The Jan Lokpal Bill

Everybody knows about the Anti-Corruption Movement going on in the country. Everyone is familiar with the term JAN LOKPAL BILL. But do we know what exactly is the Jan Lokpal Bill??? What difference will it make if it is passed??? Atleast I was unaware about it until I read this.

I received this on mail from Mr. Manish Desai. Thank You very much for sharing this valuable piece of information with me. And for all those who are still unaware of this, I am posting this. Read it and Circulate it among friends. Let the Country know for what they are fighting and how the Jan Lokpal can curb the Currupts.

Moreover I would also like to Thank Anna Hazare for taking an initiative to fight for this noble cause. I wish him a very good health too.

Existing System	System Proposed by civil society
No politician or senior officer ever goes to jail despite huge evidence because Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) and CBI directly come under the government. Before starting investigation or initiating prosecution in any case, they have to take permission from the same bosses, against whom the case has to be investigated.	Lokpal at centre and Lokayukta at state level will be independent bodies. ACB and CBI will be merged into these bodies. They will have power to initiate investigations and prosecution against any officer or politician without needing anyoneⳠpermission. Investigation should be completed within 1 year and trial to get over in next 1 year. Within two years, the corrupt should go to jail.
No corrupt officer is dismissed from the job because Central Vigilance Commission, which is supposed to dismiss corrupt officers, is only an advisory body. Whenever it advises government to dismiss any senior corrupt officer, its advice is never implemented.	Lokpal and Lokayukta will have complete powers to order dismissal of a corrupt officer. CVC and all departmental vigilance will be merged into Lokpal and state vigilance will be merged into Lokayukta.
No action is taken against corrupt judges because permission is required from the Chief Justice of India to even register an FIR against corrupt judges.	Lokpal & Lokayukta shall have powers to investigate and prosecute any judgewithout needing anyoneⳠpermission.
Nowhere to go - People expose corruption but no action is taken on their complaints.	Lokpal & Lokayukta will have to enquire into and hear every complaint.
There is so much corruption within CBI and vigilance departments. Their functioning is so secret that it encourages corruption within these agencies.	All investigations in Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be transparent. After completion of investigation, all case records shall be open to public. Complaint against any staff of Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be enquired and punishment announced within two months.
Weak and corrupt people are appointed as heads of anti-corruption agencies.	Politicians will have absolutely no say in selections of Chairperson and members of Lokpal & Lokayukta. Selections will take place through a transparent and public participatory process.
Citizens face harassment in government offices. Sometimes they are forced to pay bribes. One can only complaint to senior officers. No action is taken on complaints because senior officers also get their cut.	Lokpal & Lokayukta will get public grievances resolved in time bound manner, impose a penalty of Rs 250 per day of delay to be deducted from the salary of guilty officer and award that amount as compensation to the aggrieved citizen.
Nothing in law to recover ill gotten wealth. A corrupt person can come out of jail and enjoy that money.	Loss caused to the government due to corruption will be recovered from all accused.
Small punishment for corruption-Punishment for corruption is minimum 6 months and maximum 7 years.	Enhanced punishment - The punishment would be minimum 5 years and maximum of life imprisonment.

280 लाख करोड़ का सवाल है ...
भारतीय गरीब है लेकिन भारत देश कभी गरीब नहीं रहा"* ये कहना है स्विस बैंक के डाइरेक्टर का. स्विस बैंक के डाइरेक्टर ने यह भी कहा है कि भारत का लगभग 280 लाख करोड़ रुपये उनके स्विस बैंक में जमा है . ये रकम इतनी है कि भारत का आने वाले 30 सालों का बजट बिना टैक्स के बनाया जा सकता है.



या यूँ कहें कि 60 करोड़ रोजगार के अवसर दिए जा सकते है. या यूँ भी कह सकते है कि भारत के किसी भी गाँव से दिल्ली तक 4 लेन रोड बनाया जा सकता है. 


ऐसा भी कह सकते है कि 500 से ज्यादा सामाजिक प्रोजेक्ट पूर्ण किये जा सकते है. ये रकम इतनी ज्यादा है कि अगर हर भारतीय को 2000 रुपये हर महीने भी दिए जाये तो 60 साल तक ख़त्म ना हो. यानी भारत को किसी वर्ल्ड बैंक से लोन लेने कि कोई जरुरत नहीं है. जरा सोचिये ... हमारे भ्रष्ट राजनेताओं और नोकरशाहों ने कैसे देश को लूटा है और ये लूट का सिलसिला अभी तक जारी है. 


इस सिलसिले को अब रोकना बहुत ज्यादा जरूरी हो गया है. अंग्रेजो ने हमारे भारत पर करीब 200 सालो तक राज करके करीब 1 लाख करोड़ रुपये लूटा. 


मगर आजादी के केवल 64 सालों में हमारे भ्रस्टाचार ने 280 लाख करोड़ लूटा है. एक तरफ 200 साल में 1 लाख करोड़ है और दूसरी तरफ केवल 64 सालों में 280 लाख करोड़ है. यानि हर साल लगभग 4.37 लाख करोड़, या हर महीने करीब 36 हजार करोड़ भारतीय मुद्रा स्विस बैंक में इन भ्रष्ट लोगों द्वारा जमा करवाई गई है. 


हमे भ्रस्ट राजनेताओं और भ्रष्ट अधिकारीयों के खिलाफ जाने का पूर्ण अधिकार है. हाल ही में हुवे घोटालों का आप सभी को पता ही है - CWG घोटाला, २ जी स्पेक्ट्रुम घोटाला , आदर्श होउसिंग घोटाला... और ना जाने कौन कौन से घोटाले अभी उजागर होने वाले है........ 

आप लोग जोक्स फॉरवर्ड करते ही हो. 

इसे भी इतना फॉरवर्ड करो की पूरा भारत इसे पढ़े ... और एक आन्दोलन बन जाये

Petrol Price Hike

Some friends here feel that the petrol price hike was inevitable and its not linked to corruption - the truth is, it wasn't and it is! There are a few points one should ponder upon before jumping to quick conclusions:

1. Fuel prices in India are already much more than in many other countries due to a numbers of taxes and levies. Why doesn't the Govt consider lowering these taxes before allowing the hike in fuel prices?

2. Why is it that diesel is still being subsidised when several recommendations have been made to bring diesel prices at parity with that of petrol? Isn't it in effect, collecting the money from middle class in form of petrol price hike and bribing the farmers and SUV/MUV owners?

3. Delhi based industrialist Bharat Ram says, "There are mainly two large manufacturers who produce primarily diesel vehicles and, through the automobile associations, they have a strong lobby to keep status quot. Only one out of 10 vehicles was running on diesel "some years ago" . At present, there is a gap of Rs 20.62 a litre between the price of the two motor fuels in Delhi."http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-05-10/india-business/29527886_1_petrol-and-diesel-litre-diesel-vehicles

4. There are lakhs if not millions of Govt vehicles plying on the roads, ferrying NETAS and BABUS. Who pays for the fuel in these vehicles? Why hasn't the Govt. considered moving to cleaner fuels like CNG? Their vehicles still run on precious petrol and diesel?

5. A lot of people say that hiking the price of petrol is beneficial for the environment. Have you ever asked the Govt. why urban mass transport systems (in most cities) are in complete disarray and inefficient? Do you feel people travel by own expensive transport out of choice? Why don't we have an efficient metro rail in all metro cities and efficient mass transport in other cities? Isn't this a deficiency in governance and complete disregard for the people?

6. We would not like to reveal the source but we have been told that the petrol prices are being hiked to bring the price to a level to make it profitable for private operators to enter the fray again, they quit the business few years back since they could not compete with the subsidized fuel sold by Govt owned companies!!! Not possible without greasing a few palms and really big ones for that matter!!!

7. Why is the Govt not taxing these private vehicles heavily and investing the money on efficient public transport systems? Instead what we get is, several new car launches every month, That is the only way to cut down the consumption of fossil fuels!!!
