Politics Today Is Either About Earning Money Or Fame: Ghulam Nabi Azad
Further, Azad expressed concern about the deteriorating state of the judiciary system and the alleged delay in the appointment of judges
Mumbai: Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said on Wednesday that today politics has changed a lot as nowadays people come to politics to earn money or fame.
Addressing a lecture on the occasion of the 99th birth anniversary of Late Lalit Narayan Mishra, former Union Railway Minister, Azad said, “A lot has changed in today’s politics, now politics is limited to earning/making money or gaining fame.”
“In those days when Lalit Narayan Mishra was active in public life, politics was not at all about earning money or earning money,” Azad said.
Expressing concern over the politics taking place on issues of religion, Azad said, “I pray that more politicians like Mishra come forward. That generation of leaders never made fun of any religion. They kept religion at a personal level and it was not like that they didn’t practice any religion. They were religious but at the same time secular.”
Further, Azad expressed concern about the deteriorating state of the judiciary system and the alleged delay in the appointment of judges.
Azad said, “Our judiciary system has deteriorated. There is a delay in the recruitment of judges. It is not that there is a shortage of lawyers but there is a shortage of judges in our judiciary system.”
Several party leaders attended an event organized in New Delhi to remember Congress leader Late Lalit Narayan Mishra on his 99th birth anniversary.
Narayan Mishra served as Minister of Railways from 1973 to 1975. He was brought into politics by the first Chief Minister of Bihar, Krishna Sinha when he was made parliamentary secretary to the First Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru.
