Jan Lokpal Bill

Email sent on 15-Apr-2011
Dear PM,

We should not rush to pass a half baked Jan Lokpal bill. It should be intensely debated by general public, civil society and media. I have following proposals.
  1. Entire proceedings should be telecast live or recorded for greater transparency. Video of the proceedings should be uploaded in the site of ministry of law or YouTube so that people can watch it after office hours.
  2. Government should form a 50 member review committee consisting of celebrities from all over India from all sections of the civil society. They will review each line of the draft Jan Lokpal bill prepared by representatives of government and Anna Hazare's team.
  3. Government should create a site where people can give their feedback. Drafting panel must ensure that they read each and every feedback even if the number goes up to 50,000+. Any feedback rejected by the panel must be given a reason for rejection. If a feedback is accepted partially or wholly, a reference of the section of the Jan Lokpal bill should be given.
  4. Drafting panel must provide a clear guideline on how to deal with perceived corrupt people like Karunanidhi, Jayalalitha, Lalu, Mayawati, Pawar and many others. The very objective of this bill is to send corrupt people in Jail in two years.
