Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 08:57:56 +0000
1. Who
is Anna Hazare?
Ans: An ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War
2. What's so special about him?
Ans:He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district,
Maharashtra
3. So what?
Ans: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
villages in India . It has become a model for self-sustained,
eco-friendly & harmonic village.
4. Ok?
Ans:This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a
known figure for his social activities.
5. Really, what is he fighting for?
Ans:He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption
in India .
6. How that can be possible?
Ans: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), bureaucrats (IAS/ IPS) accountable for their deeds.
7. It's an entirely new thing right..?
Ans: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).
8. 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?
Ans: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% government participation and 50% public participation.
Because you can't trust the government entirely for
making
such a bill which does not suit them.
9. Fine, What will happen when this bill is passed?
Ans: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, this has been going for last 25 years
without any result.
10. Is he alone? Who else is there in the fight with Anna Hazare?
Ans:Baba Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI
activist Arvind Kejriwal and many more. A prominent personality like Aamir Khan
is supporting his cause.
11. Ok, got it. What can I do?
Ans:At least we can spread the message.
12.
How?
Ans:Putting status message, links, video, changing profile pics. At
least we can support Anna Hazare and the cause for uprooting
corruption from India.
At least we can hope that his Hunger Strike does not go in vain.
At least we can pray for his good health.
Please Spread This message As Much As You Can 'n Tell Others To Do The Same...!
