"GUILTY MUST BE PUNISHED"
The youth is aware of what is right and wants the system to be clean for future generations
Members of the Civil Society are fighting corruption in the country. The common man however, is getting impatient with the complications and delays in the Lokpal Bill. The aam admi is not bothered about the allegations regarding the members of the drafting committee. What matters is the intent the committee has — to come out and fight a disease that has enveloped the nation. The drafting committee have never had it so bad. Hopefully, the allegations that are making the headlines almost everyday — about their land deals, their water and electricity bills and their tapped conversations (true or false) will not deter them from their mission. One wonders what the Government will do next?
Anna Hazare and his team are being saluted today for staying focused on their work despite the Government gunning after them. The adage that people living in glass houses should not throw stones at others aptly applies here. It would be best to not talk about the political games that our politicians indulge in. The public is angry. The fight against corruption started by Hazare has now become a people’s movement now.
The youth is restless and is ready to fight for as what is right. They are not ready to bribe either the postman or a MCD official to get the routine work done. The younger generation is educated and is aware of what is happening around him. They know their rights and they will fight for it. The attacks on the reputation of the drafting committee members of the Lokpal Bill has not been taken kindly by them. They know it is a well planned attack and even if new members are brought in, new allegation will surface against them as well unless a person is appointed who is hand in glove with the Government.
Why is it that such a big issue is being made out against the members. Is it not enough that the person sitting in the committee has a clean image and his intentions are clear? The members of the drafting committee find favour with the public. The common man is aware that the politicians have a tendency to blow everything out of proportion.
Elsewhere, with the elections in Uttar Pradesh a lot is at stake here. For many, it is a do and die situation. To win in this State, it is important to work with the grassroot worker who knows the ground reality. It is not possible for people to sit in Delhi and ensure that the election will be won, especially in a State where caste and creed play an important role.
Delivering what you have promised is going to win you accolades and not fighting over issues that are close the hearts to the public. This generation wants to leave a cleaner society for the future generations. Is it not time to make sure that the Lokpal Bill is in place?
It is time to punish the guilt and set an example. The public will thank those who have been responsible for putting the scamsters behind bars and will easily vote them to power.
