How would mister act whiter than white Shan handled Pritam? 

I think he would end Pritam's career, probably send him to jail and made sure he is forever labelled as someone who is corrupted

I have already said, it is "you rub my back, I rub yours"

Don't tell me the PM does not know who in his cabinet stay where, as IAM sure it is part of security clearance and political expediency not to be seen as "living like a king" and "much richer than thou"

And there is this element of excessiveness and wanton waste and lack of decorum which every minister under the PM's charge need to be mindful of

Obviously, the fact of letting this Ridoutgate happening means that the very top does not think it is a mark of doubtful character or could well be a case of "you rub my back, I rub yours, wait till you see what covert benefits I got and you better not raise a ruckus about them and I will turn a blind eye to your excesses, ok?"
