OK I know by now I would have already fumed many of them. When everyone has the right to support Anna Hazare, I have the equal rights to say my view since we live in a democratic country. I hope it still is a democratic country. So here's my say on it:
I know Anna is not fasting for his personal needs, he is doing it for the entire nation to get a stronger jan lokpal bill to eradicate corruption. India is a democratic country so he has all the rights to perform a peaceful protest.
But look at the other way round, he fasted once and that was fine. Now its more like blackmailing the government to get what he wants. Speaking about the government, we were the people who elected the present government to power. So its also our mistake to elect them.
Now u may say that all politicians are same, everyone is corrupt. So we just cant be spectators to the entire drama and keep blaming the corrupt politicians.
Jan lokpal bill has created an awareness among people and corruption might reduce in following months, but its like we are creating a parallel govt. Who knows how lokpal and lok ayukta might function in future. Even they may turn corrupt.I hope this does not happen but who knows the future. Lok pal and lok ayukta might work and I might be wrong but there is uncertainty.
With lokpal bill we are trying to solve an issue just by bringing in some fear in our corrupt politicians but will it work? I feel any problem should be solved by treating the root cause. The root cause is corrupt politicians, so y don't we so called "right people" get into the political system and bring a change from within.But r we ready for the hardships which is not like a 9 to 5 job and doesn't pay us any fixed salaries till we are elected to power?
Talking about PM Office to be involved in the lokpal, how many times do normal people like us go and pay bribe to PM? We as regular people would rather be happy if the next time we go to the passport office or license office and get the work done without paying any bribe there. So we will be happy to get the change @ the root level. Ok say lets assume PMO is included in the bill and they find PM to be corrupt. He is caught red handed by the lokpal. What next ? The party removes him from the post and who do u think he ll be replaced by? It ll be another corrupt politician. Just try to go back and remember what happened in Karnataka a few months ago and now Karnataka has ended up in such a mess with no strong leader to lead the state. So the investors are varied about investing in Karnataka; so the development in the state takes a back seat. Who ll suffer? Its us with no new jobs, no new openings.
So think a little about it before just going to the streets with Anna masks and caps. It would be nicer if TEAM ANNA and THE PANEL set for implementing the bill talks on the table, come to a negotiation and pass the bill. Getting PMO included and everything can be made through amendments later on as and when things start shaping up.
I hope I haven't offended any one, this is my view on the entire scenario after looking at the youth who don't really know much about the bill making so much noise just to be on TV or more so like being cool(At times I could see the Indian Flag being on the ground and people walking on it shouting Anna slogans, Is this y he is fasting?). I might be wrong or judgmental but its my view.
THE END
