Cynic Speaks

Atlast government bowed to Team Anna's conditions and passed lokpal bill that Team Anna had wanted. Anna's Fast unto death which media hyped as Second freedom struggle of India comes to an end. All the TV news channels gave almost 12-14hours live coverage of so called Second Freedom struggle for last 14days. Any one thought why? In a country where  people think about own profit more than anything else and news channels, being corporate houses, have profit as their main motive than why would they give 13-14hr coverage to just one thing and ignore everything else? If your answer is that Anna was doing something good for country and media has got some morals than I would say Don't gimme that Shit. There are many activists who have raised voice against many  problems including corruption and lokpal and yet they haven't seen limelight in their whole life than why all of sudden media made Anna Hazare, a person whom 98% Indians didnt even know 6months back, second Gandhi?

Caution : I deeply respect Arvind Kejrival, Kiran Bedi, Prashant Bhushan, Shanti Bhushan, Manish Sisodiya and all other who are associated with this movement

After repetitive question about "how to remove lokpal?", "What if lokpal get corrupted?" etc... ,
Arvind Kejrival made statement that they will take up Right to Recall Lokpal as their next agenda but my question is why did not they include Right to Recall Lokpal in the bill that they drafted?

The lokpal bill draft of civil society keeps NGOs out of purview of Lokpal. Why?

Trivia: The NGO run by Arvind Kejrival and Manish Sisodiya got lots of funding from MNCs(mostly non-Indian) for this movement 

So far whatever I have written might look very much obscure and misplaced but think about this this scenario :
Reliance wants to open new Reliance fresh in some area.
Reliance contacts a negotiator who then goes to collector for permission, collector asks for 2L Rs. Negotiator tells Reliance that Collector is asking for 2.5L Rs. Reliance believes negotiator and Money is Paid. Next negotiator goes to MP, who asks for 5L and same happens and money is paid.
Now, Suppose Tesco wants to open a mall.
Tesco contacts lobbyist to help them. Lobbyist goes to same collector, now collector knows this is foreign party so he asks for 5L. Lobbyist tells Tesco that collector is asking for 20L. Tesco believes lobbyist and money is paid and same for MP.   and this will happen for every mall that Tesco will open in India
Now, We have lokpal.
So what Tesco will do is they will contact lokpal committee. Now they have just 10people to bribe. So they ll say I will give you all 1Cr but make sure my malls get no problem and now if some collector asks for 5L instead of 2L or some honest collector opposes illegal activities of Tesco than lokpal will come and frighten him to suspend or imprison him. So all the lobbyists will be removed and collectors',MPs'  price will be fixed and will be enforced to do what Lokpal wants.
So question arises , Who will guard the Guard?
which means how to remove lokpal if he gets corrupted? According to bill, that has been passed, any citizen can file a complain against Lokpal in supreme court. But A country where supreme court judges themeselves are  corrupted (I hope you have not forgotten languished proceeding of Hawala kand, harshad mehta scam, 2g Scam, Commonwealth scam and so on) how can you expect justice?
So what we need is right to remove lokpan in hand of ordinary citizen which is Right to Recall Lokpal.
But, if that comes than what will happen to plans of those MNCs ???? and we all know that News Channels run on the advertising money paid by all the MNCs, so you can very well guess vested interest.

I firmly believe Arcind Kejrival and whole team is totally honest and patriotic but I also believe that they are very much shrewd people. They knew lots of money will be needed for protest large scale and they wont be able to get large sum of money unless every one sees own benefit in the bill they are proposing .

Think Cynic;)

Independence Day! What Next ??

My mobile watch showed 00:01PM, the day has changed and it was 15th August. I was sitting on the sofa and thinking what to do after turning off television and I saw lifeless "Times Life" lying beside me and the first line I read was "We have only got the freedom to breathe. We can’t talk, we can’t demand. It is a very selective democracy" and I thought how true it is?
Today when government is facing so many scams, question of corruption, black money, nepotism, biased behavior and what we are doing? or what government is doing when we try to demand something?
Government proclaimed Anna Hazare to be "TOTALLY CORRUPT FROM HEAD TO TOE"(?), they kicked away Baba Ramdev and now Baba Ramdev is forgotten name. When BJP decided to attack it, government suddenly opened Karnatak Lokayukta Report" genie but BJP didn't take backseat and took some brave step( sacking CM Yeddyurappa) so government took hasty decision of jumping in the gujarat politics and backing IPS officers who has been suspended recently by Gujarat government and projected it as an injustice but no one even tried to know why he has been suspended. He has been suspended for not reporting on the job got 10month and as media says what government wants it to say, it also hyped the scene.
Today, Anna Hazare Team has been finally denied the permission for the venue for the fast and more over delhi police imposed section #144. And still government is defending itself and justifying the action.
I just wonder what kind of government is this?
Which tried to procrastinate preceding of 2G Scam, Adarsh Building Scam, Commonwealth Scam and many more and now when few aware citizens of country wants government to take precautions that similar scams don't happen, government is saying "We can't do what you want, we will do what we desire".
They labeled Anna and team with "Anarchists, Black mailers, hypocrites" etc but my simple question to government  is Why these people had to come and protest? Doesnt is show lack proper management? lack of law or lack of willingness to provide justice? and when someone tries to tell you what you are suppose to do you just try whatever you can to shut them up.

I firmly believe this is just a starting of the big dirty game that will unfold it tomorrow(oops day changed "today"). or as Srivatsa Krishna just tweeted it will be "Rebirth of emergency of 1975, 36 yrs later"
what we can do it just speculate and do what is right for our country or atleast help those are trying to do what is right for the country.
