Fab! Like all disgusting theft and vandalism in government and national buildings they are responsible for occupying, more and more will come out with further investigations. Like Kabraal and the rest, just make sure they are here to answer.
Just like Canada did, freeze their bank accounts and if found guilty, clean them up to the last Rupee and recompense the treasury, even it is just a fraction-of-a-fraction of the cost of their vandalism, and ensure they are bankrupt and brought to Zero – PLUS of course the hefty jail term that’s mandatory!
Both the people those who were responsible for maintaining the value of SLR artificially high and then suddenly free-floated it and this lot who started and encouraged insurrection should be made to pay the damages unless they can produce good enough defence before the low and should be in imprisonment if they are unable to pay the damage.
