The appointment of Mukul Rohatgi, who was considered a shoo-in to become the next Attorney General of India, appears to have been put on hold following a critical letter by senior counsel and former BJP member Ram Jethmalani to the BJP leadership.
Jethmalani told the Indian Express: “Yes, I have written to the Prime Minister, asking him to not appoint Rohatgi to the post. I have asked Modi to not appoint anybody who is opposed to the move to bring back black money from foreign accounts to any post. It will send a wrong signal since one of the major reasons for the electoral victory of the BJP was the reluctance of the previous government to take effective steps to bring back black money.”
Jethmalani had filed a petition in the Supreme Court on the issue of black money held overseas.

RamJet is doing his duty as a lawyer in appearing for Subroto Roy..I think its stupid to equate that with his personal views on black money.
Go read some standards of professional ethics
Kian- It would be helpful to know as to what Mr. Rohatgi's view are/ were on the issue... maybe you could dig up some information on that...
