MAIN BHI ANNA....TU BHI ANNA... AB TO SARA DESH HAI ANNA...!!!

Thursday, 25th August 2011

            Today is the 10th day of Fast Unto Death, initiated by veteran Gandhian leader, Anna Hazare. The Government is doing everything to turn upside down his efforts to bring in effective Jan Lokpal Bill. The strong willed Anna Hazare has once again shown that to fight a war with non-violence, is no child's play. Many leaders from the political spectrum, who do not have experience of what is non-violence, should actually learn from what has been going on on the Indian political scene. 

It is really a proud moment that for the last 10 days no violence has taken place in any part of the country, which proves that it is a people's movement. Had there been any political party involved in such a agitation, non-violence can not be assured. Shiv Sena and likes of MNS, which has their roots in violence can not and will never understand what is the power of non-violence is and those Mahatma Gandhi bashers should get a fitting reply. Particularly leaders who advocate violence for their petty interest.

                                 The spontaneous support of people for the Team Anna makes task difficult for Team Anna and much more tricky for Government. Team Anna needs to lead with strategy all millions of people who have trust in him and his ability to achieve goal while the government has already looked foolish so far in handling the Anna Hazare episode. Team Anna needs to handle the fire of outrage of people for not conceding to demands by the government, which is very close to betting inflamed at any point of time, requires the government to consider the matter and give up the notion that it is just the handful of people who are doing it. If the Government machinery led by Kapil Sibbal and P. Chidambaram think that they can handle this situation, perhaps they are too small in stature compared to Anna Hazare.

Drama which is continuing since last 10 days, has many heroes and many villains. People understand deeply who is interested in their welfare and who wants to mint money and forget the same people who played a bigger role in electing them to the Parliament. There is no question on Constitution of India, which created Parliament to above every institution in Indian democratic set up. But government has failed to understand the real meaning of democracy.

            The people in the Congress led Government has understood democracy as to go to people for votes  every 5 years and after getting votes, forget those who gave them vote for next 5 years. They feel that they are not responsible to people who elected them, at the same time they get irritated if they are asked questions about the failure of Government machinery. So it is made to believe that people who vote them have no right whatsoever to ever dare to ask any questions. People should obediently vote for them, whether to vote for Congress or the BJP or any other party, they have same face, look, principles, working modalities and most importantly their belief of Democracy. So nothing changes, except the faces, with change of Government.

 Interesting fact about this Government has been that they have all been busy protecting each other. इस हमाम में हम सब नंगे है! The entire political class is behind the Government in saving their own skin from scrutiny of JAN LOKPAL BILL.

The main opposition party the BJP has been playing around with the words from the day one. They are making people believe that they have different like on the Jan Lokpal Bill, while they are the other side of the coin. These people are out to save the corrupt and dishonest people at the same time implementing every tactics to silence the people like Baba Ramdev, who tried to lead an agitation to bring back the Black Money back to India.

The situation has come where it has become an ego for the Government to backtrack, even in the larger interest of the people. Congress President, needs to prove that she is not a foreigner and knows when to bow to the people's demand. She can not stay aloof and dictate terms. She can not run the Government by remote control.

Is it democracy where scam after scam are unearthed and no one till date is ever punished?

Is it Democracy where the Members of Parliament, once elected act as King of their constituency?

Is it Democracy that persons like Lalu Prasad Yadav, eat up the Chara, meant for the cows and buffaloes?
