    Government does not want strong Lokpal, says BJP

    By Indo Asian News Service | IANS India Private Limited – Mon 26 Dec, 2011

    New Delhi, Dec 26 (IANS) A day before parliament debates the Lokpal bill, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Monday accused the ruling Congress of not wanting a strong anti-graft law.

    'The government takes two steps forward and four steps backwards, it does not want a strong Lokpal,' BJP spokesperson Syed Shahnawaz Hussain said.

    'Their intentions are wrong, they don't want a strong and empowered Lokpal because there is dishonesty in both policy and intention of the Congress,' Hussain said.

    'They are afraid that the kind of policies they have...after a strong Lokpal comes, they will not be able to continue with it,' he added.

    Another party leader, Balbir Punj said: 'Government has tried to treat the institution of Lokpal as a kind of employment agency, giving reservation on the basis of caste and religion.'

    He added that the Lokpal will be a 'toothless tiger' without an independent investigative agency.

    'I don't know whether on this issue the government will have numbers in their favour, particularly in the Rajya Sabha,' he added.

      this is for the people to decide - evrything is unfolding before their eyes - not to be decided by a party which twice lost the elections and still claim to know everything.

      It took lots of time for the BJP's most useless old power hungry junk Advani and another useless and opportunist Shoeshama Swaraj to understand what is known to most Indians!

      I give a Damm to corrupt congress............I know they r fools...........

      I will be there in MMRDA ground everyday for this struggle to free India to most extent from corruption of corrupt babus and netas who have looted, exploited and corrupted us since last 63 years.
      I have taken 3 days leave ............I am young ans my country needs me ...........may be i have to go to jail ..............and I wll go happily.................Not only me but my entire family.

      If Supreme court with all its limitation is doing what Lok pal is doing then why do they oppose Lok pal?

      How can Supreme court deal with all the corruption cases by directing CBI ?

      is it there job ? No...........

      So we need Lok pal............

      We have 1000 laws and 100 agencies to prosecute and jail us for common man but none for these corrupt Babus and Netas.

      Our supreme court is doing what Lok Pal has to do. can we not see that SUPREME IS DOING WAT LOK PAL HAS TO DO ?

      We can see this by how Supreme made sure that Raja and Kalmadi go to jail or else this corrupt congress was enjoying the loot for last 6 years.

      So we need a strong Lok Pal Bill for these corrupt Babus and Netas who have force us for corruption.Our parents have suffered a lot coz of the corrupt system that this corrupt congress build from 1947 to 1996 wen they were in power with full majority.

      If Govt. does not want to bring a strong lokpal bill, the BJP can bring amendments to the bill in Parliament and force the Govt to strengthen the bill as per the wishes of the people of this country. In fact BJP does a lip service and does not like a strong lokpal. In Gujrat which is ruled by BJP,the post of lokayukta was lying vacant for more than six years,when on the directions of Gujrat High Court,the Governor appointed a lokayukta,the BJP made a lot of hue and cry. Is not a double standard ?
