Need to establish foundation to protect whistle blowers

It is not enough to only appreciate the whistle blowers to fight against corruption. A decade ago I was talking to a senior bureaucrat about honesty & integrity. He quipped that the society has  come up with the foundations/ trusts like World Wildlife Funds for the lions who became in minority, there will be a need to protect honest officers & whistle blowers as they are turning into scares population. The proportion of dishonest & corrupt officers  had already been very high since time immemorial. The honest persons always remains busy in his duties but the corrupt one has enough time to plot the games. Thus the honest is always kept on toes to defend himself resulting into encouragement & motivation to the other groups. The case of Sanjeev Chaturvedi & many others now indicate that a foundation to protect these honest & whistle blowers physically, financially & emotionally has become imperative in the interest of protecting & nurturing our cherished values.
