Anna Hazare’s Crusade


Yesterday while watching supporters of Hazare’s crusade against corruption outside Tihar Jail at 11 pm, candle light march, banners reading “Anna we are with you”, I was pleased to see the people converged to pillar a cause which, if succeeded, can change the portrait of the Indian economy to a large extent. Arresting Anna was an outrageous act done by the Government. But hearing Nation’s voice heeding his call to action was a blow up to Congress face. Slogans of “JAI HO” rejoiced my heart and I thought of Gandhi Ji. It appeared as if Gandhi Ji is back with his eternal and ceaseless spirit of making the Nation free from Corruption. His fight for demand of tough laws against corruption & fast onto death movement reminded me of Gandhi ji’s Quit India, Salt Satyagrah and Civil Disobedience movements where he did not surrendered but the Britishers laid down their arms in front of his non-violent but powerful weapon. Gandhi Ji’s spirit has entered Hazare. He is as ceaseless, as honest, as charming, as non-violent and virtuous as Mahatma Gandhi was.

Let us all come out in support of this veteran social activist for passing of “Jan Lok Pal” bill which if enacted would create an effective deterrence against corruption in India.

JAI HO…
