Anna Hazare fasts unto death starting 5th April.
He is demanding enactment of a strong anti-corruption law - Jan Lokpal Bill
- to ensure swiftness and certainty of punishment to the corrupt.
Will his fast have any impact on the deaf Government of India?
Yes, it certainly would. Because, last time when Anna sat on fast -
• 6 corrupt ministers in Maharashtra had to resign
• 400 corrupt officers were dismissed from job
• 2002 - Maharashtra RTI Act was passed
• 2006 - Central Government withdrew its proposal to amend
Central RTI Act
Now Anna is fasting to demand Jan Lokpal Bill. JAN LOKPAL BILL will act
as deterrent and instill fear in the minds of corrupt people.
"At 78, Anna is not fasting for himself, he is fasting for the future of my
kid. I will myself fast on 5th April for a day and ask my 5 year daughter
also to skip a meal on 5th April," Rakesh, a software engineer.
What can you do?
"Let the whole nation fast for a day on 5th April and pray for a corruption
free India. Collective prayers are very powerful. Let the whole nation pray
against corruption," appeals Anna Hazare.
"Lets reach Jantar Mantar in thousands, in lakhs from 5th April. I will be
there - day and night - with Anna. We will all sleep on the roads of Jantar
Mantar. Anna's fast can change India's history. Can't you take a few days
off from your work and be a part of it?" Arvind Kejriwal
"Send us a missed call at 02261550789 to stay updated about this movement.
Forward this mail to everyone," Kiran Bedi

Salient features of Jan Lokpal Bill
Drafted by Justice Santosh Hegde, Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal, this
Bill has been refined on the basis of feedback received from public on
website and after series of public consultations. It has also been vetted by
and is supported by Shanti Bhushan, J M Lyngdoh, Kiran Bedi, Anna Hazare
etc. It was sent to the PM and all CMs on 1st December.
1.An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state
will be set up
2.Like Supreme Court and Election Commission, they will be completely
independent of the governments. No minister or bureaucrat will be able to
influence their investigations.
3.Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore:
Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial
should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician, officer
or judge is sent to jail within two years.
4.The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered
at the time of conviction.
5.How will it help a common citizen: If any work of any citizen is not done
in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial
penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the
complainant.
6.So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter
card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any
other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have to get it
done in a month’s time. You could also report any case of corruption to
Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor quality roads been constructed
or panchayat funds being siphoned off. Lokpal will have to complete its
investigations in a year, trial will be over in next one year and the guilty
will go to jail within two years.
7.But won’t the government appoint corrupt and weak people as Lokpal
members? That won’t be possible because its members will be selected by
judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians,
through a completely transparent and participatory process.
8.What if some officer in Lokpal becomes corrupt? The entire functioning of
Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint against any
officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within two
months.
9.What will happen to existing anti-corruption agencies? CVC, departmental
vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged into Lokpal.
Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to independently investigate
and prosecute any officer, judge or politician.

India tops the list for black money in the entire world with almost US$1456
billion in Swiss banks (USD <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USD> 1.4
trillion<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillion>approximately) in the
form of black money.
[11] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_India#cite_note-10>According
to the data provided by the Swiss Banking Association Report
(2006), India has more black money than the rest of the world
combined.[12]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_India#cite_note-11>
[13] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_India#cite_note-12> Indian
Swiss bank account assets are worth 13 times the country’s national debt.
[14] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_India#cite_note-13> Indian
black money is sometimes physically transferred abroad. The CEO of a
Mumbai<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai>-based
equity firm recently told journalists that the money is flown abroad in
"special flights" out of Mumbai and Delhi airports to
Zurich<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zurich>.
Indeed Indians would be the largest depositors of illegal money in Swiss
banks, according to sources in the banking industry. The estimated average
amount stashed away annually from India during 2002-2006 is $27.3 billion US
dollars.[15] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_India#cite_note-14>
Criminalization of Indian politics is a serious
problem.[7]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_India#cite_note-tax-6>
[8]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_India#cite_note-The_criminalisation_of_Indian_democracy-7>In
July 2008 The Washington Post reported that nearly a fourth of the 540
Indian
Parliament <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Parliament> members faced
criminal charges, "including human
trafficking<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_trafficking>,
immigration rackets, embezzlement<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embezzlement>,
rape <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape> and even
murder".[9]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_India#cite_note-wtcorruption-8>An
international watchdog conducted a study on the illicit flight of
money
from India, perhaps the first ever attempt at shedding light on a subject
steeped in secrecy, concludes that India has been drained of $462 billion
(over Rs 20 lakh crore) between 1948 and 2008. The amount is nearly 40% of
India's annual gross domestic
product.[10<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_India#cite_note-9>
