I Fully Endorse Views of Kiren Bedi

I fully endorse the opinion of Kiran Bedi. The Prime target of Team Anna was to have strong Lokpal Bill in place to fight out Corruption or to reduce the level of corruption. If ruling party does not exhibit its willingness to pass the bill, it proves its malicious intention. Ruling Party UPA has absolute majority and it can pass any bill in Parliament, it can pass strong Lokpal too . Despite all protest it passed Nuclear Bill though no benefit has accrued out of it till now. But it does not like to do so. It uses CBI to torture those who oppose the arbitrary, dictatorial and corrupt activity of the Congress Party.

 So far as BJP or NDA are concerned, this group of parties are  undoubtedly better than Congress party and its group UPA.At least common men were happy during the rule of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. People of states like Gujarat,Bihar and Madhya Pradesh are happier than that of other Congress Party ruled states 

It is only media which has projected BJP as communal. In fact it is congress party which is the worst kind of communal party. Several Hindu Muslim riots took place  during rule of Congress Party and the most devastating was Sikh Riot which erupted after the sad demise of Indira Gandhi in 1984. latest is the riot which took place in ASSAM and which disturbed other states too.

On the issue of price rise too, prices of all commodities start rising as soon as Congress Party comes to rule .School Fee , college fee, medical charges , cost of house all have become so mush costly that common men cannot imagine of these for their children and family. Pain of common men has assumed its unbearable proportion.

In the matter of corruption too, congress party has broken all past records of corruption. BJP run state government are performing better than all state governments. I need not enlighten elaborately on this issue because even children now talk of wide spread corruption in the system and they too abuse present ruling government. Elders may have some biased or some love for Congress Party due to many prejudices with BJP or other parties or due to their traditional association with Congress Party but the mind of children is normally unpolluted, unbiased, innocent and honest.

And the most important is that without the support of political party any movement cannot get the desired success. Any individual or any group or any political party cannot be expected fully and perfectly free of corruption. We have to choose a better option among available options. We have to distinguish between Khira Chor and Hira Chor. Keeping in view the bitter truth of all political parties , we may find BJP or NDA better.

Last but not the least , it will take decades for Team Anna to form a all pervasive political party which all India network of devoted honest workers and then win the general election. It is not easy to mobilise required fund to run a political party and to ensure that all workers associated with it are truly honest and disciplined.

As such to achieve the goal of strong Lokpal at the earliest Team Anna has therefore to seek the support of BJP led NDA and then only ruling UPA have a fear in mind of getting defeated. As soon as fear of defeats is created, ruling party will start giving weightage to Team Anna as also other political parties supporting the movement against corruption or price rise.

Since Congress Party knows very well that all opposition parties are divided into various small groups on false ground of secularism or socialism or something else the leaders of Congress Party do not give desired important to pious fight launched by Team Anna or Ramdeo team against Corruption and Balck Money. 

Congress Party has adopted the policy of ‘Divide and Rule ‘and hence Team Anna should also learn lesson from them and try to safeguard their followers from the divisive statements of current ruling party .It is therefore prudent for Team Anna or Team Ramdeo not to make all politicians their enemy.

It is not necessary for Team Anna to take direct support of BJP or any opposition party, it is not necessary for them to merge with any party but it is the very much necessary to have indirect support to change the attitude and response of ruling government on movement launched by Team Anna against Corruption. It is very much necessary for Team Anna not to Dissipate and Waste their energy and time in formation of separate political entity and dilute their fight against Corruption.

It is necessary for Team Anna to target the key enemy first which is Congress Party and which party has been ruling this free India for decades .It is need of the hour to  teach a lesson to present ruling party by adopting the policy of  tit for tat. Team Anna has to focus on one and only one agenda , that is Corruption , corruption and corruption only and nothing more. 

All Problems like that of price rise, black money, unemployment , terrorism will automatically be solved when Indian politics and Indian administration get rid of  the devil of  CORRUPTION

Further as soon as Strong Lokpal is passed and it becomes effective, it will create a fear in minds of all evil doers, all persons and all groups equally , they may  belong to BJP or Congress Party or any other party. Corruption will end or reduce to minimum level as soon as fear of punishment is created in the mind of law breakers is created. It is seen , as soon as a strong IPS officer or strong dry honest Deputy Commissioner join any district , criminal fly away from the district and all departments start functioning for the comfort of dwellers of the district.

We have seen how T. N Seshan created change in the system in the capacity of Election Commissioner and We have seen how dare devil Vinod Roy as CAG has been consistently exposing the bitter truth hidden in the corrupt system. 

If the leader of any country is honest and effective, he ensures others to follow the suit. If the system is strong and is without any loopholes, it will invariably function effectively and honestly.

It is unfortunate in India that criminals do not fear Judiciary and police; rather they use them for their self interest and in trapping persons who oppose their evil acts.

Media men and advocates of democracy and Parliamentary system  who consider them and Congress Party as the only protector of democracy should remember the days of emergency under the misrule of Late Indira Gandhi .

Kiran Bedi fires salvo at Arvind Kejriwal, wants Anna Hazare to step in

PTI | Aug 28, 2012, 05.53PM IST
NEW DELHI: In a veiled attack on Arvind Kejriwal, activist Kiran Bedi today said erstwhileTeam Anna has become "suspect" in its programme after a few chose the political route and suggested that Anna Hazare step in to provide direction.

Bedi also appeared to take a dig on the series of street agitations by India Against Corruption led by Kejriwal when she asked whether "are we a movement for a cause, which was Jan Lokpal Bill, Right to Reject etc or a mass of agitation-ists?"

Asked whether the dissolving of Team Anna has made corrupt more confident now, Bedi said the pressure "may have lessened".

Her remarks came on Twitter against the backdrop of questions being raised on her stand to focus on Congress in the anti-corruption fight and not target BJP.

"Ever since few have opted for political route the movement has become suspect in its programmes. Anna needs to step in to direct," Bedi said.

Hazare had disbanded Team Anna after the anti-corruption movement decided to take a political plunge earlier this month.

Bedi had skipped a protest organised by IAC on Sunday as she was opposed to targeting BJP while Kejriwal and others were of the opinion that both Congress and BJP should be attacked alleging that both were hand-in-glove on corruption.

Defending her stand not to target BJP, the former IPS officer said when she told IAC about not gheraoing BJP chief Nitin Gadkari's residence, it was "only to keep focus" on the party in power.

"Once we prove that voters punish parties in power be at Centre or state which break their trust wider lesson will go gradually," she said.

She said she values her freedom to make choices most. "Had I been politically inclined I would have retired as Delhi Police commissioner," she said terming as "imagination" remarks that she was planning to join BJP for contesting elections.

Bedi is of the view that there should be a "united front against corruption" which includes Hazare and Ramdev and others who are for a strong Lokpal Bill.

Congress frustration on CAG reflects in parliamentary behaviour

By Yashwant Sinha                                  

This article is addressed to all defenders of the faith who are constantly haranguing BJP to stop disruptingParliament and save Indian democracy. Public memory is short, media's shorter. A section of the media also suffers from selective amnesia. 

The Vajpayee-Ied government was the first non-Congress government which governed India for over six years. It won an election in 1999, to return to power. It did suffer the fate of all earlier non-Congress governments in 1998, but acquired stability in its next term. 

Its success led many to believe that Congress was not going to return to power any time soon. The resulting frustration in the Congress led to a complete change in its parliamentary behaviour. One has merely to look at the record of the thirteenth Lok Sabha to realise how often the Congress resorted to disruption and how flimsy were the grounds of those disruptions. Let me chronicle a few just to set the record straight and refresh the memory of the defenders of the faith. 

If frequent adjournment of the Lok Sabha due to interruptions and disorderly scenes resulted in the loss of time of 10.66% during the Twelfth Lok Sabha, it increased to 19% during the Thirteenth Lok Sabha. 

In February 2000, a circular issued by the Gujarat government, allowing its employees to take part in the activities of the RSS paralysed the business of Lok Sabha for at least 10 days. In December 2000, the House was paralysed once again for eight days when CBI filed a chargesheet against three Union ministers in the Babri Masjid case. 

A major part of the budget session of 2001 was lost because of the Tehelka sting operation. The same thing happened when the Comptroller and Auditor-General report on the purchase of coffins for the armed forces was presented to Parliament. Parliament was disrupted and George Fernandes was boycotted by the Congress in Parliament. He was described as a Kafan Chor. 

When the US forces invaded Iraq in early 2003, despite the fact that the prime minister himself made a statement expressing strong opposition to any military action in Iraq, the Congress insisted on Parliament passing a resolution condemning the US action. They disrupted the proceedings of Parliament again for many days until finally the great democrat Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee instructed us to work out a compromise which we did. 

Only then was Parliament allowed to function. Compare Sonia Gandhi's belligerence today to the statesmanship of Vajpayee then. The examples of unprecedented corruption in recent years have been brought in the public domain by none other than a constitutional body like CAG. This has made the prime minister depart from established practice and make a statement in Parliament on August 27, 2012, criticising CAG. An extraordinary statement indeed by a person who has spent all his life as an economic administrator and should know more than anyone else about the role and responsibility of CAG. 

The defenders of the faith are quiet on this point. They never tire of reminding us that according to our parliamentary procedure reports of CAG are automatically referred to the PAC and are examined by the PAC. This is absolutely correct. So, the report of the CAG on the 2G scam came to the PAC. Indeed, this was exactly the argument given by the government to reject our demand for a JPC.

Kiran Bedi seeks Anna Hazare's direction in faction-ridden anti-graft crusade

NEW DELHI: Shadow-boxing between former Team Anna members continued on Tuesday with Kiran Bedi taking a dig at Sunday's agitation and asking for Anna Hazare's intervention.

Referring to India Against Corruption's (IAC) street agitation led by Kejriwal, Bedi tweeted, "Are we a movement for a cause, which was Jan Lokpal Bill, Right to Reject etc or a mass of agitation-ists?"

Asked whether the dissolving of Team Anna has made corrupt more confident now, Bedi said the pressure "may have lessened". "Ever since few have opted for political route the movement has become suspect in its programmes. Anna needs to step in to direct," Bedi said.

Dismissing reports of differences between him and Bedi, Kejriwal said in Bhopal that he had no issues with her and held her in high regard. "I hold Kiran in high esteem and there was no question of my having any problem with her," Kejriwal. He also said that he would talk to Bedi soon.

Anna had disbanded Team Anna after the anti-corruption movement decided to take a political plunge earlier this month.

Bedi had skipped a protest organized by IAC on Sunday as she was opposed to targeting BJP while Kejriwal and others were of the opinion that both Congress and BJP should be attacked alleging that both were hand-in-glove on corruption.

Defending her stand not to target BJP, the former IPS officer said when she told IAC about not gheraoing BJP chief Nitin Gadkari's residence, it was "only to keep focus" on the party in power. However, Kejriwal and others held the view that the Congress as well as BJP should be attacked as both were "hand-in-glove on the issue of corruption".

When questioned about her alleged political ambitions she said, "Had I been politically inclined I would have retired as Delhi Police Commissioner," she said terming as "imagination" remarks that she was planning to join BJP to contest election.
