Politicians often talk of black money parked in Swiss
Banks but always fail in their exercise to bring back the same in our country
because they are not honest in their utterings.They made unprecedented hue and
cry before last general election on huge amount of black money parked in Swiss
Banks but politicians of all parties became almost silent after the declaration
of election result. What they say and what they mean to do is always different.
India is still rated rate as one of the top corrupt nations. It is worthwhile to
mention here that India is rated as one of the top ranking hunger inflicted
state of the world even though Indian leaders claim and feel proud of achieving
comparable GDP growth in the economy and said to be decoupled with global
recession or global financial meltdown.
Madhu Koda ex-CM of Jharkhand and his associates could
accumulate hundreds of crores of rupees through corrupt means because he knew
the power game and corrupt game being played in the country in all the states.
Koda is bird of the same feather and he is not new or his case is not an
isolated case of corruption in India. Latest story on extent of corruption in
CWG is well heard and read by Indians. In fact there is no dearth of cases of
large scale corruption, fraud, scam and cheating in our
country.
Rulers, leaders , CEO or head of any organization first
pull together all his flatters on whom he can blindly rely and throw away all
honest persons who can put hindrance in their task of earning or printing money.
In this way evil work of the ruler does not come to fore as long as one of the
corrupt officers raise ugly voice against the system not because of his sudden
thirst for patriotism but due to his puncture the effort of other corrupt person
who has been enjoying larger share of ill earned wealth.
As a matter of fact rulers of this country could not
stop corrupt practices in the system prevalent in our own country and cold not
stop formation of black money in the country and hence they could not and
cannot force foreign country to declare name of Indians who have parked money in
Swiss bank. Similarly when investing agencies like CBI, ED, Vigilance, IT
officials and other regulating agencies are themselves corrupt they cannot stop
spreading cancer of corruption in the Indian body system. And the most vital
point is that when rulers themselves are corrupt they cannot endanger their own
money parked in either Swiss Bank or in Indian financial and real estate sector.
It is rightly said by the great writer Munsi Prem
Chand.
"Jab Rakchak
hi Bhakchak Ban jaye to vinash nishchit Hai"
When almost every minister at Center and almost every
minister in each State government is indulged in making money through corrupt
means, when officers in general are involved in corrupt game played by
politicians and when all officers entrusted with the duty of stopping and
removing corruption from the system and finally unearthing ill earned money are
busy in making money through corrupt means who will make serious efforts to
unearth money held in Swiss Bank.
Persons or group of person who have kept their black
money in Swiss Bank are none other than politicians and government officers.
When top officers and top ministers are corrupt one cannot imagine of
businessmen and professionals abiding by Indian rules and following rule of
ethics. It is government officers and politicians who make survival of honest
service men, honest businessmen and professionals difficult and force them to
manufacture black money and share with corrupt officials to live peacefully.
Honesty has rather become curse for government servants as well as businessmen
and professionals.
Black money is not only in Swiss bank, it is parked in
banks in India too. Black money is concealed in form of gold, land and building,
apartment, big bazaars, farm houses, private professional colleges and in almost
all big houses. Black money is visible to all whose eye is not jaundiced with
the decease of black money. Nine out of ten multi storied residential building
and commercial complex in Metros and big towns are constructed by ill earned
black money only. It is open secret. As such it is not necessary to focus
attention on money parked in Swiss Bank and make politics out of it but is more
important to focus on black money parked in India and which is visible in India
itself.
It is necessary for almost all politician and officers
working in government and government departments to introspect and look into
their heart whether they are really honest. Politicians in general cannot afford
contesting and winning an election without the help of black money received from
businessmen and at the same time without the indirect support of controlling
officials none of the businessmen can imagine of tax evasion.
Without the support of corrupt officers, none of the
contractors in India can carry out their tendered allotted work. More than fifty
percent of value of contract work allotted by government to contractors is
consumed in distributing commissions to corrupt officers and politicians.
Ministers cannot even organize a rally without the financial support from local
corrupt officers, black money of rich businessmen and
professional.
I therefore feel that work of purification should start
from our own land, our own offices, our own banks, our own politics, and our own
administrative system. Politicians should stop playing foul game of putting
blame always on foreign agencies for every lapse on their part if they are
really interested to see India shining.
India must stop flattery culture because this flattery
culture is the root cause of all evils. None of government servants can dream of
good posting and timely promotion without indulging in flattery to big bosses
and powerful politicians. It is therefore necessary to make transfer, posting
and promotion fully transparent and remove all bottlenecks which gives scope of
whimsical decision in the matter of posting and promotions. It is the need of
the hour to punish those who are misusing their delegated powers and who promote
flattery culture by taking arbitrary decisions.
CBI, Vigilance department, Band, IT department, IB
,Anti corruption offices ,custom officials all such regulating agencies which
are established for prevention and elimination of corrupt practices should be
made more powerful and given sufficient man power to carry out their holy job.
Any officers found indulging in corrupt practice in such department should be
punished severely without any discrimination based on caste, community or
religion.
Political interference in administrative matters,
police action and judiciary must be stopped even if for this matter rules of the
land are needed to be altered, made more severe and non-discriminatory.
Delegation of power in few hands at any levels and in any offices gives scope
for corruption and hence the power must be diluted to the possible extent in
such a way that it does not cause delay in execution of plan and projects.
Officers who misuse power must be punished immediately.
And last but not the least, MLA and MP who rule the
country should not be elected by votes of illiterate and criminals but selected
from top IAS and IPS officers, toppers of colleges, reputed social reformers,
successful bankers, reputed honest businessmen and from persons of undisputed
character. System of garlanding and gifting top officials and political leaders
as also that of giving red carpet welcome to top officers must be stopped
immediately. Practice of spending crores of rupees in inaugural functions or in
felicitating top officials or ministers must be stopped forthwith through an
ordinance at least for one year to start with.
Judiciary should be provided adequate quality man power
so that pendency in court is made zero and justice is made available in shortest
span of time to all aggrieved Indian citizen. An environment has to be created
in the country where criminals of all nature have fear of action in their mind
and in their core of heart.
It is tragedy that in our country police actions in our
country is against good citizens and punitive action through court orders is
also possible against good citizens. Actual crime doers use judiciary to
perpetuate their reign of crime .If this fear of action is ensured at all levels
I am very much sure that black money from Swiss Bank or Indian Banks will
automatically come on the floor and people will be motivated to use the money
for constructive purposed rather than parking in foreign or Indian bank.
Honesty is the best policy has to be proved at ground
level. Merit and merit has to be respected in our country if we Indians really
want India to grow at grass root level.
GDP growth shown by ministers to International agencies
is not at all helpful and pleasant for majority of Indians who are unable to
even afford their normal livelihood and manage respectful
life.
It is worthwhile to mention here US President Mr. Obama
has taken many steps to reform US banking culture taking lessons from 2008
financial crisis. On the contrary our government is still unaware of growing
sickness in Indian banks only because we Indian know how to play with data, sink
and swim in the sea of data.
When USA, pioneer of reformation, liberalization,
privatization and globalization has started revisiting the policy of
outsourcing, policy of concentration of power in few hands, policy of complete
freedom to trade icons and policy of complete freedom to banking industry so
that more and more employment opportunities are generated for US citizens,
expenses on executives is cut to size, and corrupt practices in US system is put
an end for good and for eve. Why not Indian politicians learn lesson from their
masters at least and ensure transparency in all their action and why do they not
discard vote bank politics based on caste, community, religion and region is a
big question to answer and a big challenge for those whose vision is to see
India really shining in the world.
