Those who told Anna’s movement is holding government to ransom and Anna should take a more rational approach, without knowing how long is 42 years of time for a bill to pass. Most, who told so, were not even 42 years old.
Those who told Anna’s movement is undemocratic, without knowing the numbers that make up for a win or a lose in a democracy. Did they know that UPA hardly got a vote of 25% of the total voting population, whereas at least a 50% of whole India supported Anna?
Those who told that Anna’s JanLokPal is extreme without having any significant knowledge about What Government’s Lokpal is, What Jan LokPal is or the implications of both!? Or for that matter, did not even know what they wanted from a certain Anti-Corruption bill.
Those who told Anna’s movement will set a wrong precedent of going on Fast, without knowing that there are hundreds of Fast Protests all around India for different causes and hardly anyone got the strength that Anna got. Did they really think that everyone who wants something from country will go on a fast and will get that kind of support? If I’d go on a fast to abolish Income tax, did they think I will get a 2 lakh people supporting my cause? Did they even think twice before making such a statement?!
Those who told Anna is very rigid, without knowing that it was Anna team which compromised in April to a great extent. And what did Anna get – A Lokpal bill! (ohh, I am sorry, how would they get it. Hardly any of Those have actually read the Lokpal Bill). And it was Anna Team which was more than ready to get into Dialogue again in August and again what did they get – A typical Congress Hypocrisy: Promise on one day and a U-turn on the very next- twice in 4 days now.
Those who told that Anna’s Lokpal was 5 member bill, without knowing that Anna’s Team travelled the length and breadth of India meeting 3000 officers, scholars and experts on bureaucracy to gather the points on draft. Every effort was made to make the draft strong, feasible and foolproof (But wait, they have not even read the draft!)
Those who told that Anna’s being unreasonable and should give some more time to parliament to discuss the JLP without knowing that No Bill Ever passed in Parliament has taken more than 4 days of debate! Anna and Team gave them 14 days!
Those who told vehemently that Anna is not being fair, without even realizing that they were indirectly supporting the government in saying so. That government which was set out to ruin India.
(And I feel sad because I am selfish, with a feeling of revenge, and that's what makes Anna different than all of us.. coz, he is fighting for future of unknown Indians)
