NEW DELHI: BJP MP Subramanian Swamy yet again went against the party line when he tweeted today saying he wonders if there's a "secret brotherhood" of BJP and UPA politicians and lawyers "to protect each other".Tweeting about Congress leader and former Union minister P Chidambaram being in the dock in the INX Media and Aircel-Maxis cases - and getting interim relief from arrest by investigative agencies - Swamy asserted that he believes there is such a "brotherhood" in place, and that it "has so far delayed BJP's anti corruption campaign"."Is there a BJP/UPA/Politicians / Bureaucrats/Lawyers secret brotherhood to protect each other? My research says yes there is, and that has so far delayed BJP's anti corruption campaign. Namo must strike them down for which he can count on my help," said the Rajya Sabha MP, referring in his second sentence to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Swamy further alleged that Chidambaram - accused of money laundering and peddling his influence as Union minister - is being protected from scrutiny by "bureaucrats, especially 4" in the Modi government. Either that, or the bureaucrats are doing it under duress as they may be "honey trapped" by Chidambaram, whom he refers to as "PC".According to Swamy, that's also the reason a PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court (SC)against Enforcement Directorate (ED) officer Rajeshwar Singh , alleging disproportionate assets. The ED is one of the investigative agencies looking into the cases Chidambaram is embroiled in."To save PC, bureaucrats especially 4, in Namo govt who are complicit or honey trapped by PC, are targeting Dr. Rajeshwar Singh of ED. The latest PIL before SC Vacation Bench is for me a declaration of war against anti-corrupt warriors. I will retaliate," tweeted Swamy.Yesterday, PIL petitioner Rajneesh Kapur told a SC vacation bench of Justices Adarsh K Goel and Ashok Bhushan that no government agency is ready to take action in the case of disproportionate assets of the ED's Singh "due to blanket protection orders passed by the Supreme Court on May 1, 2014 and November 1, 2017, protecting the ED officer from any kind of inquiry or investigation".Singh, who was spearheading ED investigations into the 2G spectrum scam and also the Aircel-Maxis deal, has been moving the apex court time and again, complaining about alleged hounding by the establishment for his "unbiased" investigation of the case. At one point, the SC even quashed an order transferring him out of the probe team dealing with 2G cases.Incidentally, Chidambaram appeared before the ED yesterday and was grilled for more than six hours in the Aircel-Maxis case. Swamy alleged today that the Congress leader received a call just as questioning was to begin, during which he was informed pf the PIL against the ED's Singh."Just as PC interrogation by ED was to begin PC got a call from one this cartel that they had approached SC to discredit Rajeshwar Singh," tweeted Swamy.In the PIL against Singh, the petitioner accused the ED officer of violating norms and propriety to indulge in "unchecked corruption and gone to the extent of shaking hands with organised mafia elements which is detrimental to the sovereignty and integrity of the country".The petitioner's counsel told the bench that the SC's orders were meant to protect Singh against mala fide or frivolous complaints but are not a bar on action against alleged illegalities. He provided a chart of alleged disproportionate assets of the officer.
