Lokpal bill passed in Lok Sabha

Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed the Lokpal and Lokayukta Bill, 2011 by voice vote even as the Left, BSP and SP staged a walkout. SP and BSP staged a walk out from the Lok Sabha shortly before the voting on the lokpal bill in protest against the government bringing a "weak legislation"  

• Lokpal bill was passed without Constitutional status due to lack of 2/3 consensus in parliament . 
• Before the Lokpal Bill as put to vote the Government amended Section 24, the provision to keep armed forces under its ambit, 
• the state government will decide on the Lokayuktas, 
• and the requirement of three-fourth members of Lokpal to approve inquiry against the Prime Minister was changed to two-third.
• The Leader of the Opposition raised objections to several issues including creation of Lokayukta through the lokpal bill and the process of appointment and removal of the ombudsman 
• They also demanded inclusion of CBI under its ambit,

• The lokpal bill was rejected as weak and inadequate by several parties which wanted it to be withdrawn even Manmohan Singh pushed for it while rejecting demands for bringing CBI under the ambit of the anti-graft ombudsman.
• BJP's leader Yashwant Sinha called the Congress-led UPA government "morally bankrupt" which has brought a "brokepal" bill instead of lokpal bill. Sinha said that the rampant corruption in the country in the past years had prompted Anna Hazare to go on fast.
• Earlier, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj said it should be sent back to the Parliamentary Standing Committee for further discussion to make it "effective and strong". "Accept our amendments or withdraw the bill... Send it back to standing committee for further discussion," she said while describing it as a "patently unconstitutional" legislation which the Opposition will not "tolerate".  
• Tearing into the bill in its present form, Swaraj said it would "sow the seeds of second partition" as it has the provision for religion-based reservation which was "patently unconstitutional".
• UPA partners, Trinamool Congress and DMK, also supporting parties like RJD and SP, maintained that the provisions to create Lokayuktas through a central legislation would impinge on the powers of the states and wanted that it should not be rushed under pressure of the Anna Hazare movement.
• RJD chief Lalu Prasad also demanded its withdrawal contending that the bill was brought in "haste under pressure".

• Pushing for passage of the bill, the Prime Minister said a "holistic" approach was needed to deal with the "cancer" of corruption but rejected demands for bringing CBI under the purview of lokpal, warning that no entity should be created inconsistent with the country's Constitutional framework.
   "I believe that the CBI should function independently of the lokpal. We believe that the CBI should function without interference through any Government diktat."He said
•  Prime Minister also dismissed opposition to the provision on setting up of Lokayuktas in states, saying federalism cannot be an impediment in the war against corruption as essential services in the states are the "bane" of corrupt practices. 
• Singh reiterated the supremacy of the Parliament and said that it should take the final decision on the bill. Singh said that others can persuade and have their voices heard but the final decision while making policy must rest with us.

• Demanding that lokpal should be accountable to both Parliament and Supreme Court, CPI(M) leader Basudeb Acharia said corruption by corporates and business houses should be brought under the lokpal ambit. 

• Kapil Sibal  led the Congress counter-charge and  hit out   at the BJP saying it had "political motives" to delay the bill so that it benefits them in the upcoming polls through Anna Hazare's campaign. "If you oppose this bill, you will be violating the sense of the House and people will never forgive you," he told the Opposition. 

Editor's View: This lokpal bill passed has a number of errors(see those errors ). Another thing to be considered is that Government got full time (more than 3 months to standing committee and full 6 months to government ) to frame a healthy lokpal so they or others should not blame Team Anna for lack of time.Government simply made a revengeful formality!! We didn't demand for this beggar faced lokpal!

 FIVE BIG QUESTIONS affecting this movement.


Q.1 Is Anna an agent of rss?
Ans.  -Anna said Advani's Rath Yatara is a 'Nautanki'
         -Anna Said If congress is graduate then Bjp is post Graduate in terms of corruption
         -Anna said that even Bjp has misused CBI.
         -Anna had conducted anti corruption movements even against BJP!
         -Anna Conducted survey's and campaigns in even BJP's Constituencies and said not to vote BJP if it   doesn't support lokpal.Then how the hell he is an agent of rss

Q2.What is Anna's relation with  Nanaji Deshmuk?
Ans. Recently  Digvijay declared that Anna is an rss member by showing his photo with  Nanaji Deshmuk
The Photo of Anna with Nanaji is presented by a local newspaper and not some big news source so it cannot be believed blindly. Moreover even if we believe the report of news paper then we will realize  Anna was with Deshmuk in order to gain experience about rural development from Deshmukh(who was Padmavibhushan winner and had an infinite experience in this field )

Q3 Why Anna rejects all the bills by government?
Ans. All the lokpals by government are rejected not only by team Anna but also by many other democrats and activist(even those who are against Anna) including Aruna Roy saying that Government lokpals are more impractical.

Q4 Why Anna  dictates parliament ?
Ans. Lokpal is rusting in the drawers of parliament from the last 4 decades and no party passed the bill.
Moreover Parliament is full of corrupt MP's which will get destroyed if lokpal is passed (presence of such MP's is indicated by Cash for vote as an example)   hence parliment and government is not presenting a healthy or even good lokpal.There are many MP's and incidents which erased our faith towards parliment.  After all this Image of parliment and government is not made by Team Anna , its a self made image! 

Q5.Can Anna be believed?
Ans. Anna Hazera is not a new activist that we must not believe him
He is believed by country for decades for his many other acts

•  Anti-corruption protests in Maharashtra (against Bjp and shiv sena)
•  Right to Information movement
•  Removal of untouchability
• Education
• Regulation of Transfers and Prevention of Delay in Discharge of Official Duties Act
