Who flies beyond law?

-

Those VIP motorcades belong to politician­s are plying with leaps and bounds breaching all traffic rules in broad day light. All the police officers who are on duty are committing the big offence by making way for this reckless chauffeurs with blocking all the public vehicles and sometimes diverting to the opposite direction.

The law makers never bring them to books, but common public are imposed huge penalties for what they have not committed at all when they endeavour to prove their innocence. Where they fly in a hurry? We know all these politician­s are never presenting themselves in time and the poor children and people are suffering in pouring rain and hot sun to greet these people. Are they going beyond the law or not? As Shakespear­e quotes “And where the offence is,let the great axe fall.”
