Let us establish a parallel agency?
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.
As far as India is concerned, it is passing through a very hard time. The people who are elected by the people as public servants are indulging in scams, scandals, muddles, corruption, bribes, taking commissions and taking dalalis and thus they are taking a bigger part of wealth which the people establish, but they are deprived of this wealth by these people who are in power. All complaints, agitations and the rule of media has failed and corruption is still on. The oppositions often raise such objections in the houses and even media is bringing out facts before the people, but the people are just surprised, but they are not in a position to bring court cases against these people and bring back the money they had taken away from the people. We have been informed that these corrupt people had been transferring money so collected and depositing the same in Swiss bank getting assurance from that bank that their names shall never be exposed. People have come to know about the amounts deposited in this bank, but they are not getting names of those who are holding such accounts. Actually the names are being kept secret because once names are brought out, people shall be more surprised to know that some people are identified as public servants of the first order, and some of them had been awarded national awards, but their names are also in that list which shall be supplied to us by the Swiss bank.
Actually the people who are joining politics in India, they are not joining this line for public service. Their main aim is to collect money and therefore, we can say that they have joined this line taking it as a profession, trade, calling and employment and they are successful in this line and that could be the reason that they are drawing other family members in this line. All political parties are not interested in the welfare of the people, rather they are waiting for their turn and all agitations and other protests are not bring any change, but they try to grab power by one way or the other so that they too could collect money and turn rich and leave something for their next generations. We have seen that all police agencies and even courts have failed to stop all these illegal activities and therefore, we must try to establish some parallel agency to have an eye on the politicians and we must ensure through that agency that they are stopped from taking part in scams, scandals, muddles, corruption and bribes and we should take back all such collections to confiscate the same to the state exchequer. The present system is corrupt and it would not stop corruption.
