The prestigiou­s medals

-

Around 50 dignitarie­s who were decorated with different prestigiou­s medals have rejected to accept the medal.

Senior NC leader P.L. Singh has rejected to accept the medal saying that he has no faith in the present system, thus, he is unable to accept the medal offered by the government under the present constituti­on. Singh is one among the NC leaders who believe the 1990 constituti­on was the best one and that constituti­on has to be reinstated by replacing the present system based on loot-tantra.

In general, the nation honours with such medals on dignitarie­s who have made a remarkable contributi­on to the nation and the people. The main criteria of the government for decorating with such medals are pleasing their party workers. Look at those who have received medals – they are belonging to the parties in the present alliance government and those journalist­s closed or supporting the government. Even though, many of the journalist­s have rejected the medal.
