I have described Najeeb Jung as a Faust who has sold his soul to a Mephistopheles ( the devil's representative ). Some people asked me who was Faust. So let me explain.
Faust is the protagonist of a classic German legend, and is the central character in the play ' Dr. Faustus' by the renowned German scholar and writer Goethe, and also of the English playwright Christopher Marlowe.
Faust is a scholar who is highly successful yet dissatisfied with his life, which leads him to make a pact with the Devil, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. Faust and the adjective Faustian imply a situation in which an ambitious person surrenders moral integrity in order to achieve power and other worldly benefits.
Najeeb Jung is like Faust, who has abandoned all sense of morality for holding on to the chair of Lt. Governor of Delhi. I have called for his resignation, but since he has no shame he will certainly not resign.
