This is not restricted to high profile people. Even the relatives/friends of class IV/V employees in big govt hospitals get VIP entry to Doctor's room whereas hundreds of other patients are waiting for their turn for hours. Even their registration and payments are done from back door. There should not be any VIP passes in religious places as before God all are equal. more

Why anyone. This culture must go altogether. Is anyone doing any favour to the nation ??? When any society is formed, people from all walks of life, with all sorts of talents and abilities get together for COMMON WELL BEING COMMON GROWTH & COMMON PROGRESS, therefore where is the question of bestowing the tag of VIP on anyone ??? Everyone needs to contribute as per their abilities, because, Firstly, Everyone President downwards is getting paid for the work he puts in. Secondly, people join any job voluntarily, no one forces them to take up thew said job. Thirdly, everyone gets only one life and there is no fool proof way to authenticate the contribution of any individual since contributions are based on the Exposure or chances that one gets. Hence the VIP culture must be scrapped altogether as is the case in Scandinavian countries like Sweden and the culture of Social Welfare for all above above the age of 65 years must come in. more
