There is a lot of hue and cry about corruption in public, and to initiate financial activities like the demonetisation scheme, but the reality is, most of these finacial programmes, that involves the powerful and highly corrupt IAS lobby, goes on to favour — the corrupt.

A strong suggestion of the corrupt and its favour shows in the NDA government’s decision to support the passage of the Prevention of Corruption (PC) Bill, 2013, an unreasonably watered down version of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, carefully designed to make the accused in the 2G, CWG, Coalgate and AgustaWestland scams look like angels.

Offences defined by the existing Act fall into three broad categories: Trap cases in which corrupt public servants, middlemen, etc, are caught red-handed taking bribes; abuse of official position which targets corruption at higher places; and disproportionate assets.
