Laws are made to violate

I am a student of class nine reading in an English medium school. I know, as everybody else does, that polythene or any plastic bags were banned a year ago. I frequently watch the Environment and Forest Minister visiting markets and catching shop-keepers selling polybags. But these days as most of the places of Bangladesh are flooded, I saw some ministers helping these flood victims by giving them relief in polybags. I was shocked. I wonder why did they make this kind of law which they cannot follow?

What will be the future of this country?

I know that there are many students like me who are going to be ministers of this country one day. What will they learn from our honourable ministers?
