Anna ki aandhi !

Democracy at a threat ! A men mobilized the nation within hours to protest against the national cause of fighting against corruption .The government tried its level best to demotivate the citizens but as everyone knew no political party is attached to the cause so a huge number of people supported the cause and took the government to feats .The government after the Ramdev episode had long rounds of discussions but all in vain .They arrested Anna in early morning hoping to resist people but almost whole India came out on streets and supported their own cause.


Government was on Tuesday night faced with a piquant situation with Anna Hazare refusing to come out of Tihar Jail despite being offered a release, 15 hours after he was detained and prevented from going on fast demanding a strong Lokpal.Both the Houses of Parliament were adjourned over the issue.With opposition parties and activists likening the government action to the emergency imposed in the country in 1975.The arrest sparked off angry, widespread protests with reports of people courting arrests from different parts of the country and opposition parties slamming the move as an attack on democratic and civil rights of citizens.


Murder of democracy,rehearsal of emergency,sad day all the networking sites were flooded with such quotes within seconds and the protest took an unexpected rise and the government's intelligence failure on accessing the movement .Nobody denies that Mr Hazare's movement against corruption has touched a chord among many Indians, who are fed up with corruption and the political class. Nobody denies that corruption is India's biggest threat to growth and all-round prosperity and development. At the same time, many believe that framing the corruption debate only in the terms of the state versus Mr Hazare-led 'civil society' threatens to trivialise the war on corruption and augurs ill for India.
