Stop behaving like ruffian

When the elected member of our Parliament takes the law into his own hand and threatens by banging his gun at the Toll Tax plaza only because he was asked to pay tax of Rs. 80, Why should we can expect from the road tough to respect the rule of law. Congress MP from Porbandar Vitthal Radadiya was booked for rioting and criminal intimidation and under the Arms Act after he allegedly threatened the staff at a toll plaza at Karjan in Vadodara district with a gun. A CCTV camera caught him in the act. The CCTV camera captured his action which had been displayed on every news TV channel that clearly reflected how outrageous and fearsome he was looking with the gun swinging in the air to show his clout in power. It is the most shameful act displayed the member of Lok Sabha. Congress party needs to take stringent action against him and let the law to take its own course against the Lok Sabha member Radadiya. Irrespective of the political party, the majority of people’s representatives exerts their influence openly to take undue advantage. People's representatives in state assemblies and in Parliament are expected to set role model for the people whom they represent. Their curtsey, disciplined lifestyle and respect for the rule of law should leave emulating influence in society. It is not only some Congress party MPs and MLAs who resort to goondaism in public life but all irrespective of political affiliations break law and order whenever they consider to have been let down in public. They fail to understand that they have been sent by the people to Parliament and assembly to serve them. The people are their masters. Unruly, unsocial and illegal behaviour of MPs and MLAs reflect that the degeneration has definitely set in our political culture. Most of the elected representatives of all political parties seem to have forgotten that they are law makers. When law makers become law breakers, only God can save us. As Vitthal Radadiya is a Congress party MP, he must be asked by the party leadership to explain his conduct. If he was surrounded by about 15 men at the Toll tax centre and the toll tax staff considered his identity card of MP as bogus, why did he not call the police to provide him security? Today it is Congress party, tomorrow it will be some other party MP and MLA who can behave as the hoodlums. No political party claims to be clean of MPs and MLAs having criminal antecedent or they do not have direct nexus with criminals. So, untill and unless the nexus between criminal and politicians are broken and the political parties deny tickets to fight elections to those who have criminal antecedents, there will be no halt of crime shows by some of our MPs and MLAs.
