अपने अन्दर के बच्चे को बाहर आने दीजिये

भ्रष्टाचार का वृक्ष देश की प्रगति के रास्ते में अवरोध बन कर पड़ा है. सब देख रहे हैं, कोई उसे रास्ते से हटाने को आगे नहीं आ रहा. आप अगर डरते हैं तब अपने अन्दर के बच्चे को बाहर आने दीजिये. वह बच्चा आप को रास्ता दिखायेगा.

India Against Corruption - Rallies across India

मजबूर प्रधानमंत्री जनता को गुमराह कर रहे हैं ?

प्रति एमपी दिए थे दस-दस लाख, तब बची थी मनमोहन जी की सरकार, विकीलीक्स का खुलासा. प्रधानमंत्री ने कर दिया साफ़ इनकार. न मैंने, न मेरी सरकार के किसी सदस्य ने, न मेरी पार्टी कांग्रेस के किसी सदस्य ने, कोई गलत काम किया सरकार बचाने के लिए. दो बाते हैं, पहली, प्रधानमंत्री सरकार बचाने के लिए एमपी खरीदना गलत नहीं मानते; दूसरी, प्रधानमंत्री सदन और जनता को गुमराह कर रहे हैं. विकीलीक्स के असान्जे ने कहा है की प्रधानमंत्री लोगों को गुमराह कर रहे हैं. उनका कहना है कि विकीलीक्स के केबल्स बिलकुल सही हैं.

कोई कुछ भी कहे, भारत की जनता का एक बहुत बड़ा वर्ग यह मानता है कि प्रधानमंत्री लोगों को गुमराह कर रहे हैं, एमपी खरीदे गए थे, यह एक सच्चाई है.

Joint Statement on Jan Lokpal Bill

On 11th March 2011, there was a meeting at India Islamic Center of leaders of some political parties. After the meeting these leaders issued a joint statement.
Joint Statement on Jan Lokpal Bill
"At a time when the whole country is bleeding with corruption, enactment of a strong and effective anti corruption law is very critical. Jan Lokpal Bill drafted by civil society, if enacted, could go a long way in checking corruption. We sincerely urge the government to take immediate steps to enact this law. If this law is brought in parliament, our party will fully support it.
Anna Hazare, a 78 year old social activist has announced an indefinite fast from 5th April if the government doesn’t take concrete steps to enact this law. We sincerely urge the government to take all steps necessary to prevent Anna from going on indefinite fast.
The Govt. should set up a joint committee of citizens and Govt. to draft the Lokpal Bill.”

This was signed by : HD Dewe Gowda, Maysura Reddy of Telugu Desam Party, Sudhakara Reddy and AB Baradhan of CPI, Jayant Chaudhary of Rashtriya Lokdal, Kavita Krishnan of CPI (ML), Abani Roy (RSP) Bhupinder singh of BJP supported the Bill, but as he was not senior enough, he said he will consult his seniors and sign.

Dr Kiran Bedi on Fight Against Corruption

Can you volunteer ???

Read this e-mail, think and take a decision:

"Dear friend,

Anna Hazare has announced his fast unto death to pressurize government into enacting Jan Lokpal Bill. His fast starts from 5th April. You could watch a very inspiring film on his fast at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxksAURdwTI

After his call, Anna has been invited for talks by the Prime Minister. He will be meeting the Prime Minister on Monday along with other representatives of India Against Corruption.

However, according to him, the movement should continue till such time the government actually enacts the law. There should be no let up in our activities.

To mobilize masses and create awareness about Anna’s fast, would you be able to volunteer and spare time? We desperately need everyone to spare some time. It is almost now or never.

Kindly join us for planning meeting on Monday at 6 pm at Chetnalaya, 9 Bhai Veer Singh Marg, near Gol Dak Khana, New Delhi.

Yours sincerely

Aswathi Muralidharan

Ph: 9718500606"

राष्ट्रभक्ति

राष्ट्रभक्त ये करे पुकार.
अब नहीं सहेंगे भ्रष्टाचार.
किरण तुम्ही हो इस देश की आशा.
अन्ना रचेंगे एक नया इतिहास.
अग्निवेश के जब वो बाण चलेंगे.
राष्ट्रभक्त हुंकार भरेंगे.
अरविन्द की होगी पूरी अभिलाषा.
हर देशभक्त तो यही है चाहता.
मोहन जी मत तुम घबराना,
मात्रभूमि पर मर मिट जाना.
बाबा जी का हो जो आशीर्वाद,
देश सदा रहे जिंदाबाद,
जिंदाबाद , जिंदाबाद.

संगीता चावला.

क्या फायदा ऐसे लोकायुक्त का ???

दिल्ली के लोकायुक्त, जस्टिस मनमोहन सरीन ने दिल्ली सरकार में मंत्री राज कुमार चौहान को पद से हटाने की सिफारिश की है. लोकायुक्त ने इस मंत्री को एक जन अधिकारी द्वारा किये गए घोर दुराचार का दोषी पाया, लेकिन सरकार इस भ्रष्ट मंत्री को उस के पद से नहीं हटा रही है. मेगासेसे अवार्ड से सम्मानित एवं भ्रष्टाचार के विरुद्ध संघर्ष कर रहे श्री अरविन्द केजरीवाल ने इस बात के लिए सरकार की आलोचना की है. उन्होंने कहा, वर्तमान कानून में लोकायुक्त केवल सिफारिश कर सकते हैं, उस पर कार्यवाही करना या न करना सरकार के हाथ में है. ऐसे शक्ति-हीन लोकायुक्त के होने या न होने से कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता. इस जांच के दौरान राज बब्बर एम् पी और एमसीडी के एक भूतपूर्व पार्षद का नाम भी सामने आया पर अधिकार-हीन लोकायुक्त उनके खिलाफ जांच शुरू नहीं सर सके. जन लोकपाल बिल के कानून बन्ने पर लोकायुक्त स्वयं, किसी से आज्ञा लिए बिना, ऐसी जांच शुरू कर सकते हैं. अब यह बहुत जरूरी हो गया है की जन लोकायुक्त बिल को ही कानून बनाया जाए.

जन लोकपाल और जन लोकायुक्त बिलों को कानून बनाने के लिए जन-संघर्ष जारी है, उसे और मजबूत बनाना होगा.  हर नागरिक को इस दूसरी आजादी की लड़ाई में शामिल हो जाना चाहिए. 

Anna Hazare fasts unto death against corruption

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 happen! We have been betrayed by those that are leading us!

When & Where?

From 5th April at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi.

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?

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.

• 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.

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)
