VCK president Thol.Thirumaavalavan speech at the all party meet regarding lokpal issue, held on 03.07.2011 at the prime minister’s residence

Honorable prime minister and all our leaders, I express my sincere thanks for giving this opportunity to prevent or to eradicate the corruption, there should be a need of electoral reforms in our nation. Unless we do reforms or corrections in our electoral system we can’t achieve anything even though we have a strong lokpal.

Our electoral system is the root cause of poverty and corruption.These poverty and corruption are the two sides of a coin. We can eradicate the poverty only through prevent the corruption. So it is very essential or need of hour, to have a powerful lokpal to prevent it.

Here I wish to express my view in these, that we should not bother about any individual like Anna Hazare. Particularly we do not bother about the question of champion of this issue.

Certainly we are all here in favor of the prevention of corruption. Hence I request our all leaders here, to consider the opinions of public. Definitely the common people are in favor of Anna Hazare’s stands and his efforts.

So I simply support all the demands which proposed by the representations of civil joint drafting committee.

I support the demand that the one single act should provide for both centre and state.

I support the demand that the prime minister should brought with in the purview of the lokpal.

I support the demand that the judges of Supreme Court and high court should include with in the purview of the lokpal and I support all other demands which are proposed by the representatives of the civil society.

Unless we do this we can’t achieve anything in this. Finally I would like to say that we must have an elaborate discussion in the parliament in this issue and then enact an effective lokpal by a large, I wish to emphasize that there must be a mechanism for reforming the electoral system in our country. This very very essential to prevent the corruption and to eradicate the poverty in our nation. The reformation of electoral system only can make the lokpal as usual as effective. Thank you.
