Determined, oath-bound !
Advocate Monser Fakir Jamalpur
Ever since we became independent we have been listening to a particular vocabulary being incessantly used by guardians of our society. When there is news of gold or heroine smuggling we will surely see a leader roaring, "we are determined to crush it". When there is a leakage of examination questions, another bigwig will whimper, "we are oath-bound to punish the offenders". Likewise, we hear "pledge-bound to catch conspirators injecting chemicals into fruits and vegetables" or "punish the destroyers of our good image". It is significant that the person in charge of a department is not speaking on his subject but otherwise. Accordingly, we observe the top boss of roads expressing determination to" "preserve environment", the works department chief vowing to "guarantee sovereignty", the top brass of foreign affairs emphasising the maintenance of "proper standards of consumable items", and so on.What a pleasure to think that we have no committee even with mild powers, no commitment half-hearted or equivocal, and we are successful in everything!
