Since last few days my fellow countrymen have been enlightened, thanks to "incarnation" of M.K.Gandhi. Everybody was convinced that one law drafted by "civil society" will wipe out all corruption from the country. Only time will prove valdity of this conviction. So I am leaving it on the fate of this counntry to decide upon it. Though there was many constitutional and legal issues regarding joint drafting of the said law, somehow, 126 years old political party failed to convince people regarding it. There were compromises from both sides. The movement which started to force government to accept the "Jan lokpal bill" settled at formation of joint committee. Committee of non political people to draft a law is not new, almost all laws are drafted by non political people only. I am surprised that a person openly abusing politicains accepted to work with them...so strange. My innocent fellow countrymen have always failed to understand the behind the curtain strategies and this issue is not an exception.
Idea of Lokpal bill is more than 50 years old. Drafting of bill by "civil society" activists was going on since last few years. Negotiations failed and this movement was launched. Have you ever thought about the timing of the launch. The timing itself suggests the "political masterstroke". With government already struggling to come over the corruption crisis, this was another powerfull blow to it. Only thing which have hold the country has been cricket. This movement was well planned to be launched between two mega cricketing events. Another reason was assembly elections in 4 major states and 1 UT. UPA is already struggling to make, what was thought to be easy win 12 months ago. It would have been a political crisis if government would have stood firmly. So government decided to give in. Why did government waited for 80 hours?? this was also strategic delay. With Mr. Sharad Pawar getting stronger polotically congress desperately wanted to cut his stature short. With Mr. Modern Gandhi SIngling out hon. Minister of agriculture, it was easy for congress to put him on back foot. Finally it succeeded. Somehow after his resignation from GoM civil society was satisfied to certain extent. It seemed either this movement was against him or his is symbol of corruption, interpretation is on reader.
Coming to the conclusion of the movement. Movement concluded with "non-notified" joint committee. The composition which is being discussed in media seems to be win win situation for GoI. Committee of 10 with 5-5 members will never be concluded unless some one decides to compromise. Governennt's victory lies in "chairperson" if he is granted veto power. Another saviour of government would be Justice Hegde, who has openly said that he is against some of provisions of Jan Lokpal bill. But can my fellow countrymen understand how can a rtd. SC judege, currently Lokayukta of Karnataka, known for his pre-congress stand be representative of civil society???? He is the victory point for government which will get through with little modification in original Lokpal bill and propaganda of 80 hours will be ineffective in the end.
Mr. Modern Gandhi openly used his vocabulary to kick politicians and now he has agreed to work with them on the same table and he will end up on dissenting side and my countrymen will again feel looted. Dear friends will be back again on this topic after 30th june..if you all can remember this propaganda till then. Just one advice for free..use your brains before following anyone blindly and ending up benefitting him.
