Flip side of Anna movement

On balance I think his movement has been more than a success in exposing the deficiencies of our system!

I agree. But he needs some break. The fight is long. The fast should be ended. Thew movement is now likely to turn ugly shape. A supporter attempted self molestation that annoyed anna. Also there are reports of more traffic violation and eve teasing. This is natural as the crowds in Ram Leela ground are also corrupt persons in business and offices.

I too agree that his message has been put across well all over and it's time to redraw his stretegies!

The Union Government was scared of the Anna movement. But continuous fast and agitation has made this routine. The parliament has also stared discussion. This could be appropriate time to end fast. Swami Agnivesh favors this. But Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi are adamant and not bothered about Anna's survival and health.

Rahul Gandhi has also asserted that mere passing the bill will not end corruption. The Team anna should give some breathing space not only to Government but also themselves. The unsocial elements are now entering the agitation and more such events like hooliganism and drunkenness cannot be ruled out.

As I pointed out several times that the present crisis is the result of systematic neglect of this issue over several decades and government of all hues let the country and its people down and used every trick and pretext to prevent the passage of a Lok Pal Bill.Now Mr. Hazare having successfully highlighted this issue should relent and give up his fast and plan his next move>

this movement bring some problem but people does not forget that this is for aginst corruption.

The Anna team is turning very obstinate and even loses all sense of decorum. No surprise, saner elements in the team namely swami agnivesh and Santosh Hegde have distanced themselves from the team. Kiran Bedi and Om Puri ridiculed the members of parliament and ministers in very objectionable way. Kiran Bedi has even no elementary decency. How can government even negotiate with such elements.

No doubt, anna is in grip of such elements. In fact, core members of anna team are abetting suicide by anna.

Should anti Hazare protesters be denied their democratic right? The authorities think so. The democratic rights are available only to the bigger crowd pullers. Big fish can swallow the small. similarly, big protester will eliinate the small.

In a democracy that's painfully true - bigger fish do swallow the smaller ones!!

Big fish swallows the smaller one. This is law of nature. If this law is allowed, we need no law. People will follow this by instinct. We have age old proverb- Jiski lathi uski bhains- (One with big stick owns the buffalo).

Law is framed for regulating society in a way that the natural law of big fish swallowing the small one is checked.

Anna says he will not join politics. what else is he doing. If one indulges in politics, he is politician. what ana is doing is very much politics. Contesting elections is not the only political activity. even many political party leaders and activists do not contest elections. saying no to politics while campaigning for enacting law and electoral reform is like a whore talking chastity

As far as I understand, Anna movement was a conspiracy against Rahul Gandhi. They want to mare his reputation after mahapanchayat.
Regarding other anti social activities, loafars and eve-teasers would never change. They treat women as animals. They wait for situation to do so. And may be they want to make people hate the government and security system. This is politics.

I disagree! Asking for Lokpal bill has nothing to do with Rahul Gandhi. This bill has been brought into discussions time and again and each time even though approved by all had been rejected in the Rajya sabha by ruling party, which usually always was congress.

As regards with all the other antisocial activities such as eve teasing mainly, New Delhi is supposed to the be doing the honors of topping these heinous acts against women in the entire country. Imagine the irony of it, NEW DELHI - the capital of the country and the seat of the ultimate power in India, ruled by Congress, whose brand ambassador or crown prince is Rahul Gandhi! what is he or his party members is doing to stop this right under their noses?? Or is it that these activities are carried out by their own goons!

It is very wrong to now demand that Anna Hazare should now stand up against all of it! Stop maligning someone like him who has the guts to stand up and demand an end to the circus that has been going on all these years!

For all those love Rahul Gandhi merely for his good looks and charming smile should do better to know more about him - an ex-drug addict and a CITIZEN OF ITALY NOT INDIA, caught a couple of years back at an American airport with his Columbian girlfriend trying to smuggle more than a 100,000 dollars in cash! WHY THE HELL IS HE BEING PROJECTED AS A LEADER?? :angry: :angry: :angry:

Anna movement is definitely not against Rahul Gandhi. However this is not genuine. Those participating in his movement are thoroughly corrupt, black marketeers, economic offenders. even the school managers who conduct contract mass copying in Board Examination participated in so called anti corruption movement.

Thanks for making me understand this. I have written what I read in comments and articles. I apologise.

Anna Hazare's movement against the all-pervasive corruption in public life.

Hey Devyani, you don't have to apologize. I just wanted to point out how successfully Rahul Gandhi is being projected as a future PM in spite of so many irregularities in his character and in his means to achieve the top position. Whereas Anna movement has simply rocked people off of feet and awoken them to do something about the corruption. Or else that time is not far when we will be going the way that many African countries are going!

I congratulate you on writing your views boldly. There is nothing to apologize about. It is not necessary that we always agree with each other. But every one should give views freely, honestly and fearlessly without causing needless hurt to others.

Anna Hazare is in combative mood. Now he openly opposes Congress and his links with BJP are more open. He has no patience to wait for parliamentary process for enactment of Lok Pal Bill. No doubt, team Anna is negative minded and has no faith in democratic and constitutional process.

On the othe hand, Rahul Gandhi is showing more maturity. He has well commented that corruption can be fought only constitutionally and within frame work of constitution. The youth intending to fight corruption and assert their democratic rights and participation should better join active politics rather than being part of anarchist anna mob.
