MAGIC WAND: TO END CORRUPTION:

Does our PM need a magic wand; jaadu ki chadi to end the corruption? Magic wand is not required; it is the political will that is needed. Corruption can be arrested, eradicated and almost finished in no time or within a very short time if the Govt really wants. How?

Beating around the bush will not serve the cause. Kill the snake.

1. Call all the MPs in the parliament; ask them as to “who” supports corruption? I am sure there wouldn’t be any to dare support corruption openly in parliament.
2. Ask them that seeing the gravity of the menace and the mood of the people, the punishment for corruption be made punishable with death or/and life imprisonment and confiscation of the ill gotten money/assets. If they have genuine desire to end corruption, they should accept.
3. They may agree or disagree; that would be parliamentary mandate. This should not take more than 48 hours. After that follow the procedures whatever they may be in accordance with the mandate and make rules.
4. We are living in the age of advanced technology. Put these parliamentary proceedings on TV. Be transparent to the public so that there is no ambiguity and confusion in the mind of anybody as to what is said by whom and how. Let the public know who wants what; face to face.

If the elected representatives of the public are honest and really want to fulfill the mandate of the people thus accepted by them in parliament, they should agree to it. Get it passed, make laws and implement it in a fixed time frame. Give quick justice. See how many would dare to practice corruption at the cost of their life.

PM does not need magic wand; he needs “Danda” and the ability to wield it honestly for the right cause. Strong laws to stop this menace and other heinous crimes are needed if we want a clean society. PM and his party/government have the power to make strong laws; wield this Danda if he does not have a magic wand. THERE IS NO OTHER CURE TO GET RID OF CORRUPTION AND OTHER HENIOUS CRIMES.
