This is the most potent argument that I have heard against Lokpal Bill.
Indeed, what Marshall says is very true.
They say that in Ralegan Siddhi, the home of Anna Hazare, people are tied to
trees and flogged for drinking alcohol.

PS: Where there is a will, there is a way. We have a 'zablo' full of Laws,
rules and regulations. Yet we need a LOKPAL.
Why not Anna Hazare himself?? So he can shoot dead all of Narendra Modi's
opponents???

Response:****
Our judiciary,
our defence forces, our religious authorities, our educationists, our
doctors, our lawyers have all been contaminated by corruption. And sad
to say, I am seeing it even in the private sector and among NGO’s.****

The revulsion against politicians is so great that we all would like
to believe the Lok Pal like some Superman is the answer to all our
ills. However, we tend to ignore the fact the Lok Pal will be selected
from one amongst us. What if he decides to take authority into his own
hands and act like a dictator.
We need to have checks and balances in the
system. More importantly we need to inculcate good ethics and values
in our children and citizens.
We need people of integrity and strong
character. Only then will there be positive change in society. While
we do need an institution like Lok Pal let us not expect too much,
lest we be disappointed.
