Writing a blog after almost a year and writing for a cause. Support for the Lokpal bill proposed by team Anna, Arving Kejariwal, Kiran Bedi.
Today after drama of having joint lokpal committee UPA govt finally tabled the bill in parliament. I said drama of having joint drafting committee because even without that committee we would have got the same lokpal bill. Govt has done what it wanted to do. A poor, toothless lokpal bill and make a joke of the democracy and public. So tempted to call this bill as jokpal bill.
Let us understand why we need the bill and how can we have control on corruption after the strong lokpal.
1. We all agree that our Incredible India has actually Corrupt India. A farmer wants to get 7/12 property extract he has to pay bribe to get it, need a bed in govt hospital pay for it, pay to file FIR, pay to get driving licence, pay to get cast certificate, pay more that the price to get ration on your ration card, even pay to get death certificate. Corruption has become a painful reality for common man if India. From PM to peon in Gram Panchayat office every one is corrupt.
2. Why no action against anyone, the reason is very simple; we do not have Independent inquiry and prosecution agency. All agencies that we have like CBI, Police, CID or even Special investigation teams all are puppets in the hand of govt. So everyone knows nothing is going to happen. All corrupt people have got natural immunity.
3. If we want to really make India incorruptible and thereby Incredible we need a very strong independent agency to look into all level of corruption cases from village to Delhi. Lokpal is a solution to the problem
4. Lokpal is not one person but it is panel of 11 members selected by independent panel every eminent personalities of India which includes all sections of society.
5. Today we have CBI's anti corruption wing, after lokpal that wing should come in under lokpal so that instead of two agencies it will be just one agency to deal with corruption cases. So that the common man knows whom to complaint for corruption cases.
6. As mentioned earlier from PM to peon in Gram Panchayat office everyone will come under scanner of Lokpal which includes judiciary also. Any complaint files against anyone PM, Ministers, MPs, MLAs, MLCs, Govt officiasl, judges; in short anyone will be investigated and prosecuted by Lokpal.
7. Person who files complaint will get security cover so that more and more people come forward and dare to fight against corruption.
8. Lokpal should have powers to dismiss govt officials and also recover loses from the guilty ones if proven guity. Imagine 1.76L cr can be recovered from A Raja, 70000 Cr can be recovered from Kamadi and many more.
Instead making all that mentioned above possible what Govt has proposed is a weak advisory nature Lokpal bill who is not independent. Let me explain it point by point
1. Prime ministers (only after demetting the office), CM's, Judges of any level, Low cadre govt officials do not come under lokpal. Only Group A Govt officials come under lokpal. So common mans worries are still unaswered. He still has to pay for ration card, cast certificate, death certificate. Who will benefit? The answer is no one.
2. As per govt bill Lokpal is elected by majority of people seating in Government. So naturally it will be puppet in the hands of Govt. as that of CBI today. How can it be independent agency?
3. CBI's anti corruption wing will continue working as it is it will not be under Lokpal. So technically you have two agencies for the same purpose. How will decide which case or scam will be investigated by whom? Answer not known in present lokpal bill.
4. Lokpal is just investigation agency can not prosecute the accuse as per Govt. draft that means it is just advisory in nature can not take action against the corrupt. What the use of such Lokpal?
5. Person filling complaint if found false complaint will be jailed for two years on the other hand the corrupt person will get three changes prove himself guilty. Whom are they trying to save?
6. Lokpal can only investigate and not prosecute. In this case how is it different from the existing agencies dealing such cases.
Now the youth of the country must decided who they want to support to. Anna Hazare, Arvind Kejariwal, Kiran Bedi and many more are there to guide us let us take the advantage and make our nation
Incorruptible India... Incredible India
Jay Hind ...........!!!!!!!!
