Anna Hazare announces his fast unto death against corruption from 5th March
Anna Hazare has given an ultimatum to the Prime Minister that if the government does not enact a strong anti-corruption law on the lines of “Jan Lokpal Bill” (To know what is Jan Lokpal Bill, see overleaf), he will go on an indefinite fast from 5th April 2011.
On 1st December 2010, Anna Hazare, along with Swami Ramdev, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, ---Kiran Bedi, Swami Agnivesh, Arvind Kejriwal and others, wrote to the Prime Minister to enact a strong law against corruption.
Anna Hazare was a soldier in Indian Army in 1963. In Indo Pak war in 1965, his entire unit died. He was the lone survivor. He was also hit by a bullet but he survived. An ardent follower of Swami Vivekanand, he thought that he had got a second life, which he ought to dedicate to the society. He continued in army for the next 13 years, after which he came to Ralegan Siddhi in Ahmednagar District in Maharashtra. He started living in a temple there and since then he has been living in the same temple. He has not gone back to his family so much so that he does not even know the names of the children of his brothers. He is still a bachelor. Barring a few books and a few clothes, he has no possessions and no bank balance. He receives Rs 6000 per month pension which also he gives away for social causes. He is truly modern Mahatama Gandhi (excluding the illicit experiment of celibacy and misguided appeasement of Muslims*).
Some of Anna’s achievements so far: ......................
Ralegan Siddhi was a completely dry and barren area. Taking people along and by doing watershed, he has transformed it into a green and food surplus village. Earlier, a hotbed of alcoholism, today no one in the village drinks. From late eighties, he started raising his voice against corruption. He has undergone long fasts on several occasions to force the governments, and the governments had to actually budge. Due to his efforts, more than 400 officers and six ministers of Maharashtra Government were removed from their jobs. He has been instrumental in forcing Maharashtra government to pass seven laws including the historic Maharashtra RTI Act. In 2006, when government of India tried to amend the Central RTI Act, he again went on an indefinite fast and forced the Indian government to withdraw its proposal.

Anna’s appeal to the people:
“When I sit on fast on 5th April, I urge my fellow countrymen to
Join me in fasting for one, two, three or whatever number of days you can comfortably fast.
Along with fast, please pray to God (whoever you believe in) for better and corruption free India. Collective prayers from all the people of India would definitely have a huge impact.
Write an impassioned plea to our Prime Minister that we look upon him to pass “Jan Lokpal Bill”, else we will be compelled not to vote for his party in next elections.
Remain calm and peaceful and develop the courage to go to jail, if required, in this next freedom movement.

Anna hajare is the product of chief minister of maharashtra
ReplyDeleteLate shri Sudhakar Rao Naik,(1993)who appreciated work of Anna, and gave him wide publicity for his work in ralegan siddhi, It is Indian mentality to glorify public personalities, Many known personalities were attracted towards Anna but soon they realized the reality and left his camp, today he is alone,with few blind followers, fighting with Central govt is not easy task,
If anna hajare can bend and rule the country then what is the use of Parliament and govt machinery !
YADA YADA HI DHARMASYE, GLANI BHAVATI BHARATA, ABHYUDHAMAM ADHARMASYA, TADHATAMAYE SUJAHMAMYAHAM. Whenever sinners starts thriving on Earth, God reborn as Rama, Krishna, Mahatma Gandhi, Jay Prakash Narayan, Vinoba Bhave, Anna Hazare etc...and protects Human Beings. It's duty of all Indians to stand up against Sinners and Corrupts and support Anna Hazare for Lokpal Bill. BHARAT MATA ki JAI.
ReplyDeletewe have won world cup and specially the young and youth approach has done it for us.....we see MS Dhoni as our role model....we find strokes of god in sachin's play...we find the young virat as a future of bright cricket team.....
ReplyDeleteBut do we have some one as young as dynamic and as enthusiastic person who can ward off corruption....Instead we have this 71 years old ANNA HAZARE who can just walk barely but determined to do acts of brave alone sitting for common man....
this is where we lack when it comes to initiate a campaign against a powerful enemy.....can we young and youth of nation stand with this bravehearted man as support and fight for our second freedom what ANNA calls it?
He likes to be called "Fakir" and stays in 10" by 10" spartan room attached to Yadavbaba temple in ahmednagar's ralegaon siddhi village...110 km away from pune...
but when this 71 year old kisan baburao hazare alias anna starts an agitation,every leader from mumbai to delhi sits up and takes notice....
this anna is one single man who can mobilise a common man across the country n shake the governments...
