சிகாகோ கவுன்சில் என்ற அமைப்பு சர்வதேச விவகாரங்கள் தொடர்பாக ஏற்பாடு செய்திருந்த நிகழ்ச்சியொன்றில் பேசிய, கிரண்பேடி கூறியதாவது: இந்தியாவில் நடக்கும் ஊழல்களால், ஆண்டுதோறும் 72 ஆயிரம் கோடி ரூபாய் அளவுக்கு இழப்பு ஏற்படுகிறது. உள்கட்டமைப்பு உள்ளிட்ட வளர்ச்சி திட்டங்களுக்கு 100 ரூபாய் ஒதுக்கினால், அதில், 16 ரூபாய் மட்டுமே பயன்படுத்தப்படுகிறது. மீதம் உள்ள 84 ரூபாய் காணாமல் போகிறது. அமெரிக்காவில் வசிக்கும் இந்தியர்களும், ஊழலுக்கு எதிராக குரல் எழுப்ப வேண்டும். ஊழல் எதிர்கால சந்ததியினரையும் பாதிக்க கூடியது. ஊழல் அதிகரிப்பதற்கு காரணம், அதை கட்டுப்படுத்துவற்கான முறைகள் இல்லை. சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட் கண்காணிப்பால், கடந்த சில மாதங்களாக, ஊழல் செய்த அரசியல்வாதிகளும், அதிகாரிகளும் முதன்முறையாக சிறையில் அடைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளனர். அவர்களுக்கு ஜாமினும் வழங்கப்படவில்லை. இதற்காக, சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட்டுக்கு நன்றி சொல்ல கடமைப்பட்டுள்ளேன். இவ்வாறு கிரண்பேடி கூறினார்.
Out of every Rs 100 meant for infrastructure development, only Rs 16 is used and Rs 84 is lost," said Bedi at a event conducted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. She further said that India could become a developed nation in the world only after it becomes free of corruption first and pays back all its debt. "I would like to see Indians in America collectively raising a voice because it is our future," said Bedi, who is also a part of Anna Hazare's fight against corruption. She further spoke about the Lokpal Bill and said that corruption in India was at its peak because the country lacked a system which could keep a check on activities like these.
"It is only in the last two months thanks to the Supreme Court that key players and politicians went to jail for the first time and have not been bailed out till now," said Bedi. Speaking about the event India Against Corruption that was held at Gayatri Shaktipeeth she said, "Scams have increased over the years and the number of recorded scams have also increased," and said that records showed that such scams had no appropriate punishment. She urged that she needed support from the Non-Resident Indians (NRI) in the fight against corruption for taking the campaign a step forward."We can also try to weed out corruption if we allocate even 0.5 per cent of budget for anti-corruption," she added.
