    This is disgraceful and unless stopped immediately it will lead to multiplication of incidents.
    One Mla refuses to pay the toll tax and shoots at the toll collector another Mla brandishes his automatic for being "delayed"
    (as if the end of the world was coming) and now for being caught overspeeding on the sealink another cop gets thrashed.
    Are these clots the voice of the people or are they the "goons of the people".
    Definitely there must be "reject all" in the ballot box if we to improve in this country.
