Punishment for fake freedom fighters

It is really sad that despite five days have gone by the government has not taken any action against the bureaucrats who submitted false freedom fighter's certificate to extend their service.  It is a shame that some unscrupulous people do not hesitate to cheat and lie on our glorious independence. Those who did it are not ordinary people; they are well educated people who do not think twice before spinning lies.

The government must take stern action against those bureaucrats and  people like them.  Many valiant freedom fighters laid down their lives so that the people of this country live in peace and prosperity. Now we are seeing that their names are disrespected. Many freedom fighters have been living a life in abject poverty. We need to respect and honour them but they are not receiving their due. I hope that the government will take punitive measures against those who have submitted false certificate. The state must revoke them and punish the offenders so that no one dares play with our sentiment. The guilty bureaucrats should receive the punishment they deserve as they are holding high positions in society.
