Opportunism Has
Shaken The Confidence Of People in Politics
A majority of those who lead the
nation today as well as those who take active interest in the
affairs of the country are not sufficiently aware of this root
cause. Consequently opportunists with no principles reign in
politics of our country. Parties and politicians have neither
principles nor aims nor a standard code of conduct. A person feels
nothing wrong in leaving one party and Joining another. Even
alliances and mergers of parties or their bifurcations are dictated
not by agreement or by differences in principles by purely by gains
in elections or in positions of power. In 1939 Shri Hafiz Mohammed
Ibrahim was elected Muslim League ticket. Later when he joined
Congress, in accordance with healthy principles of public conduct he
resigned and sought re-election on Congress ticket and was once
again elected. In 1948 when socialists left Congress and founded
Socialist Party, all those who were members of legislature resigned
and fought elections on socialist tickets. But thereafter this
healthy tradition was forgotten. Now there is complete license in
politics. As result, in public mind there is distrust for every one.
There is hardly any reason whose Integrity is beyond doubt in the
public mind. This situation must be changed. Otherwise, unity and
discipline cannot be established in the society.
