“Govt’s msg, “If u raise ur voice against corruption, we will crush u” Protest with Anna Hazare. Organize group fasts n prayers. 8 June 9 am. Pl fwd2all”
I got this text message from India against Corruption movement today evening. After that only I came to know that Anna is going to fast again on June 8th near Raj Bhavan, New Delhi. I was literally surprised first as soon as seeing this message. The reason is, I trusted my Indian Government. Yes, from heart I trusted my country’s government and I really hoped that they will take steps against corruption after Anna Hazare’s first hunger strike stint and Baba Ramdev’s fasting.
After the midnight crackdown of Ramdev’s fast Anna hazare had raised his concerns towards Indian Democracy and the government’s inhuman behavior. Anna also added that he and other members of Lokpal drafting panel will boycott June 6 meeting with government. He also warned the government that if it does not take a lesson, a bigger agitation will be launched.
"What the government has done is a blot on democracy. There was no need for the Government to supress this movement and attack those protesting at midnight. It was not right to lathicharge the people at midnight Small children and women were brutally assaulted. The entire country should stand up as one and protest against this brutal and inhuman action," said Hazare.
So, the result is Anna Hazare is going to launch his hunger strike battle against corruption tomorrow (June 8) at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. This time much more people are expected to support Anna Hazare than the number of people supported for his previous hunger strike for the cause. I hope at least this time a solution will be born for drafting the Lokpal Bill. After all this is every ordinary Indian’s dream.
