This was the phrase used by Mr. Rober Vadra son-in-law of Ms. Sonia Gandhi, to describe people who were questioning his illegal and unethical real estate deals. He is alleged to have increased his wealth from 55 lacs to 300 crores in a matter of few years. It was amazing to see the entire cabinet of ministers queue up for coming to his defense.
Mr. Salman Kurshid, who is himself now entangled in a corruption case, vowed to shut up Mr. Kejriwal, with such ferocity that one of the India Against Corruption member called him more a Son-in-Law Minister than a Law Minister.
For the common man, it was more hurtful to see the ministers, many of whom very distinguished Supreme Court lawyers, form a queue to defend Vadra's wrongdoings, than the son-in-law's indiscretions themselves.
Can't the ministers call it enough is enough, and quit public life, than do this sort of domestic chores for the First Family.

What he is saying is that his mother-in-law's party has turned the country into a banana republic and what can the mango men do except shout on the streets
Even more striking is the news today: 71 lakhs is too small amount for a minister. See scale of corruption has gone so high that scam of Rs. 71 lakhs is unbelievable if one is a minister.

All the drama of 100 min created by Mr and Mrs Kurshid in their news conference on Sunday, to show them in good light was brought to null by Mr.Beni Prasad by this 71 lacs comment. Kurshid must have fallen flat by this King-Kong punch except that both of them belong to the same India Needs Corruption party.
Meanwhile, there is strong element of doubt whether this new scam on Kurshid is a decoy to protect the son-in-law of the First Family. Whole of last week the newspapers and channels were screaming headlines on Robert Vadra and suddenly the focus has shifted to an alleged scam done by Mr. and Mrs. Kurshid. The amount of 71 lacs is a pittance as per their own admission.
Also, during the 100 min drama by the Law Minister, he himself informed that was not going to be the only press conference that will be held and that there will be many more.
Is he playing Maareecha of Ramayana to divert attention on Ravana stealing Sita, in this case Robert Vadra, of the Delhi suburban lands.

Haryana govt transfered a senior IAS officer who ordered probe against Vadra-DLF land deal. He also cancelled that deal. The official is known for his honesty. He has been transfered 13 times during the Hooda regime.
Haryana govt also cancelled the IAS officer's orders of conducting enquiry of all Vadra's land deals and cancelling the mutation of Vadra’s Manesar land deal with DLF.
The next step I can think of is to legalize the corruption.

The news trickling in is it that Mr. Khemka has met the Chief Secretary and after talks with him, Mr.Khemka has revised his stand from being "victimsed" to "satisfied".
Ultimately, the people have to live up to their name "Mango Men".
Meanwhile, happened to see the clipping of Mr. Salman Kurshid, the Law Minister of the country, challenging Mr. Kejriwal to visit his constituency Farukkabad and that Mr. Kejriwal will not return back.
Mr.Kurshid threatened that he would start writing from pen with ink to a pen filled with blood. We hope that he had given his autographs to the Oxford University students the week before, not using pen filled with blood. Whenever the clipping was run, along with the Law Minister's shouting, we could hear dogs barking in the night background. May be they understood his language better.
Mango Men of banana republic can be proud to have such a person as their Law Minister. They can also expect that no action would be taken against the Law Minister who is supposed to be the custodian in upholding the law. He was shouting with a slur in his voice as if he had downed a few more pegs than permissible. Mr. Kurshid himself says that he had been quoted out of context.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, imagine what would have happened had the Gujarat CM, Mr. Narendra Modi had made such comments.
The whole of the English news media would have erupted like volcano. Activists would have queued up in their studios to condemn the comments and show that they are secularists.
