  1. If the leaders are corrupt the masses will definitely will be corrupt.
    You have no right to punish the thief's, convicted and criminals who are poor as you are protecting the rich elite class.

  2. Leader got to know that there is always a day when they will be caught and punished provided SC is really going to send them to jail for a long time SC needs to do more and quick justice delivered as they promised
