The article describes the various salient features of Jan lokpal bill of Anna Hazare. It also states the corruption in India and the need for anti-corruption laws.It also tells the news and updates on the lokpal bill and how the Jan lokpal bill differs from the government lokpal bill.
Why is there a need for anti-corruption laws?
All of us are aware of the fact that the country, whom we love so much has been in the clutches and the diabolical jaws of the virus, called corruption. Corruption in India is the main cause of its every failure. Every developmental project and the defense requirements are being overshadowed by the corrupt officials. Even the very magistrates who are believed to be the axis of the law are corrupted to such an extent that millions of cases are pending for the last few days.
I have listed some of the areas where India heads in the field of corruption:
• Medicines and health care: In many of the hospitals, the doctors and the nurses who are accorded a place next to God play with the health and the life of the patients by supplying them fake medicines and drugs. There are various cases in which the important and vital organs like the kidney, liver, cornea of the eye are extracted from the patient's body even before his death and that also, without proper permit from the law or the family members.
• Black money: India currently ranks first in the amount of black money with an overwhelming sum of US$1450 in the Swiss bank. Some days ago, there was a news that stated that the former minister of Haryana has spent 250 crore of rupees in the marriage of his daughter. The total amount of black money in Indian economy exceeds the total combined black money of the world. This black money comes from evading taxes, embezzlement of stocks and accounting information, bribes etc.
• Scams after scams: Everyday, in the news we get to hear about various scams in India in different sectors of our economy, be it the Satyam company
