The politics behind Tarun Tej Pal case

 

Tarun Tej Pal, the founder Tehalka web portal, who tried to molest his subordinate few days ago at a hotel in Goa, has been summoned by the police for quizzing today. He was asked to attend before them at 3 pm. Goa police plans issue non-bailable arrest warrants against him, in case he fails to turn-up for interrogation. Tarun Tej Pal’s plea for anticipatory bail has been turned down by Delhi high court recently. So, it appears his arrest is inevitable.

 

However, the whole issue seems to have some political motivations also. Tehalka has blown-up the illegal practices of BJP leaders with its sting operation conducted during NDA regime and unearthed several scams in the later period. So, it is obvious that BJP hates Tehalka and its management. So, when this odd incident happens in the BJP ruled Goa led by its Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, obviously it may not let Tehalka go out of its hook at any cost. So is the enthusiasm shown by Goa police.

 

However, Digvijay Singh replying to a media question said “As far as I know about Tarun Tej Pal, he is fighting against communal forces since a long time. But, can’t say what exactly happens behind. So, let the law take its own course.”

 

By his statement, it is understood that Congress has soft corner for him because he is fighting against its rival BJP. Let, the politics take their own twists but, Tarun Tej Pal indeed deserve due punishment, because he already admitted that he is guilty.
