• A society where a crime is a crime, independent of gender and the criminals are punished irrespective of bias or undue favor.
• A society where a daughter is not viewed as a liability and is not only given equal share in her parental property but also taught to be self – dependent.
• A society where innocent people are not jailed under the pretext of Women Empowerment.
• A government which does not swindle tax-payers hard earned money to attract lucrative foreign investments by fudging statistics and misrepresentation of facts.
• A judicial, legislative and executive machinery which does not allow law and legal procedure to be used as a weapon or a fear psychosis tool and a recovery mechanism.
• A media fraternity that does not conduct character assassinating media trials under vested interests and allows truth to be brought to the people rather than hiding it.
