Respect for law is decreasing day by day
There are many types of illegal activities in our country. But one thing must be remembered, a charge is not a conviction until proven. But in the case of common people, the law is not applied correctly. High-ranking people get away with wrongdoing.
Because of this, people's respect for law is decreasing day by day. People are taking the law into their own hands. It's sad. In order to increase people's respect for the law, the law must be allowed to take its course. These issues have become a matter of great concern for the next generation.
If the government says it will not protect those accused of corruption, then we can expect that the government will not spare anyone. Those who have been complained about are retired now. But if there are complaints about those who are in office now, then the government should not influence it in any way, it is also expected by all.
If the government says they are not willing to take responsibility for the recent events, are they admitting that the events happened? Crime is committed by individuals. But under whose umbrella, that has to be seen. If they do it out of political influence, surely the rulers are responsible. They cannot escape. The incidents came to light after they retired. But it will have a big impact on us internationally.
Any complaint should be properly investigated and that investigation should be conducted in a transparent manner. According to the law, the accused will get the facilities they need. But they should come out before their retirement. And the responsibility of the government, they do not seem to be able to avoid it.
