The former CBI director R K Raghavan views on corruption in public life are well thought out. (DNA 23-09-09). There is urgent need to change the laws regarding obtention of requisite permission for registering cases when the corrupt babus are caught pants down. But the basic question is why our babus and other public servants are corrupt?
Apart from comparatively not so attractive salaries, what makes them to indulge in corruption? Our political bosses. Our babus and other government servants know the many corrupt ways of our politicians’ right from fighting election to the seat of power. They are just following their leaders. So the fight against corruption should start from the cleansing the political system. The Prevention of Corruption Act 1988, even if it is amended with suitable clauses as desired by the experts will not bring the desired results in fight against corruption, unless our political leaders are honest. Then, who will the cat?
