In the civilised countries, those privileged few alleged of committing crimes or involved in deceit are proceeded against, inspite of immense political power they wield.
However, the Third World is recognised for its appetite to tolerate corruption, abuse of law and impunity given to the elite for violation of rule of law. Nothing can be more repugnant than the logic advanced by NAB to drop investigations against sugar mill-owner, who have minted billions and exploited high public offices that they hold.
When corrupt but politically powerful elite get away with murder or gross violations of law, however much publicised these transgressions of public morality may be, this is a recipe for disaster.
We are slowly but surely drifting to a state of utter lawlessness yet made to believe that all this is being done in the supreme national interest.
A regime that is not moved by public outcry or fails to address the problems of the common man, is not only shying from its moral or constitutional obligations, but nurturing a culture that will one day erupt into a volcano.
