forced accountability ...

Hues and cries over proposed lokpal bill which was advocated in 1966 for making accountability as compulsion for every public service person , if not then a enquiry over all govt officials.Its almost 45 years of delay for this bill but probably this summer we will get it !!!!

There is noting new philosophy in lokpal concept , its objective is same as of our constitution and also same as our govt works for which suppose to deliver same.In between 40 years central govt power chaged from dominace of congress to short phase of janta-dal to coalition of bjp to coalition of congress but no one wants a bigger authority than their own under there leadership.

Every section of public service is reluctant for this bill and rightly so.
But this time due to socialist behavior of PUBLIC they are forced to introduce bill but even today there is no open political support (either from opposition or within govt) , no bureaucratic support , no coorporate support and no judicial support , this is simply humanistic and rational reasosn for not to introduce this bill or if passes then it should be a toy in hand of govt likes of cbi,cvc .. etc.

but People like hazare is making it tough for govt. by forcing them to increase its ambit till the to of hierarchy , may be he will influenece govt to put some more clauses in bill due to which i would look like a independent authority but i guess it would not works like same. In india there is nothing like Independent agencies there is only 'central' agencies.Probably lokpal will have all clauses but will not serve anything just like IPC which has all the clauses of world but has operational limitations.quite logicial we need a comprehensive bill for lokayukt and then a more accoutable lokpal.
and it should be mandatory for state to adopt the concept of lokayukt/lokpal as they are there work for public only.

Signing off...

I have my own reservations when it comes to Lokpal Bill. As you stated bill is about creating a central authority which is Judiciary + Police in one. But unfortunately it is not elected through a democratic system. It is selected by likes of Bharat Ratna, Indian Nobel winners, High court judges, aur dusre bade bade bande. classic case of elite running the system cause lokpal will be the most powerful authority and once you are the lokpal.. koi mayi ka lal tumhara bal bhi baka nahi kar sakta. agar woh bhi gaane laga ... ish shahar k naye collector papa rancho hum hai to ??

Koi mujhe yeh bhi bataye how eligible Lata Mangeshkar (Bharat Ratna) is to decide matters of let say economic importance or future of india.

I am not saying tht we shld not do anything. We must do warna desh nahi chalega
