In early
50s, Shri ShriPrakash was the governor of Maharashtra.
At a short
notice, he had to leave for his hometown. Being a true Gandhian, he did not
want to use the government machinery for a private visit. So he sent a friend
to Bombay Central Railway station to buy the train tickets.
Friend
returned with the tickets but only after bribing the railway clerk.
Narrating
this incidence to Pundit Nehru, ShriPrakash said,
“ As a
Gandhian, I promise I will not take a bribe. But don’t ask me not to give a
bribe ! “
When a
service that is legally / justifiably due but gets denied, what
can
ordinary / non-Gandhian people do ?
This is why
millions are irrationally looking up to Lokpal Bill as some kind of panacea !
Drafting
Committee has an unenviable task before it.
With
regards
