Who is Anna Hazare?
Anna Hazare, a Gandhian, An ex-army Jawan, who Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War, He has built a village called Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra, which is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the village itself from solar power, bio-fuel and wind mills. In the 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village in India. It has become a model for self-sustained, Eco-friendly & harmonic village.
Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for his social activities.
Today he is fighting for the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India., He is advocating for a Bill, The Jan Lokpal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill), that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians (ministers), bureaucrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.
Way back in 1972, the bill was proposed by the then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan. Since then it has been neglected by the politicians showing some excuse or some omission.
His main demand is very reasonable :
Anna is asking for is: the government should come forward and announce that the bill is going to be passed.
Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT the JAN LOKPAL BILL. 50% government participation and 50% public participation. Because one cant trust the government entirely for making such a bill which does not suit them.
Out come of the Lokpal Bill
A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. This officer will have an autonomous charge, just like the Election Commission of India. In all the states, Lokayukta will be appointed.
The job is to bring all alleged party to trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be punished.
This is a fast track trail and punishment of the guilty, Not like that of the cases and scams which we are hearing for years and the culprits in many cases left India, few died, few are absconding in few cases evidences are manipulated etc ., we are aware of such cases like Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas Tragedy case, that has been going for last 25 years without any result.
Supporters for the Cause
All un corrupt Indians, people who love India, people who are for better India, people who are for poverty free India are supporting Anna for the Cause. Add to all Indians prominent personalities like Aamir Khan, Kiran Bedi, Baba Ramdev, Swami Agnivesh, RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal and many more.
Are you against Corruption ?
Next time when you go to a Mucipal office , Government office, Government Hospital , MRO office, RDO office, VDO office, Panchayat office , Police Dept, Passport Verification etc. never give money to get your work done on a fast track, your work will be done , don’t worry, public servants are there to serve you.
Once every India stops bribing , the work in Government offices will be done in a process , your file and your neighbors file will be moved fast as there are no bribe giving Indians, the work will work in its process.
You may think, if I don’t bribe , my neighbor will bribe, and he will get the work done fast,
If you don’t bribe , your neighbor too will not bribe, both your work will be done in the first come first serve process.
Better Kakinada urges you to stop giving bribes and not manure the tree called Corruption.
