My 1st reaction when I heard this was: this is the best chance to topple this government...which is why it didn't happen in the 1st place!
The opposition failure/ squeamishness/ inability was expected. So was the media silence. The collusion of the entire ELM is palpable. We desperately need Hindu right-wing newspapers for our voice to be heard.

Everyone is agitated about the “2G spectrum scam”. But have we forgotten the Hasssan Ali Khan affair, and related “illegal offshore accounts” involving something like Rs.70 trillion? The “entire Opposition, including the BJP and the Left,” has apparently remained silent about this HUGE SCAM. At this rate, our nation will be TOTALLY BANKRUPT in less than ten years.

“ Government Goofs Up, The Opposition Allows It To” … The IPL and even the Spectrum scam by comparison were relatively minor issues. Yet they rocked Parliament for several days in the recently concluded Budget session. In contrast, the entire Opposition (including the BJP and the Left) remained silent on the Hassan Ali issue.
