Moments after the news about the arrest of former Telecommunications Minister A. Raja came in, the social networking world started discussing, debating the aftermath.
On Twitter a few users raised the question on the jail. One such tweet says, 'So willRaja be sent to Kala Pani? It used to be called Cellular Jail, you know.' Quiet a handful of twitterers are guessing that the political power behind Raja would get him out in bail, in a few days and if that takes a time then a fake illness case would keep him out of the prison.
A senior journalist (@BDUTT), who was initially alleged for witnessing and to some extent influencing the appointment of Raja as telecom minister too commented, “Finally, Raja and two former aides are arrested. Clear damage control ahead of next Parliament session. Unlikely to end opposition attacks.”
Some of the widely circulated tweets are:
- It was my husband's dream that one day a Dalit name will be on every news paper front page.. every TV channel. Proud of A Raja
- Yeddy sacrificed a donkey to ward off evil. UPA sacrificed a bakra to ward off JPC & for TN elections. #Raja arrested
- Mubarak sues Raja for lifting his speech. He allegedly said "This is a political conspiracy to defame me & my party. I'm innocent!"
- A Raja found doing suryanamaskar in his balcony wearing telephone wires.
- A Raja could have easily avoided this arrest if he had performed suryanamaskars in the buff last week.
- As a coincidence, today is Amavasya.. Karunanidhi decided to give A Raja as a sacrificial goat to Sonia Gandhi for his own dear family..
What happened after the arrest, how Raja would be punished.. many such questions would be answered with time, but going by the verdict of the tweeple, the punishment should be big enough to bring an end to corruption.
