00:00A very painful incident that happened mid-March in Delhi, at the residence of a sitting church.
00:15There was cash war, obviously tainted, unaccounted, illegal.
00:25And unexplained.
00:26And unexplained.
00:27The intervention is very significant.
00:32We have taken a big fall now.
00:33A big fall, big hit.
00:36But two things so much, Mr. President, two things.
00:41One, it appeared in public domain after six, seven days.
00:50Imagine if it had not appeared.
00:51So, we don't know whether it is isolated or there are instances.
00:58Now, whenever tainted, unaccounted, unexplained, cash hole is there, system has to move to find out whose is the money.
01:17Who wants this money?
01:21So, that's why, that's why I use the word unexplained.
01:23Yes.
01:23Because if you can't even explain it.
01:25And, what is the money trail?
01:32Where did this huge cash come from?
01:35Yes, sir.
01:35Are there big sharks?
01:38Has the money influenced judiciary in judicial work?
01:49Yes.
01:49All these issues are educating mind, not only of the lawyers, of the people in the street.
01:58Sir, I feel it was a good instance because with this happening, it's an eye-opener for the entire public.
02:05And we have become more vigilant.
02:07You are right, but let the lid be blown out from cleaner wombs.
02:18Yes.
02:18Let these keratons in cupboards come out.
02:23Yes, it has to be a proper investigation.
02:25In fact, investigation started day one.
02:28Even without the FIR, there could be an investigation.
02:31You are right.
02:31Because, see, over the time, over the time the evidence is lost.
02:36Yes.
02:37Now, question arises, why was there no FIR?
02:42Yes.
02:43Why has there been no investigation at all?
02:49In a democratic society, rule of law, equality in society,
03:01law, is compromised seriously, severely, if some people are above law, beyond scrutiny, beyond investigation.
