Re: [rti4empowerment] From WEDS to Anna Hazare & others who espouse the cause pf Lok Pal bill

Dear Mr DSouza Wilberious Evanglist,

 

My two-bit for whatever it is worth.

 

In the first para your are advocating another parallel body to Government to be elected directly by the people - Firstly, presently, only currupt are gettting elected, so where is the gauretee that the newly elected Lokpal will be honest? Secndly, no where in the world we have two parallel directly elected bodies one to oversee the other. Dont you think this propostorous idea rediculas!!

 

Secondly - you are telling that Anna Hazare is trying to run a parallel government - All he asked for is a strong Lokpal Bill - It is your so called elected Government, which gave him the powers to draft the bill with his cronies (as you have put it). A frail old man without any formal organisation under him is trying to run a parallel Government is, again just rediculas. What are you affraid of!!

 

Thirdly you say that they and every body else should go to the grass root level and ask people to write to their MPs, who in turn should take up in the Parleament. Today every MP from the day he is elected, just forgets his consitituents, I have not heard of a single MP listning to people (in the real sense). If you think MPs and Parleament will do something - then why the same elected Parleament has not considered the Lokpal bill presented to it (in whatever the form) for the past 60 years since Indipendence!! Will this happen now? Forget it!

 

I think you are living in a Utopian world and your arm-chair thinking has no practical value.

 

What Anna Hazary and his cronis are asking may be propostorous. Ultimately it is upto our law minister Sri Veerappa Moili to introduce the bill in the Parleament and for your elected Parleament to pass it. Even if Anna Hazare resumes his fast and dies - nothing is going to chage - All we may do is erect a statue of him like we have done for the so called Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi!!!

Dear Hazare,

 

 

While I do concede that corruption is rampant in our country & it has become a canker worm. An authority such as LokPal elected directly by people of India is essential who will surveil President , Governors of States, Prime Minister, Council of Ministers, Chief Ministers of States, Parliamentarians, Chief Justice of India, Chief Justices of all state High Courts & is accountable to the people. However, Anna Hazare or his associates or Ramdev are not representatives of People. In democracy after an elected government is installed, people can represent via the elected MPs from each constituency about any issue & if majority of people do so, the elected government is bound to implement their wishes. Anna Hazare, his other associates & Ramdev do not have mandate of people. Hence, Kapil Sibbal's ironic it may appear, remark that Anna Hazare is trying to run a parallel government is right. So also is the ouster of Ramdev & his supporters from Ramlila grounds.

So, as the cause Anna Hazare has espoused is very relevant what he and his associates should do is to travel to the length & breadth of India, convince people to sign a memorandum insisting for installation of Lok Pal, amend constitution therefor, submit that memorandum via the MPs of various constituencies in our country against valid acknowledgement & undertaking to submit it to Parliament of India for deliberation. If there is a democratic majority, the elected government is bound to enact Lok Pal bill in the manner people choose. It is undemocratic to fast unto death, shouting slogans, holding processions etc. These do not have mandate of people & mandate of People very essential which that only an elected government has.  So however, relevant the cause Anna Hazare & others have espoused & the manner in which it is being furthered becomes subversion of democracy as they do not have mandate of people & their acts a breach of public peace.

 

Regards,

WEDS
