A
Tale of Two Countries
China
Ø Bo
Xilai was a member of Central Politburo of the Chinese Government ( equal to a
Central Cabinet Minister in India )
Ø He
was arrested a year back and tried for corruption / taking bribes / misusing
official position. Not granted bail ( unheard of in China )
Ø Trial
lasted 5 days – at the end of which , he was convicted , and punished for 20
years of con-current prison terms
Ø He
can appeal but in China , there is no precedence of a higher court setting
aside , an order of a lower court !
India
Ø Of
our 4500 MPs / MLAs , approx 1500 ( 30 % ) , have criminal cases pending
against them
Ø Of
these , some 600 have , “ Serious Criminal Cases “ ( murder / rape etc )
pending against them
Ø A
few hundred are already “ Convicted “ and have appealed in higher courts
Ø All
are out on bail and attending Lok Sabha / State Legislatures
Ø Our
Supreme Court considered this ( freedom ) as “ Unconstitutional / Illegal “ and
passed an order that MPs / MLAs , who have received punishments of 2 years or
more , cannot be granted bail ( even if they have appealed ) and must stay in
jail. Neither can they vote , nor contest an election
Ø Central
Government filed a “ Review Petition “ in Supreme Court , which refused to
change its earlier ruling
Ø So
, as expected , Central Government decided to bring out an Ordinance to nullify
Supreme Court verdict !
What
Next ?
Ø Within
2 months , Ordinance must be converted into a proper law , by passing it in Lok
Sabha
Ø Since
ALL parties have “ Criminal “ MPs / MLAs , you bet , the law will
be passed unanimously !
Voters
of India
The only
political party which is not a party to this heinous conspiracy against
Democracy and therefore against the People of India , is the Aam Admi Party (
not having a single MP / MLA so far ? )
Let us vote
it to power . That is the only way to test their promise of a corruption-free
government
May be we
can still stop this rape of our Motherland !
