THE LIFE APPEARS TO HAVE COME THROUGH FULL CIRCLE. A DAY MAY COME WHEN SOMEONE WILL  BE FORCED TO ASK WETHER TO REMAIN ALIVE IS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OR NOT. THE ARGUMENT WILL BE GIVEN IN FAVOUR OR AGAINST IT BY A WORTHY ADVOCATE TURNED A POLITICIAN, A CITIZEN TURNED A CABINET MINISTER WHOSE LIFE HAS BEEN ENGAGED IN A COURT TO PROOVE A INCIDENT OR OTHERWISE BASED ON THE EVIDENCES WHERE  CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE IS NEEDED TO ESTABLISH A CHARGE. THE COURT NEVER WORKS ON THE PRINCIPLE OF PREPONDRANCE OF PROBABILITIES WHICH PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO PEOPLE LIKE OUR WORTHY FRIEND KAPIL SIBBAL TO EARN LIVLIHOOD, NAME , FAME AND OFFCOURSE MONEY- A ATTRIBUTE SYNONYMOUS WITH  POWER AND STATUS IN SOCIETY. MR KAPIL SIBBAL HAS NOT PROBABLY REALIZED THAT NOW HE IS NOT ARGUING IN A COURT OF LAW WHERE HIS CAPABILITY TO FIND OUT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CUP OF TEA AND THE LIPS WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THE ONLY QUALIFICATION WHICH PEOPLE LIKE KAPIL SIBBAL POSSESS THE SYCOPHANCEY-READ LOYALITY- WITH A PARTICULAR FAMILY AND NOTHING ELSE. MR SIBBAL NEED TO KNOW THAT A COMMON ,RUSTIC MAN MAY NOT HAVE THE POMP AND SHOW OF A HIGH FLY ONE BUT HIS BASIC INSTINCT AND COMMON SENSE IS FAR MORE DEVELOPED THAN THOSE WHO TRY TO BEFOOL THEM.

 NOW WE HAVE COME TO A SITUATION WHERE OUR OWN ELECTED GOVT HAS COME TO BE VIEWED AS THE VILLIAN OF OURSELVES. I DO NOT  KNOW BUT THIS SITUATION IS BAD TO WORSE FOR THIS CONGRESS LED GOVT. IN THE PRE-INDEPENDECE ERA SUCH EMOTIONS WERE RESERVED FOR THE BRITISH RULERS. THEY WERE THE OUTSIDERS AND  NOT ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE BUT THOSE IN-CHARGE OF THIS GOVT NEED TO ANALYISE AS TO HOW COME THE ACTIONS OF THIS GOVT IS BEING VIEWED BY PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR EMOTIONS AND REACTIONS AS IT USED TO VIEW THE BRITISH GOVT IN INDIA. THOSE WHO ARE SITTING IN THE PARLIAMENT SAY THAT THEY ARE REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE BUT PEOPLE DOES NOT ENDORSE WHAT THIS GOVT HAS BEEN DOING ON THE ISSUE OF  YOG GURU RAMDEV AND NOW WITH ANNA HAZARE ON THE ISSUE OF CORRUPTION & LOKPAL BILL. THE UPA GOVT IS IN POWER- IT MEANS IT HAS MAJORITY AND SHOULD REPRESENT PEOPLES WISH AT LARGE. ACTALLY IT IS NOT SO. THE RUILING MAJORITY APPEARS TO HAVE LOST FAITH OF THOSE WHO HAVE ELECTED THEM AND THOSE SITTING IN THE OPPOSITION APPEARS TO HAVE REPRESENTING PEOPLES WISH. THIS SITUATION PRESENTS TWO PROBLEMS-

1) THOSE WHO ARE NOT IN POWER AND BY VIRTUE OF IT NOT HAVING MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE MAY AND WILL REPRESENT THE PEOPLE.

 2) IF THOSE WHO HAVE MAJORITY DO NOT REPRESENT PEOPLE THEN WHETHER THEY HAVE WRITE TO RULE AND TAKE DECISIONS ON BEHALF OF PEOPLE?

 CLEARLY THOSE WHO ARE IN MINORITY MAY ALSO REPRESENT PEOPLES WISH AND ASPIRATIONS AT LARGE AND IT MIGHT HAPPEN THAT THEIR REPRESENTATION MAY BE MORE TRULY REPRESENTATIVE OF MASSES WILL. THEN WHY CAN,T THE OPPOSTION HAVE THE SAY IN DECISION MAKING.

ALL THE MINISTERS TAKING PRESS BRIEFING IS CRYING THAT THEY ARE IN POWER, THE PARLIAMENT IS THE SUPREME AUTHORITY TO ENACT A LAW AND SINCE THAY HAVE MAJRORITY SO THAY HAVE THE LICENCE TO DO WHATEVER THAY WANT IN THE NAME OF BEING PEOPLES REPRESENTATIVE. THE PUBLIC UPROAR ON THE ISSUE OF LOKPAL BILL ESTABLISHES THAT THE MPs OF RUILING COALITION DO NOT KNOW THE WISHES OF THEIR PEOPLE. THAY SEEMS TO KNOW BETTER THE PARTYLINE DICTATE TO THEM AND THEIR ROOTLESS LEADERS DIRECTIONS  WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN GETTING THEM THE ELECTION TICKET. THESE SEASONED POLITICIANS KNOW THAT IN THE LONGER RUN THE POWER, MONEY AND PROXIMITY TO THOSE HAVING SAY IN THE MATTER WILL COUNT. HENCE THERE LOYLITY IS MISPLACED AND SO IS THEIR AIM IN LIFE-POLITICAL LIFE-.THEY SHOULD SERVE THE COUNTRY BUT THEY SERVE THEMSELVES.

NO BODY CAN TELL HIMSELF A LIE. LET THEM EXAMINE THEMSELVES AND SEE HOW MUCH THESE POLITICIANS HAS EARNED BY GRATIFICATION AND MISDEED. THIS IS TRUE OF EVERYBODY, NOT ONLY OF MINISTERS BUT OF PETTY AUTHORITIES TOO. BIGGER IS THE POST BIGGER IS HIS PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL STATUS . GRATIFICATION IS THE SOLE CONSTITUENT OF IT. THEN WHY NOT TO START FROM TOP. EVERY MINISTER OR MOST OF THEM TODAY PLAYS IN CRORES. A CLERK TAKES BRIBES OF FEW HUNDRED RUPEES AND A MINISTER TAKES FEW BILLIONS RUPEES. BOTH ARE WORKING IN PROPORTION OF THEIR POWERS WHICH THEY ENJOY. THIS IS CALLED THE INSTITUTIONALISATION OF CORRUPTION IN COUNTRY. THERE MIGHT BE FEW EXCEPTIONS BUT THE VAST MAJORITY IS INDULGED IN CORRUPTION AND GRATIFICATION.

THE CENTRAL GOVT PROFESS VOWS TO FIGHT CORRUPTION BUT IN REALITY IT DOES NOT WANT TO FRAME THE STRONG LOKPAL BILL. THE REASONS IS VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND. IF A SRONG LOKPAL BILL IS ENACTED ALMOST ALL THE MINISTERS MIGHT LAND IN JAIL, FEW FOR BEING A PARTY TO CRIME AND FEW ABETTING CRIME. AS IT IS FEW OF ITS  MPs READ MINISTERS ARE ALREADY IN JAIL. A SITUATION MIGHT COME WHEN THE RUILING PARTY- WHETHER PRESENT ONE OR THE PREVIOUS ONES- ALL WOULD BE FOUND IN THE JAIL AND THE PARLIAMENT MAY BE FORCED TO TRANSACT THEIR BUSINESS THERE. THIS IS NOT A JOKE , IT IS A STARK REALITY. THIS PRESENTS MORE SERIOUS SITUATION FOR CONGRESS BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN  IN POWER  FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD AFTER INDEPENDENCE. THOUGH THERE IS THE RISK TO OTHER PARTIES ALSO BUT THE REAL MUSIC IS GOING TO BE FACED BY CONGRESS. EVEN IF THE PERCENTAGE OF DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR AND MISUSE \ ABUSE OF POWER ASSUMED TO BE SAME FOR ALL THE PARTIES- CONGRESS IS GOING TO FACE BIGGER CHALLENGE THEN  ANY ONE ELSE.

WHY DO NOT WE HAVE A MECHANISIM IN OUR CONSTITUTION TO ASSESS  WHETHER THE ELECTED AND NON ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OF PEOPLE ARE TRULY  REPRESENTING THE WISHES OF PEOPLE OF THEIR CONSTITUENCIES IN THE INTERVENING PERIOD OR  OTHERWISE.i.e. BEFORE THE EXPIRY OF TERM OF PARLIAMENT OF FIVE YEAR. WHY PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO BEAR THE EXCESSES BEING COMMITTED  BY THE MPs AFTER ELECTING THEM ? WHY CAN, T THE PUBLIC CAN REMOVE THEIR REPRESENTATIVES WHEN THEY  NO LONGER ACT ACCORDING TO THE WISHES OF PEOPLE? THERE SHOULD BE SOME SYSTEM TO ENSURE THAT MPs CONTINUE TO REPRESENT PEOPLE. IF THEY DO NOT THEN THEY SHOULD BE CHANGED. THE SOLUTION LIES IN NATIONAL REFREDUM ON IMPORTANT ISSUE LIKE THE ISSUE OF CORRUPTION . THE GOVT SHOULD GO IF PEOPLE DO NOT ENDORSE THIR ACTIONS. IDEALLY THIS SITUATION SHOULD NOT ARISE IN THE DEMOCRACY BUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF MOST OF THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES HAVE MISPLACED LOYALITY AND AIM  NOT IN TUNE AT  WITH NATIONAL GOAL AND SERVICE. IN TODAYS SCEANARIO THIS PARADOXICAL SITUATIION IS BOUND TO ARISE. THE SOLUTION WOULD AND SHOULD HAVE TO BE FOUND BY PEOPLE..

THERE IS THE LESSON TO PEOPLE ALSO. WHY DO THEY VOTE BASED ON CASTE, CREED, RELIGION AND REGIONALISM? WHY IT IS SO THAT WHEN A CANDIDATE IS DECIDED FOR A CONSTITUENCY THEN THE CASTE OF THE PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATE COUNTS MOST? WHY DO THE PEOPLE VOTE ON THE BASIS OF CASTE? AS LONG AS PEOPLE WILL GIVE MORE IMPORTANCE TO CASTE AND REGIONALISM, THE POLITICAL PARTIES WOULD CONTINUE TO COUNT CASTE FACTOR. THE BRITISH USED TO DIVIDE PEOPLE BASED ON FAVOUR, PATRONAGE AND NOW OUR POLITICIANS ARE DIVIDING BASED ON CASTE. THE BRITISH USED TO RULE AGAINST THE WISH OF PEOPLE ,NOW THE ELECTED GOVT IS DOING THE SAME. IN PRE-INDEPENDENCE PERIOD THERE USED TO BE AGITATION AGAINST FOREIGN RULERS NOW IT IS  AGAINST THE ELECTED  GOVT. EARLIER THE BRITISH USED TO PLUNDER THE WEALTH OF THE NATION  NOW THE PARTNERS AND CONSTITUENTS OF GOVT ARE MASQUANDERING THE NATIONAL WAELTH & PRIDE.

IN FACT  NOTHING HAVE CHANGED IN ALL THESE YEARS, ONLY THE FACE HAVE CHNGED. THAT’S WHY ANNA HAZARE HAS SAID TO FIGHT THE FREEDOM STRUGGLE NUMBER TWO. THE PREVAILING SITUATION IN THE COUNTRY IS AKIN TO PRE-INDEPENDENCE ERA. THERE IS A SAYING- IF YOU CANNOT WIN A PERSON THEN TRY TO ASSASINATE HIS CHARACTER. THIS IS WHAT THE CRONIES LIKE KAPIL SIBBAL, AMBIKA SONI, MANISH TIWARI HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO. I FEEL PITY ON THE CONGRESS PARTY WHO HAVE REACHED TO A SITUATION WHERE IT FIELDS SUCH PEOPLE TO TRY THIS NONSENSE. I WONDER ABOUT THE MATURITY BEING DISPLAYED BY THE CONGRESS AND ITS LEADERS. WHAT GUIDANCE THEY WOULD GIVE TO FATE OF THE NATION WHEN THEIR OWN BEHAVIOUR IS CHILDISH.

CONGRESS PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT ANNA HAZARE IS CHALLENGING  THEM TO PROOVE CORRUPTION OF EVEN 100 RUPEES AGAINST HIM. THEY CAN,T PROOVE THAT. WHY PEOPLE LIKE MANISH TIWARI CAN GET AWAY AFTER TALKING ALL SUCH RUBBISH? DOES CONGRESS PARTY ENDORSE WHAT HE SAID?. IF YES THEN SHAME TO CONGRESS AND IF NOT THEN WHAT ACTION THEY ARE TAKING AGAINST TIWARI?  OR IT IS THE COMEDY CIRCUS  GOING ON WHERE ANY JOKER COMES AND GOES  AND IS NOT ACCOUNTABLE TO WHATEVER HE DOES . THE CONGRESS LEADERS AND MINISTERS MAY BE SO NAÏVE TO BELIEVE THAT WHATEVER IS BEING DONE BY DELHI POLICE , IS ON THEIR OWN AND THE POLITICIANS HAVE NO ROLE IN IT. COULD BE THESE MINISTERS ARE SUCH A BIG FOOL BUT DEFINITELY NOT THE PUBLIC. IN A COUNTRY WHERE EVEN CBI ACTS ON THE DICTAT OF THEIR POLITICAL BOSSES, HOW CAN DELHI POLICE NOT ACT ON THE ORDERS OF CHIEF MINISTER- DELHI, HOME MINISTER AND PRIME MINISTER. THEY HOPE THAT PUBLIC WOULD BELIEVE THEIR COCK& BULL STORY. ALL RUBISH…….

I HAVE TO SAY ONE THING. IF ALL THESE CABINET MINISTERS WHO SAY THAT THEY ENJOY THE BACKING OF PUBLIC AND ACTING AS PER THE MANDATE GIVEN TO THEM BY PUBLIC,  THEN THEY SHOULD SIMPLY TAKE ONE ACID TEST. JUST  RESIGN THEIR SEAT AND GET RELECTED FROM THEIR OWN CONSTITUENCY ON THE ISSUE OF CORRUPTION. IF THEY ARE WORTHY OF THEIR SALT, LET THEM DO THIS.  LET ME TELL YOU THESE MINISTERS WOULD EVEN LOOSE THEIR SECURITY DEPOSIT. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE COURAGE EVETO GO  AMIDST THEIR ELECTORATES WITHOUT THE ATTACHED SECURITY.  MR SIBBAL ,PLEASE DO THIS AND DEMONSTRATE IF…. YOU CAN.

ANNA IS IN JAIL- A PLACE WHERE OFFENDERS AND CULPRITS ARE KEPT. I FEEL EVEN HIS INMATES HAVE MORE MORALITY THAN THOSE SITTING IN THE PARLIAMENT AND DOING THESE MISADVENTURES. WHAT IF  JAILMATES  JOIN ANNA….. WHAT THIS GOVT WOULD DO? THIS IS THE TIME FOR ACTION AND  TIME FOR DEMONSTRATION OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE CAUSE FOR WHICH ANNA IS FIGHTING.  THOSE IN POWER ARE IN FOR SOME TOUGH LESSONS IN TIME TO COME.  ONLY TIME WILL TELL AND TEACH THEM.
