WHAT IS THE GREAT HURRY ?

Central Bureau of Investigation – India ( CBI ), submitted following score-card recently ( DNA / June 27, 2011 ) :

Ø      Age-wise analysis of all pending cases :

             

·        Cases pending for more than 20 years ……….   381

·        Cases pending for more than 15 years ………   1000

·        Cases pending for more than 10 years ………   2300

Ø      Cases pending for more than 10 years – State wise :

·        Delhi ………………………  458

·        West Bengal …………….338

·        Uttar Pradesh ………… 282

·        Maharashtra  …………  264

·        Gujarat ………………….. 156

·        Jharkhand  ……………….150

If this is the situation when only a handful of persons ( Chief Ministers of 28 Indian States + High Courts ? ), can demand / order a CBI inquiry, what would happen when millions of ordinary Indian citizens, start demanding a Lokpal / Lok Ayukta investigation against 12 million government servants?

May be, we should prepare ourselves to seeing Lokpal investigation statistics in terms of :

Ø      Cases pending for  1  Century  ………….

Ø      Cases pending for  2  Centuries ……………
