What about honesty among people?
Even as the Jan Lokpal Bill is being pursued to be adopted by the nation, there is need for the common man to adopt probity in life. People should stop giving bribes and also influencing people in other ways. This will choke the corrupt system.
DRAFT OF the Lokpal Bill in its present form cannot prevent common people themselves who presently take it a status symbol to ‘tip’ at private establishments such as hotels, and restaurants, etc. Likewise, gifts at festivals like Diwali or giving gifts at private functions like in marriages are at times a sort of bribe. Presently, Diwali gifts have remained a tool to bribe rather than exchanging pleasantries with babus openly asking for their Diwali gifts! Government should at least impose a complete ban on giving/taking gifts by government employees. Likewise, an effective culture through legislation should be introduced whereby the unholy system of giving gifts in private functions like marriages, etc., may be rooted out. The Lokpal Bill will be effective only if the people in their personal life also adopt probity and ensure that they neither give bribes nor try to influence people in any other way. It is only after the supply side of bribery system is choked that the evil of bribery will come to an end.
