China’s former Railway Minister Liu Zhinjun has been sentenced to death and all his personal properties have been confiscated for graft and corruption. In fact, harsh punishment serves as a terror to the minds of such criminals.

In our country, corruptions, scams and scandals have become order of the day. Almost all the national and regional political parties are more or less corrupt. Charges of corruption are going on against them in courts. BJP leader Gopi Nath Munde said in a function in Mumbai on 27 June that he had spent a whopping Rs. eighty crore during his 2009 Lok Sabha election campaign. Such corrupt people should be disqualified and awarded stringent punishment. Corruptions on high places will destroy not only democracy and the Constitution but would endanger India’s unity and integrity.
