Govt Employees while demanding VII Pay Commission do not condemn corruption - rather support it
THE Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court in a recent judgement observed,
Ethics and morals have taken a back seat in modern India's scheme of things. In my considered opinion, corruption can be beaten if all work together. To eradicate the cancer of corruption the "hydra headed monster", it is now a high time for the citizens to come together to tell their Governments that they have had enough. That is this miasma of corruption. If the same continues, taxpayers' may resort to refuse to pay taxes by 'noncooperation movement'. It is surprising that the Unions of Central or State Government employees, whether politically affiliated or otherwise, make demonstrations for demanding the application of VII Pay Commission, but they do not condemn, outcast or demonstrate against their counterpart bureaucracy indulging in corruption. On the contrary, they provide support.
Let the Government as well as mandarins in the corridors of power understand the excruciating pain and anguish of the tax payers. There is an onerous responsibility on those who govern to prove to the taxpayers that eradication of corruption would not prove for them a "forlorn hope".
