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.

"I would really have liked to see a project outline..."

As usual, of any new new employee, I too was also asked to fill up more than 20 pages of forms. Then Sanya introduced me with Thomas and others.

There was an introduction session about the shipping industry... Rajeev came from SBNT and explained "how fantastic the industry is" and the industry is the 'Father of BPO' etc.
The first week went without much events...

Next week, I was 'Summoned' to SB Nair's cabin...

"Jobin, I want you to do an assignment... Prepare a 'Call to Action' note on "Trickery"...See.. for example textile shops may advertise '5 to 50% discount. But actually, these 50% is applicable only for some minor items whereas all other items would be tagged with 5%...

"One more thing... prepare a project note first"
... What a simple assignment...
Does it really require a stupid project note???

Actually.. what is it???

I have submitted a 4 page assignment within 2 days.

Within one hour, I got a mail back.

"I would really have liked to see a project outline..."

I have asked about this to the one of the world’s biggest information source, Google. I have prepared project note based on the information supplied by the google.
I submitted the project note to SBN. He 'magnanimously' rejected it...

Again I approached Google. He supplied some more information.

...Submitted...
....Rejected...

The interesting thing is that I attach the revised assignment along with project note to SBN. And I was not confident about my assignment as well because there is always information missing.
After continuous rejection of my project note, I have rejected google's information.
I went to SBN.
“Sir, What is your expectation?”

“Sit...The project note means, the outline or structure of the document. Once the project note is complete, the 30-35% of the documentation work is complete. Your Concept, Conceive, Understanding, document structure everything is defined and refined about the document, if you have complete and clear project note. And, there will not have any information missing.”

I have resubmitted the project note.

It has been accepted for the 'time being'.

I have started writing based on the project note. Then only I understand that why should I have developed a project note. I have written everything that has to be in the assignment.

No information missing in the assignment.

To be frank, I have not created a project note for writing this blog post.

So, there may be information missing in this post!!!
