Political parties need serious introspection (Opinion). “Merely parroting that opposition leaders are corrupt to the core demoralises the nation and raises doubts about the efficacy of democracy creating space for greater influence of the military, judiciary and bureaucracy. It is paradoxical the way corruption is being presented by the PM as though it is confined only to the political class…[Rather, it] exists practically across all major elected and unelected institutions and power centres.”
