There was no evidence that Rajiv Gandhi had received any bribe in Bofors deal: Sten Lindstrom

Rajiv Gandhi always spoke his mind and was addicted to progress. He believed that it was the lack of being able to apply technology at the right point. He intended that it should go to the service of weaker section of the people.
Rajiv Gandhi had said, “I don’t feel betrayed (when asked about Arun Nehru) I made a bad judgment where I went wrong was on my assessment of they being able to cope with power. It is not that easy to cope with power and when criticism is motivated and irrelevant it does not affect me”.
Rajiv Gandhi believed in scientific temper which he described as removing the fear of unknown which keeps people back and stops people from moving ahead. In this direction he realized that India had missed the industrial revolution and it cannot miss the computer revolution.
In an interview, Sten Lindstrom, the former head of Swedish police who led the investigations in the alleged illegal payoffs says that there was no evidence to suggest that former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had taken bribe in the Bofors deal.
“There was no evidence that he had received any bribe.. Many Indian institutions were tarred, innocent people were punished while the guilty got away”.
Since the breaking out of the Bofors kick-off allegation, the entire opposition, spearheaded by former Prime Minister VP Singh, has been attacking former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, his family and the Congress Party. Now the recent revelation, that too by the person who claimed to have leaked over 350-documents to Indian journalist Chitra Subramaniam-Duella, makes it very clear that the allegations against Rajiv Gandhi were baseless and uncalled for.
When asked about the leaking of documents to the media, Lindstrom said “I took an informed decision to give the documents. But I will say this much - when newspapers think they are more important than the story, journalism suffers. When editors cross their limits, it can be dangerous”.
As a pilot Rajiv Gandhi understood the magic of machine and he was an idealist who was in a hurry to move India to progress and prosperity. That is why he said “I would like to be remembered as having brought India onto the 21st century parallel with the most advanced countries in the world; out of the branding of India as a developing country to the status of a developed nation”.
Rajiv Gandhi was a man who had aversion for pretentions. He tried to use technology to change daily lives of our people, but his journey was curtailed by a malicious campaign spearheaded by VP Singh in the Bofors deal.
