Impact of increasing criminalization in politics
The legislature has an important responsibility of making laws. The situation is very worrying that many members of the legislature themselves have criminal cases registered against them.
This violates the integrity of the legislature.It has been seen many times that politicians get undue advantage from the judicial system because of their political influence.In such a situation, the public's confidence in the judicial system gets weakened.
Elections play an important role in parliamentary democracy.People with criminal background pick up muscle power in elections.and benefit from the help of money power.
Due to the encouragement of criminalization in politics, this trend is taking a permanent form. This is a big threat to democracy.
