These things happen elsewhere too. Only difference is in countries like India officials who are caught for corruption are immediately asked to resign and never even considered for re appointment. Best example is the prevailing 2G scandal in India.

THE HEAD LINE " WHAT A SHAME "
DO YOU MEAN THE ACT OF BEING ACCUSED OF THE MISAPPROPRIATION OF THE GOLD OR HIS REAPPOINTMENT AS THE CHAIRMAN OF ANOTHER INSTITUTION ? WELL BOTH AN NOT SHAMEFUL IN THE PREVAILING CULTURE OF UNACCOUNTABILITY DUE TO LACK OF GOOD GOVERNANCE IN THE COUNTRY.

Must have made APY angry over something or had a disagreement. 300 grams of gold is sawdust in the context of some of the pockets that have been lined over the years that our 'deomcracy' has evolved, with absolutely no repurcussion.
