10 things to know about Anna Hazare 'n Jan Lok Pal Bill.. !

1. Who is Anna Hazar...e?
An ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War

2. What's so special about him?
He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra

3. So what?
This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills.
In 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village in India. It has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly & harmonic village.


4. Ok,...?
This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for his social activities.

5. Really, what is he fighting for?
He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India.

6. How that can be possible?
He
is advocating for a Bil, The Jan Lokpal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman
Bill), that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians
(ministers),
beurocrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.

8. It's an entirely new thing right..?
In
1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan.
Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying
to change the
bill to suit thier theft (corruption).

7. Oh.. He is going on a
hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a Bill ! How can that be
possible in such a short span of time?
The first thing he is asking for is: the government should come forward and announce that the bill is going to be passed.
Next, they make a joint
committee to DRAFT the JAN LOKPAL BILL. 50% goverment participation and
50% public participation. Because you cant trust the government entirely
for making such a bill which does not suit them.

8. Fine, What will happen when this bill is passed?
A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge, say like the Election Commission of India.
In each and every state, Lokayukta
will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial in
case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be
punished. Not like, Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas Tragedy case, that has been going for last 25 years without any result.

9. Is he alone? Whoelse is there in the fight with Anna Hazare?
Baba Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal and many more.
Prominent personalities like Aamir Khan is supporting his cause.

10. Ok, got it. What can I do?
At least we can spread the message.
