After the multi-million dollar coal allocation scam, often referred as‘Coalgate ’ by the media, Infosys founder N R Narayana Murthy has requested the BJP government to draft a mechanism under which honest politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen can do their work without fear.
On Monday, Murthy told TOI that “All three have to be protected and in particular bureaucrats because they have to take decisions every day and if we create a fear psychosis there is no way oureconomy can progress."
He further stated, "It is very important that this government, which has done a lot of good things, takes this up on an urgent basis."
Recently, a special court had summoned former prime ministerManmohan Singh along with renowned industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla , ex-coal secretary P C Parakh along with three others as accused in a case pertaining to allocation of Talabira-II coal block in Odisha in 2005 and asked them to appear before it on April 8, reported PTI.
This summon has also shakenIndia Inc at a time when the central government is trying its best to revive sentiment and boost the economic growth, the Economic Times report stated.
Murthy, who is also shocked with the latest development, told TOI, "I have known Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla for a long time. He is a good man. He is a decent man. He is very much a progressive modern business leader of this country. It is very important that as we move forward, we ensure that people like him, and there are many others among bureaucrats, among politicians and amongst business people, that we do not get their names maligned unless they are guilty.”
And for this, "a mechanism that enhances transparency of such interactions is very important,” he added.
Praising the initiative that the government took for the auction of coal blocks and telecom spectrum, Murthy stressed upon the need to provide transparency, clarity and speed in every decision for allocation of all public resources. (Image:
