Decriminalisation of politics

Sir,
Refer news item ‘MPs, MLAs will be disqualified on date of conviction, ‘DE July 11.
The Supreme Court ruling regarding disqualification of MPs and MLA following their conviction is indeed a landmark judgement and deserves appreciation. The ruling may have worried people’s representatives with criminal background, but it has warmed the hearts of people.
In India, almost, all political parties  have some candidates involved in crime. The presence of these elements have spoiled the whole power structure in India. As a result, common people, show no interest neither in politics nor in politicians.
Today, politics is considered a game played by those who can wield money and muscle power.
Decriminalisation of politics in India is the need of hour. The earlier this process takes place, the better it is for the democracy.
Yours etc….
