Jan Lokpal and Civil Society's role

I thought of sharing some of my views regarding this hot Topic : "Jan Lokpal and Civil society's role". What Anna Hazare is doing is a selfless act and his intentions are perfectly fine to end corruption. But I disagree with the formation of Joint committee for making this bill because I have some strong apprehensions about this process in future.

A work of making the laws is in the hands of parliament which is enshrined in our sacred constitution. We elect them and now we don't have faith in them. What Anna Hazare pointed out is a widely accepted fact that most of the politicians are corrupt and he has no faith in them in the formulation of bill. His argument is perfectly valid about the corruption but then I strongly believe that civil society should not have role in the formulation of this bill though the bill is diluted by the government.

Reasons:
1) Law making which is enshrined in our constitution is with the parliament, this process will undermine so called our constitution because of which India is surviving.
2) Once the process of forming a joint committee is started, in future NGOs and the people with wrong intentions just for political mileage will black mail the elected govt to become the part of committee for every bill. Though everyone demands govt. should be transparent but administration can't be run without secrecy. Involvement of civil society in every thing will definitely slow down the administration because of policy of obstruction and non cooperation by both the parties - civil society and Govt.
3) Running the administration is a non trivial job, So by this kind of activity we are actually making this administration more difficult because now the officers will be sacred to work and take decisions effectively though he is honest because every decisions taken by him will be highly scrutinized by civil society. You must be aware that 2/3 of the cases pending in our courts are because of govt. inability to decide on issue matters.
4) The members who are selected from the civil society don't have mandate of the people except Anna Hazare. These members though they are from solid law background are chosen by Anna Hazare himself. One of the member is ex-Union minister of Law which contradicts the Anna's statement that he has no faith in Politicians. Any ways the people who are heading this committee are politicians only.
5) Yesterday's Anna statement about Modi and Nitish was the political statement which is not digested by his own supporters who threatened him that they will take back their support , if he won't back off from this statement . Baba Ramdev who is associated with this movement has political Lineage towards BJP because his org. had donated 11 lakhs to BJP for the party fund.
6) Lets suppose this bill will be enacted, who can give the guarantee that the Lokpal of India will be a man of impeccable integrity, no one. Because all constitutional appointments are political in nature, Govt. definitely won't make the strong person to chair this. And if the lokpal is elected by people then again the element of politics will be involved which in turn damage the foundation of this so called Lokpal institution. This institution has great possibility of misuse.

I don't want to make you skeptical about Anna and his intentions but one thing is true fact that every person has political mindset and you can't detach this from a human being.

We say politicians are corrupt but this reflects only one thing to me- "Common man of India is corrupt". Very simple to explain : Politician starts corruption for winning the mandate of the people. Many of us don't vote which is also a corruption and those who vote, they are bought by spending crores. Who involves in these spendings - So called ethical and efficient Corporate world, big Industrialists ,NRIs and countries like USA , EU etc. If common man of India stops accepting these kind of favors then surely no politician will tend to do corruption.

In India , govt is not "for the people, by the people , of the people " but it is "far the people, buy the people , off the people " and common man owes big responsibility for this.

For me, the main causes of corruption are not Politicians and bureaucracy but they are poverty and illiteracy.

What we can do as a civil society :
1) Fight for right to recall in this country through PIL or through legislative intervention. Right to recall means representatives like MPs and MLA should be recalled by the people if they don't work for the people. Madhya Pradesh is the only state where this instrument is used for Panchayat Raj Institutions. We have to fight for extending it to all level.
2) Fight for making vote a compulsory exercise for every citizen
3) Fight for the effective use of Article 49-O which gives right to abstain in voting.
4) Fight for the Police reforms, To end the nexus between police and Politicians which will automatically reduce corruption.
5) Fight for asking our common rights - right to have road, electricity, quality water, house etc. Irony is no one does An-san for these causes, they do for state's bifurcation and other political motives.
6) Spreading awareness about the right candidates among poor because they are one who are easily fooled.
7) Most important is the to change the attitude of ourselves like don't bribe a police man if you are at mistake, pay the fine and learn not to repeat the mistake; no to bribe at govt offices, let your work will be delayed; use of RTI more and more; effective use of consumer forum etc.

Lokpal institution will automatically be the fruit once if we clear the roots of corruption at common man level and sow the seeds of "No to corruption".

I am not here to teach anyone, I also don't follow all the things which I have mentioned but I have strong belief in them and some where we have to start.
