To,
Honorable,
Shri. Manmohan Singh ji,
Prime Minister,
Government of India.
Sub: - With reference to the letter received on 25 th November, sent
by your office on 28 th October………..
Dear Sir,
I received a letter of Shri. V. Narayanasamy, sent by your office. I
felt disheartened to read the letter. I am writing to you since last two years
regarding passing of the Janlokpal Bill. Neither you nor your government has
taken any constructive steps to bring the Janlokpal bill. For last two years,
the citizens of India are being fooled in this regard. You have mentioned in
your letter that, the selected committee of Rajya Sabha, after reviewing the
recommendations of Lokpal & Lokaayukta Bill, the Central Government had
directed the Rajya Sabha Secretariat to put forth the Bill in Rajya Sabha for
further recommendations.
It was decided to pass the Bill in the Budget Session
of the Rajya Sabha. But the Bill was not tabled in this Session. You have not
mentioned any specific reason for this, in your letter. The Selected Committee
of Rajya Sabha had sent its report on 23 rd. November 2012. After receiving
this report on 23 rd. November 2012, this Bill was expected to be discussed in
the Budget Session of Rajya Sabha, but unfortunately this did not happen.
The Bill was not discussed in the Monsoon Session too,
without any reason. You had assured in your letter that the Bill would be
passed in the Monsoon Session, but the Bill was not discussed. It’s a rare
possibility that the Janlokpal & Lokaayukta Bills would be discussed in the
Winter Session either. You & your party members are every now & then
give assurances to the citizens, that they are committed to bring a strong
Lokpal to eradicate the corruption from India. But unfortunately, this is not
happening in reality.
You all are promising the countrymen for your
commitment to bring the Janlokpal Bill, but for past two years it is not
passed. The selected committee of Rajya Sabha had submitted its report on 23 rd.
November 2012. Only discussion was remaining to be done in the Rajya Sabha, but
for last two years it was not done, this is beyond my understanding. You have
mentioned there are two colors for this Bill, one supporting & other
opposing.
After having these two colors in your government too,
you all have succeeded in passing the Bills like, Land Acquisition Bill, Food
Security Bill, Pension Bill, Bill to allow the members to contest election from
jail, Presidents election etc. Rajya Sabha has highest members of your party.
The Selected Committee of Rajya Sabha is headed by your party. It’s not
impossible at all to pass the Bill, if you all had a will to do so; hereby you
are continuously fooling the citizens of India.
You also have mentioned this Bill is of national importance
& therefore it is essential that it be discussed in the house in a
Democratic way, before passing the Bill. This Bill was passed in the Loksabha,
with consent, in a single day. In the Rajya Sabha Selected Committee has been
established for this, which had submitted its report on 30 th. November. It
gets stuck at this place, which replicates a question mark on willpower of the
government. Only the discussion is remaining in Rajya Sabha, for this, period
of one year has passed; it clearly indicates lack of willpower on governments’
part.
In every letter you insist that, the government is
continuously making efforts to pass the Lokpal & Lokaayukta Bills as soon
as possible. These assurances have completed a year, but so far Lokpal &
Lokaayukta Bills are not passed. I had written to you earlier that, you are
fooling us continuously regarding the Janlokpal Bill, therefore I would show
protest on the Ramleela Maidan on the very first day of the Winter Session.
I have gone through an operation recently. My health
is not sound; the Doctors have strictly advised me not to travel. So I would
begin my protest from some other place. I would write to you in my next letter
regarding the place.
Yours,
K. B. Alias Anna Hazare.
