Court on ED inquiry
It is appropriate to mention here that the perpetrators of any sort of crime in India understand that most of the time, only strong-arm tactics are what can get the truth out — as the popular Hindi saying goes, “Seedhee unglee se ghee nahin nikaltee”. At the same time, it is also true that the law-enforcing agencies perform their duties selectively at their master’s bidding. This should not happen, and is exactly what the Supreme Court wants to highlight (Page 1, “Don’t create atmosphere of fear, court cautions ED”, May 17).
