WHAT WE MEAN BY "CORRUPTION" - A DEBATE

A DEBATE - Oxford Dictionary defines “Corruption” as Dishonest or Illegal behavior, especially of people in authority. This may be one angle to view “Corruption”. A section of people in the society may have amassed the entire wealth of the country legally leaving the majority to poverty. Is it not a “Corruption”? In my humble submission, “Corruption” needs to be seen and understood in terms of the Constitutional philosophy of ‘egalitarian society’. Article 38 of the Constitution mandates the State to strive to minimize the inequalities in income, and endeavor to eliminate in status, facilities and opportunities, not only amongst individuals but also amongst groups of people residing in different areas or engaged in different vocations. Therefore, the guiding factors to track and to check the menace of “Corruption” must be none other than the Constitution of India.

CORRUPT HAS ALSO A RIGHT TO FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION FOR THE BENEFIT OF NEXT GENERATION

I may be corrupt and not honest but still I have a right to fight against corruption. After all, I have inherited corruption from the Corrupt System prevalent in society. How can I alone be blamed for it? Shri Anna Hazare is no exception. At least my next generation will be benefited by my fight against corruption.

Don't forget my dear that the laws are made to benefit corrupt people. How can you fight corruption in terms of these laws? Now the Government is citing laws to frustrate the peaceful and non-violent movement by Shri Anna Hazare. ‘Emergency’ was also imposed in 1976 by law and sadly, the Supreme Court upheld the same.

THRASHED BY THE SCHOOL TEACHER, DELHI STUDENTS REACHED JAIPUR

Two male students aged 11 and 12 years of Model School, Azadpur, Delhi were beaten up by the class teacher on 03.08.2011. Fearing that they would be thrashed by the parents, they decided to go to Bihar (Home Town) but accidentally they boarded the train for Jaipur and reached Jaipur Railway Station. Around 10 pm, one Mr. Tiwari noticed these children and after listening their story, he took them with him and with the help of my friend and social activist Vijay Goel produced these students today before the CWC, Jaipur which sent them to a government children home. Around 2 pm I got a telephone call from Mr. Vijay Goel (9460387130) informing me that these students are carrying a school bag containing school name as Model School, New Delhi. I immediately come in contact with the Missing Children Cell of Delhi Police and informed them about the incident. After some time, I got a call from Head Constable Satya Prakash informing me that he has checked up the police record and so far there is no missing complaint regarding these children. He also told me that P.S. Adarsh Nagar has been asked to find out the school and collect required information about these children.
