Is the resignation by Union Telecom Minister A.Raja enough.... ?

Now as the Union Telecom Minister A.Raja has resigned from his chair, following the outrage from opposition as well as the CAG report clearly pointing to his involvement in the multi-crore Telecom Scam, the question that arises in the mind of common people is that, Is it enough on the part of a person who is involved in one of the biggest scams that happened in post-independent India, just to submit his resignation and get away. Is it not the responsibility of Government of India , to punish the guilty and send clear signal that the law of land is the same for everyone.

Please, Post your comments about the scam and the action that should be taken against the guilty.
