Praise the dead and revile the living seems to have become the new political

'mantra'. Art.266 (3) will not allow any money from the Consolidated fund to be spent for samadhis (or statues) because they are not within the expression 'purpose of the Constitution'. Death is a great leveler and there can be no VVIPS there.Dead saints are even today worshiped because they bestow good upon those who seek them. One will be remembered for what good he has done to humanity and not for parading,while alive, under cover of 'Z' grade security. The Swiss have a practice under which no member of the Parliament will be appointed to the Federal Executive Council if there is even a whisper against the individual unlike here where persons cling to the technical defence of 'not convicted' despite being charged. Every day the members of the Swiss Federal Executive Council walk down un-escorted from office to their homes and citizens respectfully make way in silent acknowledgment of their clean record of dedicated public service unlike here where a VVIP image will have to be maintained through 'Z' grade security and an elaborate police escort every day to and from office!
