Muckraker of a Sort

Save Our Punjab

This is a web site launched by a Jassi Kangura, Member of Legislative Assembly Qila Raipur.

The site is being launched to bring in open the cases of corruption. It has invited people to come out with their complaints.

It is a good attempt.

It will be worth watching how far the idea is put into practice.

During the Theodore Roosevelt period, there were a group of journalists and Senators, who tried to bring out the corruption in the American Administration. Roosevelt was highly perturbed by them. They wore the batch of being Muckraker with a pride. It became the force behind the Progressive Movement in American History. Now let us see, how far it goes.

I just remember, that one more MLA, Harish Rai Dhanda started his blog with great promise. But after being elected, it went Phut.

There are phone numbers to contact the representatives of the MLA Sahib. However, there is no email as such. On the other hand, the different sections, wherein the reports of corruption of the failure of the present government of Punjab is to be reported, the email is predominantly asked. It is hoped that if this the shortcoming, then the webmaster may add email to contact them apart from the phone numbers.
