In jail
Vishwanath said people are observing those involved in corruption and going to jail. The time isn’t far when many people from a family were locked in jail, he added. There are both political and caste-based forces working to shun talent.
Whenever such opposition takes place against talented people, there is a need to stand up against injustice, he said.
