Mayawati demands CBI to be brought under Lokpal ambit

Mayawati said her Bahujan Samaj Party would not support the legislation if CBI is not brought under its ambit.

Claiming that the Centre was not paying heed to her suggestions on the Lokpal Bill, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati today said her Bahujan Samaj Party would not support the legislation if CBI is not brought under its ambit.

"It appears from media reports that union government has not paid heed to the suggestions put forward earlier for a strong and effective Lokpal bill in which there was a special thrust on bringing the CBI under its ambit," Mayawati said.

"In case CBI is not included in the Lokpal Bill, BSP would not support it," she said in a release here adding that her party had made the demand for its inclusion as it had been seen time and again that the central government had been misusing the premier investigating agency for its political gains and BSP and its government had been a victim of this.

"The demand for CBI's inclusion had been made in order to check its misuse," she asserted.

The chief minister regretted that the copy of the draft bill has not been made available to members of her party and said that same appeared to be the case with members of other parties also.

Mayawati recalled that she had also demanded bringing the prime minister, group C and D employees of the central government under the Lokpal along with the CBI.

Besides this, she had also demanded proper representation to members of SC\STs and OBCs, who had been victims of casteist mentality since long in keeping with the sentiments of Baba Saheb Ambedkar in all decision taking position, she said adding that representation to all religions should also be given.

Mayawati said that these sections should also be given representation in the final committee which would be drafting the final bill.

Stressing on the need for an effective Lokpal bill, she said that it was necessary for checking rampant corruption in the country.

Corruption is the root of criminalisation in politics and so in order to control both a strong Lokpal was required, she added.

Hi Everyone !!! Winston Churchill once said "when ever we leave India, It would be ruled by the goons" and looking at present condition of the country and deeds of the political class. The statement is proved true even after 67 years after gaining independence. When an officer halts illegal activity then the ruling class dismisses the officer and dictates to ruling party that if they say anything against the decision then the support of their MP's in Parliament would be taken back. Every person in power rules their people rather then administering efficiently for their upliftment. PreIndependence era was 100 times better wrto law and order, implementation of laws and another merit about British era was that we were much better placed in transport sector in pre independence era, train journey from Ambala cantt to Amritsar took 4 hrs then and it still takes 4 hrs in superfast class of trains....isn't it shameful. In India a major portion of the votes which are given is often purchased by the candidates(who have deep pockets filled with money which they gulped in their last term). Majority of the people put votes by keeping their castes in mind and making as goon win elections(from their own cast), rather then choosing a candidate with clean image. Some percentage of Indian voters are really really foolish(according to me) as we can clearly see around 30 percent of criminals representing people, These criminals would never ever be convicted because as they say "supremacy of parliament should be maintained" and they are above the law. This bloody notion that Parliament is above all other institutions(even the constitution) is helping in shielding the criminals/corrupt people who have reached there by hook/crook and muscle power. The whole bloody system is corrupt, people are sleeping, Political class is doing nothing for country as various initiatives which were good for country like "Hum do hamare do" for controlling population is no more advertised and is informally taken back by the government with the sole reason being that if population is controlled and people start studying till the level when they can understand things good for country then they would root out the present political class, So why hit your own feet with axe. When Politicians follow approach of "Divide and Rule" over people rather then unite them together for the country, Looks like the political class have put country up for sale, everything can be purchased here votes, goons, riots, disharmony, and we are thaught that britishers played "Divide and Rule". I still think that if Britain didn't go bankrupt after second world war then they would have administered us for a longer duration and we would have been technologically ahead by atleast ten years as of now. I still firmly believe this country needs a revolution against corrupt political class, so that we can maintain the rich history we possesed, rather then saying britishers took it all away, whereas actually it's the political class which is taking it all away from the country and selling the country to foreign hands. I somwtimes wonder about why in USA the party which wins the election and forms government is termed as 'Administration' whereas in India we are 'ruled' by the politicians which we elect. God save this country because if some offcial wants to do right he/she is transferred/suspended (for example Ashok Khemka and Durga nagpal), there would be many others which the media class is not paid for to highlight. GOD SAVE THIS COUNTRY from going to the gallows!! JAI HIND!!
