Does it not mean the PM and PMO is failing its duty? Is it intentional or procedural? To me it looks more intentional.<br />Of late, we are seeing the Supreme court intervening and taking over a lot of the responsibilities of the executive branch. Is the Supreme court a democratic body? It is not. It is a constitutional body and it still is investigating all these scandals which may or may not end up with the PM/PMO. So what is wrong with entrusting Lokpal with that responsibility? That will take this load of work off of Supreme court's shoulders and will let it focus on cases.<br />With the intervention of supreme court, in all these cases that it took over, has the PM become defunct as you claim. Come on. Please open your eyes and see the ground realities. Support the cause to include every one on the Indian soil to come under Lokpal.<br />I am happy that the deeds of the government are making the case of the civil society stronger and stronger.<br />One fact every one forgets is that the constitution is not set on hard stone. It was created by the wise men with the knowledge, experience and belief they had 60 years ago. Unless the constitution evolves with the change in time, it is bound to end up being a piece of paper!!Siva Ramaswaminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5616987390846370732.post-18726377624893640172011-06-26T05:34:52.612+05:302011-06-26T05:34:52.612+05:30The current point of disagreement is the prosecuti...The current point of disagreement is the prosecution power of Lokpal proposed by the Civil Society. Let us look at other Constitutional bodies. For example CAG does not have prosecutive authority. It has investigative and reporting authority. Parliament is the final authority to act on its recommendations there by democracy is followed. Lokpal does need prosecutive powers and at the same time we need to make sure the principles of democracy are not violated. It may be provided with investigative and prosecutive powers for cases with every one except PM and CJI. It should still have investigative powers for cases with PM and CJI but it should report its findings to the parliament for further action there by abiding by the democratic principles. In case, its findings against the PM and CJI are true and for some reason Parliament is not willing to punish CJI or PM, then it should have the powers to appeal to the President of India and even to call for a public referendum in case the President does not take action.<br />We may have to make it more democratic and responsible but at the same time we should give enough freedom and powers to meet its responsibilities.<br />Special care should be taken by the Lokpal before admitting complaints against the PM and CJI so that their constitutional authority is not eroded as feared by some quarters. Lokpal bill should have clear directions to the Lokpal in admitting cases against the PM and CJI. BUT NEVER EVER THEY SHOULD BE OUT OF THE AMBITS OF LOKPAL.Siva Ramaswaminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5616987390846370732.post-18407455341142042542011-06-26T05:22:48.667+05:302011-06-26T05:22:48.667+05:30Where is our beloved T.N.Seshan?
