It is soothing to note that the privileged pedigree has been made accountable to rule of law – Vice President

The Vice President, Jagdeep Dhankhar
today noted that the privileged pedigree has been compulsively made accountable
to the rule of law while cautioning that “there is bound to be resistance to
it.” Mentioning that some people, by upbringing or otherwise, are used to being
treated very differently and assured some kind of immunity from the law, Dhankhar questioned why they should take to streets when they find “the rule of
law coming so close to them, making them accountable in a normal
process?”
Describing adherence to the rule of law
as the nectar of democracy, VP stressed that a democracy has no meaning at all
if there is no equality before the law. Expressing happiness over the
transformative change seen in the last few years he noted that now everyone is
amenable to law. “If in a society, when someone gets away by engaging in
transgression of law, he is a sole beneficiary but the entire society suffers,”
he further emphasized.
Mentioning that he had made a suggestion to the Parliamentary
Affairs Ministers to make available copies of Vedas to every parliamentarian
Vedas, Dhankhar remarked, “Trust me, having Vedas by your bedside will do
a lot of good to humanity because the human beings who taste the Vedas will
speak out of their souls, not out of mind or heart. When one speaks out
of mind, they are dominated by rationality; when one speaks out of heart, they
are dominated by emotive aspect, but when there is a soul convergent, the
things are very different.”
Prof. Yogesh Singh, Vice Chancellor of Delhi
University, Prof. Raman Mittal and Dr. Seema Singh and other dignitaries
were also present on the occasion.
