Kiran Bedi - DNA
Ramon Magsaysay
Award winner and anti-
corruption crusader
Kiran Bedi has exhorted
people in the country to use technology as a weapon
against corruption.
Bedi came up with a
unique solution to
curb corruption saying
people should use their
mobile camera to capture
the culprits asking for bribe.
In an exclusive conversation
with Divya Jaitly of Zee
Media in Bharat Bhagya
Vidhata’s ‘Ek Naari Ais
i Bhi’ show on ZeeNews
, Bedi said, “Use your
mobile camera and
click photographs if
someone asks for bribe
and pressurize him to deal with you fairly”.
The former lady super cop wanted the government to install cameras across
all government offices, especially those dealing with the public. “Today almost
every government office is synonymous to corruption as the country doesn’t have
stringent laws to punish them. All government offices should use cameras so that
all corrupt practices within the premises can be recorded,” she demanded.
She urged the youth to use the power of voting to fight against corruption. Bedi
pitched for making people believe in their voting right.
Bedi wants the ‘aam aadmi’ to use 49-O election rule if dissatisfied with all the
candidates in the fray. She told BBV, “Don’t let the political parties take you for granted.
Use your vote and select the right candidate. And, please don’t let anyone get elected
only if he is less corrupt than his opponent.” She believed this would result in evoking
fear amongst the corrupt babus.
She observed that corruption had taken deep root in society and there was need for
as much probe of corruption in private sector. “Not only public but the private sector
should also come under the ambit of anti-corruption laws. The government should
enforce a law that includes every sector,” she averred.
On role of police and bureaucracy, she lamented that the focus had completely
shifted away from rendering public service to fulfilling their materialistic needs.
Endorsing the point of view of Bedi, Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor also believed that
India’s youth is angry because of growing corruption
in the country. She told BBV Ek Nari Aisi Bhi Show, “Today there is an anger and anguish
in the youth of the country. But unlike earlier, they (youth) now step out and do
candle-march to register their protest against the growing corruption in the country.”
