Prompt action against corrupt important: Prez Murmu
11/8/2024 10:53:35 PM
NEW DELHI, Nov 8:
Agencies

Asserting that delay or weak action encourages unethical people, President Droupadi Murmu on Friday said that prompt legal action against corrupt is extremely important.
Addressing the vigilance awareness week function of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) here, she said that properties worth over USD 12 billion have been seized in the last ten years under the Prevention of Money laundering Act (PMLA).
Murmu said that trust is the foundation of social life and the source of unity.
“Public trust in the government’s work and welfare schemes is the source of power for governance. Corruption is not only an obstacle to economic progress, it also reduces trust in society. It adversely affects the feelings of fraternity among people. It also has a widespread impact on the country’s unity and integrity,” the president said.
She said every year on Sardar Patel’s birth anniversary on October 31, “we take a pledge to keep the country’s unity and integrity intact”.
“This is not just a ritual. It is a pledge to be taken seriously. We all have a collective responsibility to fulfill it,” the president said.
Murmu said prompt legal action against the corrupt is extremely important.
“Delay in action or weak action encourages unethical persons. But it is also necessary that every action and person should not be viewed with suspicion. We should avoid this. Keeping in mind the dignity of the person, no action should be motivated by malice. The objective of any action should be to establish justice and equality in the society,” she said.
Murmu said a comprehensive approach will have to be adopted to eradicate corruption.
“We will have to go to the root of this disease. It will not be effective to cure it only through symptoms.The eternal values of the Indian society like integrity, ethics, compassion and transparency have to be strengthened. There is a need for strengthening of these life values,” the president said.
Citing Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) and e-tendering, she said the Centre has taken several measures to check corruption.
Murmu said that if any work is done with the right spirit and determination, success is certain.
“Some people considered uncleanliness to be the destiny of our country. But strong leadership, political will and contribution of citizens have brought good results in the field of cleanliness. Similarly, to consider the elimination of corruption as impossible is a pessimistic attitude of some people, which is not right,” the president said.
She expressed confidence that the Government of India’s policy of ‘zero tolerance against corruption’ will eradicate the roots of this malice.
Murmu said that morality is the ideal of Indian society.
“When some people start considering accumulation of things, money or property the standard of a good life, then they deviate from this ideal and resort to corrupt activities. Happiness lies in living life with self-respect by fulfilling the basic needs,” she said.
