When Ram Jethmalani exposed for the first time how the Central Government used the instrument of ratification to cover up corruption (on August 6 at CJAR convention in New Delhi -see Events page), it was another story waiting to be told in detail.

And it did so with a controversial qualification, which seems to defeat the very objective of ratification.
