Anna Hazare and his fight for the Lokpal Bill

[MUTUKULA SURESH KUMAR]

 1. Who is Anna Hazare?
 An ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War

 2. What's so special about him?
 He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra
 3. So what?
 This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the
 village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills.
 In 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.

 4. Ok,...?
 This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for
 his social activities.

 5. Really, what is he fighting for?
 He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in
 India.
 6. How that can be possible?
 He is advocating for a Bil, The Lok Pal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill),
 that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians
 (ministers), beurocrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.

 8. It's an entirely new thing right..?
 In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan.
 Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying to
 change the bill to suit thier theft (corruption).

 7. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a
 Bill ! How can that be possible in such a short span of time?
 The first thing he 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 LOK PAL BILL. 50% goverment
 participation and 50% public participation. Because you cant trust the
 government entirely for making such a bill which does not suit them.

 8. Fine, What will happen when this bill is passed?
 A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous
 charge, say like the Election Commission of India. In each and every
 state, 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. Not like, Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas Tragedy case, that
 has been going for last 25 years without any result.

 9. Is he alone? Whoelse is there in the fight with Anna Hazare?
 Baba Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI
 activist Arvind Kejriwal and many more.
 Prominent personalities like Aamir Khan is supporting his cause.

 10. Ok, got it. What can I do?
 At least we can spread the message. How?
 Putting status message, links, video, changing profile pics.
 At least we can support Anna Hazare and the cause for uprooting corruption
 from India.
 At least we can hope that his Hunger Strike does not go in vain.
 At least we can pray for his good health.

 Spread the above word to the entire world.
