Fast and agitation is also democratic method but too much agitation and continuing this indefinitely even after purpose is over cannot be supported.
Anna Hazare rightly awakened the entire nation and government through fast. The government agreed and accepted the demand. The Lok Pal Bill was introduced in parliament accepting many suggestions of Hazare group. The parliamentary process is on. The members of parliament may pass the bill as it is, amend or reject it. In this connection, it is worth recall that Lok Pal Bill was presented during Janata Party rule by Shanti Bhushan, then law minister and now member of Hazare team. Then bill was passed by Lok Sabha but failed in Rajya Sabha. Since then, the controversy is not over.
Let the parliament do its job. It is not proper to continue agitation in view of the bill having been presented in parliament.
Agitation is like music of sitar. If you stretch the strings, you get music. If you stretch the strings too much, Sitar will be broken.

Nice example. good comments.
It is interesting how Hazare team bargained hard with Delhi police for venue and duration of fast. Now the fast is 'for indefinite period' and not unto death, which would be an offence under IPC.
I think PM must tell tell the process to proceed with this issues.
Because it is now necessary to deal hard with this kind of party . And at last PM MUST say as he said.--->"mai majboor hu"
All agree that Lok pal bill can be passed in parliament. By agitation or hunger strike, the message has been given to parliament. The members of parliament belonging to opposition parties also believe in strong Lok Pal Bill. So, now the agitation should end or at least be postponed for some time and allow sufficient time to parliament to discuss and pass the bill. The bill is to be discussed and passed by both houses of parliament. This will take time.
Prime Minister has favored strong Lok pal Bill and needs appropriate time to get the bill discussed and passed in both houses of parliament. It will be highly inappropriate to continue agitation in view of this.
One good affect of anna movement is that Baboos have also become cautious and resolved that they would remove the feeling that nothing works without bribe.
Standing committee of parliament has asked for public views on Lok Pal Bill. an advertisement has been inserted. So, some of Boddunan members expert on legal drafts, can send their suggestions.
It is reported that anna agitation is turning in nuisance. They ride buses without paying fare and also involved in eve teasing. Kejriwal has denied charges of hooliganism. But is this credible. The anna supporters are also from the same corrupt society. They work in offices as baboo, shop keepers or just students. If the agitation continues long, hooliganism will increase and people will definitely lose sympathy.
Government has called an all party meeting for Lok pal Bill. A wider consensus among parties is necessary for the enactment. The goverment believes that the differences between government and anna team are on methodology and not contents.
As there is unit of purpose and no real dispute, fast and agitation must end soon.
Anna supporters are now getting violent. Anna has asked them not to be violent. But anna shold advise his lieutenants like Kejriwal to restrain themselves. We have parliamentary democratic system based on party system. This is representational democracy and not direct like Denmark. This is natural as we are too vast and too big. It is no use mobbing the MPs for supporting the anna Bill when the MPs have to go by their party organization. Team anna is nothing but a group of lawlessness hooligans and anarchists.
If some one does not follow constitution and law and blackmails by fast and collecting mob, he is not supportable. The anna team are not more honest than others. They have no business to frame law and compel parliament to do what they dictate. Anyone can raise patriotic slogans and play songs. This is just a way to emotionally blindfold people and brainwash them. Let us not be brainwashed.
