PUNE: If Anna Hazare 's demand for empowering Lokpal is accepted, it will create severe problems than solving them, a serving IPS officer, Suresh Khopade, has said."Bureaucrats, particularly in third-world countries, tend to become pro-capitalist and status-quoist," Khopade, CID Special IG of Pune Police , said. "More powers to Lokpal will create a draconian babu who will create hurdles for development."Khopade, an exponent of community policing, has been in service for more than three decades, starting as the Deputy Superintendent of Police in Bhiwandi.He has authored books on initiatives he implemented during his postings. He spoke to mediapersons at Pune to share his perspective on the ongoing campaign of Hazare. He stated that even if the Jan Lokpal Bill were accepted, it would not stop corruption, as is the perception around Anna Hazare's campaign. "Corruption prevails in spite of thousands of anti-corruption officials. Adding another body will not help, because supporting mechanisms, like the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure , the Indian Evidence Act, etc remain the same," he said."Corruption is a symptom. The disease lies in the outdated bureaucracy, which gives powers to few at the top," said Khopade, first among the bureaucracy to voice his opinion on Anna Hazare's quest against corruption. "Bureaucracy needs to be restructured and powers need to be distributed across levels."Politicians have been prime target in Hazare's campaign, but Khopade surprised media with his revelation that bureaucracy indeed was to blame. "Politicians are the masters of bureaucrats, but actually they are at the mercy of bureaucracy. The report cards of politicians are checked every day - by the media, by the opposition etc. They have to turn to the bureaucracy to get the answers... The bureaucracy ensures it filters out information that will create problems for it. "Politicians are just victims, and the bureaucracy is king and the king is naked."
