Fake awards

The government continues to hold meaningless awards to please its sycophants. It is the same story at each of Padma awards ceremonies that are conducted annually. Even the preferences of the Kerala mafia are evident in the selection of candidates. Why are a majority of those selected to a particular state or a particular political dispensation. arn't such national awards supposed to be free of all political and regional tilt. It seems that the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has also not been made aware of those selected for such awards. Just like in the 2G issue or the Padma awards ceremony held last year where a person with duboius background and a US citizenship was given our nation's top honour. Time to stop such sham.
