The Curious Case of Elected Civic Society

Just read the comment of Mr. Sitaram Yechury and Mr. Manish Tiwari’s in a newspaper and was wondering are they the real representatives of the real civic society of our country if yes than why are they opposing Lokpal Bill in its present form. If everyone is equal in our society, than why is this discrimination? Is Prime Minster and Judiciary should really not come under scrutiny? If so than why are we discussing the Lokpal Bill, the most hilarious comment has been given by Mr Yachury as he says “The Issue raised by Civil Society activists are important. But I don’t think anybody can claim that they represent the entire civil society. If they are civil society who are we? Uncivil Society?” first of all this statement has a smell of egoism in it as he says they represent actual civic society not like Anna who raises a banner against the government and became the representative of the society. According to these so called “Rajya Sabha MP” who himself is not the actual representative of elected Civic society as he claims himself one of them, because he has been elected by the MPs and MLAs of his party from the xyz state and that is why he is in the upper house of the Parliament which actually doesn't have the representative of the common people.

When we see the constitution of India we see that we have a set democratic structure through which a common men vote and elect his/her representative to the parliament, so that the nominated or elected representative raise there concern in the Parliament and help them to live a good life. When we have such kind of structure clearly mention in our Constitution the question arises a commoner can choose anyone from the list of candidate given to him at the time of election. And as we know we have a multi party democratic system in our constitution then definitely we have a right to choose anyone from any party and according to our self belief we chose someone and think he/she is the right person who can raise our voice in the Parliament.

My point of telling all this is very simple when I select someone from the list of different political Parties other then the ruling party is simply because I think he is the right person and can represent me correctly in the parliament or in the Legislative Assembly. And according to me he is my government. Then how this single party with maximum number of representatives who is not my selected party with the help of other regional parties forms the government in the centre and how can they claim themselves the real representatives of civic society. Have they consulted with the voters who have not voted them to represent them in the Parliament? Than how can they form a government and take decision for me.

I object….
