10 things to know about Anna Hazare 'n
Jan Lok Pal Bill.. !
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 Jan Lokpal 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 JAN LOKPAL 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
