Advani expresses concern over ‘judicial corruption’

Bhopal, January 31: “Around 20-25 years back one began hearing about bureaucratic corruption, then it was of political corruption, but now there is also talk of judicial corruption,” this was how veteran BJP leader L K Advani today expressed his anguish on the reported incidents of graft in the legal circle.

“I am sad that these days we even hear talk of corruption in judicial quarters,” he said at a conference of newly-elected BJP corporators of local bodies at the Chief Minister’s residence.

He said, “around 20-25 years back one used to hear about bureaucratic corruption, then one began hearing of political corruption, but now there is also talk of judicial corruption.”

Advani also had a dig at the manner in which newspapers, magazines and private television channels work particularly during election time.
