The only woman minister in the SAD-BJP government, Bibi Jagir Kaur (57), resigned today after she was convicted and sentenced to five-year imprisonment by a CBI court here for conspiring in forcible abortion and abduction of her daughter Harpreet Kaur, who died 12 years ago. Kaur,
She is also a former President of the SGPC . Elected leader of management committee of largest Sikh shrine in the world. Golden temple and amny others in Panjab created by British. Sadly this body recently declared killers of former Sikh chief Minister of Panjab Martyr and living Martyr.Shame on this body for having fallen so low .
MY HATS OFF TO THE JUSTICES FOR DELIVERING JUSTICE IN DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES. THEY WERE ABLE TO PROVE IN THIS CASE EVEN STRONG ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW.

Something about compensation to Victims of Nuclear radiation
Japan does things differently than the rest .It seems like better way.The power company decided to pay 10000 dollars per couple and 8000 dollars an individual.
It is not a lot of money but egalitarian way that they will distribute funds to all without discrimination and heavy duty accounting is really admirable.
It may be not a lot for the people who had to leave everything.It is still more than a poor person could expect.
Many times litigation solutions are not the best one.A society which is more or less litigation oriented can not get the best benefits of the procedures created.Most case involving injustice do not get litigated for lack of funds and energies.Many times in cases involving large sums the attorney fees become as if they were wronged party.It is sad that attorneys representing victims made something on the order of 70 million(rough memory) dollars against victims like 200 million dollars.That is more than one third of the victims got who lost their life in the process.
IN Japan it seems so far no cases have been filed .In Bhopal case in India the American attorneys in the case brought higher value than the Indian system would have provide.In the end it did not serve them well as the site was never cleaned and the union Carbide was allowed to be acquired.With new company having little financial impact.Sadly the victims of the largest Industrial tragedy did not get justice or satisfaction from this tragedy.Society is poorer for the experience.
Our experience wit New Orleans hurricane has been not much better .the government failed to protect the citizens .Buses and people drowned in the total mismanagement of a mediocre tragedy.
A world wide equitable system should be created for relief where bandages and water does not cost a years salary of natives.
All relief should be locally run and direct payment may be best investment. Afghanistan model of war (one million for a soldier a year) is not practical.Pay to Taliban and other gangsters in bags of money is shameful also.No money should be paid to Afghan government by any parties in bags.
It does more harm to all we stand for.

Anna Hazare and the Lok pal Bill
Concept of Lokpal is unique.It is a watch dog with staff who has authority to expedite public grievances It is like ombudsman who is there to serve in political sense the nations agenda.balance the powers between govt and people.The purpose of the position is to expedite and check the abuse claims by people.
It is very commendable on the part of Mr Anna Hazare to bring to people attention need of expedited authority to check power and abuse by the government. Government has given in and ten members of committee Will be formed to create this legislation. five will be from the Govt and five from the civil society. There are some outstanding civil society leaders in this group including Mr Hazare. sadly process has not been as well thought out as it could be.There has not been any room for opposition party viewpoint.
A selection process for the committee should be inclusive and democratic. In legal system problem is slow justice. India must pass law so all cases are adjudicated in first stage with in a year.If not they are dropped .Fictitious cases should have high penalties for the culprits.Laws about cronyism and nepotism should be strengthened. In this case Mr Hazare has appointed a father and son team on the committee.I can not believe he could not find another competent Indian.
For this committee to work well process should be made so that Govt appoints five non serving members(so they may spend the time needed to develop the program)LOk pal may not be limited to Judiciary as their record is not blameless and we should have citizen wisdom.Mr Hazare can appoint may be 4 people on committee and five people should be appointed by opposition. That will create an environment of fairness to develop the bill.Their should be time limit to create and pass the bill.
Lok pal should have the power to investigate all elected or appointed officials .In case lok pal is convinced of wrong doing by the PM or other ministers case can be refereed to a supreme court panel for adjudication. State lok pals should be appointed so that people feel empowered against the abuse by the government. They have worked well in the states they have been involved.
Other than justice and graft India is facing issues with providing nutrition to the poor,power concentration in the hand of few connected and related one.Large business houses have also very high concentration of wealth . Hope they continue to practice the old ethos of caretakers rather than owners of the wealth. As a nation India Will have to carefully nurture the poor and weak.Unique Id will provide significance help in ending some of the inequities.
