2G and other scams
Dear sir,
Your pessimism is shared by any intelligent person of this country. The
real executive authority is in charge of making the laws .Obviously any
group which is in power in power will leave scope for malpractice in
framing the law. Any party which can hope to power will not really
contest it. There is no check on the scope for corruption at the draft
stage.After-the-event exercises cannot repair the loss to the people ,or
cause any material damage to those who profited at their expense.I am
sure no charge framed against the perpetrators will stand in the court
of law.They know that and hence their defiance- let the law take its
course-prove it and I will quit -etc. Since the Legislature has
encroached on Executive powers, the Executive should be armed with
enough authority to keep a check on the powers of legislature. This will
not happen as long as the President's election is heavily biased in
favour of party strength in the Lok Sabha. If it can be weighted
with the votes polled by the parties in some way , or better still, if
the president is also directly elected , there is scope for independent
presidential review.Will any party seriously consider it ? What scares
and appalls us all , is the helplessness this country is reduced to by
politicians of all hues.
With warm regards,
