Dear Citizens, pls support Annaji’s Janlokpal with Right to
Recall (corrupt) Lokpal clauses
1. What is Janlokpal ? And why is Right to Recall Lokpal must?
Janlokpal bill is law proposed by Anna Hazare ji. The draft is about 40 pages long and is given at
https://www.lokpalbillconsultation.org/docs/lokpalbill2_2.pdf
The bill will create a Selection Committee (see section-6) consisting of PM, opposition leader, two
Supreme judges, two high court judges and 2-4 more dignitaries. This Selection Committee will form a
Search Committee. This Search Committee will select about 33 persons whom they think are of high
integrity. Then the Selection Committee will select 11 of them. These 11 Lokpals will have powers to
investigate, arrest any Central Govt office, MP, Minister, High Court Justice, Supreme Court Justice etc and
prosecute him for corruption. Thus corruption will end. But what if Lokpals become corrupt? That’s why
we must support Annaji’s Janlokpal with Right to Recall (corrupt) Lokpal clauses.
What is this Right to Recall? Well, consider that you have a factory with 100 laborers. Say Govt
makes a law that you cant expel any worker for next 5 to 10 years. Then will level of indiscipline increase or
decrease or remain same? Obviously, it will increase. Unbounded job security can deteriorate any system.
Same way, we the people of India are indirectly appointing 11 Lokpals and if we cant expel them or even one
of them, then they too like most Supreme Court justices, most High Court justices, Ministers, IAS, IPS etc
can become nepotic or corrupt or both. And the Right to Recall Lokpal clauses will enable citizens to expel
one or more Lokpals. Annaji has been misguided to believe that latest Janlokpal draft has Right to Recall
Lokpal clauses. So we should all inform Annaji that it is still not the case, and we must request him to add
Right to Recall Lokpal clauses in the final Jan Lokpal draft.
In fact Jan Lokpal without Right to Recall corrupt Lokpals can boomerang. How? The MNCs and
super-corporates etc will have easy way to rule over India. How? They need to bribe only 11 Lokpals and
from that they can control all Ministers, IAS, judges. Today MNCs and super-corporates have to bribe some
15-20 IAS, IPS, judges, MLAs, MPs, Ministers per district i.e. about 14000 IAS, IPS, Ministers, judges all
over India. If we create Lokpal with no Right to Recall Lokpal, then it is nothing but giving India to MNCs
and super-corporates on silver platter. Whereas Lokpal with Right to Recall Lokpal clauses is a true genuine
law against corruption.
2. More on Right to Recall
Why is corruption in US policemen low (except in drugs related cases)? The one and only one reason
why corruption in US police is low is because citizens in US have procedure to expel District Police
Commissioner of their district. So Police Commissioner in US takes very less bribes and also ensures that
his staff doesn’t take much bribes. If Police Commissioner in US comes to know that his junior staff is taking
bribes, he will immediately run a sting operation, gather evidences and gets them expelled. Because he fears
that if corruption in junior staff increases, the citizens may expel him. The corruption in US police in drugs
related cases is because most citizens in US do not have much aversion against drugs. But since in India,
citizens have NO procedure to expel Police Chief, the Chief not only collects bribes, he asks his juniors to
collect maximal bribes.
Same way some 95% court judgments in US come within 3-6 months? Why? Because citizens in US
have procedures to expel i.e. Right to Recall High Court judges, Lower Court judges, Public Prosecutors etc.
Same way corruption in US’s education is less because citizens have Right to Recall District Education
Officer. And so education in US’s Govt schools is far better than education in India’s Govt schools.
Now lets focus on Jan Lokpal. We need Jan Lokpal to reduce corruption. But if there is no Right to
Recall Lokpal, then Lokpal too will get corrupt. So pls support Annaji’s Lokpal with Right to Recall Lokpal
clauses. For details of exact clauses that can create Right to Recall Lokpal procedure, pls see
