âThe rate of change of national development was directly proportional to the speed and quality of justice delivered with nobilityâ, observed Dr Kalam while inaugurating a two-day international legal conference being organised here by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The President departed from his prepared text of speech to cite an incident which took place in Madurai 1,500 years ago to emphasise the point that any miscarriage of justice could lead to unpredictable consequences.
He quoted a Tamil epic to emphasise that âpeople who are in high and responsible positions, if they go against righteousness, the righteousness itself will get transformed into a destroyer. Whoever deviates from righteousness, whether they are individual or states, they are responsible for their own actionsâ.
