The independance has been ushurped by local Goondas who have no patriotic values and rob this country unmindful of the millions of poor who ironically reelect them for paltry considerations.

An accused in a criminal case gets elected as MP, given a ministerial berth - a cabinet berth. Now seeks release of passport.CBI which is under the control of the accused's cabinet colleague has to fight the case. In 50s and 60s politicians give up their posts till such cases are disposed off. But now that custom has gone. Only if somebody is convicted he resigns, like Sibu Shoren. The entire system Government, Judiciary and Prosecuting agencies like Police, CBI etc are making us fools. Ridiculous!
