The Indian system is very clear. Money is not the issue.
Kanimozhi said that Kalaignar TV returned the money claimed to be corruption money, back with interest to the party. But still she is in jail.
So it is the immorality of responsible and high officials that our esteemed Indian system wants to punish for.
