WHY YOU SHOULD CARE?
For about 42 years, successive governments have failed to pass the Lokpal Bill that will reduce corruption by allowing common people like us a chance to file complaints of corruption against the judiciary, legislature and the executive. This means even the prime minister is not above board. It is important that citizens participate in the drafting of the bill and not leave it to the Centre, which may have vested interests. As Hazare said to the government, "You are sevaks, the people are the maaliks."
WHAT WILL LOKPAL BILL HAVE FOR YOU ?
1. Lokpal will have powers to initiate suo moto action or receive complaints of corruption from the general public.
2. Lokpal will be much more than an Advisory Body. It should be granted powers to initiate Prosecution against anyone found guilty.
3. Lokpal will have police powers. To say that it will be able to register FIRs.
4. Lokpal and anti corruption wing of CBI will be one Independent body.
5. The punishment should be minimum 5 years and maximum up-to life imprisonment.
Can a fast-unto-death by a 73-year-old lead to a historic step towards abolishing corruption in government offices? We believe it can.
Corruption in India has made global headlines more frequently than ever in the last year. Anna Hazare's initiative, therefore, comes at a time when our country's image has taken a beating. With the tabling of an effective Lokpal bill, India can well be on its way to salvaging its reputation.
Let us all raise our voices in support for a movement that will bring in transparency
This movement has also been joined by many people providing their suppport in Internet social media such as twitter and facebook. Many celebrities like Shekhar Kapur, Siddharth Narayan, Anupam Kher, Madhur Bhandarkar, Pritish Nandy, Prakash Raj, Aamir Khan showed their public support and well as Activists - Swami Ramdeo Baba, Swami Agnivesh.
Anna Hazare started his "Fast until Death" at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, stating "I will fast until Jan Lokpal Bill is passed."
Day 2 Response - Saharad Pawar offered to quit GoM reviewing the Janlokpal bill.
