Either we say that the MPs are serious or they are not. If they are just loudmouth, self servers, corrupt publicity seekers, then they will be same as in Parliament.

Standing committee is of just 31 members.

They will display all the above mentioned vices if the standing committee debates are televised as they would want to score brownie points over each other.

Moreover, I do not understand, how gheraoing the MPs and coercing them to accept the Jan Lokpal Bill is a Gandhian way, democratic way or even civil way.

This was the method used by the Nazi Youth Volunteers to terrorize the political opponents.

Either we say that the Anna movement is Gandhian and behave accordingly or say that we appreciate Hitler's methods more than that of Gandhi.

The least expectation from the super-moralists like Anna followers is honesty. Given their performance, nobody expects modesty from them.

       Deaer Sir,

       Do you mean to say that they discuss seriously all the issues coming to them, when in Canmera (that is not on TV)?

       With regards to all,

Standing Committees formed by Parliament are said to be mini parliaments to review in details the various bills referred to them before being passed by the parliament. Their proceedings are therefore as important for the people as the proceedings of the parliament itself. I do not know why are the proceedings of Standing Committees not being televised. I suggest that people's pressure should be built up on the govt to start televising the proceedings of all Standing Committees to enable us, the people, to know the views of the various members/parties on various bills being considered by them.  The proceedings of the Standing Committee currently considering Jan Lokpal Bill must start being televised immediately. Your reactions and appropriate action at your end is requested. mksinghal
