Anna Hazare Jailed on 16th August. Is this the INDEPENDENCE we celebrated on the 15th??

He is demanding enactment of a strong anti-corruption law - Jan Lokpal Bill - to ensure swiftness and certainty of punishment to the corrupt.

Will his movement have any impact on the deaf  Government of India?
 
Yes, it certainly would. Because, last time when Anna sat on fast -

                 � 6 corrupt ministers in Maharashtra had to resign
                 � 400 corrupt officers were dismissed from job
                 � 2002 - Maharashtra RTI Act was passed
                 � 2006 - Central Government withdrew its proposal to amend Central RTI Act

Now Anna is fasting to demand Jan Lokpal Bill. JAN LOKPAL BILL will act as deterrent and instill fear in the minds of corrupt people.


 "At 74, Anna is not fasting for himself, he is fasting for the future of my kid. I will myself fast on 17th August for a day and ask my 5 year daughter also to skip a meal on 17th August," Rakesh, a software engineer.
