I just read on Yahoo! that the SC is questioning the appointment of Thomas as CVC.

This is developing into a sub-scandal of the 2G main scandal.
Why was this man appointed in the first place?
It is a shrewd strategy practised by many corrupt governments and administrations.
Since their misdeeds are likely to end up before a vigilance authority, it is best to be prepared in advance (like the Boy Scouts) by placing their own man right there. Who can play this role better than a corrupt and tainted bureaucrat who has been graciously spared by his masters?
If you look closely into vigilance departments, you will note that they are headed by really soft, tame, ineffective men. Here is the explantion why your complaints against corruption end up in the void!
