Lok Pal Bill- do not subvert the Constitution
Public administration & governance issues demand not Twitter and Facebook group pressures and inputs but educated inputs from those who truly understand the principles of government, legislation and jurisprudence.
If we do not want to believe in the capability of Prime Minister and Justices if Supreme Court then, what next?
Is it anchors of Times Now and NDTV and few splinter groups vociferous in protests who should be able rewrite constitutional authorities' fate?
The constitution did provide adequate well thought out processes for punishing these highly placed institutions.
Yes, it is a more difficult process than like punishing a peon.
We cannot create parallel subordinate but having superior authority like Lok Pal compared to Supreme Court and Cabinet of the country.
Too much confused misdirected effort is going on.
What is the key contributor for the various cogs in the wheel of governance to deviate from sworn path of honest discharge of duties?
In my opinion the current secretive working with the assurance that a case cannot be framed in any reasonable time against his dereliction of duty and further abuse of office, gives confidence to the wrong doer.
Further the same bureaucratic process can be used to deny or delay data collection.
The simplest step is to make public within 24 hours the entire file leading to the government orders.
Then ready evidence makes it easy to proceed for any public interest organization to use even existing laws, to stop the government even before any damage can be done.
Actually this step puts every one on alert and will not even think of wrong doing.
Instead we are going round chasing own tail.
