Bathinda, 06.04.2010:

Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal, BJP Kissan Morcha, National Secretary and Vice Chairman PSIEC called the Lokpal Bill drafted by the Congress led UPA Government as “Bhrasht Bachav Bill”. Speaking at the raising day of Bharatiya Janta Party at Village Ballianwali, Bathinda, Grewal stated that the Draft Lokpal Bill clearly vindicates that Congress Party is not only pro-Corrupts but also neck deep in Corruption and the above Bill clearly demonstrates that Congress Party wants anything but bringing scammers to book.

Grewal stated that in the real sense the Lokpal Bill shall empower people of the country to file complaints against corrupt irrespective of their position whereas Congress led UPA Government have not only restricted Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha Members to file complaints with the Lokpal but also kept Prime Minister out of the purview of the said Bill.

Grewal added that bureaucrats are agents of corruption and not even a single scam can ever happen without their connivance and Congress led UPA Government have left no stone unturned to save the skins of their beloved babus who help them in tweaking rules and discretionary powers to facilitate corruption.

He further stated that poor Lokpal have been given the role of a clerk who could only receive complaints from the Member of Parliament and report it to the competent authority. Lokpal cannot initiate investigations, prosecute those indicted and have no powers to lodge complaints with the Police. In the real sense, Lokpal shall have powers to prosecute politicians, officials and even judges. Investigations shall get completed within 1 year and trial shall be completed within 1 year. Futher, Losses shall be recovered from the convicts.

Grewal aggrieved that this Bill is a mere eyewash and had been drafted with an intent to cover up 2G, Antrix, Adarsh, Lalli, CWG Scams and loosen the noose around the corrupt. Grewal added that Bharatiya Janta Party will take this fight with in the Parliament and if need be to the streets to ensure that Lokpal Bill indeed is a Lokpal Bill and not a “Brasht Bachav Bill”
