The arrest last week of a BJP Member of the Lok Sabha while he was in the process of taking out of India a women and a 14 year boy to Canada on forged documents is a very disturbing development. The subsequent investigations indicate that the MP was engaged in human trafficking and it is further alleged that several other MPs are also engaged in such activities.
This is perhaps the glimpse of the corruption that has entered our political system. There have been several media reports in the past about criminal elements entering the State legislature and Parliament after getting elected on national party tickets. It was expected that the BJP being a Cadre based organization with a strong ideology would do better but now it appears that it is as good a political party as the rest in the Indian political arena.
