Why this was not done earlier?
Ever
since he joined the service, my husband is fighting against corrupt practices. The fact that he opted to resign from service
than tolerate the corrupt practices of his senior officer in mid 80’s, may give an idea about the depth of his concern.
He had suggested in the early 90’s to the State Administrative Reforms Commission to introduce Whistle Blowers Act.
Any officer who persists in opposing corrupt practices for 25 years has to have many troubled periods and my husband’s
case is no exception. There are not many officers who have prevented corruption before it could happen. Unfortunately, the
achievements of all such officers get buried in their Annual Confidential Reports, which most of the time is never used for
any good purpose. They do not seek any publicity either. While officer’s effort to prevent corrupt practices are hardly
appreciated, as he moves up in the bureaucratic ladder, his efforts are actually hated, as is evident from what happened to
my husband. Whenever my husband has reported and prevented corrupt practices in the past, the results were mixed but never
were his efforts totally ignored.
The recent reporting by my husband of corrupt practices of senior officers was totally
ignored by the head of the Bureaucracy. This has resulted in harassment and threats and
hence this website. I have already got information under the Right to Information Act
and established the fact that my husband is harassed for exposing the corrupt practices. Further I have also lodged complaint
with the Lokayukta to take up investigations on the corrupt practices reported many times to the Government. As no support is forthcoming from the head of the bureaucracy, I have decided to join in his fight through the
creation of this website to get support from like-minded people
