The list should have included another Bill to investigate about the roles and failures of the previous premier in preventing various instances of corruptions and scams indulged in by the members of his Council of Ministers during his incumbency. How a man entrusted with the reign of the nation in good faith could escape the responsibilities of his failures causing loss of lacs of crores of rupees to the nation while the government employees and officials are being awarded with severe punishment for such failures! more

I still remember that there was comment criticizing / staging the CAG Report as part of mere assumptions .
No Governing Body of the Rule under the Constitution is still taken interest on such forgetting the public inerest . more

How can so many Bills be passed in one go? Will these Bills be ever read by all the MPs in detail? The Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill, 2013 which modifies the definition of taking a bribe and requires prior sanction to investigate officials is a retrograde step. It will further increase corruption in government offices. There should be no exemption/ requirement of prior sanction from investigating acts of corruption against any office up to the level of P.M. How can the government in position give sanction for investigating its own acts of corruption? I think we citizens should move the Supreme Court against such an Amendment. It amounts to inequality before the law and a clear violation of Art. 14 of the Constitution of India. I had exposed a major scam of Rs 73 crores by top officials.But the minister did not give clearance to the CBI to charge-sheet the officers concerned, even though there were clear violations of the global contract and false situation of emergency was created for purchasing the material at double the standard price from abroad! more
