India has had a bad name for the corruption that prevails
here. The ways by which netas and their pliable bureaucrats grab resources of the
country are well-known. It is rarely that we get a chance to tell the world
that this will not go on, that we are changing. Sending a message like that in
a loud and clear manner is very important.
Now the Mumbai High Court has given us a judgement that is
priceless. Visit
All we have to do is to obey the orders of the court, when
the appeal process comes to an end. If the judgement is upheld during the
appeals that will surely follow, the illegally built building should be
demolished by men who fought side by side with the Kargil martyrs in whose name
the building was conceived and then diverted. We should announce a date and
time and then an army unit should carry out the demolition using explosives,
with minimal damage to neighboring structures. World media should be invited to
record the spectacle. It is very likely that this will be the loudest message any
country has ever sent about its determination to rid itself of corruption.
Every TV channel in the world will carry a clip of the demolition and every
newspaper will carry a photograph. What better way to tell the world that we
are no longer a soft state?
