Long ago, I
was one of the few Indians who opposed ‘Jan Lokpal Bill’ as proposed by Arvind
Kejriwal et al. I opposed his version
of the bill, not because I support corruption in the country, but because I
found his bill autocratic, running counter to the core fabric of a modern
democracy, wherein the judiciary, police force and administration were all
rolled into one entity. Such convergence
of powers into one single body is anathema to modem nations, which ensure that
the administrator, the police officer and the judge remain separate entities.
