Views of Rahul Gandhi on jan lokpal

Rahul Gandhi says; “even Lokpal may be corrupt”. Yes I agree that even Lokpal may be corrupt because he is after all a human being, borne and brought up in same Indian environment, taught in corruption inflicted schools and colleges and a product of the same corrupt political atmosphere and has seen and experienced the corrupt system prevalent in India.

Rahul is very much correct in saying that even Lokpal may be corrupt. I rather add to his valued statement that even President of India and Governor of states may be corrupt, elected Members of Parliament may be corrupt, elected members of Legislative assemblies may be corrupt, nominated or selected member of various governing bodies may be corrupt, auditors and inspecting officials may be corrupt, police officials and armed forces may be corrupt, clerks and officers working in various government offices may be corrupt and so on.

The burning question is what the political parties especially the Congress Party which has ruled the country for major part of 64 years of freedom has done during their rule to deal with corruption. The focused point of concern as of now is what UPA government has done during last 7 years of rule led by the most clean Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh. The only Heart breaking question which comes in the mind of common men after listening of Rahul’s statement on Anna’s Jan lokpal Bill in Parliament on 26th of August 2011 is what Mr. Rahul Gandhi has done to stop corruption and to punish corrupt officials and corrupt politicians during his political career. Where was he and his flatterers sleeping before Anna’ movement and Anna’s fast. Why person like Rahul Gandhi enjoying the power in the country are not innovative and creative? Why these leaders only respond after mass upsurge, violent movement and disturbance of peace in public life?

Answer to all such vital questions is simple that it is only Ramdeo and Anna Hazare led movement against Black Money and against corruption which has catapulted the issue of corruption to top most point of agenda for the Parliament and which have motivated  suffering common men to unite together to fight out corrupt people from the system. It is the relentless efforts of Ramdeo Baba and Team Anna that even political class have started discussing the pain of common men arising out of corrupt system, caused by corrupt bureaucracy, pain caused as a result of fraudulent act of politicians, pain arising out of leaders of the country who once elected to Parliament completely forget and disregard the very voters who elected them to power.

 

It is only after that Parliament proved futile , administration failed to stop corruption and  on the contrary Supreme Court of the country became active to activate Central Bureau of Investigation to dispose off the scam related cases expeditiously and it is only when minister after ministers sent to jail by CBI that people of India understood the dangerous face of giant of corruption and that people of India understood that cancer of corruption if not cured in time may endanger their freedom which was won by freedom fighters after a long struggle.

 

Undoubtedly therefore people of India are very much obliged to Ramdeo Baba , Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, Prashant Bhusan and their colleagues and their  followers who have made the burning issue of  corruption as Number One agenda for all.

 

I dare ask Mr. Rahul Gandhi why he did not suggest a strong Constitutional Authority like that of Election Commissioner to deal with corruption or black money just after the Jan Lokpal Bill was suggested by Team Anna? Where was he sleeping for such a long period? Was he waiting for death of Anna or was he hopeful that Delhi Police will crush the Team Anna movement as they crushed Ramdeo Baba led movement? Rahul by suggesting strong Constitutional authority has a malicious agenda to complicate the issue and puncture the movement led by Anna Team so that corrupt politicians and corrupt officers may get rid of punishment till their life  and they may enjoy the fruits of power at least next election.

 

I would like to place a simple question to Rahul Gandhi, what will he suggest when an elected Member of Parliament become corrupt after voted to power. Does he mean to say that people of India should tolerate the corrupt MP for five years in the name of democracy and to maintain the prestige of the same Parliament , same democracy which is of the people , for the people and by the people.

 

Lastly if UPA is really interested to make an strong act or to make a strong Constitutional Authority, they should work day and night to draft a suitable bill and get it passed through Parliament, instead of wasting the precious time in baseless discussion on this bill or that bill. There is no point in wasting the valuable time of the Parliament to safeguard the so called value of the Constitution or so called respect of the Parliament which is made for and made by the people of India. If they are so much confident of their victory in election, why not they go for referendum on the issue of Jan Lokpal Bill or go for fresh general election?

 

Further MPs of Congress Party should always keep in mind that they are in power only because votes of common men are divided on caste and communal grounds. Congress Party got hardly 25% of votes in India and therefore 75% of voters are against the policies and actions of Congress Party.

 

It is remarkable to mention here that a Lokpal will be elected or nominated by and among most reputed intellectuals and by most transparent system. Still he or staff of Lokpal may prove to be corrupt and there must be some provisions to deal with such corrupt staff of Lokpal or Lokpal itself. On the contrary a Member of Parliament is elected by voters, 90% of whom are not educated, not experienced and who are swayed away by false promises of greedy politicians and attractive manifestos of  various political parties and the clever tactics adopted by cleave politicians. It is therefore true that probability of elected Memebr of Parliament becoming corrupt after coming to power is more than the probability of Lokpal becoming Corrupt after enjoying absolute power. And therefore people of India demanded during Jai Prakash Narayan led movement in 1974 that people of India must have Right to Recall the elected representative when they become corrupt and ineffective.

IRRESPECTIVE POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS, IT  HAS SINCE BECOME CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT NO POLITICIAN OR POLITICAL PARTY   IS/WAS  SERIOUSLY INTERESTED IN HAVING A STRONG LOK PAL IN OUR COUNTRY.  THAT IS THE  SOLE REASON AS TO WHY THE LOK PAL BILL LEFT TO BE PASSED BY THE PARLIAMENT FOR EIGHT TIMES IN THE PAST, RIGHT FROM THE YEAR 1968 ONWARDS,  INSPITE OF THE FACT DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES , INCLUDING THE B.J.P LEAD NDA ., WERE IN POWER DURING ALL THESE YEARS !    THEREFORE, LET US  BE WISE ENOUGH TO REALISE THE AFORESAID HARD FACT WHICH  FORCED THE GANDHIAN SHRI ANNA HAZAREJI TO  RESORT TO THE  STRONGEST WEAPON OF NON-VIOLENT FAST.  


IT IS ONLY  WHEN  IT BECAME ABSOLUTELY  CLEAR THAT HUGE MASSES OF PEOPLE ARE SUPPORTING THE CAMPAIGN OF SHRI ANNA HAZAREJI AND THAT THERE IS  NO OTHER OPTION LEFT WITH THEM THAT THE POLITICAL PARTIES, INCLUDING  THE OPPOSITION PARTIES, HAVE  STARTED CHANGING THEIR TRUE COLOUR UNDER DURESS, THANKS TO  THE DETERMINATION OF ANNA AND HIS TEAM.

People like Rahul Gandhi only knows how to criticize people who are doing something for the welfare of this country. Last month people feel grievous hurt when he say 100% terrorist attacks cannot be avoided, one or two will always be there.

How much does a candidate spend? A constituency with a population of about 30-35 lakhs, ten crores is very normal. Why should he spend so much money if he does not make many times more during his tenure? If Lok Pal encompasses the representatives of PEOPLE, we won't find candidates to contest elections. A Parliament without MPs?

Zero Hour, Speaker allows Rahul Gandhi 15 minutes and this man brings a prepared statement and reads it. Don't we have brains to understand what is going on in this country?

Don' question the Judge - Contempt of Court.

Don't question the Speaker - Breach of Privilege.

What are privileges - We won't define.

What is supreme - Constitution.

No MPs says Parliament is supreme.

What is illiteracy - We quote Dhirubhai Ambani.

When we talk of changes, they tell us without amendment to Constitution, it can't be done. When they want, they change it. The beauty is we don't tire up giving credit to the framers of our Constitution. They were so far sighted that it had to be amended 94 times in 64 years since 26/1/1950. It is a WORLD document containing something from Australia, England, America, France, Switzerland and God knows which other countries.

 

In 300 years of history, American Constitution has been amended only 27 times.

My views on this issue raises question of fact. It's not actually against corrupt ministers, but this anti-corruption movement is against every citizen who is directly or indirectly spreading and running wheels of corruption.

 

Every citizen who misuses his/her power and cultivate the plants of corruption is against this movement. This is the reason why we only saw few lacs of people in every city on the roads and not crores.

 

Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore etc cities have more one crore population for sure. But we only saw few lacs on road against a strength of crore? It is only because that the politicians get into corrupt practices with the help of other lower level people whom we call civil society or citizens of India.

 

A boy whose father bring Rs.5000/- per day from bribe wears a reebok shoe worth Rs.10k. Would he or his father or his family ever want to degrade their standard and wear Rs.500 shoe? Hell No! These are the people who are against such campaigns.

 

These people have no affinity to their fellow citizens nor do they have any respect towards their nation. They should be crushed and punished for the growth of the country.

 

Every instance of corruption should follow strictest punishment along with the provision for recovery of the money looted during corruption.

Saurabh..V , why your 3 "friends" are not fighting with you in this thread, in support of corruption? r they unable to think beyond anti-men stories.


sorry, one of them may blame me for provoking you like Dr. Ramani

@Debashish

 

I'm glad that you still consider them my friends..... I'm hopeful that there would be a day when they will break into tears and shall embrace the truth which they try to avoid by fighting with anything and everything that comes their way........... That is a situation when a human gets hurt by another. It's a normal psychological phenomenon that the aggrieved human being shall start developing an anti thought process against all such humans as the one who hurt the aggrieved.

 

That is the story of anti-men campaigners. They are not actually against men but as they were ruined one fateful day by one man, so they feel all females are being crushed so lets crush all men.

 

Hope is the mother of happiness................ I hope they would break their shells and come out to see and find real men.

Please. Have some pity on him. He is mortally afraid of Priyanka, who may spring a surprise by upstaging him. In Nehru-Gandhi class, Varun seems far ahead of Rahul minus governmenal paraphernia and Chamchas.
