A mahatma announces fast unto death .
Anna Hazare has given an ultimatum to the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan
Singh to enact stringent anti-corruption law – the peoples “Jan Lokpal
Bill”! Jail to the corrupt must become a reality! We have been betrayed
by those that are leading us!
When & Where?
From 5th April at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi and hundreds of cities in India and Abroad
Who is Anna Hazare?
A soldier, lone survivor in his unit in 1965 Indo-Pak war, Anna
dedicated his life to the well-being of society. A bachelor, an ascetic,
he has no possessions, no bank balance and lives in a temple. He is
a living Mahatma Gandhi!
In Maharashtra, Anna has single handedly transformed barren and dry
regions into green and food surplus areas. He has fasted unto death
on several earlier occasions. He forced the Maharashtra government
to dismiss the corrupt - 6 ministers and 400 officers. Due to his
fast, the govt enacted the 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 not to amend RTI Act.
Leaders, organizations and the common man from across India will be
with him. This is a do or die moment – let us make it happen!
Across India, join Swami Ramdev, Sri Sri Ravishankar, Swami Agnivesh,
Arch Bishop Vincent Concessao, Mahmood A Madani, Kiran Bedi, J M Lyngdoh,
Shanti Bhushan, Prashant Bhushan, Arvind Kejriwal, Mufti Shamoom Qasmi,
Mallika Sarabhai, Arun Bhatia, Sunita Godara, All India Bank Employees
Federation, PAN IIT Alumni Association, Common Cause and many other
prominent organizations and leaders, as India comes out on the streets!
100+ CITIES WILL RALLY BEHIND ANNA!
This is a defining moment for India that can give our children a better
future! Let us unite and stand by him! Thousands will be there to support
him. Will you be there? Confirm your participation here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=197559453604800

Anna’s appeal to the people:
When I sit on fast from 5 April, I urge my fellow countrymen to
Join me in fasting for one, two, three or whatever number of days
you can comfortably fast
long 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.
If possible, come and stay with Anna at Jantar Mantar for a few days
from April 5th.

Salient
features of Jan Lokpal Bill
Drafted by Justice Santosh Hegde, Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal,
this Bill has been refined on the basis of feedback received from
public on website and after series of public consultations. It has
also been vetted by and is supported by Shanti Bhushan, J M Lyngdoh,
Kiran Bedi, Anna Hazare etc. It was sent to the PM and all CMs on
1st December.However, there is no response.
1.
An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state
will be set up
2. Like Supreme Court and Election Commission, they will be completely
independent of the governments. No minister or bureaucrat will be
able to influence their investigations.
3. Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore:
Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year.
Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician,
officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.
4. The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be
recovered at the time of conviction.
5. How will it help a common citizen: If any work of any citizen is
not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will
impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as
compensation to the complainant.
6. So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or
voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your
case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal
will have to get it done in a month’s time. You could also report
any case of corruption to Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor
quality roads been constructed or panchayat funds being siphoned off.
Lokpal will have to complete its investigations in a year, trial will
be over in next one year and the guilty will go to jail within two
years.
7. But won’t the government appoint corrupt and weak people as Lokpal
members? That won’t be possible because its members will be selected
by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians,
through a completely transparent and participatory process.
8. What if some officer in Lokpal becomes corrupt? The entire functioning
of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint
against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer
dismissed within two months.
9. What will happen to existing anti-corruption agencies? CVC, departmental
vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged into Lokpal.
Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to independently investigate
and prosecute any officer, judge or politician.
JAN LOKPAL BILL will act as deterrent and instill fear against corruption
(This movement is neither affiliated nor aligned to any political
party)
