Corruption


It is very much true that the whole nation got fed up with the politicians because most of them were involved directly or indirectly in corruption, extortion and destructive politics. Even the party man also has no trust in his leaders. We were moving in a ship whose captain did not know where to go?

Considering these facts, we welcomed the present government and the huge expectation was that this government would create a good atmosphere and develop some mechanism so that the corrupt would be eliminated from the political arena.

But it is surprising to us that from the very beginning the present government is focusing on many issues and we understand that their main goal is yet to be fixed. It will be suicidal if the government fails to hold a credible election.

Finally, it is my earnest request to all, please try to convince the government to focus on one issue and be rational. It is impossible to remove corruption from all spheres of life within a day or month. You can develop a mechanism/system so that it can be rooted out through a gradual process systematically.

We are unlucky that most of our political leaders and business tycoons are corrupt and they didn't maintain a minimum standard of ethics and values. But we can't afford to put all businessmen and corrupt leaders in jail or hang them.
