The Lok Pal Bill presented to the Lok Sabha by the Government is very weak in its application, meagre punishments etc. The Prime Minister is kept away from the purview of the same. Why this weak and toothless Bill?
In a nut shell, the ruling class, the top politicians, bureaucrats, big business, MNCs – nobody wants a strong bill. It is through bribes and corruption that majority of these sections are benefitted. That is why a demand has been made by a Secretary of the government that paying bribe should not be treated a crime. In such a situation, these affluent sections will demand tomorrow that even corruption should not be made a crime.
Even the CAG and Supreme Court are criticised by these sections for exposing corruption and speaking against it.
In such a situation why the Government will bring a strong Lok Pal Bill. The present one is only to put dust in the eyes of the common people.
All of us have to joint together to expose corruption and the guilty to be punished.
