Support Drafting Committee Of Jan Lokpal


Parmanand Pandey


An unnecessary controversy is raging these days with regard to the presence two Bhusans - father son duo— Shanti and Prashant in the Jan Lokpal Drafting Committee. Right from the day, the government accepted the demand of Anna Hazare to draft and enact the Jan Lokpal Bill with the help of the representatives of the Civil Society, a section of influential persons is not able to digest it. These people are raising innumerable objections, which are frivolous in nature but ulterior in motive. There are some publicity hungry people, who are knocking at the doors of the various courts and questioning the very constitutionality of the Drafting Committee. They say that it is the job of Parliament, which cannot be given to others under threat and duress. They are umbrage as to how the civil society can subvert the democracy and usurp the powers of Parliament.


As it is was not enough, a group of people, whose interests would be hit hard after and who do not have any hesitation in serving as the lackeys of the corrupt politicians and bureaucrats, have spearheaded the smearing campaign against Bhushans. There are some, who are shamelessly and brazenly painting the image of even Anna Hazare with the black brush. They are referring to some report by Justice P.B. Savant Committee, which is totally rubbish one and which has no relevance at all to the task of the Drafting Committee. One can well understand, if there were any substance in Justice Savant's report, the Maharashtra government would never have remained quiet and spared Anna Hazare, who has become a permanent sore in its eyes because of his relentless struggle against corruption.


Now for the last so many days, some infamous corrupt persons like; Amar Singh and Digvijay Singh have launched attack on Bhushan every day with new allegations. One day for their alleged involvement a CD and the other day in availing the largesse from the Mayawati government in U.P. or on third day for evading the income tax and the next day branding them as Public Interest Litigation blackmailer.


Now the question arises as to why, these controversies are being raked up at this stage? Obviously, the corrupt elements know that they will have to face the heat of the stringent law most, that is why, they are up in arms against the very legislation itself. Nobody is asking a question to these self serving and self styled righteous people that even if Bhushans were involved in misdemeanours, how will that have bearing on their competence of drafting the bill? If they have done something wrong, they should be hanged for that but why the public cause be stalled? Moreover, if the strict law comes into the existence, then all those found in corruption would be prosecuted and penalised including Committee members. Therefore, the need of the hour is to extend fullest possible support to the Drafting Committee, so that strong and effective law is enacted soon to curb and control the menace of corruption.


Bogey being raised by the agents and advocates of corrupt elements must be smashed at any cost and that is where lies, the future of Aam Aadami and this great country with bright future but dismal present and bleak future.

Comical Behaviour of Arvind Kejriwal

'Absurdity' has no limits as far as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is concerned. Just to avoid his appearance before the Enforcement Directorate, he is saying that there was no fault of his and yet why the ED has been sending notice after notice to him. Even a layperson cannot avoid appearing before the court or any authority on the grounds of the notice being sent wrong. Therefore, he cannot judge his case. Everybody knows that if any notice has been received by him/her from the court or any authority, it is for him/her to prove that he/she was not at fault. Nobody can prejudge himself/ herself. The summoned person has to prove innocence, but he/she cannot refuse to appear in the court or before the authority. But Kejriwal is an altogether different person, and he has already claimed himself to be ‘not guilty’ even without appearing before the ED. When Anna Hazare’s movement was at its peak at Jantar Mantar of New Delhi, I also used to go there as it was very near to

The conduct of Kejriwal and AAP Leaders is Repulsive and Lowest of the Low

 Twenty days have elapsed from the incarceration of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, firstly in ED’s custody and thereafter in judicial custody. L’ affaire Aam Adami Party and Arvind Kejriwal have been controversial for over a year. He and his party have been claiming from housetops for the purity and transparency in public life. But nobody ever imagined that AAP and particularly its leader Kejriwal would plumb to such an unfathomable depth of immorality and opacity. Now leaders of AAP are saying that Kejriwal will continue to run the government from jail. However, the question is how will it be feasible? Will it not be a gross violation of constitutional propriety? Mr Kejriwal had cocked the snook to the summons of the ED nine times and at long last he appeared at the directions  of the court. If he had nothing to conceal in the liquor gate scam, he could have appeared at the first call but always avoided appearing by saying that the summonses of the ED were nothing but tools

Hamas does not Deserve any support for its thrashing

       Israel and Hamas war started on 7 th October and has already taken the toll of more than 15 thousand human lives. In the past, no friction with Israel has lasted for more than a week but this time it is still continuing despite the passage of nearly six weeks’ time.  In fact, it is no longer a war but a relentless thrashing of the Hamas terrorists and their sympathisers in the Gaza Strip. According to the latest reports almost the entire Gaza Strip has been occupied by Israel’s forces. Hamas terrorists are hiding like rats in the tunnels, which they have constructed mainly under the hospitals to shield themselves. Terrorists are now targeting hospitals, killing innocent people and blaming Israel’s forces to gain sympathy from the world. But no country has till now come forward to join the war against Israel. Even Iran, Lebanon and Pakistan do not have the courage to face the wrath of Israel.   As a matter of fact, the world can learn a lesson from Israel, which has vowed
