Cleansing the system
Moral and ethical values in public life, especially where it concerns our legislators, have been plummeting to irretrievable depths. We the people are left with no choice but to elect “criminals”. When we have such persons getting elected to Parliament to make laws that govern the nation, can their minions be far behind in emulating their leader? We cannot expect Parliament to enact laws to bar criminal elements from entering the portals of Parliament. The Supreme Court of India is our last hope. The top court should take the initiative to cleanse the system for the sake of the survival of democracy and to uphold constitutional values.
