What happened in the police station papa?

Dad – My dear the police officer also supports the rich. They
denied to lodge a complaint.
Daughter – So what papa? If you have given the donation
then I could get my admission so easily but you, you spoiled
my dream. I told you that it’s my dream to be a doctor.
Dad – But beta, I don’t have that much money to give to that
corrupt person.
Daughter – So what papa? Arrange the money.
Dad – But beta…
Daughter – No papa. You did very wrong with me today. I
always believed you like my super hero but I don’t think you
are my super hero any more. You are not my superhero
anymore papa. You hurt me today.
Dad – But beta what should I do?
Daughter – Do whatever you want. You support my career,
you support my dream. You hurt me today papa, you hurt me
today.
Daughter (backstage) – You hurt me today papa. You are so
mean. You support my dream papa, you support my career
and you hurt me today. It was my final chance and I lost it
just because of you papa. You hurt me today. You are not my
superhero anymore.
Dad – No, No, Please, please, stop, stop!
Dad – Who am I? I am nothing if I am not able to fulfil my
daughter’s dream. And our system it’s totally corrupt now.
Today I got defeated by the hands of this corrupt system and
I don’t have any choice and what about my daughter? She is
so annoyed and I am not her superhero anymore. So what do
I do now, I have no right to live. Oh god please take care of
my family and open your arms I am coming to you.
Dad – This is the last choice that I have. Oh God please do
something so no other father will be as helpless as me.
[Dad dies]
Daughter – Papaa! Papaa! What have you done papa? Papa
you are my ideal, you are my inspiration. Oh gosh papa,
please open your eyes papa. Papa please open your eyes.
Daughter - Papa did you ever think about us? About my
mother, about me papa. Papa please come back, papa it was
totally my fault papa. Papa please open your eyes papa.
Daughter – Oh god we are ruined.

Conclusion

Dad – As you are seeing that due to some greedy people. The
real talent in our country is being lost in this world of
corruption.
Daughter – And a father or a head of a family is compared
many times to take such a step that he has to commit
suicide.
Principle – So let’s take an oath together that we should
never take bribe and build our country towards a golden
future.
Everyone together – Corruption is a bribe, let’s destroy it
before it destroys us. The evil of corruption is reaching into
every corner of the world. It lies in the heart of most of the
problem we face. Corruption is paid by the poor. Thank you!!
