One can draw some parallels to the present wide spread public support to the Anna Hazare’s anti-corruption movement under the slogan of “Corruption Hatavo” (Eradicate corruption) to the 1970’s Indira Gandhi’s slogan “Garibi Hatavo” (Eradicate Poverty) that gave her the massive public support and the great political power.
In this connection, parallel between the Jan Lokpal Bill and the Nationalization of the public sector Banks Bill and its legislation in the 1970’s, cannot be ignored.
The Jan Lokpal legislation if given all the power it needs can become draconian and may lead to “Emergency” Law like situation. Therefore all of us at present supporting the anti corruption movement led by Anna Hazare and team should see to it that the same mistakes does not happen.
