Anna Hazare played an exemplary role in highlighting corruption and need for mechanism to lodge complaints on corruption. Ultimately, there were some discussions and a Lok pal Bill has been presented in parliament. Now the Bill is parliament's property. Role of Anna Hazare is over. It makes no sense to restart the campaign.
Corruption is deep rooted evil. It cannot be said there presently there is no mechanism to fight corruption. In fact, most people are happy to bribe govt. officials for getting undue favors. Overwhelming majority of our people employed/ self employed in industry, commerce, government- center or states indulge in corruption for personal benefit. There is already mechanism for lodging complaints. The institution of Lok pal will also consist of govt officials, retired judges etc.
It is okay to fight corruption but this is not freedom struggle. Struggle against whom? who are honest? In fact, even Anna Hazare team consists of advocates, ex police officers and film actors who are known for indulging in various financial irregularities.

In spite of Lok Pal Bill having been tabled in parliament, Anna Hazare and tam are in combative mood. I wonder if Hazare is sure that his followers are dead honest and they never indulge in corruption of any kind. It also appears that the Hazare team believes that whosoever disagrees with them is corrupt whereas they alone are honest.
