In view of the issues emerging in context of one self exiled former sports administrator, and the constant flow of accusations and counter accusations, and the likely impact thereof upon the political and social environment of the country, it is time we decide to have certain well defined ethical and moral standards in our political system so as to have some reference points for any proper discourse.
Like we should know what makes a guilt, and when one can be seen as guilty, or when it is just an impropriety and not a crime, and when it may just be a minor breach of ethics but neither a guilt, nor a crime, and not even an impropriety either. Looks like we need to go to primary school once again.
Please do not laugh, since these questions are in the air constantly for the last few days and are not likely to go away in a hurry. It may even impact the working of the next session of parliament unless some suitable solution, acceptable to the opposition parties, emerges in the intervening period.
This is essential if we need to progress and for that we need a functional parliament and not the kind that gets mired in controversies and hardly has time for discussion on the important issues. Like, this time, even if much postponed land bill is not passed, it is necessary to pass the GST Bill.
