Govt protects corruption to survive

Does Govt really want to eradicate corruption? Is Congress honest in saying that it has zero tolerance on corruption? Answer to these questions is a big NO.

Recent appointment of P J Thomas as CVC has once again confirmed that Congress has double standards on corruption. Congress talks of zero tolerance on corruption but in reality it protects corruption. Supreme Court is now examining whether new CVC can be called an outstanding civil servant with an impeccable track record.

Any Govt which compromises for its survival can not be called an honest Govt; and a Govt which is not honest can not be act against corruption. It could only find P J Thomas as new CVC, who as Telecom Sec had questioned the old CVC's attempt to look in to the alleged Rs. 140,000 crore 2 G spectrum scam. It is also alleged that P J Thomas had promoted corrupt officers to top posts in MTNL and BSNL.

How can India fight against corruption with congress in power and Thomas as CVC?

How to root out corruption

Arvind Kejriwal has wrtitten an article in Times of India, titled "How to root out corruption". He has rightly pointed out that the present anti-corruption laws and systems in our country suffer from internal contradictions. There is a plethora of anti-corruption agencies. In each of these agencies, the government has deliberately left some critical loophole so as to make it ineffective.

He suggests that all these anti-corruption agencies should be merged into one single agency, the Lokpal. Give it jurisdiction over both bureaucrats and politicians. Give it comprehensive powers to investigate and prosecute the guilty without needing any permission.
