Civil society members can only give suggestions: Cong

Just ponder and feel that civil society members first choice women reservation bill has not seen the light.Land acquisition Act keeps the farmers in tenterhooks, corruptions laws fail to deliver,delivery mechanism of the government unable to bring desired results,nexus of various group gather easy money from the system and away from the system in their own convenience state.Corruption is not raised for the first time but has been the issue since 1975 by JP and 1985 Chandrasekhar- Janata Dal and by Congress in 2003-2004 but robust growth of corrupt people and officials give golden-shake hand. On a day when Anna Hazare sat on a fast protesting the crackdown on Ramdev's protest, Congress virtually declared redundancy of the Joint Committee to draft a strong Lokpal bill.Civil society members can only give suggestions: Congress is repeated many a times then the civil society members for definitely clash on their basic points and will raise hue and cry for not abiding to basics.

Party spokesperson Jayanti Natarajan on Wednesday said civil society representatives "could not be the alternate sources" for lawmaking including the key legislation.Political thinkers in their opinions say,But in democracy each civil society members has the rights to give his/her inputs as the government is always short of ground reality and holistic experiences.
Arun Jaitley thus has said in meeting at constitutions club that Congress leaders thinks to know much and behave in arrogance and is not in mood to listen even when they are in minority as the bill cannot be passed in Upper house if the opposition parties are not taken into confidence for their minority numerical.

Jayanti said further, "There is a constitutional scheme of things needed to be adhered to including taking the views of the Parliament while deciding on the legislation. Whatever they say could be suggestions for draft but it can't be the legislation. This is not a banana republic. We are working under the constitution of India," she said in New Delhi on Wednesday.Experts say to prove watchdog by civil society does not dilute the Constitution but strengthen.In the name of constitution adherence,government is unable to put off the corruption,unable to give accountability for public treasury money allocated,funds sent is not spent in proper way and bills pile up in lines for public welfare.

The Congress spokesperson side-stepped questions whether the Prime Minister should be under the proposed Lokpal bill, noting that the Constitution review committee under Justice M M Venkatachaliah had expressed itself against it.The remarks of Natarajan came a day after Hazare and other representatives of the civil society boycotted a scheduled meeting but made it clear that they would participate in future meetings.

Congress leader Pranab Mukherjee is the Chairman of the Committee and former Law Minister Shanti Bhushan is its co-chairman.Natarajan also tried to drive a wedge between Hazare and Ramdev, saying the Gandhian appears to be unaware of the call for armed rebellion given by the Yoga Guru.Natarajan dismissed as "unacceptable" Hazare's statement that what he was fighting the "second freedom struggle".
