Executive has its role in scams in country: Justice N Santosh Hegde
Interaction with students and teachers at Bantwala BEO office
Bantwala, Jan 27: Former Lokayukta Justice N Santosh Hegde said that the major scams in the country would not have happened if the Executive was not involved in them.
Speaking at an education interaction organized for the students and teachers by the Karnataka State Residential Teachers Association Dakshina Kannada District Unit at the BEO office auditorium here on Sunday, the Justice said that it was common news that corruption prevailed even in judiciary. But only Legislature, Executive and Judiciary only could check corruption.
The government has been cheating the people and it was not because of persons involved in it, but because of the entire system. In older days, the society used to boycott those who were jailed for corruption, thefts, murder and rapes.
It was unfortunate that the same society has been giving heroic reception to those who come out of the jails on bail. Many of those who were in big positions were jailed once. A society which gives respect to such persons should not be there forever as peace and harmony would not stay for long time, he said.
The students should develop human values along with satisfaction in their life, because they would play a major role in building good society through honesty. “There is nothing wrong if the wealth is accumulated legally. But the wealth should not be accumulated by misusing the power and exploiting others. This would not give you peace. Youth should have ambitious life to achieve something on righteous path”, he advised the students.
“Our ancestors have practiced humanity in order to establish peace and harmony in the society. But today, we cannot see the humanity”, he said.
Association state president Santosh Kumar presided over the programme in which Vijayapura Chanakya Career Academy director NM Biradar spoke. Mangaluru University Professors Association president Dr Joseph NM inaugurated the programme and spoke about the importance of water, Judicious usage, Reuse and rainwater harvesting.
Backward Classes department officer Muhammad Siyar, BEOs N Shivaprakash, Aravinda Chokkadi, Puttaswamy, Maheshchandra and Mohan Kumar were present. Association secretary Praveen Poojary welcomed, Vani proposed vote of thanks and Ganesh Naik compared.
“Fourth pillar of Constitution- media- is also responsible for the injustice being happened in the country. Some media houses have been misleading the people by making paid news. Everyone should think about the position the society has reached because of this greed”.
