Politicians and people in authority, by virtue of their positions, should be ready for both bouquets and brickbats. They should know that their lives and (mis)deeds are under public scrutiny and are more than likely to be exposed at some stage.
Issues of public interest have to be pursued only after an in-depth analysis and with an open mind. Never with any bias or personal prejudice, and of course never with any personal interest or revenge. Freedom to fearlessly fight against social ills is the very hallmark of a true democracy. Unfortunately some of those who ride to power on a contrived electorate are unable to withstand such scrutiny. Those in power should show respect to the Father of our Nation and vow by Gandhigiri while never opting for Goondagiri. Aires Rodrigues Ribandar
