Quiet escape

Shashi Tharoor, who has resigned as a union minister in the wake of the IPL Kochi controversy, seems to have paved the way for another round of showdown between the government and Board of Control for Cricket in India. After the government made the minister to resign taking a high moral stance, it seems to be ready to gun for IPL chief Lalit Modi. This seems to be really strange that a minister, who used the public office to favour a friend, is treated like a martyr and no further inquiry is being initiated against him, whereas others are being probed.
