Open Letter II to our Leaders


Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, October 10, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- Mr Jamshyd Godrej, Justice Sam Variava, Prof M Narasimham, Mr Yezdi Malegam, Ms Anu Aga, Dr A Vaidyanathan, Dr Bimal Jalan, Mr Keshub Mahindra, Mr Deepak Parekh, Mr N Vaghul, Mr Azim Premji, Mr Nachiket Mor, Justice B N Srikrishna and Dr Ashok Ganguly, are a small group of like-minded citizens who are concerned with the state of affairs of the nation. On January 17, 2011, the Group released an Open Letter to the Leaders of the country which focused on four key issues: - (a) Growing Governance Deficit (b) Galloping Corruption (c) The urgent need to distinguish between 'Dissent' and 'Disruption' and (d) Environmental Challenges. The Group had mentioned that it would attempt to make a beginning to develop specific actions and recommendations which would be placed in the public domain, from time to time. It is in this context that the Group puts forward its second Open Letter.

The focus of the second Open Letter primarily is on issues pertaining to day-to-day corruption being faced by the common man, rather than 'episodic corruption' which the draft Lokpal Bill is intended to address.

The issues of prime concern for the Group that require urgent action are:
. Land, Judicial, Electoral and Police reforms;
. Need for effective redressal mechanisms; and
. Measures to improve the economic and investment climate.
The group believes that through urgent and concerted action by the elected leaders of the country, positive transformation can begin to be achieved.
