There is a big support for Anna Hazare especially in his second protest. But there are also critics who speak against Anna. Baba Ramdev moved out of the scene when there was question and cases against his trust and its administrator Balakrishna. But Anna still continues his protest though there were some accuse against his way of earning fame in celebrating his birthday. Even for protesting for a noble cause we need support of media, and some advertisement is needed. So, he advertised himself. This is not a mistake.
The Lokpal bill will not eradicate corruption from the country. But it is a weapon against corruption. It is a step against corruption in our country. Only in 18 states we have lokyuktha and in some states it is not so powerful. The existing system is not successful in avoiding corruption. It is mainly because they are not independent. We are quite aware of the independence of CBI since Congress came to power.
Though Lokpal is expected to come as an independent body, like election commission, the power depends on who is the chief of the Lokpal. Its efficiency and success also depends on the same. For example, the power of election commission is fully exercised and everyone came to know about it when T N Seshan was the chief election commissioner. In Gopalswami's period also it was good. But we saw the commission's weakness during Naveen Chawla's period. Similarly if Lokpall Bill was passed, its power also depends on who will be the chief of it.
The demands of Anna are not something which are unacceptable. His demand for not taking the bill to standing committee is also acceptable as the committee which was made by the government before was just some negotiation between Congress and Anna team. It does not consist of another party member or anyone other than the government and Anna team. So, it will not be useful in discussion of the bill in the committee. Anna team also compromised with judicial accountability which is also correct. Bringing lower bureaucrats under Lokpal is also possible and necessary as people suffer at their hands most of the time. Citizen's charter and grievances also help the work to be done on time in government offices. At present only few of the employees in government offices, especially state government are actually working. Most of the government employees do not know what work is going on in their office currently, and even their responsibilities.
More than 300 lakh crores of Indian money are in foreign banks. Corruption for these many years is the main cause for such huge amount. We can reduce that at least to some extent in the coming years through the Lokpal and there are also possibilities to recover those amount rather the action by government after many years when all those who have the money convert them to some other form of investments.
All of us know about this serious problem in our country. We did not dare to take any step against it. We just kept talking and at the most writing about that. This also created more awareness also among the public showed that a common man also can do something useful against corruption. Anna tried something more than us and we wish him all the best to succeed in his effort. We support him too.
