Congress covering up Westland probe by kite-flying?

Even after the kite-flying festival is over, Congress leaders continue kite-flying of a different kind. Based on a report published in a Kolkata daily, the Congress leaders have demanded whether Prime Minister Narendra Modia had tried for a deal for information on paybacks in Westland Helicopters deal in exchange for freedom for the Italian marines who shot dead two Indian fishermen. The Congress is trying to fix the Prime Minister based on The Telegraph report. The newspaper claimed that Narendra Modi tried for a deal when he met Italian Prime Minister Mattio Ranji in September last. Congress spokesman Randeep Surjewala has insisted on a statement in this regard from the Prime Minister's Office. Another Congress leader-mentor of Rahul Gandhi, Digvijay Singh, tweeted with a poser, "Mr Prime Minister, Is this all true?" True or false, is not the country interested in knowing the truth about paybacks in the Westland and any other deal during the corrupt Congress regime. Whoever is the recipient of the paybacks must be accounted for. If the Congress line is to let the sleeping dogs lie on the payback recipients, it is not the country's problem. The people want the truth out however high and mighty the payback recipients be. Again if the Congress is worried if the recipients are their top leadership, it is of little concern to the nation. The newspaper report may have put two and two together and made it as if Modi was trying to fix the Congress top leadership in this regard without basis. That cannot be the case knowing Modi's probity in public life. He might have been ascertaining the real recipients of the Westland paybacks, like any responsible leader should. The Congress is very sensitive in the matter, understandably because its regime is riddled with 2G, Coalgate, Westland and many other scams. The Congress should allow an honest probe into the matter and not try to cover up by kite-flying. The allegation of Modi-Mattio deal is stated to have been broached, according to a third party, Christian Michel, who is co-ordinator of the Law of the Seas. How far fetched can kite-flying go? Rome is diplomatically silent on the matter. All Westland roads are meanwhile leading to New Delhi.
