STOP FUELLING CORRUPTION
In UP, notorious mafia Don having 48 criminal cases pending against him,has
been made Minister in charge of prisons.His first act was reportedly to visit a
jail and pull up jail officials.He has expressed displeasure about the quality
of food and ordered installation of water coolers immediately. He has given
guidelines of upkeep of prisoners and facilities for inmates on severe penalty
if not complied. It is no secret that MPs as law makers consider themselves
above the law and cutting across party lines together with pliant bureaucrats
seeped in corruption, are able to help/cover themselves if caught. This has to
stop!
We have the task of removing and voting in the right Legislators to represent
us and be able to ensure power does not make them forget the voters and behave
like arrogant rulers. This is hapenning in Parliament where Team Neta is
censuring Team Anna. For 40 years they have managed to keep the Lokpal bill in
abeyance,and finally due to pressure from Baba Ramdev (whom they
neutralized)and the Anna Hazare movement which they tried to stamp out like
they did the Tehelka expose, a weak bill was passed in the Lok Sabha and
scuttled in the Rajya Sabha. They promised to bring it up in this summer
session, but they propose to discuss it further,and hope more such analysis
will lead to paralysis! Enough of time has lapsed since the winter session and
nonsense made of "Sense of House" resolution!We cannot tolerate/sit and watch
those fighting corruption be harassed or eliminated. There is nothing left to
discuss, since all parties and everyone knows the nitty gritty and what are the
i
mportant issues namely the independence of the CBI and a fair procedure to
chose a Lokpal who will be an independent entity so everyone from the PM to the
peon will be made accountable!The next game is consensus.Everyone must/will be
made to agree with the Congress by hook or by crook. Since Parliament has been
reduced to numbers, Anna joining with Ramdev( on issue of Lokpal and black
money) will have the numbers, not to mention the victims/ us fed up citizens,
to force them to see the writing on the wall for an urgently passed strong
Lokpal bill.
To tackle the cancer of corruption Electoral,Police and Administrative reforms
must follow. It is only we the people who can do it. The Parliamentarians in
their arrogance cannot see the writing on the wall. The people have not lost
faith in Democracy and Parliament but in the Systemic corruption and
Parliamentarians !
