Tip of the iceberg?

What Aaj Tak's `Operation Duryodhana' has brought out could well be the tip of the iceberg. Many more stories of black deeds of our politicians could soon come to light.

We need more such sting operations to clean up our political system.

MPs allegedly accepting money for raising questions in Parliament is corruption at its worst. No wonder all-round corruption exists at all levels of government.

This is more dangerous to society and to the country than AIDS, cancer, communalism, etc.

The 11 MPs have proved that they have a common minimum programme, irrespective of their party affiliations. Is this the way our democracy works?

The shocking episode raises serious concerns and casts a shadow over our democracy. All political parties must unite to combat this malaise.
