I wonder why HT could not come up with these allegations earlier. Why did he wait all these years to expose something which we have all along suspected? It is supposed to be a billion dollar plus industry. Is he hoping to get some baksheesh to keep his big mouth shut? Maybe someone will shut it permanently. Is he looking for some political mileage out of this? He is tantalising and teasing the nation with tit bits but never a list of names. He can surely expose it all in the Parliament and be safe from lawsuits under the parliamentary privileges. Maybe he is hoping to get SF released by the President for keeping mum. Only time will tell.
