Dear All;
Battle won;WAR MUST GO ON.
1.This morning REV Anna Hazare is expected to break his fast.Jan LOKPAL bill may take shape.Donot consider this as victory.It could prove phyrrick.A central law cannot cover LOKPAL investigation does not mean trial,quick prosecution,confiscation of illgotten welath and end of corruption.
2 We need independent commission to recommend comprehensive legal,judicial,electoral,administrative.The Govts and political parties are blocking electoral reforms recommended by CEC.Independent regulatory bodies like TRAI,IRDA,SEBI are not given powers.One LOKPAL Law cannot deal with systemic reforms for eliminating corruption.
3 Not many states have LOK AYUKTAS.Existing ones donot have powers
4 we all must prepare for the long haul fight.Every month on a chosen day organize candle light marches to Panchayats,Zila Parishads,Collectorates,state Govt offices demanding systemic changes.Acceptance of the recommendations of the independent commission for implementation within a time line.
5 Demand making of implementation of the Independent Commission an election issue.

Dear Mr Srinivasan,

Thanks for initiating this topic and enlightening the members on the
subject with its origin and consequences.

I further add that the intention was to have Lokpal at the Center and
Lok Ayuktha and Upa Lok Ayukthas at State level as independent and
impartial institutions with powers and resources to accept, investigate
and prosecute complaints against politicians and bureaucrats.

Lokayuktha institutions have jurisdiction over State administrative
machinery to take 'action' on the actions of the officials and inquire
into 'allegations' against officials. But, as an advisory body it is
required to seek permission of the respective State Governments to take
up cases involving officials above a certain rank.

The need for Lokpal is to ensure the originally intended two tier
mechanism with single apex body at the centre. The existing
anti-corruption mechanism i.e. the Central Vigilance Commission as an
advisory body do not have any powers to direct the CBI to initiate
inquiries against any officer of the level of Joint Secretary and above
in Govt of India. The CVC do not have the powers to register criminal
cases either. More over, it does not have jurisdiction over politicians.

In view of the above, the demand for All-Powerful-Lokpal at the Centre
by the intellectuals led by Anna Hazare is hailed. I am optimistic that
this movement will gather strength and a modified bill will be debated
upon, soon, because of the involvement of much enlightened youth, this
time.

Regards,

dear friends

Now all the media are flashing the news about Anna Hazare's
indefinite fast. , protesting against corruption and seeking
introduction of Jan Lokpal Bill at Jantar Mantar, Delhi. Many
youngsters have joined the movement in large numbers. In my view, this
will trigger a movement among the youth to pressurise the Government to
initiate a process immediately to reduce the corruption in India.

Presently, due to the unholy nexus of corporates, bureaucrats
and politicians and also due to indifference of civil society, India has
slipped in the corruption index from 84 to 87. This is causing a great
concern among many socially conscious people. With this background,
Anna Hazare's fast at Delhi assumes serious significance.

What is this Lokpal Bill and what is the history behind this
Lokpal bill?

Administrative Reforms Commission recommended in 1966, the
constitution of two-tier machinery Lokpal at the Centre and Lok Ayukta
at the States, to reduce corruption. The bill was introduced in the 4th
Lok Sabha in 1968 and passed in 1969. Before, it got passed in Rajya
Sabha, the Lok Sabha was dissolved. Hence, the Bill was not passed in
both the Houses.

Again the bill was re-introduced in the Lok Sabhas in 1971,
1977,1985, 1989, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2005 and 2008 and every time, the
bill was referred to Committees for improvement.

Successive Governments at the Centre have not shown any interest
in getting them passed in both the Houses and to implement Lokpal Bill.

Even if introduced, this bill planned by the Government does not
have any teeth. It does not include bureaucrats. It is only a
recommendatory body and may submit their report to Prime Minister. They
may not have investigative or punishing powers. Even there is no
transparent procedure for appointment of Lokpal members. This will be
yet another Government department.

India against Corruption movement (IAC)

India against Corruption (IAC) movement was started in 2010 by
eminent persons of civil society to fight against the corruption.
Eminent jurists and retired judges have prepared a draft for 'Jan Lokpal
bill' and submitted to the Government for consideration.

According to this draft Jan Lokpal bill, there would be 10
members selected by a panel more transparently. The Lokpal and Lok
Ayukta will be a constitutional body and will have independence. This
Lokpal will have powers to investigate any corruption charges against
politicians and bureaucrats and also to punish them, within a period of
two years.

Now Anna Hazare and social activists have been demanding that
the Government should accept this draft Jan Lokpal Bill to fight against
the corruption in India. This is likely to generate public involvement
like Jayaparakash Narayan's movement after Emergency. This is gaining
momentum through social media network like twitter and facebook.

I am confident that this movement will find the solution for the
Lokpal bill pending for nearly 43 years.

Every citizen of this country should involve with this movement,
to fight against the corruption. Please spread this message through
