SC asks for CVC Thomas’ appointment details

New Delhi: The Supreme Court Monday directed the central government to place before it the file to indicate that it has followed all procedures of consultation in the appointment of PJ Thomas as the central vigilance commissioner (CVC).

The apex court bench, headed by Chief Justice SH Kapadia, also asked the central government whether Thomas satisfied the criteria of being an outstanding civil servant, as required for appointment as the CVC.

The court has given the government two weeks to submit its reply. Under the existing procedure, a panel comprising the Prime Minister, the Home Minister and the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha select the CVC.

However, the appointment of Thomas as the head of the central anti-corruption watchdog, the Central Vigilance Commission, had sparked off a storm, with Leader of Opposition Sushma Swaraj alleging that Thomas, a former telecom secretary, was appointed to cover up the 2G spectrum scam.The Bharatiya Janata Party had also boycotted his swearing-in ceremony.

The guilty has been promoted to next sensitive post merely after two months of advice.WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH IN ACTIONS NOMINATED CVO OR CVC

This Kerala Christian Thomas was involved in the Palmoil Import scam long back. Thomas worked worked as telecom secretary for Sonia and the night soil worker for Sonia the Tamil thief A Raja, 2G loot netted Rs 36000 crore for Sonias sisters in Italy..The only qualification for Thomas is that he is a christian and that too a criminal. Sonia put tainted CEC, CVC, President, and PM to loot India. Sonia has an agenda independent of Rajiv Gandhi that is called the Cambridge Conspiracy. bit.ly/a1UT9Z, bit.ly/age6lq, bit.ly/T9vJN,bit.ly/9oHVrI, bit.ly/aFTSew, bit.ly/agnn57, bit.ly/RbilH, bit.ly/bjespS, bit.ly/b3VN0Y, bit.ly/9oHVrI, bit.ly/3VnIOT, bit.ly/agnn57,bit.ly/RbilH, bit.ly/cgS1tQ, bit.ly/1dK2U0, bit.ly/184O9F, bit.ly/cJ1Tad, bit.ly/bD4MJ3, bit.ly/8ZzuHU, bit.ly/9x0kQ1, bit.ly/aG1e0P, bit.ly/9a74rb, bit.ly/9VjPiX, bit.ly/dczJyA, bit.ly/debUpO, bit.ly/9eNM8d, bit.ly/a72226, bit.ly/drc7Kl,

It should be a Life Time Ban to all Corrupt and Tainted Politicians and Officials, but unfortunately they are promoted with higher post with the entry from Revolving door. Many Govt job has a price tag to Join, Promotion and Transfer to open up their Corruption Business. Political Pimps must also be monitored, because they are the spinal cord between Corrupt Politicians, Murky deals and Money Laundering.

Thomas belongs to feudal syrian christian community of kerela and are known for die hard anti hindu sentiments .A.K. antony also belongs to the same community.

So his appointment means that congress is placing his men on that post.
