This has nothing to do with religions or cultures , the reference to Muslims
is equally diversionary , the problem affects all citizens ,and in every state
of the Indian Union corruption is a problem ,however it is linked to policies
and the manner in which a society is being influenced and controlled by
and for who ???????? The banners may be to identify the movement
with supportfor a particular party however the strange and farcical manner
in which a few people are conducting this movement, camouflaging the real
issues
including the issue of policy, raises several questions which remain unanswered
.........
Whatever is partisan is suspect, that is why it is equally important to
focus attention
on administrations and their policies wherever it has adversely impacted
citizens .It
is important for a sincere movement or political party genuinely dedicated to
peoples
interest to be honest in its functioning . We cannot single out Gujarat alone
for
condemnation, if we do not focus on what has been happening in other States and
the encounter deaths and bomb blasts which have taken place and the hundreds of
innocent people languishing in jail in those States irrespective of which party
is in
power .
As of to-day the anti-corruption movement seeks to camouflage every other
issue, why ???? while
making no serious gains on the necessity to cover the powerful financial and
other interests who
in fact influence government policies and decision making as this sector is
given impunity by those fasting who arefocussing on covering everyone else
except this oligarchy and the powerful real estate and contractorslobby which
includes financiers and commercial lobbyists.
When even Stiglitz( Nobel laureate and World Bank ) refers to the
privatization process as briberization and gives examples from country after
country , can it be ignored . I recall a well known Senior Advocate , the late
Mr. J.I. Mehta an eminent Senior Counsel who appeared predominantlyin
commercial and company law cases , informing me with all seriousness when the
policy commenced a decade that the biggest financial scandal was in the area
of privatization of public resources and I can assure you as will others that
he was not a socialist or communist or a radical though professionally he
believed in ethics. This is what we call oral and contemporary history of an
individual with inside information soberly reacting to policy which went by and
large unchallenged .
To-day ideological labels have ceased to mean anything in particular when
advanced with a dubious motive . Someone claiming to be a Gandhian others
Communists still others Civil Society ;some claiming to be Dalits when they
are actually well heeled and prosperous, , others claiming to be Muslims and
their protectors closing their eyes to the fact that many are in serious
economic and social distress , terrorized , bereft even of citizenship rights
in some regions not restricted to Gujarat . Others claim to espouse ' Hindutva'
a camouflage for continuing economic , social and political control of millions
of people not similary privileged .What we need are more honest citizens
without vested interest whether they are in political parties , movements or
outside ready to understand that in a society
we have to care for everyone and on a priority basis for those who have little
or nothing the others are able to take care of themselves more ably .
We will need the private sector even as it is the State Sector at the
Commanding heights of the economy which has to safeguard public wealth ,
resources and interests ; however this private sector has to function within
the ambit and framework of Constitutional safeguards including Article 39 ( b)
and ( c) as presently we have been reduced to medieval and feudal control by
major Companies , even coveting land in the manner of the Zamindari of the East
India Company in several countries imposing its own diktat on political
parties and governments .
Unfortunately some of the worst citizens to-day are those who are
masquerading as supporters of peoples interests when their real motivations may
be quite different , the deliberate hijacking of the political movements of
this country and society .
Do those who consider themselves Mahatmas not know this????? Then why a
distorted focus ????
Why does the movement conceal more than it reveals, is this what Mahatma Gandhi
desired ???

Subject: [humanrights-movement:4745] Muslims surely attribute to
anticorruption but?
Muslims surely attribute to anti corruption but the way ann movement was
showcased previously with slogans like "Bharat Mata Ki" etc, people in saffron,
BJP VHP etc and havans were done that distances people from the same. that can
be one of the main reasons for the visible distance.
