ABCD of Indian Politics

The ABCD of Indian politics...
  • Avoid (initially)
  • Bypass (on pressure)
  • Confuse (on extreme pressure)
  • Do it (when there is no option left)
Today while interacting with the media at Delhi, Mr Kapil Sibbal and Mr P Chidambaram followed the ABCD of Indian Politics in true letter and spirit. They said that the government of India wants to generate a common consensus of the proposed LOKPAL BILL.
Whether to bring the office of PM and the Judiciary in the ambit of LOKPAL can not be decided by the committee alone. They need to have a feedback from all quarters of the power.
Bottom Line... They are seeking the opinion of a would be criminal that if you commit a crime in future, should I be investigating you or not?
Larger issue..... India had enough of politicians and many more lawyers and now politicians. What we lack are leaders and statesmen in this country. People who can rise above personal gains and think only about national interest.
On the issue of LOKPAL... Politicians have forgotten that India is not a Monarchy or a Colony.
Every institution is accountable to citizens and no one can claim clemency in a democracy.
