Sir — This refers to the report, “Govt to SC: Don’t debar convicted politicians from election for life” (April 19). Criminalisation in politics must be avoided at all costs; as it causes damage to the society and the nation. The more we get out from the clutches of corrupt politicians; the faster will we move towards national development.
The Government’s action in this regard seems to be undesirable; because corruption cannot be handled through ‘softness’. There’s nothing wrong if convicted politicians are being debarred throughout their life-time.
