  5. Rajesh says:

    It is commonly seen that people break laws and rules but do not wish to get punished for it. People do not wish to pay taxes etc, but demand a lot of Government. To maintain discipline, Government should impose fines and penalties and should stop extending deadlines and giving waivers. Doing this is a bad practice.
