    Soumitra Sen was made an 'sacrificial lamb' by the corrupt politicians. Offcoure Soumitra sen might have involved in the charges which the parliament has indicted him. But what about K.G.Balakrishnan, Dinakaran, and other such corrupt judges. Whether they are going to act in the same way as was done for soumitra sen? No, parliament will not be doing it.
