WHY THERE IS NO RETIREMENT AGE FOR POLITICIAN

IF POLITICS IS NOT A JOB THEN WHY SALARY AND PERKS

By Gouranuja Somanath MohapatraPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

The in-house government requires a service contract to be signed after a certain period of time. But politics is the only exception where you can enjoy power and privilege for life. Retirement age is not necessary, according to some experts, because politics is a service activity, not a job or profession. I can't say if it's right or wrong, but I think it's absolutely necessary to set a retirement age limit for politicians. Let's explore this difference of opinion in more detail in today's article. Civil servants and employees act in accordance with the constitution of the country and the orders of the government. Your ability to make decisions for yourself is severely limited. Even the most knowledgeable and experienced police officers basically have no choice but to enforce the laws of their country. Even if you know what is right and what is wrong, you are forced to go to certain places and do wrong just to obey government orders. For officials, bureaucrats, judges, officials are not law-makers, but only law-enforcers. Legislators are our MLA and Members of Parliament. It seems paradoxical that there is a retirement age for those who only follow the law, but there is no retirement age for those who make the law. For the mental and physical faculties of those who make laws must be superior to those of those who obey them. In order to rule the country and make decisions, people must be physically and mentally healthy. A person's age is determined by his intelligence, mental state, and physical ability. Regulated. So, does Congress need a mandatory retirement system? If you take a closer look, you will find that many politicians in our country hold important positions such as ministers, members of the Diet, and members of the Diet despite being completely unqualified, both physically and mentally. They are mentally incapable of making sound decisions and physically incapable of serving the public. in such a situation.

It has serious negative effects on our society.

In our federal states the line of such senior politicians from the middle roads is very long. Dr. Rajmata Vijaya Raje Scindia. Manmohan Singh, Pramila Visoi, Savitri Agarwal, Sharad Pawar, Prakash Singh Badal, Karunanidya and Bhagat Behera held or held important positions despite age-related disabilities. There are many examples. Indian politics is an old man's playground. It's not an exaggeration. Even today, government and party posts in this country are held not by qualified, industrious and strong young people, but by old men who are mentally and physically sick. This not only neglects talented young people, but also hinders the country's progress.

The retirement age for the chief justice is 65, the retirement age for Supreme Court justices is 62, and the retirement age for university professors is 60-65. The retirement age for central and state government employees is 60, and it is common for private companies to retire at 60 as well. But the president, the prime minister, the prime minister. There is no retirement age. There is no retirement age for MPs, MLAs and Ministers. I'm sorry that this doesn't seem inappropriate

Let's talk. In her opinion, politics is neither a profession nor a job, so there is no need for a retirement age. If it is a public service and not a profession or job, why should salaries, allowances, pensions and other benefits possibly be paid? Politics is a more important and responsible job than any profession or job. and requires a healthy state of mind and physical fitness. Retirement age limits are therefore essential. Our country is a country of youth. Now is the time to prioritize the young people who are qualified to build and govern the nation. We must learn from developed countries. Retirement in politics encourages older people to leave politics and engage in community service, education, religious activities, spreading customs and culture, frequent family gatherings and inspiring new generations. should. This can create a positive atmosphere in our society. Maintain work-life balance throughout the growth process.
