Actually if you look at the concept of ministerial
responsibility, although it is a non-codified political custom and
practice, a minister who is responsible for losses or having caused
harm to the people directly or by the deeds of his subordinates
must resign.
So in speaking out in support of TT DURAI, even in their "personal
capacities", to which if you are a political or public figure this
status is non-existent. Those who have supported TT DURAI must
resign.
Simply because without investigating they are putting their
credibility on the line and if they vouch for such a person that
means they support the person and believe that he is right.
Hence with their support, they are trying to tell the people that
there is no wrong being done and to this end they are asking us to
trust these people because the are lending their weight to this
person's reputation as well.
But the truth is now known, but you hardly hear a peep out of these
people. Now they are clamouring over each other to distance
themselves from DURAI.
You will see this happen throughout Asian democracies, especially
in S. Korea and Japan also seen in the UK several times as well,
where a man's word means everything, there can be no U-turns,
"...on hindsight...";, etc in the political arena.
The PAPAYAS have gotten away with all these for far too long, time
for a change, time to take back our rights.
