    Looks like CM is illiterate. Better to copy the best laws of a literate countries than to make a law by illiterates.Let it be a national policy after the parliament approves by the guidance of the supreme court.

    First and foremost all corrupt ministers, political leaders of Karnataka must be awarded death sentences even for small cases, as their numbers exceeds far more than the few rapists who also deserve the same punishment.
