What is Jan Lokpal Bill and Governments Lokpal Bill

The major differences between the drafts of Jan Lokpal Bill proposed by the anti-corruption movement led by Anna Hazare and the Govermment's version of the Lokpal Bill The summary will also make one quickly realize that. 

Difference in Jan Lokpal Bill and Governments Lokpal Bill

Issue	What is Governments Lokpal Bill	What is Anna’s Lokpal Bill
Prime Minister in Corruption	If P.M. is associated with any kind of corruption, CBI will investigate it.	CBI is under the guidance of PM. Then how will it investigate against him. If PM wants to be out from any kind of quiz, Government should modify the laws in the constitution. Why to confuse the people like this. According to Anna’s bill, Lokpal and independent agency will investigate Prime Minister’s involvement in corruption.
Protection of Citizen who complained	CVC, an official who had no power and no resource would be liable to protect the complainer.	Lokpal will ensure the protection of citizens who filed the complaint. Lokpal will have proper rights and resources to do so.
Corruption by a Member of Parliament.	A parliamentary committee should investigate the cases of vote for money, bribery and paid questions.	In the last 62 years, there are hundreds of cases suggesting vote for money but till now no honest investigation took place and no M.P. was criminalized. Anna Hazare’s bill says that Lokpal will independently investigate and analyze such cases.
Selection of Members in Lokpal Committee	1.) 10 member committee will include 6 leaders. By this government will make a weak Lokpal which will be of no use.2.) Committee will look after selection process.	1.) 10 Member committee will include 2 leaders, 4 Judges and 2 persons from a constitutional position.2.) The selection process is very long and it will involve a full participation of public.
Bribery at offices	A citizen charter will be developed and a time period for a specific work would be mentioned in it but if a government employee fails to do the work in the given time frame what will happen? Government has no answer on this, so what is the need of a Citizen Charter and why will a government officer abide to it.	If Citizen Charter is ignored then the said employee will be punished by Lokpal and a fine will be imposed on employee which will be paid to citizens.
Reporting of Lokpal Members	All members will report to Government only. Only government will be able to remove any member by filing a petition in the Honorable Supreme Court.	Members reporting will be directly towards general public. Any citizen can remove a corrupt Lokpal member by filing a case in Honorable Supreme Court.
Corruption in Lokpal Staff	Lokpal will be the only body to hear the cases and that will make it of no use. In turn Lokpal office will turn into home of corruption	A Complaint Commission will be setup in each state and it will investigate the breaching in Lokpal Staff. Process will take a month time only and if found guilty, the staff member will be terminated from duty.
Reach of Lokpal	Lokpal will cover ‘A’ grade officials under central government. No officials and employees below ‘A’ grade position will come under it. Over 80% corruption takes place in the region below ‘A’ grade like Panchayats, Road, School, Hospital etc. This will help rich citizens only.	Each employee under Central government will come under Lokpal. On the verge of Lokpal, a Lokayukta will be made in states to check corruption at the state level. The complaints would be made directly to Lokpal and Lokayukta.
Punishment to Corrupts	Maximum 10 years of punishment.	Maximum punishment of Life Sentence in Jail. Higher the official, bigger the punishment.
Judicial Corruption	A three member committee consisting of three judges of the same court will approve the investigation.	How a committee from same court will ever grant permission for investigation. Anna’s Janlokpal bill says that a Seven member committee of Lokpal will make an open hearing to such corruptions.
Removing the Corrupt Official	Minister from the same department can only remove an official who is found corrupt.	An open hearing will take place to take a decision on the removal of a corrupt official. Lokpal committee will discuss the issue.

Bollywood pay Anna Hazare movement for Fast in Mumbai

Mumbai, Dec 21: A day after Team Anna and the Gandhian expressed their unhappiness over the high rentals of the grounds in Bandra, Bollywood music composer-singer Vishal Dadlani has offered to sponsor a day's fast for the septuagenarian.

"I support the issue taken by Anna Hazare and would be part of this movement in every possible way. I would sponsor a day's fast. (which comes up to Rs two lakh)," said Vishal.

The singer had also expressed his support to Anna by singing patriotic songs in Aug during his fast at Azad Maidan this year.

"The whole country is united for eradicating corruption from our system. As a responsible citizen, I will do whatever is there in my capacity for this movement," Vishal said.

Anna Hazare will continue his agitation from Dec 27 demanding for a strong Lokpal Bill. It is, however, not clear if other Team Anna members will fast along with the anti-corruption crusader.

"Arvind Kejriwal has informed us that he will be participating in the fast in Mumbai. This topic has not been discussed with Prashant Bhushan and Kiran Bedi so far and therefore I cannot confirm their participation. This, however, does not mean they will not sit on fast along with others," Suresh Pathare, Hazare's close aide, said.

The statement came after Team Anna was criticised by detractors that the members should have taken up the fast, instead of Anna Hazare.
