Recent India.

It is 11.40 pm In India, next day after the 65th independence day. Very important event is happening in capital Delhi and all over the country. Since some year India is facing the evil of corruption by politicians and people at high places. Some of them are 2-G scam, Common Wealth Game scam and others. Accused behind the jail were once ministers in present government. They are in jail because there was no other option remained open for their most corrupted Godfathers. People were watching it helplessly waiting for a ‘leader’ to follow. They find ‘Anna hazare’ aged 74 unmarried, saint like person. Anna is pure Gandhian and has won many victories over unjust/corruption cases by nonviolence movement He can fast for a long period to prove his point when he is true. He started anti corruption movement couple of years back. His main agenda is to place a ‘Lokpal’  a citizen’s ombudsman over all government and political person and even for judiciary to fight against corruption. Government had taken him lightly. He gave an ultimatum until today 16th Aug 2011 to accept his demand or he will start fasting to death. People of India supported him full heartedly. Realizing the danger, our democratic government arrested him early in the morning today and sent him to ‘Tihad Prison’ and put him in the cell with other criminals. People supporting him gathered in large numbers on streets and outside the prison. Almost in all cities Marches and rallies took place. For whole day he was in prison with his seven followers, some of them are IPS officers. When government realized that this will not work, agrees to release him. But Anna is Anna, he refused to get out of prison and demanded that if they want him to be released he will only go to the place, previously decided ‘J.P. Square’ and will continue his fast. Till now no decision has been taken, but he has united people of India in such a big way that government has no other option opened. Government’s argument is that placing a ‘Lokpal’ over the elected assembly will destruct the structure of democracy, and right to form any rules & regulations’ must be in domain of the parliament. It may be true but what other option people have when it clearly seems that the system is not working.
