Lokpal Bill

Everyone in India agree that corruption must be eliminated. It is causing big harm to entire nation. People are making effort in their own capacity to make things better. One such attempt is Lokpal Bill. There are two kinds of debates going on.

Is this Lokpal good?

Who should get credit for it?

Lokpal is good or not will be decided by time. If it eliminates corruption, then it is good otherwise not. A year or two will make this clear.

And who should take credit for it? No one. When someone do something for nation, it is not for credit or fame. A man in service of nation must first give up selfishness, ego and desires. Like Mahatma Gandhi. Did he ask for any credit for what he did for Independence and other big changes in society? If he did not then no one has any right to seek any credit for anything done. It is for people to judge and time to decide. Infact this is the real test. A real person in service of nation will never seek credit either directly or through supporters.

And how to remove corruption? Strong Lokpal and other such laws for not only government servants but entire population. Be it a serviceman, businessman, professional or any other person.

-  Target zero corruption and zero black money.
-  Stop 500 and 1000 Rupee notes.
-  Create online databank of all real estate properties, lockers, shares, credit card, bank account etc to eliminate benami or black transactions. Every single property, locker, credit card, bank account and share must have PAN No associated, let people claim them through self disclosure. All unclaimed properties, lockers, shares, credit card, bank account must be frozen and finally confiscated and go to government.  
-  Any private business owner or professional or service provider with giving fake or no receipt must be penalized.
