Trying dead bureaucrats

The Law Ministry has come up with a very innovative and noble idea of seeking trial of dead bureaucrats involved in corruption. It is a practical approach to use all our efforts to convict the dead, having failed to bring to Justice those who are still living in luxury. Why not go one step ahead and get a bill passed in the parliament for establishing Graveyard Courts under a new Ministry thus accommodating more ministers in the new setup. But watch out, the dead bureaucrats can be much more dangerous than the ones alive. DR. IRFAN ZAFAR, Islamabad, January 1.
