All most, all my friends and colleagues are supporting Anna Hazare ji for fight against corruption. We can see protest against corruption, people shouting slogans with national flags in their hands, but I don’t want to stand there……… Where were these people when election was held, they voted for their leaders to represent them or not.
Indian is a world largest democratic country………… for the people, by the people and from the people. Yes there is corruption but we cannot make a super power institute over the elected representative (may be of Congress or BJP or any other party). Jan Lokpal bill had a defect that it wants to make a super power over the people we represent and who make the government. What about right to vote, anyone can be our representative because then we would know there is super power over them to check them.
Corruption should be checked but not by undermining the Constitution. Ramachandra Guha the author of-India after Gandhi… The History of the world’s largest Democracy, has wrote on his article --------------------In September 1974 Jayaprakash Narayan invited his friend R.K.Patail to come observe the situation at first-hand. Patail was in his own way a considerable figure, who had quit the Indian Civil Service to join the freedom struggle and later worked in rural development in Maharashtra. He now travelled through Bihar, speaking to a cross-section of Jayaprakash’s supporters and critics and to many bystanders as well. On his return to Nagpur, Patail wrote Jayaprakash a long letter with his impressions. He appreciated “the tremendous popular enthusiasm generated by the movement.” However he deplored it disparaging of political parties in particular and constitutional democracy in general. As a man of intelligence and principle, Patial was “well aware of the patent draw backs of the government presided over by Indira Gandhi. “ But he did not think it “wise to substitute for the law of ‘Government by Discussion’ then law of ‘Government by Public Street Opinion’” Patail reminded Jayaprakash that “there is no other way to ascertaining the general opinion of the people in a Nation-State, except through free and fair election”
Yes, we need Lokpal Bill……………..Government Lokpal Bill is weak and Jan Lokpal Bill have provisions which run contrary to the Constitution of India…………there is also third version by social activist Aruna Roy. I will support Aruna Roy if her Lokpal Bill is stronger than Government bill.
Notice Constitution cover page has an emblem, below which it says “TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL”
