Indian Democratic system on the verge of smothering by pervasive Corruption

In the present times, corruption has become scourge of our democratic system. The biggest problem in dealing with corruption issues is demonstration of weak leadership from the top. Our honorable PM is enjoying sympathy of people by demonstrating victimization of dynasty politics and his hands are shackled in guided democracy.
It is just a parody of the world's largest democracy that a PM who is directly deriving power from the highest law book the Constitution, is finding himself as Caesar's wife.

Instead of acting responsibly, honourable Telecom and HRD Minister, Mr. Kapil Sibbal, has put a question mark on the CAG of India by demonstrating his sophistry and sibylline calculations just to hide skulduggery of his colleague.

Through this column, I just want to ask the ruling party, that who will take the responsibility for all this? Will it be our PM or the UPA Chairperson or the befooled people of India, who has given them authority to run this country!

After the disclosures of every new scam, representatives from the central government say that the PM was unaware of this, be it the flawed appointment of CVC, CWG scam, snubbing of Kargil War Heroes through Adarsh scam. Is it not shirking of the constitutional responsibilities?

Does this not send a wrong message to Indians, especially, the youth, common man, poor, deprived and ignored sections of our society that this country just runs on improvised methods and government and politicians manipulate things for their political gains because they want to rule by hook or crook?

I believe this definitely makes our youth skittish about the thought of being honest (death of RTI activists, sedition charges against Binayak Sen, ADM Sonawane's murder, no records about fleeing of Anderson, the main accused in Bhopal gas tragedy, meagre amount of punishment to the former DGP S.P.S. Rathore in the molestation of Ruchika leading to her suicide. The list is endless...).

The country demands a strong leadership from those to whom the people have given power. Sir (Mr. Prime Minister) you cannot hide your face behind the veil of your integrity because “To be quiet, closing your eyes before crime is also a dereliction of duty”.

Either our PM should resign or act as a leader otherwise it will be him (PM) and not anyone else (Ms. Sonia Gandhi or Congress General Secretary Mr. Rahul Gandhi or anybody else) responsible for the trickling down effect of more corruption, more poverty, more economic disparity, more Naxalism and different form of colonialism where rich corrupt and capitalist people of same country will rule upon the deprived masses.
As a result we will soon be seeing in our country what is going on in Sudan, Egypt, and the Arab world.
