With intense debates flaring up on Facebook, and reasonable conclusions being summerised in the daily papers, it is no longer relevant to coin that Nagaland is ignorant, anymore. These debates enlightens us with many resourceful insights, and since any action without logical outlook is chaotic, and as the old words of wisdom speaks- A pen is mightier than a sword, the resourcefulness of these debates cannot be ignored… Kudos keyboard warriors!
With reasoning, we are on the verge of realizing almost what had been our weaknessess and our untapped strengths.
The present political scenario has left everyone under the impression that, since we the people had elected our leaders to govern us, by selling our votes, we have no legitimacy to hold them accountable for all their heinous acts and crimes perpetuated against the state/citizens. However it has to be ascertained that, “two wrongs do not equalize ten wrongs”. Meaning that, our compulsion/gluttony to make quick bucks around the time of elections does not make up to the extent of development we have been deprived by our elected leaders.
A metaphorical example is that- suppose a candidate had spent 20 crores during the election, but after he acquired his position, no stones were left unturned in amassing as much public funds at his disposal, which is why our state has deficit numbering to thousands of crores, aside from all their assests making them super millionares.
We may have been at fault for electing them but we are not at fault for all the bad decisions they choose to perpetuate without an inch sense of accountability and neglecting the basic requirements of the public, at the least. We the people have accepted that it was due to our ignorance and the impartial system, we are paying our dues- that being said, we are not fully committed to the believe that the elected representatives could merely get away with their misdeeds. As a needle theif may pay a fine of Rs. 10, or even 100, but an elephant theif would be liable to pay fine amounting to lakhs or even be a suitable candidate to remain in a correctional facility.
Thus it is highlighted to the government authorities from all folds that natural justice cannot be defied and that they also pay heed to their conscience before the public and not further inject us with the bought authority that they behold.
