Let us all applaud Ms Jayalalithaa on the bold and courageous steps she is willing to take to route out corruption. This evil is decimating every sphere of life in India and has to stop if India is to progress politically, socially and religiously. I want to know what religion says that one can be good followers if one is dishonest and accepts bribes or extracts bribes for ones own gain? All these people acquiring illegal wealth must be sure that they are staring at the gates of hell where Satan is smiling every time that they receive an ill-gotten gain. The curses of the people from whom these bribes are extracted will be upon them and, believe you me, these curses are very powerful. Besides these bribes are illegal. Suffice it to say that these culprits who are soliciting these bribes deserve to be imprisoned and they are getting out of it lightly. If I were Ms Jayalalithaa, I would make sure I prosecuted these people so as to serve as an example to others who are engaged in any illegal activities of this kind that they will be next if they continue to delve in these illegal practices. Other leaders including the Prime minister, Chief ministers, and departmental heads need to follow the example of Ms Jayalalithaa. This will ensure that India will progress in leaps and bounds thereafter.
