freeze..de-freeze ... re-freeze ...re-de-freeze...

freeze..de-freeze ... re-freeze ...re-de-freeze...
That's what the Indian government is doing with Ottavio Quattorochi's accounts
First, the background : Ottavio Quattorochi is the prime accused in the Bofors kickbacks case -- simply put, he was paid by Bofors to swing the deal in favour of the Swedish gun manufacturer.The fact that he is close friends with the Gandhi family is the real cause of his star status among the other accused.
First we let this guy go out of the country (Congress -- PV Narsimha Rao govt), then we froze his bank accounts in the UK (NDA govt), then we requested the British to defreeze his accounts (UPA govt -- Manmohan Singh )...and now we after getting a kick in the backside from the Supreme Court , we are asking the British to re-freeze those accounts...
The British have refused...even funnier is the fact that Mr Q has emptied those accounts by now !!!
You have got to really enjoy this comedy show. Two Italians are currently running the country --- one is running the politics and the other is running the finances...and what are we doing?
freeze, de-freeze, re-freeze...
Politicians must think we are all really dumb or something ...we cannot conduct a investigation without making a fool of ourselves and we are gunning for UN Security Council seat (with veto powers, if I may add) ...Hope they are not joking about this on Letterman/Leno ...
