Recent deliberations at a conclave have brought out some enlightening facts about corruption as an economic activity and the damages that doing away with corruption may bring about. I have much pleasure in placing the same before you:
- Though the fact can never be established for obvious want of data, corruption is the biggest industry in the country, that is, one with the highest turnover.
- There are ancillary industries that will be nearly wiped out if there were no corruption. These include:
- Police
- Legal profession
- Judiciary
- It will severely damage the film industry where most themes have two central characters, one corrupt and the other who ultimately wins over him.
- Hospitality industry at the top end and luxury products at the top end too will suffer a severe setback because of an erosion in demand.
- FATF (Financial Action Task Force) will have to be dismantled and all software providers for generating Cash Transactions Report (CRR) and Suspicious Transactions Report (STR) will go out of business.
- People may lose all interest in politics and have to be conscripted for legislative positions. If this happens the science of psephology will be lost to the world. Lack of rallies will render thousands jobless.
- Discussions on the FB during election season, if at all there is one, will become absolutely dull and drab.
- Lack of corruption will mean everyone working according to rules. Today this is considered a form of striking work!
- Swiss banks may face closure.
- As everyone turns holy, the phrase "holier than thou" will go out of circulation.
- There will be no need for a party like AAP.
- No one will ever know what is a Lokpal or what it is supposed to do!
This list is only illustrative and not exhaustive.
In the light of the aforesaid an appeal is made to AAP and its followers to do a rethink on their stand against corruption.
Issued in public interest.
