Readerspeak: Selja should resign
The fake job scam controversy has outraged viewers and they logged on to IBNLive to express their indignity.

New Delhi: On Friday, a CNN-IBN special investigation showed how the Minister of State for Urban Employment and Poverty Alleviation, Kumari Selja, has been used by fake job scamsters in Haryana.

The special investigation team has documentary evidence to prove the that she is embroiled in an ironical controversy and even met with victims who paid up to Rs 2 lakh each for jobs they claim that Selja Kumari urged them into taking up.

The controversy has outraged viewers and they logged on to IBNLive to express their indignity.

Says a reader, Pulak Ghosh, "What is going on? How will the people believe that our ministers are doing the jobs entrusted to them properly. Ministers are doing jobs for their own interest. How they can help the country? The Prime Minister must take action immediately."

Other readers agree and some like Percy Jamshedwala go to the extent of writing that the Congress Diciplinary Committee should permanantly relieve the erring people - Kumari Selja and D K Bansal - from their office. "Also P S Sandhu, should be, with others tried in the court of law and given rigourious punishment," he adds.

Another reader Prachanda says, "Lalu, Shibu Soren, Hooda and Selja are only tip of the iceberg. The greater minds fish under waters without anyone even noticing them. It's the ill fate of our country that we have to bear such unscrupulous governments one after the other."

People have expressed their horror at the fact that so many members of the UPA Government have been involved in scams, but no action has been taking against them, and instead they have been given the status of ministers.

Says a reader, Sudharshan Kumar M, "Ministers being involved in scams is nothing new in the UPA Government. We are not surprised, because the Government has given ministerial status to Lalu Prasad, who was involved in the fodder scam and also Shibu Soren who has been allegedly involved in various scams. It is even more absurd when seen in the light that the Government claims to be pro-poor and is also trying to implement the national rural employment guarantee act. What a way to generate employment opportunities in India!"

However, there are some who understand and appreciate Kumari Selja's embarrassing predicament and have a word of caution for her.

Says a reader Sampann, "Kumari Selja is quite serious and stern in her actions. She is definitely one of the finest young leaders we have. My only word of advice would be - be cautious of the people who are around you for they may have unscrupulous intentions."

What's your reaction?
