Mr karunanidhi has expressed his dismay at the conditions in Tihar jail.
For the politicians and industry executives who are locked up in Tihar on 2G charges, it must be a dramatic climbdown in lifestyle. Cynical observers of Indian justice take it for granted that the well healed and highly connected individuals never face justice irrespective of their crime.
In the future, would the prospect of a long period of incarceration in a tough jail act as at least a partial deterrent to misconduct by public figures? I hope so.
While recounting the conditions inside the Tihar, where he went to meet his daughter last month, Karunanidhi broke down a few times.The duration of her stay appears to have grown longer. Then there is Mr. A. Raja who has been in Tihar for more than three months now. There has been a strange but understandable sense of schadenfreude by the Indian media in covering these high profile imprisonments.
“You know the conditions in Tihar jail? A flower kept there will wither away quickly due to the heat,” he told the gathering, which included his relatives and childhood friends.
