Neither any politician nor any political party can survive and thrive without the convenience of corruption. Therefore corruption will always remain an integral part of all political system. If this was not so, the Jan Lok Pal would have been instituted way back 40 years, when it was first mooted. The fight & squabble over Jan Lok Pal bill that we are witnessing today is a political gimmickry. It is helping to keep the masses and the political parties engage in warring for wearing out time ,energy & attention from crucial economical and political upheavals that remains eroded for want of parliamentary focus and debate.
My intent is neither to discredit Anna Hazare nor direspect his war for JAN LOK PAL. My intent is to opine my views on this. To my mind it looks that if and when the JAN LOK PAL will take shape it will become a maze of complicated govt manual with clauses, annexures that can support interpretations which can help the clever heads & seeking minds to manage corruption more lucratively.
In today's fast track and demanding environs no one can afford to remain a paragon of virtues and that goes for Team Anna too. Let us not therefore get carried away by agendas and manifestos of political movements sporting people mask.
We very recently saw at Jantar Mantar all the opposition political parties sharing the stage with Anna Hazare. No it was not to demonstrate a call of unity to weed out corruption. It was simply a political compulsion and desperation of opposition parties to hitch their wagon to STAR ANNA.
Today no political party be it UPA or NDA can draw as much crowd as Anna Hazare can pull. Therefore Anna is bound to become strength,weakness, opportunity as well threat(SWOT) to all our political parties.
