Back Directors or politicians?

This refers to the reports stating that some Congressmen be considered as board-members of public-sector oil companies.

Many former ministers were made chairpersons of many newly formed (but useless) corporations or boards. Some High Courts have rightly opined against such a waste of public money to rehabilitate politicians.

The Supreme Court should extend such restrictions already issued by some High-Court/s to be applicable on national level.
