[rti4empowerment] Re: [Janshakti] Whatever Om Puri said was true for the politicians like Lalu Prasad, Sharad Yadav

 

Here is a mail I had sent to the speaker of the LS:

subject    The Om Puri-Kiran Bedi controversy
   
It is being reported that Om Puri and Kiran Bedi are being hauled up by the Parliament for breach of its privilege. This once again only goes to prove how correct Om Puri and Kiran Bedi are and how ignorant and arrogant our MPs are. Statistics are available that more than 25 pc of our MPs have criminal cases pending against them, including for some of the most gruesome crimes like rape, murder etc. And it is not these MPs only whom we have seen hurling chappals and mikes in the 'hallowed' precincts of the houses. Add their numbers and the share of these kind of uncouth elements in Parliament will well be over 50 pc. At this juncture one also need to ask what action has been taken against Sonia for calling Narendra Modi 'maut ka saudagar'? Or was it a compliment that was paid by her? And was it parliamentary when her husband Rajiv, when he was the PM himself, yelled at a public meeting words like 'naani yaad dilaayega'?

Let our parliamentarians get this straight- what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander too. In fact our post independence history itself is evidence of how our representatives in the law making bodies have been mostly indulging in self aggrandisment and criminally neglecting their duties. The mass movement under the banner of India against Corruption has only highlighted how even after 65 years of so called independence nothing that has been promised through a written Constitution has been fulfilled.

It also needs to be asked why the only qualification prescribed to be an MP or MLA is the person's capability to mobilise the money required for the security deposit? And why should a democracy have an unelected PM? In fact, since politics itself has become a career option, why should not the career begin at the lowest level of representation- that is the Gram Panchayat/Municipality or Corporation? And gradually move up?

Now here are a few quotes for the occasion:

-- "When bad men combine, good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle". -Edmund Burke

"So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannise them will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious or otherwise, to put shackles on sleeping men."-Voltaire

Cowardice asks...."Is it safe?", Expedience asks "Is it politic?", Vanity asks...."Is it popular?"... There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right- Martin Luther King, Jr

The politicians like Lalu and Sharad Yadav do not have sense how to talk in parliament and I wonder why the respected MPs encourage the persons like Lalu and Shard yadav. They divide the country on the basis of caste/ community/religion. 
Lalu said that Ex-MPs should be kept out of Lokpal. Why??  Do they have right to enjoy corruption in whole life? I wonder why applause observed in parliament during the speech of Shard Yadav and Lalu Yadav. Actually these politicians do not have any shame on their behaviours.
We must congratulate and appreciate the role of media and police in this agitation.
