Loyality of Indrajit to Ravana was based on his personal relationship, since Ravana was his father. It was not based on the principles. On the other hand Laxmana’s relationship with Dasaratha Maharaja was there not only from 'son and father's point of view, but more so on the bases of his character. When Dasaratha maharaja was weak in admonishing his favorite wife for sending Rama to the forest, Laxmana while respecting the fatherhood of Dasarath, became critical of his action and was willing to stand by Rama and punish Dasharath maharaja. It was conflict between father or principle of justice. Laxmana was able to stand by principle, which Indrajit was not able to do so. Indrajit not only did not give any attention in this regard, rather he endorsed Ravana’s crime towards Sita.
When we have choice between loyalty to person or loyalty to Dharma. It is not a easy decision.
Seldom we see the political party having the guts and honesty to critically analyze their leaders. It is mostly yes to everything what thier leaders say, like Indrajit, he was his father's best yes man. Such political party has to come down, because of its own crime, like Ravana and his party was washed off, along with all his loyalist.
Rama denotes giving opportunities to other's opinions, Ravana denotes opinions are offensive. Laxaman represents respect the superiors and at the same time rejects the wrongs of their decisions. Indrajit presents; whatever his father does is good, forever.
Rama represens Gana Rajya(group decisions). Ravana represents Gunda Rajya(muscle power).
Chose those group and leaders who have the concept of dialogue, and not a monologue, worst are the silent observers, and false flatters of their arrogant and blind leaders.
