Ibrahim may also be competent, but the main reason why he is being appointed as IB Chief because of his religion. This is going to go a long way in securing Muslim votes for Congress in 2014.
After CAG episode, cong appointments will be not on basis of seniority or merit, but after loyalty test. This man is going to very loyal. Another thing, India is not moving towards pluralisation but islamisation, the consequnce of which is dangerous.
It isn't about professionalism or merit, because the bypassed officers were outstanding and of course senior - while seniority is an objective criteria to measure, professionalism becomes discretionary - the last 5 Seniors/ Top officers would be the best judges of outstanding record in the selection process not political parties
We need plurality in top posts. It will make it hard for foreign elements to strike out deal to buy our top officials. The plurality is also be good for the country in many other respects. Similar change is necessary in Indian auditing agency CAG.
All such responsibilities and appointments are taken in national interest.We welcome all such decisions taken merit and in best interest.We welcome and wish the best to the new appointment and a top honour
