They are handcuffed for a reason, don’t make them heroes

These few lines are to pen my thoughts on the behaviour of politicians who are brought to book. I do not know why, the chosen people, the people in authority set a bad example to the people. I do not think that it’s a good thing for them to exhibit their handcuffed hands, raising them up for the whole world to see. I wonder whether they forget that it’s one of the worst things that could happen to any human being or is it that it’s a fashion today? They should learn a lesson from hundreds of innocent people who when they are sentenced to jail, for no wrongdoing of their own would be dying a hundred times from shame. Why aren’t the politicians ashamed? So, media, please be careful not to give much space to such pictures and attract the attention of the people, especially the youth. This may make them their heroes.
