Why Harish Khare had to go
If individuals within a key department of the Government of India are to be believed, the purloining of Khare’s car, mobile telephone and laptop six months ago was “not a random act of burglary, but a well-thought and executed plan” to get details of his personal emails, “that had been unmonitored till then”. According to these sources, the emails showed disillusionment with the higher leadership of the Congress, which (or so Khare was claimed to believe) “had been preventing the PM from setting things right” by getting rid of corrupt bureaucrats. Such changes “took place only after facing down (political) pressure to retain them”, and were often swiftly reversed.
