Sushma Swaraj, leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha and a senior member of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has made an important political statement on her Twitter account on Tuesday.
She said that the party’s demand for a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) remains in spite of the Public Accounts Committee, headed by another BJP stalwart, Murli Manohar Joshi, vigorously probing the 2G spectrum scam and Joshi’s evasive statement on prime minister Manmohan Singh’s letter offering to appear before the PAC. Swaraj intervened with alacrity and demarcated the scope of the PAC and JPC respectively.
Politicians are generally perceived as technophobes because they are so involved in the hurly-burly of political life that they miss the many new things happening around them. Swaraj has sent out a gentle reminder that politicians can be geeks too and there is no contradiction. The serious person that she is, Swaraj is unlikely to share a light-hearted quip on Twitter. Of course, her mentor LK Advani writes a blog and he is a tech-junkie of sorts. She did not want to be left behind. Bravo!
