India for Constitution , Democracy and Human Rights
Campaign....
JanLokpal or Janvirodhi Lokpal?
Recent stir by Anna Hazare (Original name unknown/ Education unknown) & Co. for an Obudsman for corruption in the name of JanLokpal is an ' extra-constitutional method', bypassing the Parliamentary process which is at the heart of Constitutional Democracy which 'We the People’ of India have adopted .
Secondly the unConstitutional demand in the version of JanLokpal to bring the Judiciary and Member of Parliaments under the ambit of anti-corruption law is anti - Constitutional .This will make the Lokpal superior to the Parliament & Judiciary and snatch the sovereignty of the People of India which is exercised through elected representatives and judicial exercise to protect the Constitution.
Where as their is provision in Hazare's bill to bring every 'public servant' from Chaprasi to Prime Minister under Lokpal; it shamelessly leaves the Private Sector; charitable, religious institutions and NGOs out of it. This is nothing but an attack on 'state' by the 'market & media forces' and ‘ religious brahmanical groups' to maintain caste and bring ‘caste capitalism ‘. This is a conspiracy to subvert the Constitution & the methods of fasting are worst than physical violence as they destroy the essence of discussion, debate and reasoning which democracy essentially requires.Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar in his historical speed deliver to the Constituent Assembly on 25th Nov. 1949 advised the People of India to adopt the Constitutional methods for attaining their social and economic objectives. He particularly warned and advised to leave the revoloutionary and civil disobediance methods that Marxists and Gandhians pursue. Hazare by resorting to coercive fasting methods is in infact destablising the democracy and imprisoning the soverignity of we the People of India by disallowing a healthy debate on Lokpal.
Whereas their is every protection to the complainant & whistleblower in the Hazare’s bill; their is none for the accussed Public officials; even if they are acquitted by the courts of land. Why the false complainants & whistleblower if proved by the court of law, should not also be penalised for minimum years of imprisonment along with fine for the loss of dignity & professional life of the accused.
If Hazare's co. believes in Constitution & Democracy they must either find one M.P. to table a private member bill in the Parliament or get their own M.P.s elected by forming a Political Party. Let the People of India know whether the so called civil society [which infact it is not, because it is a clique of some individuals of particular castes without a desire to be a Democratic Society with a Public conscience as Dr. B.R.Ambedkar envisaged] truly represent them. Remember that it is a Parliament which is accountable to the People, the civil society is to none.
The very reluctance of Hazare & co. to bypass ‘Parliamentary process’ and not to talk of corruption in private sector and religious & charitable institutions reflects their ‘undemocratic mentality’. They have hardly fought for any cause of eradication of socio-economic inequalities & injustice, that ‘caste & brahmanism’ has perpetuated and denied humanity to 100 cr SCs,STs, DT/NTs,OBCs, RMs, and women of India.
The media in India; it seems is not the 4th Pillar of Democracy; but 1st Pillar of plutocracy and brahmocracy. It is dishonest & afraid to call ‘Ambedkarites’ and the representatives of Dalits,Tribals, Backwards & Religious Minorities for debate & discourse on vital issues of national life. It is doing its duty dishonestly by alloting precious time to hooligans & children who hardly understand something about Constitution or corruption. What a Sham in the name of public opinion!
The UPA government led by brahmanical Congess of the day is also insincere as far as its ‘Constitutional morality’ is concerned. Whereas it has done not enough to realise the principles of Justice, Liberty ,Equality and Fraternity by establishing ‘Social & Economic Justice’ and building a just & moral social order; now it is foolishly violating the ‘Fundamental Rights’ of protestors ( and making them more important rather than redundant). It seems that the Congress deliberately arrested Hazare and unlawfully allowed him to stay for 2 days in Tihar jail violating jail manual to make him a hero so as to create public hue and cry to run the media show.
It strongly seems that the whole show is managed by Hazare& co. with backdoor support of anti-democratic & anti-Constitutional brahmanical forces ; supported or oppossed by a ‘sham’ of BJP & Congress. It is realy an ‘extra- Constitutional method’ to subvert Constitutional Democracy and maintain caste + brahmanism, so the rights and development of Bahujans can be obliterated adinfinitum for status co. of b3s ( so called brahmins,khatriyas and vaishyas ).
Let the 1 Billion Bahujans, the fair-minded Citizens of India and those who believe in Democracy & Human Rights all over the world understand this. Let them say loudly that they are not with Hazare&co., but for “Constitution , Democracy & Human Rights” which cannot be realised by an anti-Constitutional ‘Obudsman’ – JanLokpal as forced by Hazare&co. upon the People of India .Such an institution as conceived by Hazare&co. is not formulated in any Democratic country of the world( either in European,American ,Asian or Austrlian Democracies) , is a fact which also must be propagated to save Constitutional Democracy from Janlokpal which in fact would be a supra Constitutional body above the Parliament,Goverment and Judiciary.It would indeed prove Lord Acton true when he said ‘ Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absoloutely’. Our Constitutional scheme provides for ‘seperation of powers ‘ and ‘ checks and balances’. The undemocratic,dictatorial Janlokpal would indeed become a defacto janvirodhi Lokpal, and a monster in Democracy.
We are of the view that though a law & institution to tackle corruption within the Constitutional frame work is necessary, but it is more important to establish ’social & economic justice ’; social, economic ,moral, political & intellectual Democracy and Enlightened India/PraBuddha Bharat for putting end to all problems of Bharat i.e. India ; including corruption which is an outcome of casteist exploitation in India which starts from the birth of a child till the search of salvation by bribing the priest (pest)!
Jai Bhim! Jai Phooley!! Jai PraBuddha Bharat!!!

I THINK JANLOKPAL BILL CAN BRING A SERIOUS REDUCTION IN CORRUPTION.
