Protest against vulgar waste of public money

It is surprising that many are raising  eyebrows about Ambani  wedding related expenses as naked and vulgar show of wealth. Ambani is free to use his  own legitimate resources as he wishes. Everyone of us does the same and we do not dampen our spirits, entertaining lofty thoughts  because of poverty of others.  Citizens  on the contrary  should  vociferously protest against vulgar display  of power and  waste of public money for inaugurations and celebrations, birthdays, at public cost. They should condemn the lifestyles, freebies, tax free pensions, salaries self bestowed by new kings called politicians. It is not commensurate with average, common Indians and which  is highly deplorable.  The celebrations by Ambanis provide a lot of employment and income for   commerce and to those  engaged to provide facilities. Everyone can allot percentage of income for welfare of  less fortunate  at orphanages, destitute children, old  age homes, etc and those who prescribe must  first show by their own example instead of casting aspersions on bonafides  of charity. Many industrialists, organisations, establishments run hospitals,  institutions, charities extend educational grants voluntarily as part of social responsibility.
