I guess the ads might make a difference. The first step to fighting corruption is information. An informed citizen is better equipped to fight such menace.
This particular ad also urges people to pay tax and relax. So I guess it serves dual purpose.
It pretty much accepts that the Babu’s and Clerks in Income Tax department are CORRUPT, and Bribe Takers.
Why didn’t they publish an advertisement stating any Clerk/Babu of Income Tax department harassing a citizen, will be Severely Punished by being thrown out of the job and into the jail!!
Critics and Pessimists are all you see on the blogosphere. Rather than complimenting a good ad, the discussion always veers to - “is this going to make any difference” and the same people that say this are the first ones lining up to pay bribes…
Can’t help but be cynical at such ignoramuses and pseudo moralistic people…
opinionated indian,
I think you will find all sorts of people and it is important to have pessimists and critics. I think they have their own place and play a significant role in shaping up the society.
