July 25 -2014 Time- 12.10 A.M AAP News & Update— PM Asks for Expediting Criminal Cases Against Parliamentarians Within a Year. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked the Law and Home Ministries to expedite criminal cases against Members of Parliament within a year. In his election campaign, Mr Modi, 63, had vowed a zero-tolerance policy on graft if he was selected by voters. This Parliament has a record number of lawmakers facing criminal charges - 186 members or 34 per cent of the Lok Sabha - according to research by the Association for Democratic Reforms. Mr Modi had said in his campaign that his government would ask the Supreme Court to expedite the cases of leaders from all parties as part of his effort to deliver clean governance. He stressed his administration would steer clear of political vendetta, but he also underscored that the law would be followed and the guilty would be punished, irrespective of their clout. He took the same stand when asked about a potential investigation against Robert Vadra, the controversial businessman who is the son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi. The Congress has repeatedly refuted allegations that Mr Vadra saw huge financial benefits from illicit land deals from the Congress government in Haryana. During the campaign, Mr Modi and other BJP leaders alleged that Mr Vadras windfall fortune was facilitated through the patronage of his powerful mother-in-law and her son, Rahul, who is No 2 in the party. In response, Mrs Gandhis daughter, Priyanka, had urged voters in the Gandhi constituencies of Uttar Pradesh to avenge the humiliation that she said was being heaped upon her by the character assassination of her husband. A series of top politicians from different parties and states are accused in criminal cases. Jagan Mohan Reddy of Andhra Pradesh is being tried for corruption, as is Jayalalithaa, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Mr Modis top aide, Amit Shah, who was recently made BJP president, faces murder charges for allegedly sanctioning the extra-judicial killing of Muslims in Gujarat by top police officers. Mr Shah has denied the charges.
