Re: [rti_india] DANDI MARCH 11 (LOK PAL BILL)

 

THANKS LESLIE ALMEIDA.  THOUGH IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO TAKE PART IN THE MARCH AS I LIVE IN DELHI YET I SUPPORT THE CAUSE AND WITH YOU.
 
AN EFFECTIVE LOK PAL BILL IS THE NEED OF THE HOUR TO TAKE ON POLITICAL CORRUPTION EFFICIENTLY.  OBVIOUSLY, THE BILL PREPARED BY THE GOVT. FAILS ON THIS TEST.
 
WISH FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE EFFORTS.

The Jail Bharo Andolan will begin on April 12 if the government does not pass the Jan Lokpal Bill, social activist Anna Hazare announced on Monday. The 73-year-old leader, who will begin a fast-unto-death at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi from April 5, told the media that if the Bill was not passed  the people would take to the streets across the country.

"We will fight till our demands are considered and some strong steps are taken," said Hazare.

The National Advisory Council (NAC), headed by Congress president Sonia Gandhi has agreed to consider the Jan Lokpal bill drafted by activists and experts like former top cop Kiran Bedi, advocate Prashant Bhushan, Arvind Kejriwal and others.

"The Right to Information Act has unearthed many scams, but we need a law that can initiate action against the culprits. As with present laws its difficult for  citizens to take  remedies to procecute  Govt servant/bureaucrats./politicians

Many individuals have already pledged their support. Sri Sri Ravishankar, Baba Ramdev and the Archbishop of Delhi are preaching their followers to fast for the Jan Lokpal Bill. Announcements are also being made in churches. Lots of citizens will be fasting on April 5,"

"When I took part in Dandi March in 1930, I never thought I might have to take apart in a similar event after 70 years," said freedom fighter H S Doreswamy who flagged off the march.
 
many of us were not born to participate in Dandhi march in 1930, but surely we can in DANDI MARCH 2011
The entire system is corrupt, bureaucrats and politicians are shielding each other. The bill is the need of the hour
