Public perception of corruption

Each time a case of corruption is filed against corrupt ministers it is said let the complainant prove the charges in the court of law. This is synonymous with burying the case. Our history shows that even the most corrupt ministers would go scot-free in the court although their public perception of corruption was such that they could not whitewash their black deeds. There was a historic case in the days of Hazrat Umer Farooq (RA) that a governor of a province was dismissed on public perception of his poor performance. It is common knowledge that white collar crimes are difficult to prove in a court of law, and may sometime take decades to prove.

As such in the present age of widespread corruption and free press, it ought to be enough to report a case of flagrant corruption against a minister who does not publically deny the charges. The errant minister or a public functionary should be obliged to tender his resignation to avoid lengthy court process. It is a common recourse by corrupt ministers to challenge their accusers by pointing out legal way of action which results in no final decision.
