FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION

While the entire nation was refusing to come out of the Cricket fever and were basking in the glory of MSD and his boys, here comes a breeze called Anna Hazare mentioning strongly, something about the LOKPAL bill which was not known to many of the citizens of this country, the breeze soon turned into gusty wind and now threatens to turn into storm. While the Government is still busy finding out the ways and means to mellow down the entire agitation, but has not found any success . What is interesting here is why the government is so reluctant to pass the Lokpal bill which puts the Indian citizens rights , right in front and gives him access to crack down the corrupt politicians and bureaucrats, or again these corrupt politicians and bureaucrats are way important than all the Indian citizens, who in fact have voted them to power ? We have probably seen the worst of the scams hitting our faces in last 6 months or so, be it the CWG, 2-G, the governments inefficiency to control the rising food and essential commodities price rise. Its more than 50 hours a 72 year old social activist is fighting for the cause and the authorities are just refusing to move a bit from there stand. The entire nation is today supporting the agitation, today as a growing economy we are fortunate that we are not facing problem on the economic front, unlike our neighbouring countries. India is looked upon as promising Asian economy. While we are doing well on these fronts but the corruption issue has always been a hanging sword on our neck ( thanks to the politicians who has an unbelievable and unending hunger for money). All these politicians or their aide are held for some scam or other and the trial begins, what happens after that no one knows about it, no single official who has been named in the scam has been punished, what happens to all the money that he has pocketed, is it not the country's money which has gone to wrong pocket in wrong way. The only option today in front of the Sonia Government ( am forced to write Sonia government, as all the decisions are taken by her) is to accept the demands keeping it's false ego aside and set an example. It also needs to book all those who has symphonised the public fund and punish them at the earliest ( which means within 3-4 months and not in 5-6 years). We need more Anna Hazare today who still has the nations interest well above personal interest. Salute to the civil society protestor, the entire nation is definitely with you
