Steno Kailash Chandra Vol-24 Dictation No. 461

Sir, I was very glad when I read the Address of the President. He said that this Government is very seriously considering to establish immediately the institutions of Lokpal and Lokayukta. Sir, we have been telling this for years and I think it is high time that this thought was translated into practice. If you have to check this administrative instrument and to check corruption corroding this instrument, we should have moral stature. We, politicians, particularly politicians who are in positions of power must have moral stature otherwise we can never keep this instrument in order. And unless this instrument is put in order the whole problem is going to be complex and we will not be able to solve the economic crisis.
