Here is my
appeal to PM / Pranab / Khurshid / Advaniji :
Please do
not make this a personal prestige issue. Compromise for the sake of nation’s
prestige.
Settle on
following compromise formula – and today itself :
Ø
Prime
Minister and Chief Justice of India to be excluded from the purview of proposed
Lokpal Bill
Ø
All
other ministers / judges to be included
Ø
All
MPs / MLAs to be included
Ø
All
government servants to be included, irrespective of rank
Ø
Maximum
punishment for those found corrupt to be life imprisonment
Ø
Lokpal
to be made answerable to the President of India and can be dismissed / punished
by the President if deemed to be corrupt
Ø
Lokpal
shall not hold any other “ position of profit “, nor can be a retired
government servant
Ø
Black
money ( whether illegally stashed abroad or within the country ) to be declared
“ National Asset / National Wealth “
Ø
Encourage
black money to be repatriated legally – and without penalty – if invested in
Govt approved Infrastructure Bonds / SPVs
Ø
Gradually
reduce personal income tax to a max of 15 % and Corporate tax to a max of 20%
Ø
Start
drafting a separate bill whereby voters can recall their elected representative
to Panchayats / Municipalities / Legislative Assemblies / Parliament
Ø
Let
this be an MOU to be signed by all present at today’s all party meet. Present
it to Anna with a request to end fast.
There are
always two parties to a dispute. Any agreement reached must appear like a
win-win situation to both. If any party gets a feeling that it “ lost out “,
then it will find ways and means to sabotage the agreement.
What good
is an agreement that looks good on a piece of paper but just cannot be
implemented ?
Please
forget the events of last few days. Make the first move towards reconciliation.
Nation expects from you humility / magnanimity. Mud slinging will take you
nowhere !
With
regards
hemen
parekh
Jobs
for All = Peace on Earth
