WATCH VIDEO: Congress Suspends Ex-MLA Mewaram Jain After Leak Video Goes Viral

Politics is a dirty business, but sex, compulsory bestiality, sexual assault, financial fraud, obscene videos — that's the dirt that washes up on the shore and deserves a little public examination. Rajasthan Congress' recent suspension of former Barmer MLA Mewaram Jain has, once again, brought power, influence, and accountability to the dark underbelly of Indian politics.

After an alleged pornographic video of Mewaram Jain went viral, the party acted immediately. However, this evidenced was only a small part of the picture, the MLA who has found himself embroiled in a gang rape case as well the nature of a money laundering probe, too many issues for one to unpack in one short aforementioned clip.

Here is a lowdown of the whole controversy, findings, implications for Congress and the political scenario in Rajasthan.

What Happened 

As soon as the viral video came to light, the Rajasthan Congress immediately distanced itself from Mewaram Jain. State president Govind Singh Dotasara had issued suspension letter on this, he said, "Disciplinary action has been taken against some of the office-bearers of the party for going against the discipline of the party.

“Due to his immoral act, which is a gross breach of discipline under the Deepa (discipline, ethics, party activity) of the Indian National Congress, Mewaram Jain has been suspended from the primary membership of the party with immediate effect.

Although the party has not denied that the video is authentic, it quickly imposed a suspension which suggests the footage to be damaging enough for condemnation.

Gang Rape Allegations

This is not the first time Jain has found himself embroiled in controversies. A woman had registered a gang rape case against him and eight others on 20 December 2023 at Jodhpur's Rajiv Gandhi Nagar police station. Her allegations were shocking:

When Jain received a complaint, instead of investigating it, he allegedly registered case against her claiming sextortion and had her placed behind bars.

Even the arrested included Barmer DSP Anand Singh Rajpurohit and Kotwal Gangaram Bishnoi apart from Jain, indicating a nexus of politicians and cops.

Jain was granted interim relief from arrest by the Rajasthan High Court, which ordered the former minister to cooperate with the investigation until January 25, 2024. SBI case still being investigated — Play JRPGs on PlayJRPGs!

Political side

Taking quick measures to suspend Jain is largely a game of damage control by the Congress party but it leaves larger questions about —

Why wasn’t action taken earlier? However, the party has acted only now after a video of the incident went viral, despite the rape case being filed in December.

How deep is the rot? Himanshu Kumar, more than a year amid many politicians and police officials named in the FIR; Was it an isolated incident?

Will this impact Congress’s image? Events such as these in an election year can alienate voters, particularly women voters, and damage confidence.

Conclusion

Roughly translatable as "the Mewaram Jain scandal of accountability", this political controversy goes beyond a political scandal talu,t a litmus test of accountability for Indian politics.

Will the victim receive justice or be a victim of political influence?

Will caught ED translate into porn convictions or long legalese process will diminish the thin case?

Is it possible for political parties to impose stronger ethical codes, or will these scandals continue to happen?

The Congress has taken the first step by suspending Jain for now. However, this will be just a fig leaf of real justice, the horse will be bolted only if the courts and the investigating agencies render an impartial verdict.
