Today, world is undergoing serious anti-corruptions move or campaign all over. Ushering and overthrowing deep rooted dynasties in the middle east; Greece and Italy hitting pauperism which is causing a nightmare in Europe; Global financial meltdown and crisis; Wallstreet revolution in US and anti-corruption movement in India…
Serious concern for any sensible human being on earth which is contagious. It is vandalizing the proletarians all across the globe.
Definitely India also has the wave of epidemic in full swing in the form of corruption sweeping crores into the pockets of so called representatives of people’s democracy.
And Jan Lokpal Bill is supposed to be a guardian and rescuer of common people. In the very essence of the bill it says, “The Jan Lokpal Bill, also referred to as the citizens' ombudsman bill, is a proposed independent anti-corruption law in India. Anti-corruption social activists proposed it as a more effective improvement to the original Lokpal bill, which is currently being proposed by the Government of India.
The Jan Lokpal Bill aims to effectively deter corruption, redress grievances of citizens, and protect whistle-blowers. If made into law, the bill would create an independent ombudsman body called the Lokpal (Sanskrit: protector of the people). It would be empowered to register and investigate complaints of corruption against politicians and bureaucrats without prior government approval. (Ref. Wikipedia)”
Twist in the proletarian movement in India is that there are also black sheep in the Anna Team who are just selfish and power hungry. Current crisis in the Anna Team vividly announces the same with its uncertainty.
The common man or proletarians of India supported Anna Hazzare movement because merely they thought a commoner would not be so power hungry and they will be in a better position to gauge the plight of the common man.
But now! The uncertainty has damaged the reputation and goodwill that Anna Team has earned during past few months.
Now the question is:
What is the private agenda of Anna Team?
What is the private agenda of Anna Team?
Install a more corrupted system in the secular democracy in the name of Lokpal?
How reliable is the Anna Team, if they are fighting and having self-interest before they got the power -- What would they be if the Lokpal bill is sectioned and empowered them to head the Lokpal Team?
Are they going to overthrow democracy?
Can we expect an uncorrupted system of ethical governance from the Anna Team, after, all these internal conflicts and crisis?
Will it be like 'Blind leading the Deaf'?
Think about it. It is your India – Our India.
