140-square-mile district is generally the size of Philadelphia. Most of the people who live in Gaza are youthful, with practically 65% of the populace younger than 24. ' World's biggest outside jail' Beginning around 2007, Israel has forced an air, land and ocean bar on the Gaza Strip, saying the move is important to protect the country from Hamas' assaults. Gaza is encircled by substantial walls and security barriers. Palestinians are di...

Israel says Rafah is Hamas' last stronghold in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the long-running offensive against the southern Gaza town of Rafah, regardless of Hamas' response to calls for a new ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages. Hopes for an end to the conflict have risen in recent days, with Egypt once again calling for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and Hamas. But so far there is little agreement between the two sides on the most important differences. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has expressed concern about Israel's increasing isolation from the conflict in Gaza. Most of Gaza'...
