Congress Mukh patra magazine says that the matter of governance & legislation is the sole domain of the elected representatives and not of the people on the street by name of civil society. It is only correct technically and the question comes who are these elected people? Are they having some very superlative quality or intelligence or are they the only champion of the cause of the masses. They want to convey the message that for 5 years the elected people will do whatever they like without being questioned.Not that all elected people are corrupt & greedy but because they are not reigning in the corruption right in front of their eyes they become a party to it and enjoy greater power of authority due to corruption. This is where the problem starts- we know that about 33% of the MPs in the parliament have tainted records.
We observe very minutely the proceedings in the parliament on the TV and the picture that we see is not very encouraging & fails to repose our trust in them. Our children watch this indiscipline and think nothing is wrong in being indiscipline.The question for cash and voting for cash has become very common . These are the reasons why people on the street come into picture.The proposed JAN LOK PAL BILL is just a start to root out corruption and any one opposing it is branded corrupt as he opposes this and has no other effective workable ways to do it. The existing system has been in place for 63 yrs but the result is disastrous.
