Read the passage carefully and answer the question given below:

Mr. Viswom is a man of exemplary character, impossible to reach at any price. Forests of great value are secure under his ministerial supervision. Realty contractors imputed a shady role to the minister in the Merchiston Estate episode. It was found to be without foundation and the minister was cleared by the High Court in a powerful pronouncement. A perusal of the judgment confirming the favourable findings of the Sessions Judge should normally be enough to liquidate all possible suspicions that were sought to be created to malign his name. His character is the straight minister's great asset.

That is why I wish to emphasize that whatever be one's view about the minister's ideology or the general reputation of the Forest Department, the inalienable integrity and credibility of Mr. Viswom are beyond doubt.

This is my conviction, and is based on my relations with him and the clear inference available from the judgment. I strongly feel that the public should abolish the libellous traces from his reputation.

I belong to no party and am critical of infirmity in government, whenever I observe any flaw. But truth must be told. Everyone has a right to his reputation
