Majority of Indians seem to be smitten by Anna Hazare’s antics. He has become a hero of sorts within days if not hours. I personally think he is just a media hyped personality who has been used by the media to fill in the gap between the World Cup and the IPL. I am biased. I don’t believe in someone who has dodgy intentions and even dodgier methods to achieve them.

I am opposed to; corruption, hunger strikes, misgovernance as well as the Jan Lok Pall Bill. No, it’s not contradictory.

First of all, what Anna Hazare is doing in unconstitutional. He is literally mocking the democratic procedure established in the country. I am not sure how he elected himself and his small band as the ‘representatives of the civil society’.

Civil society is all of us. We all choose our representatives when we vote. They draft the Bills so aren’t the representatives already drafting the Bills? All legislations can have a ‘Jan’ in front of them according to Anna Hazare’s logic.

Mr. Pratap Bhanu Mehta said “The morality of fasting unto death for a political cause in a constitutional democracy has always been a tricky issue. There is something deeply coercive about fasting unto death. When it is tied to an unparalleled moral eminence, as it is in the case of Anna Hazare, it amounts to blackmail.”

Anna Hazare says that he is a populist leader. He claims he has the backing of the people. If you are so confident that people have faith in you then why not stand for elections? Populist leaders can easily win elections, can’t they? You can then draft the legislations and work for the society. It’s the constitutional way of doing things.

Anna Hazare benefitted from the fact that the media was news deprived and the people were very irritated with the UPA government’s misdeeds.

I have some questions for Anna Hazare.

Where were the holders of candles, wearers of Gandhi topis and hunger strikers when the offices of the Chief Election Commissioner, the Central Vigilance Commissioner and even the President of the Republic were handed out to persons with dubious credentials? If you didn’t come out to protest the perversion of these institutions why are you somehow more likely to turn up to protest when a dubious person is sought to be made the Jan Lok Pal?

Anna Hazare even supports Raj Thackeray’s tirade against non-marathis. Are only marathis included in the civil society Mr Representative?

Anna Hazare had said that he respected what Narendra Modi had done with Gujarat. He was all praises for him. It received a lot of news time. Anna came to Gujarat a month or two after this and openly criticized Narendra Modi, again catching a lot of eye balls. When asked why he had a change of heart, he said he found out the actual condition only after he came to Gujarat. So if you had never been to Gujarat and did not know what work Narendra Modi had done then on what basis did you praise him in the first place? Or is it all about staying in the news?

When the dust over this issue was settled Anna Hazare again announces that our Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh is a good man but Sonia Gandhi controls him with a remote control which stops him from working to his full potential. Another controversial statement at the time when the newspapers seemed to have moved on to other news. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

There are people who believe that the Jan Lok Pal Bill will create a separate government like structure and that Anna Hazare is trying to be the Prime Minister of that government.

We don’t need the Jan Lok Pall Bill. We already have enough laws to tackle corruption. We just need better people to manage the country. We need people to vote responsibly. We need to work as a nation. We don’t need a revolution. We need a well planned and constructive plan to tackle corruption and improve governance. We don’t need Anna Hazare or representatives. Individuals or a small group can and always will make a difference but not when their intentions are questionable and their means unconstitutional.

I would like to end by quoting Dr. B.R. Ambedkar from his Constituent Assembly speech.

“…we must abandon the bl**dy methods of revolution. It means that we must abandon the method of civil disobedience, non-cooperation and satyagraha. When there was no way left for constitutional methods for achieving economic and social objectives, there was a great deal of justification for unconstitutional methods. But where constitutional methods are open, there can be no justification for these unconstitutional methods. These methods are nothing but the Grammar of Anarchy and the sooner they are abandoned, the better for us.”

Jai Hind!

P.S. – I just want to let everyone know that Anna Hazare is not Mahatma Gandhi like some people are trying to portray him. My views in this post are strictly showing just one side of the story. I personally think that the dark side is overpowering the bright side as of now. It’s just my view. I would love to hear your counter view on this.

anna asked just to put the bill in parliament, not to make it law, 

its our elected parliamentary members only who will discuss the issues of the bill and then decide that it should be converted to law or not ...........its neither anna nor anybody out from parliament. but on name of such bills, when parliament is making fool the public since 1968 and mocking a dummy bill, whats wrong to put the bill on table?????? without going in depth ....let the parliament decide the fate of the bill ............ in open house .so that public can see and hear the views of our elected members.

i strongly agree with you sir,

the question here should not be who is anna but the question should be of voice he is raised

@ FUTURE CA CS I WAS READING YOUR PREVIOUS MESSAGES AND HAVE READ REPLY GIVEN BY OTHER MEMBERS . I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE CLEARED YOUR DOUBTS

I HAVE STRONG BELIEVE IN IT 

PEOPLE WHO R NOT AGAINST THE CORRUPTION R DIRECTLY OR IN IMPLIED FORM R SUPPORTING THE CORRUPTION.

AM I RIGHT OR WRONG????????????????????- MY PERSONAL VIEWS

Constitution is "For the people,By the people,of the people"

What ever Anna is doing , It's his method.

Govt is doing nothing except giving false promises to remove crrouption and control inflation.

RBI is hiking rates of interest and that is affecting growth rates of all sectors.

All agencies who have responsiblities to do investigations like CBI and ACB who works to stop curroption are under the control of government and whenever  there situations come to do investigation of any govt officer or leader then compoulsory for them to take permission of govt which we all know the permission is given in rare cases or given very late. (A. Raja's case is the same case)

There is a department  called VIGILENCE DEPARTMENT for giving recomendations for punishment or order of dissmissal for various govt. department officers and its well known fact their recomendations are never accepted by govt so, its a time pass and money wasting department.

Many of the CBI and other investigation officers are facing different charges on them.

Now, my question is to the Blog writer and the person who has posted that blog here and to all other people who are supporting this blog,

Can you guys, suggest one way to work in efficent way for these curropted govt agencies?

Please share, How much laws are there which allows to stop curroption efficiently? So, we should not introduce new law.

Thanks & Regards,

Abhi

Extremly disagree....

 

Lokpal is not about corruption. It is about prosecuting corrupt person by Lokayuk without involvement of judiciary.

In short, first there shoud be CORRUPTION... :D :D

 

 

and I am little bit confused with all such activities., as why this all happening now, as the concept of lokpal was firstly proposed in 1968..., where was Anna at that time...???

Ohh., ya I got it.., he way driving taxies in Indian Millitry......

 

It sound very funny, that a 7th standard faild person, is guding whole India to make a Lokpal... :D :D :D

 

what can be worse than this...?????????

 

Now have a look upon attached file... :-/

 

Hope, this forum dont get deleted... :-/ 

Anna and the Minister had the power of both ethics and integrity, Anna, and his strength in the fight against corruption to the Prime Minister to avoid corrupted.
Indians me something!!!

अन्ना और मनमोहन दोनों के पास नैतिकता और ईमानदारी की ताकत थी, अन्ना ने अपनी ताकत भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ लड़ने में किया और मनमोहन ने भ्रष्टाचारियो को बचने में.
कुछ करो मेरे भारतवासियो !!!

we have to think .....

Hello Mr Arvind Sharma, I think your father or mother or relatives will be in govt. service or these one may be associated with congress party.Can you plz don't use u r devil mind for 2 or 3 months. Let the Jan-Lokpal Bill be passed in Parliament. Do u think the all people supporting Anna are fool. Go to Ram Leela Maidan & tell people about u r thinking. U will get answer. Thats y u r opposing Anna Hajare. First of all i'd like to tell you that the bill of jan-lokpal has been drafted by retired supreme court judge (Mr. Santosh Hegde). Read the draft carefully. Don't mislead people of India. It is the result of guys like you that India is word no. 4th country in terms of corruption. First clear your knowledge and then come here to post comments. Make a call to Mr. Kapil Sibbal or Sonia Gandhi . These person will definately admire your efforts. It may also be possible that these one can give a ticket for election freely. Thanks for misleading people of India. Letb me clear you that Anna Hajare is not fighting for himself. He is on fast for people of India.

mr. arvind sharma i strongly disagree with you.

1---- i dont know about constitution very much, but in a democratic country, feelings of people should be accepted, and no one is above the people.

2----- elected leaders are only representative of people, not owner of country.

3------congress led govt. ne koi 10 saal ka contract nahi le ki  liya jo bi kare, usse janta agree kare.

4------- may be the all methods adopted by anna hazare sahab are not correct as per constitution, but the annas intention is very much clear and holy.

do u know team member of anna hazare .

i think that u must cleared ur knowledege and also mind .

if u not  supporting anna hazare (Against corruption ) i better way u shut ur mouth and ur fingure...

do ur work do'n't involved.!!!!!!!!!

Anna is not using any unconstitutional means. Its our fundamental right to oppose. He is doing this for us. It's our moral duty to support him. Instead of critizcising him , we should  support him & before criticizing him we should clear our knowledge regarding him. The congress govt has used all possible means to discredit him , but didn't success. If the facts told by Mr. Arvind Sharma would have been true, the congress party would have definately used it. His fast is in no way unconstitutional & his team members who drafted jan-lokpal bill are highly qualified.

Below is details of Team members of Anna Hajare

Arvind Kejariwal :- Mechanical Engineer From IIT Khadagpur, He has been Joint Commissioner of Delhi Income Tax Department. But he had resigned this post for social Service

Prashant Bhushan :- Senior & one of the most experienced Advocate of Supreme court

Shanti Bhushan :- Senior Advocate & Former Law Minister

Santosh Hegade :- Retired Supreme Court Judge

Kiran Bedi is also associated with the team & many more

Mr. Arvind Sharma, Plz clear u r knowledge . Plz don't try to discredit Anna Hajare. It's our movement, plz don't try to mislead us. Plz...............................
