Gandhi topi is
again on the streets & this time with a conviction to not let the government
eludes the anti-corruption bill, not let the government makes any rhetoric
concoction to turn the bow altogether otherwise. This time it might be a
prolonged journey for the team Anna to bring the Jan Lokpal Bill on table but capitulation would not be the
conclusion to this discourse.
Team Anna members have started their Anshan (fast) from today (25th July 2012) & have given an ultimatum of 3 days to the government to work upon the matter. And, if after the completion of the ultimatum period government wouldn’t behave in this regard, Anna would also take a leap to the Anshan.
Albeit, everyone is amid the
confusion (including me) if this Jan
Lokpal Bill would ever come on table & if, however, it would come to
the table, would it work, would it eradicate the corruption altogether; but one thing is sure that everyone wants it get
worked. How far would this Anshan go
& how prolonged would be this fight; one may not prejudice, on the basis of
number of people gathered on the ground, this time unlike it had always been
the backing to decide the parameter of success of the anti-corruption fight.
If team Anna, as it has said, would
not succumbed to the government’s tactics & would be firm to its path to
fight the misdemeanor, the aam-junta
who has still been refraining to come to the ground would come to the floor
& the toll would definitely rise towards upward motion. People would, for
sure, get sensitive toward the crusader of this journey against the corruption
who leaves no stone unturned to bring the perpetrators to justice. Despite
being an eighty plus man, he comes back with that vigor & valor again &
again to make us realize that we may not & should not move forward with this
illicit criterion of working.
Though people still think that it may not cure
the widespread epidemic as it would be handled by the same people (like us) who
have been pocketing bribes, but even then, it brings the hope to alleviate the
germ. It’s not like it is the fool-proof strategy to mar the corruption system
but it would, at least, reduce the corruption level from the bottom. When it
would be levied as a law people, who have been giving & taking bribes for
college admissions & other such procedures to get work done, would abstain
themselves while getting embraced to the system as everyone has not the power
at their back to provide them bail.
Let’s hope for the best to come
& work toward this motion at our own end with not abetting the bribery
system & move on our path of fair & justice with conviction.
