During the last few years corruption seems to have become honourable and even a necessary cap for many of the politicians and top bureeacrats. Those businessmen, MNCs etc. who bribed Ministers and top officers and got benefits and became super-rich used to boast themselves of their ‘achievements’.

Now it seems that in politics also corruption has become honourable. Hundreds of top level politicians and bureacrats are now charged with corruption, punished, arrested etc. and many of them are in jail or bail.Many has escaped conviction. Many escape even FIR with their high political status and being in the ruling party.  But there seems to be no remorse at all forany of  them. They flaunts themselves before the camera, issue statements denying everything and is suppported by many. They are given big receptions when released on bail or on parole. I do not want to mention any specific individual since the fact is known to all.

The media has also got a role in this ‘honouring’ of corruption. Giving wide publicity as if these corrupt persons are ‘heroes’, the public opinion is also being influenced.

This situation should be changed. There should be a strong condemnation of corruption and corrupted persons so that this evil which is adveresely affecting the health of the country should be removed or atleast reduced.
