Understanding Jan Lokpal Bill
• In India, the Jan Lokpal Bill is a draft anti-corruption bill that would create an independent body
• It would have the power to prosecute bureaucrats• The bill was drafted by former IPS officer, Kiran Bedi, Shanti Bhushan,
Justice N. Santosh Hedge, Advocate Prashant Bhushan and former chief election commisioner J.M. Lyngdoh
• The first Lokpal Bill was passed in 1969 but failed to get through Rajya Sabha for coming 42 years
Draft Lokpal Bill 2010
Draft Lokpal Bill 2010 was created under the ruling Congress Party
Varying Opinions about Jan Lokpal Bill!
Favorable Public OpinionsAnd
My Opinion
“Hazzare represents millions of people in this country whose patience with the current corrupt regime is reaching its limit”,
“It is time politicians responded to Anna Hazare's demands”,
“Every Indian should come out and support the cause for which Anna Hazare risks death. If we do not rise now to face the
moment of truth, we never will”, :
Unfavorable Public Opinion
“The movement behind the Jan Lokpal Bill is crossing the lines of reasonableness. It is premised on an institutional imagination
that is at best naïve”, Pratap Mehta, political analyst
“The seeds of authoritarianism”, Neera Chandhoke, Indian Express Group
“The Jan Lokpal Bill: Good intentions and the road to hell”, Amba Salelkar, Practicing Lawyer
Keeping the features of proposed Jan Lokpal Bill in mind, can we really “ensure” the continuation of anti-corruption machinery?
Can we “ensure” honest officials for keeping the committee clean and genuinely helping common man?
What is India’s future with the Jan Lokpal Bill?
Thank You!
