Parliament: The Dirtiest Den of Corruption

Mr. Manish Tiwari, you wanted us to accept that Anna is corrupt, but then didn’t you wish to use this only to make us accept corruption as your way of life? Mr. Digvijay wanted us to believe that Baba Ramdev has cheated us and amassed an enormous wealth but didn’t he mean to set that only as an example to justify corruption? Not that we do not know that you do not have a magic wand Mr. Prime Minister but what is hurting us more is that you do not even wish to possess one. We need no explanations as we now understand how our ‘honest’ Prime Minister wastes all his ‘honesty’ to save the culprits and we also need no clarifications from him as to why he uses his ‘honesty’ in selecting only a few who can be hanged in the name of corruption. The manner in which this government attempted to expose the source and destination of all money transactions of Ramdev in just a few days and the way it miserably failed to showcase any such result in any of the scams listed as Bofors to CWG/2G, have left us with no options but to believe in the obvious. We all understand that corruption will not end the day a bill is passed in the parliament. We all are not lawyers and that too as manipulative as you Mr. Sibbal, but we know that it will also not end by pleading helplessness in the name of growing economy or by accepting your initial contention that there was no loss of public money in the 2G scam or by using police force in the mid-night on helpless and sleeping people gathered to voice their protest against corruption. And this will also not end by forcing us in believing that the law does not permit any bill to be finalised outside the parliament.
Mr. Sibbal and his party must feel very fortunate as the issue has been taken up by the law abiding Indian civil society. Indian society has always believed in waiting till He appears in a new reincarnation and takes all the laws in His hands to wipe out the evils. We are still peacefully requesting, arguing and urging you to pass a bill in the same parliament that has been evolved as the dirtiest den of corruption. Society has still not taken law justifiably in its hands as Mr. Sibbal is wise enough to understand what is meant by this phrase. Please stop befooling everybody by showcasing cosmetic gestures in the name of tackling corruption and hanging small fries who will never be able to return back even a small percentage of the money that the scams have siphoned out of this country.
Howsoever humid the weather be but dews are formed only when a cool surface is found by the water vapour; howsoever filled up the atmosphere be with a combustible gas but it requires at least a spark to blow it up. This nation is unfortunate that no politician, across the entire spectrum of our political parties, is left with a face that can mobilise the restless mass, who have crossed their threshold limits way back, to come out on the streets and wage a war against corruption. We had to wait for an Anna for this to happen. It is pity that our parliament has turned into a dog-fighting street where political parties fight just for their turn of exploiting this country. Let me enlighten you Mr. Sibbal that those who documented provisions for making laws only in the parliament could have never dreamt of this situation where even in an independent India the parliamentarians are still engaged in looting and siphoning the smiles out of the faces of ordinary countrymen.
It is now more than obvious that our Prime Minister is not even willing to acquire the magic wand as he is rejecting a potential magic wand that is being offered to him by Anna. However we all must feel satisfied that the great puzzle - that whose clothes were snatched by Baba Ramdev when he was being beaten out of the Ramlila ground - is now solved as we witness the government standing exposed with nothing left to hide and all its modesty outraged.

Probably you meant 2G instead of 3G (as mentioned in CWG/3G). Of course 3G too will soon join the list of scams.

प्रणाम सर! मैँ आपके वक्तव्योँ से पूरी तरह सहमत हूँ।पर सर मैँ जब भी समाज के लोगोँ के विचारोँ और उनके कार्योँ को तुलनात्मक निगाहोँ से देखता हूँ तो उनमेँ जमीन आसमान का फर्क मिलता है।हम अपने विचारोँ को प्रकट करते है शायद केवल लोगोँ की तालियोँ के लिये, शायद केवल खुद को एक जागरूक इन्सान कहलवाने के लिए,शायद समाज मेँ अपना अहोदा बढाने के लिये।हाँ ऐसे सब लोग चाहते है कि भगत सिँह,सुभाषचन्द्र बोस जैसे लोग फिर से पैदा हो,पर वो हम या हमारे घर मेँ ना हो,किसी पडोसी के घर मेँ हो...sir plz dont take it personaly ,my comment is based on my general perception....... ur student vishal

You have wonderfully highlighted, the harsh truth in a Concentrated form, I must say.

The Govt with their bunch of Jokers (Kapil Sibbal, Subodh kant sahay, Manish Tiwari, Rashid Ali, Renuka Chaudhary & all sundry) stand absolutely exposed.

Now, where is the need of any veil ? They themselves are the corrupt ones, it's nothing but an Open fact now.

We shouldn't be surprised, as they will obviously do whatever they can, Tooth and Nail to shield themselves & their Thug peer Group. The funniest part is that the real Biggies who are the true culprits, behind them are still posing clean in public.

Having said all that, let me assert to all the readers here, that Anna movement against corruption cannot be successful by mere sloganeering and marching on the roads or participating at Ramlila ground.

The real thing is very tough and that is, we all have to change, A BIG CHANGE. We need to see inside ourselves & make sure, we ourselves do not indulge in any corrupt activities.

Can we be prepared for suffering and not choose the easy path of bribing and getting the work done through such means ?

The corruption has reached this level, only because of our own greeds to outdo others, have everything by any means and things like that. Blaming the Govt or the people in Administration is easy but let me tell you they are also our creation only. We only go and que up at MPs, MLAs, Ministers house to get a letter signed for some or other favour. We only prefer paying Touts for avoiding to stand in the que at govt offices (License Authority, Passport office are glaring examples)

We are all affected & complaining but can we escape by simply blaming. The final remedy is not JAN LOKPAL BILL - but our own resolve to Change ourselves for the better.

However the Samudra Manthan has begun and youngsters talking of Corrupt Free India sends signs of Positive Future only.

we are indulging in stereotyping and in turn becoming a victim of the same. Do you want to say that Mr. Atal Bihari Bajpei was corrupt? A Congress follower like me is not going to believe even if a saffron follower is going to say so.
