Year 2011 –
Janlokpal Bill and Congress Government Lokpal Bill
October 26, 2010 –
Arvind Kejriwal wrote letter to Prime Minister to draft a new Lokpal Bill with suggestions.
After that fight for the strong Lokpal Started that is Janlokpal Bill.
April 5, 2011 –
Anna Hazare went on a 'fast-unto-death' demanding that the Jan Lok Pal Bill
Apr 9, 2011 –
Govt. issued a notification in the Official Gazette on formation of a Joint Drafting Committee.
Pranab Mukherjee is the Chairman and Shanti Bhushan is the co-chairman.
It was decided that 5 members from civil society and 5 members from Government of India will discuss and draft a strong Lokpal Bill for the Indian citizens.
Jun 21, 2011 –
Joint Drafting Committee failed.
They do not agree on most important parts of Lokpal Bill.
And government drafted its own Lokpal Bill, a bill which will never end the corruption from India.
A bill in which complainant will go to jail for 2 years and accused a bribe taker for only six months if found guilty.
After that Again Anna Hazare wrote letters and then went on fast before that Anna was arrested and he was sent to Jail.
For me that arrest was not legal.
After 12 days of fast without food Government only agreed for 3 conditions passed a resolution so Anna Hazare can break his fast.
Now India has to see that we get Strong Lokpal Bill this year or after next 42 Years.
Please do not bring caste and religion in making of strong Lokpal bill.
Who ever brings caste and religion in this making of bill you should ask him,
Sir do you think only your caste people pay bribe?
Does other class and caste people do not pay bribe?
A leader who brings caste and religion in making of good law for the benefit of India is not a good leader for your community as well as for India.
