Kisan Baburao Hazare, you are weakening the democracy!!!

 
Anna Hazare, I, as an Indian citizen, do agree, accept, support and appreciate your idea to create a stringent Lokpal bill.  I agreed, accepted, supported and appreciated your  'civil disobedience' until the government  introduced the bill in the parliament. I do not accept or support your adamant attitude of defining the bill in your own way because it is now in the parliament for the consideration of the original ‘representatives of the civil society’. First of all I want to make it clear for why I do not support your present activities.

1)      You are not the real representative of the civil society.
2)      It is  unconstitutional (at least as per my knowledge) of demanding changes in a bill that is under consideration of the parliament.
3)      You are questioning the basics of parliamentary democracy.
4)      You are demanding a stringent law but violating the law.
5)      You are questioning the sovereignty of the parliament to legislate.
6)      Including prime minister will lead anarchy.
7)      Above all, you just want name and fame.

Anna Hazare, you are not the real representative of the civil society.

You may be wondering why I  tell that you are not the real representative of the civil society. Here my question is ‘who elected you as the representative of civil society?’ All of a sudden, you have staged a ‘Satyagraha’ in the national capital, you and your 'so-called' team discussed amongst yourselves and decided yourself as the civil society representative and started holding discussion with the government. At least you should have conducted a national wide referendum, in that (referendum) you could have proposed a panel. You did not do that.

So, you are only the ‘self proclaimed representatives of the civil society’. The real civil society representatives are the MP’s of Lok Sabha.

Now the bill is under their consideration.

If you want to be the real representative of the civil society, you should have contested and won from a lok sabha constituency.

Anna Hazare, it is not fair of asking changes of a bill that is under consideration of the parliament

It is not at all fair in asking amendments on a bill that is under consideration of parliament. You are destabilizing the parliamentary democracy.

Do you think all the parliamentarians are idiots, corrupt and criminals? Do you doubt their ability to formulate an effective lokpal? Then it is OUR/ fault. You and I are responsible for this situation because we are the voters. We should not have elected them. In this situation, you and I need to fight against ourselves. Not against the democracy.
I think you do not have any doubt that the best social order in the world today is democracy and at the heart of  democracy is the Parliament and people like me and you are the blood and vein. When you are asking for a change in the proposed bill, that is now the property of parliament, you are indirectly showing your quest of being a super power. You are knowingly or unknowingly trying to demolish the democracy. 

I am not against your right to protest as well as lead a mass agitation for a cause. What I want to tell you is, you have already achieved the goal of the mass agitation.

You may be motivated by the overwhelming support form the people of India. That is actually annoying me. Nazism and Fascism also got such support from the people at the beginning.

Anna Hazare, You are demanding a stringent law but violating the law

The congress party has raised questions against your credibility. I just ignore those allegations because I am sure that you are a true Gandhian you can not be a corrupt. It is the stupid culture of congress. But, Hazare, I have some doubts.

1.      Why do you want to violate the law enforced by the police in the capital?
2.      Why are you so adamant that you will stage the Satyagraha only in national capital?
3.      Why can’t you stage your protest in ‘Ralegan Siddhi’ or even in ‘Bhingar’. These places are also part of India. Gandhiji started Salt Satyagraha not in the national capital. Dandi is a small village but it redefined the nation’s fate.

Anna Hazare, including PM under lokpal will lead to anarchy

Inclusion of the Indian prime minister in the Lokpal will lead to frequent elections in India. The best way to throw out a government from office will be not ‘No confidence motion’ but to JUST shoot some allegations against the prime minister. In the wake of morality, the Prime minister will resign thereby the government will dissolve. So, I support the government’s stand over the exclusion of PM. However, the former PMs should come under Lokpal whereas the incumbent prime minister should not come under Lokpal.

Anna Hazare, you just want name and fame. Nothing else

Anna Hazare, you just want name and fame, nothing else. That is why you are doing all these activities. And I really doubt that whether you are puppet of external  interests.
Unfortunately, we do not have a strong government.

Note: I am not against Anna Hazare or Jan Lokpal. My concern is only about democracy.

  5. Really interesting and well said. I think many of the participants of the anti corruption movement might not have been thought about it. Yes , majority of the 1.2 billion Indian population are favour of enacting this bill as it can bring about a significant change. However, I am not agreeing with any movement that destabilize parliamentary democracy. so pls publish this in Facebook rather than being a post in blog page So that everyone can read this

  12. "Ignorance is not a crime but indifference is" these words are for you JOBIN.. what ever he is doing.. he is doing it for a good cause... name and fame is just a part of it. you know the problem with us (indians)?we are big time critics... we are good in finding the drawbacks first.. according to me whoever fights for a good reason is a "HERO".. and he's not doing this for his personal needs.. he is doing it for the society so is a representative of the civil society... "i'm not blaming you Jobin, each and every one have their own perception.. and your's is in this way and i do appreciate it and no offense i just shared my perception..".. :)

  13. Great article,
    to the critics, like Mahi and Abhish, how can a 9 member lokpal solve all the problems of corruption in this country, most of the corruption (that affect common man) is in the lower levels, first step is to stop those, for that strengthening the rule of law is the only option, a single lokpal bill will not be able to look into all over the country - first strengthen/implement properly the rule of law
    Big-time scams like 2G, Fodder, Bofors etc. can be stopped by a lokpal bill so it should be welcomed,
    But the MP's have to decide this within the parliament,
    If a person says that MP's are all wrong doers I just pity him/her (anna shanthi and khajrewal is doing that), there is already a system to remove the wrong doers by voting against them in the elections that should be done, otherwise just allowing them to win and then saying that he is a wrong-doer is ignorance of the electorate, Anna, Shanthi, Mahi and Abhish should empower the people to vote for the right person, rather than going to the streets,
    Shanthi was the lawer of Dewa Gowda earlier,
    Shanthi was a member of one of the opposition parties earlier so is he really Impartial and good at heart, everyone knows that Dewa Gowda is corrupt, so Shanthi practices for corrupt and speak against corrupt (this is possible because India is a true democracy, hope you get the point)....
    Empowering people (read common people not MIDDLE class)
    and
    Implementing the rule of law properly is the way forward for the democracy,
    Civil Society should work within the democracy, they are the citizens of India they are under the rule of law, Claiming that "we want to strengthen the rule of law" by breaking the law is for me ILLOGICAL,
    Educated people like you (jobin, mahi, abhish et al.,) and me should do this empower the hitherto discriminated sections,
    Following a corrupt lawyer and unclear (non-transparent) motives is good up to a level (until those motives don't breaks the rule of law of the country)
    As per IPC suicide is a crime, so anna if he wants to commit suicide by not eating food or drinking water is doing a crime and if the authorities stopped him it is well under the rule of law, remember freedom or speech and expression in India is not to mud sling against all the MP's or by committing suicide...
    if you have time please watch this..it will educate you -

Just check for yourself by typing "West Bengal flood" and check past 24 hrs news in google... You wont find many... Press and media of India is losing it credibility. More than one lakh people affected and they are being dumped for this fast by the so called Jan 'NETA'!Aam admi logon you can go there to help these people if you want to.... West Bengal is also a part of India!! Meanwhile, remember.. there is also a world beyond Anna Hazare!!

  16. Why we need Lokpal and why the author is wrong - The poor idiots of India are working at their offices, day in and day out, slogging their tired asses all day long and the MPs and the MLAs rob and loot these people. Remember that most of these politicians have criminal history. Would you want to be governed by such a government?

    Now it has come up to such a level that the government can do anything and the people are powerless for any justice. Such a government is defined as "dictatorship".
    A government by the people, FOR THE PEOPLE and OF THE PEOPLE is known as "democracy"

    Now, the people have come together under a common platform led by Anna Hazare and whatever mockery is done by the government will come down! the people wont stop! This is true democracy.

  17. Dear Joe, where were you during the last elections, why didn't you educate the 'poor' people to vote for the right person!!! if the MP or MLA of your country is a thief, it is because of you, you voted for the wrong person, you did not educate the people to vote for the right person,
    and your define the govt. of India as a dictator, if you were in a dictatorship regime you could not have written the above post and no anna hazare could raise his voice, this democracy allows all the people to raise the voice, you must try to appreciate that, and bringing down this democracy and planting your beloved anna hazare or kiran bedi as the dictator of India is foolishness, why don't you try to empower the people rather than shouting slogans that everyone is corrupt,
    in case of Janlokpal will it stop corrupt MP's and MLA's being elected? what would happen if the lokpal becomes corrupt? what would happen to the federal system in India, if the lokpal can overrule any state govt.? how big would be the janlokpal machinery if it needs to investigate every nook and corner of India? who will pay for that machinery? wouldn't it be additional tax for the poor people of India? how was the janlokpal bill drafted? why are you afraid of presenting the lokpal bill in the parliament?
