Re: [IAC#RG] Fwd: Arvind Kejriwal's Asahayog Aandolan

Dear Air Commodore Pannu

Thanks for your email which set out some issues / points lucidly.

1) The IAC forum has indeed deviated into some irrelevant branches recently because of local political trends. This is a strategic action for operational imperatives. Certain political forces are out to increase their membership base and are trying to sway / induct IAC followers and operate under IAC banners at local levels (false flag). It is also convenient for IAC that we do not want such "swingers" in our movement and want them to either leave on their own or else be unsubscribed.

2)  As per IAC, corruption is not a/the cause of India's evils but is a symptom of the several diseases which are attacking India's polity. The need is to diagnose the diseases (in simple yet precise terms), and formulate how they are to be treated separately in order of their virulence.

3)  Merely coming together with other individuals / groups because they claim to be anti-Congress or anti-BJP or anti-corruption etc is not enough. When you scratch these persons, you realise that all their talk of being "anti-corruption" has a political end which essentially translates into anti-Congressism, anti-Sonia (Christian bahu of Muslim saas), anti-Muslim, anti-Christian etc. IAC's aim is to oppose corruption in a non-political way which means WITHOUT PARTICIPATION OF THE AAM AADMI (ie. voters).

4) Today's politics of India is the politics of goondaism (thuggery). The only way to overcome this is to be an even bigger goonda. Gandhism and satyagraha is no longer going to work without a parallel supporting 'goonda' movement for protection.

5) IAC, historically,  opposes Gandhism in all its forms and developments.

6) The last point is about the role of aam aadmi / voter in this process. IAC is only a small part of a larger HRA movement. The role of IAC is to communicate ts message indirectly and interface with the "outside world" HRA does not believe in participation in the present electoral systems which are rigged, inherently as well as in their operation. IAC does not believe in chasing after the fickle Aam Aadmi (constantly shifting and swinging like a pendulum) or developing them into vote banks. IAC would rather focus on influencing governance/ bureaucracy which is as constant as the Northern Star and thereby leverage its intellectual power which is backed up by HRA's acknowledged people power..

Dear Shri Sarbajit Roy,
 
  I have been reading with interest the mails to/from IAC. As I understand, IAC's main thrust should be against corruption, which is the root cause of all ills in our country. I am pleased to admit that you have been spending lot of your time and energy and thereby trying your best to move in the right direction. However, lately I have started getting an impression that you often tend to deviate from the main issue. Let us be honest to admit that we are all fall guys and Annaji, Arvind Kejriwal etc are no exception. In this context, the points/observations made by  Shri Kalyanam Sundaresan, Shri CA R. Pareek, Shri Navnith Krishnan, Shri KR Pravesh (for the time being limiting only to these four) are quite valid and need serious consideration by you, in particular and IAC, in general.
    I am entering the discussion for the first time and would prefer to say only this much. It would be gracious to let go some of the differences with individuals (genuinely fighting against corruption) and utilise their energies for whatever they are worth. Please remember, United we stand but divided we fall. That is what the present corrupt Govt is cashing on. You can defeat their designs only thru electoral process.
    Lastly, kindly appreciate that the common man, who has the voting power doesnt have the luxury of being on internet; hence to reach him, you need to adopt some other approaches, which some individuals are doing.
   Wishing you success in your mission.
