Sir,
Democracy thrives on the pillars of honesty, integrity and loyalty, self-accountability is also one of the fundamental requisites that contributes in its flourishing. With resignation of two Cabinet Ministers in the Centre, namely, Pawan Bansal, Railway Minister and Ashwani Kumar, Law Minister on the alleged charges of corruption/malpractices, the back of our democracy stands shaken. If such sorry affairs prevail in high-echelons of our system what can be the condition and position of a man in a street. Unending series of scams and embezzlements surfaced in the preceding some years have excelled all records of corruption.
It is most disturbing factor in our social arena and jeopardises political and economical systems in the country. Faithlessness and erosion in trust cause extreme hopelessness among the masses.
Expectation of justice from the governing bodies appears a remote possibility. Arbitrariness and violation of rules and regulations for self interest has become an order of the day and this all is due to degradation in moral and ethical values. When a man in millions still longs for more and more and does such things not acceptable by the law and the society, indicates his natural dissatisfaction which can only be removed by inculcation of moral and ethical values. Therefore, cultivation of such values among our youngesters has become a dire need of the time. Even well execution of laws can’t be practicable if morality is totally minussed.
Yours etc……
