Supreme Court ends immunity power for lawmakers taking bribes to vote. It is a great judgment by the SC. The politicians had turned parliamentary system into an unpredictable joke. It was shocking to see that leaders claiming immunity from prosecution in cases of bribery for votes or speeches in the House. Money, bribes, coercion, blackmail and horse trading was deciding election results, not people's choice. One more thing that needs attention is leaders claiming false credit and making false claims. Immunity can lead individuals to take advantage of entrusted power for personal gain. Bribes by political leaders are increasingly used to corrupt political process. There is clear evidence that high-level political corruption is leading to growing disillusionment with the democratic process. This is because leaders desire to make a lot of money without putting in a lot of effort. And this judgment will ensure clean politics and deepen people's faith in the system. If Jinnah, who worked with the British to split India, says so, it clearly demonstrates the deep-rooted institutional corruption in British India, which the British authority firmly supported and practised to suit their selfish aims.
