Dr.T.V.Gopalakrishnan(Bangalore)
It is high time our Ministers take a lesson or two from the neighboring countries particularly Singap
ore as to how Ministers and bureaucrats conducts themselves and how they are in no way different from the ordinary citizens. Walking a few steps will not and cannot undermine the status of the Ministers. On the contrary, it will only enhance his image among the public. Nature does not discriminate human beings by their status in society is the simple truth our bureaucrats and political leaders have to understand. They are also equal before the laws of the nation and wherever they adhere to such universal theories , the country prospers, people will have welfare and the general standards of living will have some class.
