Ms. Jayashree, wife of Mr. Vijayakumar, IAS has come out with a strategic move to protect herself. By creating public awareness about the battle they are fighting. It is obvious that, she and her family are suffering from politicos for some years – in their efforts to stay and do their duty to the country.
New York Times has come out with an article which gives her and family more support.

However, one comment of the article we cannot agree with is that the root of corruption is – less comparable salaries, which is humiliating to all honest people who are still in service and those who are not corrupt. Does it mean that a poor man, if he commits a crime he can be pardoned ??? Just because he is poor ?
The honourable reporter Mr. ANAND GIRIDHARADAS, should also note that there are millions of good honest poor people in India. In all religions.
Corruption among Govt. and Private sector is not because someone in Infosys or Wipro makes lot of money. Corruption is because the Govt. and Politicos treat corruption as a way of life. Which is totally untrue. If you do a mini sample survey, you will find that there are many govt. officers who are middle class and poor. Why is there such a large lower middle class in India ? One of the reasons is they have chosen not be corrupt.
The politicians have put a lady with a questionable background as a Presidential candidate. If this is the policy awareness of the govt. then we can as well imagine how they handle corrupt cases.
So, sir, Manjunath, Dubey, were not just hereos. They are equal to Mangal Pandey, Azad etc. Based on simply the vastness and strength of the corrupt lobby.
