People of India are again on the streets, its the same reason, same cause, the same figure taking initiative for the cause. The cause which has ruined India since at least last five decades. The government tried to play the same old trick when they realized that people are supporting Mr.Anna Hazare in every way they can support. Government thinking that people of India are having the problem of "short term memory loss" will save them as the time will pass. But this time for their much surprise the people have overcome this problem and now we can see the helpless government and helpless leaders of the ruling party making irresponsible statements. Many of them have started accusing Mr. Anna Hazare of blame game, saying that Mr. Anna Hazare can not challenge the Indian Parliament, its not Mr. Anna's job to dictate the laws and policies. Yes, I agree Indian Parliament is the supreme institution when it comes to the making the laws and policies, but have our leader ever tried to maintain the sacredness of the Indian Parliament. Our Parliament is the representation of the pride, trust and dreams of our people. Have these leader ever cared about these feelings? People of India had given them long enough time to solve their problems, to make their life better, to fulfill their dreams, a period of 60 years was the waiting period and the growing support to Mr. Anna Hazare shows that people are now not willing to trust our leaders, they want the results and not the fake promises, they want the development and not the low level politics of communal hatred, they want their dreams coming true and not the just the mere hopes of better future. Our leaders just cashed the popularity on the slogans like "Garibi Hatav"(remove the poverty),"Feel good factor", they told us that we will be a super power in upcoming decade but they ignored some ground realities or they wanted to ignore these realities intentionally. We are talking about the silicon revolution and most of us can't get the electricity for twelve hours a day, most of us don't have access to the clean drinking water, better roads, medical facilities. Our leaders knows these facts but it's their ego which is not allowing them to admit their blunders. The problem is most of them are corrupt hence the new 'Jan Lokpal Bill' will take away their right to corruption and people now are well aware of it. Almost everyone of us is the victims of corruption because we need to go to various government offices, we need to drive our vehicles on the roads, we need to buy our homes to live in, we need to get our provident fund when we get retired, sometime we get desperate to get our work done so we give bribes and then it becomes a system. I agree everyone of us have given a bribe for some reason at some point but have you ever thought why we give the bribe? Its because the system forces us to do so or else we won't get anything on time, we won't get our driving licenses, we won' t get our gas connections, we won't get our ration cards, we won't get our provident fund even if we are eligible to receive. People are scared to go and complain against the corrupt officers, leaders because they can't trust even the person to whom they are registering their complaints. People believe that, officers of anti corruption department are equally corrupt and they don't want to be in a mess at the end and become a victim of their chain system. Government should now realize that their old tricks to fool the people are not going to work anymore, they should accept the 'Jan Lokpal' bill and should free the people of India from the evils of corruption, if they don't do it they won't be occupying the chairs. Their time is up now....
Thousands of people on the streets, without any leadership, without any political influence, demanding for the Jan-Lokapal bill, a bill that will ultimately control and cure the cancer of corruption in India. Yesterday, I came back from a candle march organized by few organizations in my city, Pune. I felt as if I was watching any Bollywood film, I felt as if I was in dreams, it was unbelievable, I could feel the enthusiasm of the people, giving the slogans against the corrupt politicians, corrupt bureaucrats and corrupt system. There were the young collage students, there were employees, there were pensioners, in short there were people from all backgrounds, agitating by holding candles in support of Mr. Anna Hazare, who was on fast till last hour, for the demand of Jan-Lokpal bill and the victory was ours, it was the victory of India again after 'cricket world cup', when government agreed for all the five demands raised by Mr. Anna Hazare. I remember...
