It needs to be realised that a fear ridden and slow moving administrative machinery is a serious handicap in the country's progress and development. Undoubtedly corruption has become highly worrisome and ought to be given highest priority in combating it. This fight would however, be more fruitful if undertaken in rational and prudent ways. Thus the need for an independent, informal and speedy citizens' grievance redressal machinery was thought to be a sine qua non by the ARC in our democratic form of government. This is the simplest and quickest way to deal with corruption of all kinds. The long delayed Lokpal Bill should therefore be enacted now for the long term interests of the country and the people. - Reproduced.
