Delhi Lokpal Bill 2014 has been passed yesterday by the chief minister and his council of ministers as draft has been finalised . This will bring all under the anti-corruption watchdog . Its panel will include two politicians--chief minister and leader of the opposition, two judges (nominated by the High Court) and two eminent citizens. This anti corruption Bureau will serve as the investigation section. Lokpal will protect honest officials and whistleblowers and witnesses. There cases will be time-bound. The punishment will act as deterrent to corrupt officials; minimum of six months jail term or maximum of life-term could be given, Rs. 25000 will be deducted from the pay of the convicted official. This will go a long way to solve rampant corruption in the capital of India. Perhaps this will act as a guiding light for other states of India and resolve the problem of corruption. It will be tabled in the Assembly soon.
