Government planned to crush my agitation: Hazare

Anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare on Tuesday said the Union government had planned to crush his agitation, by putting him under house arrest in his village Ralegan Siddhi, right after he came out of Tihar Jail.

Mr. Hazare said the Centre had also kept an Air Force plane ready at the Delhi airport.

Addressing visitors in Ralegan Siddhi, Mr. Hazare said: “The idea was to airlift me from Delhi airport, where an Air Force flight was waiting, to Pune. From Pune, they would send me to Ralegan Siddhi, where I would not have been allowed to go anywhere.” He called the government's plan a part of a “betrayal.”

The Delhi Police had arrested Mr. Hazare on August 16, hours before his slated hunger strike for the Jan Lokpal Bill at the JP Park. Within hours, the police withdrew the charges against Mr. Hazare, who however refused to leave the jail premises demanding unconditional permission to fast on the Ramlila grounds.

The activist earlier alleged that his arrest was planned at the Home Ministry level, even as the government denied the charge.

Commenting on Parliament members allegedly taking money for vote during the confidence motion, Mr. Hazare said they should be “hanged.” “If anyone in the Assembly or Parliament takes money for asking questions or casting votes, there should be stringent punishment for them. In fact I feel they should be hanged.”

Mr. Hazare refuted charges levelled by Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh that Mr. Hazare was a “mask for the RSS.”

Mr. Singh said in Jammu that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Bharatiya Janata Party used Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare as their mask, to divert people's attention from the arrests of RSS activists in terrorism and corruption cases.

Reacting to Mr. Singh's comments, Mr. Hazare said, “Those who are making allegations should first produce evidence.”

Prasoon Joshi pens poems for Anna’s movement

Common complaints and public ombudsman

Common complaint, for instance if he is in office, and ration cards are built and are asked for a bribe, it is not income tax refund, poor women are denied the widow pension, it is asked for a bribe . Many people say that such complaints were brought to the Ombudsman so that millions will make complaints to the Ombudsman and the Ombudsman shall be the whole system collapsing. 

हमारा ये मानना है कि ये बाते बिल्कुल गलत हैं क्योंकि हमने जो व्यवस्था लोकपाल कानून के अन्दर की है वो ये है कि पहले उस विभाग का एक अधिकारी काम करेगा अगर वो काम नहीं करता तो वो शिकायत हैड ऑफ द डिपार्टमेण्ट के पास जाएगी। वो भी काम नहीं करता तो लोकपाल के विजिलेंस अफसर के पास ये पावर होगी कि वो इन दोनों अफसरों की तन्ख्वाह काटे और वो आपको मुआवज़े के रूप में दे और इनके खिलाफ भ्रष्टाचार का मुकदमा दायर करें।

The day - by - day operational be accountability will improve the entire system. 4, 5, 6, 10 new officers so that public complaints can be settled quickly. 

With millions of people who will not join the movement. The day that the public is that those abuses have sought to bribe him hear. Prevention is the mass of the Ombudsman in the bill. So we think that if millions of people that for the thousands of complaints that the government should then have to appoint officers. He now can not be sidelined. You must tell the public what the public's complaints may be brought or not brought under the purview of Lok Pal.

Some people say that the Ombudsman only large - to large cases, 2 - spectrum to examine, to check the Commonwealth Games, to the general ration water, not to speak of, the Panchayats are not talking about corruption If you're in the street in front of the house, not to speak of corruption. What do you want? What do you want ombudsman? Do you want the Ombudsman? Or do you want ombudsman is small or big corruption is corruption, corruption of all of the talk. He says that if all these people's ombudsman to the corruption of others who will be the system collapsing, we do not think so. We have Kailkuleshn about it and we start to believe that if they need, much more Apfsron Apfsron deployed in the Ombudsman against corruption should be punished severely. Two - three years you will see that it will reduce corruption. And then you need less people in the Public Ombudsman. Cases of corruption will be deleted on low.

Judiciary and the Public Ombudsman

Check corruption in judiciary

Corruption in our country's justice system has reached a peak, the day we read in the newspapers that a certain - certain allegations of corruption against the judge, but unfortunately in our entire system of judges to check corruption for their trial and there is no free agency. Mass of corruption against judges of the ombudsman bill is written. 

The present system of judicial corruption control 

According to the current system if you want to file a FIR against the corruption of a judge, then we have to seek permission from the Chief Justice of the Indian. लेकिन जनलोकपाल कानून में लिखा है कि अब चीफ जस्टिस ऑफ इण्डिया से इजाज़त नहीं लेनी होगी, क्योंकि अभी तक का इतिहास यह बताता है कि जब-जब चीफ जस्टिस ऑफ इण्डिया से इजाज़त मांगी गई, तब-तब उन्होंने भ्रष्ट जजों के खिलाफ इजाज़त देने से declined. 

Many people believe that it filed an FIR against corrupt judges did not give power to the Ombudsman. He believes that today is the system that the Chief Justice of the Indian to file case against the corrupt judges give permission, to carry on the system. But the question is whether these systems? This is to limit corruption in the justice system? Or is this corruption?

After Jnlokpal law

Allow a judge to investigate and found guilty of corruption against his seven-member bench of Ombudsman will be allowed to proceed.जनलोकपाल बिल में सुझाव दिया है कि भ्रष्ट जज के खिलाफ एफ.आई.आर दर्ज करने के पहले देश के मुख्य न्यायधीश की जगह लोकपाल के सात सदस्यों (जिसमें कानूनी पृष्ठभूमि के लोग बहुतायत में हों), की बैंच इस बारे में निर्णय लें और खुले The hearing will be in the whole world to know it was right or wrong given that permission.

Confusion about the judiciary 

Drafting Committee in the crucial issue of corruption in the justice system began, the media has been printed so that the top judge in the place - the system will be brought to the Ombudsman. This creates an illusion that would have threatened the independence of justice system.

Strict action against corrupt judges and to mark the image of our justice system and increase its independence. If their names were withheld so filthy dirty the pond fish will like. 

The third meeting of the committee drafting the bill the United Ombudsman, Mr P. Chidambaram said that the former judge Jnlokpal bill are against the measure. The reference Venktchelaya Justice and Justice JS Verma was on. 

Venktchelaya Justice himself has felt himself paid the wrong process.They were judge for yourself if the Prdn Justice Ajit Sen Gupta, Shri P. Chidambaram against him FIR he had not sought permission to enter. FIR against him despite the evidence Was not allowed to enter. That is now expected that the system of public justice of today - has always given protection to corruption in the system, change it all together.

The country now stands at a historical turning point. On the one hand around the corruption, poses a threat to the survival of India, on the other public organizations and the movement has contributed to a new ray of hope. Corruption in the justice system in the historic occasion will be leaving the country will never forgive us.

Justice Venkata Chelaya a judicial reform bill is drafted and they want justice - a system of corruption to get things under that law. His idea is very good. Created by the draft bill has not yet public. There's just so much work on it. 

Some people have said that the Ombudsman in the realm of justice - to bring order to the corruption of their workload will increase manifold. It is misleading to people in the country's Supreme Court and High Court judge over 1,000 total. Prdn a retired judge, had once said that nearly 20 percent higher in the justice system is corrupt judge. Even if it is assumed that all complaints will come together nearly 200 complaints against the coach.So little work is not going to collapse from the ombudsman system. 

Some people also think that the judges judge the situation. Therefore, the right to make decisions about their corruption should be given to judges.It's just wrong. If a judge takes a bribe or do not understand what it is obvious that. Taking bribes is wrong. We avoid such arguments.

Anna fasting: leaves lasting impact on people’s lives

This is not the end, but a new beginning — this was the general mood on Sunday after Anna Hazare ended his fast. People at the Ramlila Maidan claimed that the movement has only inspired them to continue the revolution in their day-to-day lives.The movement, driven largely by undying public support and enthusiasm, has resulted in heightened awareness of corruption and how it has bled the country white. "I had planned to pay Rs 4,000 as bribe to clear an exam, as I felt I wasn't sufficiently prepared. But after participating in the movement, I have promised myself never to do it. I will not be corrupt," said Deepak Rathi, an engineer from Faridabad.Rahul Raghav, businessman, said: "The first step is not to pay bribe anymore. I own an HR consultancy firm, and most of the time, we have to pay bribes to hire consultants. But this will happen no more, even if I suffer losses. If everyone stops paying bribe, no one will face problems."A group of civil services aspirants present at the grounds claimed that the movement had inspired them to envision future where electoral reforms, decentralization of power and direct involvement of people in nation building was possible. "I am impressed to see that a change at such a mass level could be brought about through the united effort of the common people. Perhaps it has helped to make many people less cynical about life. The movement has certainly given the youth an adrenaline rush," said Dhruva Sharma of the group.Megha Nand Lakhera, who had come with her husband and three-year-old daughter to celebrate the "people's win", said: "Now we will not ignore everyday corruption that we tolerated earlier: be it at ration shops or in public transport. These small things will make a difference, and we have brought our daughter along, hoping that we will be able to educate her for a better tomorrow."

Citizens' group to fight Pune civic elections.

Inspired by social activist Anna Hazare's endeavour to rid society and politics of corruption and yoga guru Baba Ramdev's dream of a clean socio-political scenario, people from various walks of life have come together to form a forum called Pune Nagrik Sanghatana (PNS). It is learnt that the forum will take part in the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) election and the official announcement in this regard is expected in the next two days. 

The new forum is getting support from intellectuals, educationists, former politicians, journalist-editors and RTI activists. PNS is, in a way, a revival of the Nagri Sanghatana established by the editor of a local Marathi daily in 1968 for clean and fair politics.

"We are inspired by the Nagri Sanghatana and are, in a way, renaming it by the addition of the word 'Pune'," said 72-year old Ramesh Agarwal, coordinator of PNS. The forum has had four meetings in the past two months and has already got support from former IAS officers Arun Bhatiya and Avinash Dharmadhikari, the industrialist Firodiya brothers, and former mayors Ankush Kakade and Shantilal Suratwala.

RTI activist Vivek Velankar, educationist Dr S B Muzumdar, former union minister and environmentalist Mohan Dhariya and veteran journalist Dwarkanath Lele are also supporting the forum. "We are appealing to all those supporting us to submit their confirmation letters soon. PNS has already got popular with many Punekars and even members of other political parties," said Agarwal.

"We are putting up 30 to 40 candidates by confirming their credentials and their good character by taking interviews." Col Jayant Chitale (Retired), founder president, Maharashtra Military Foundation, who is preparing the PNS manifesto, said he would not be contesting the civic election but was helping the PNS prepare for it.

"We are bringing together good and intelligent people who want to make Pune a better place to live in in the future. We are creating transparency in our system and promoting people with good character for the election," said Chitale.

Pray for Anna: The Real Gandhian

Anna Hazare, who is hospitalised after his 12-day fast, today received a 'Get Well Soon' message from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Singh sent the message through an official of his personal staff along with a bouquet of flowers, PMO sources said.

Hazare was admitted in a hospital in Gurgaon on Sunday after he ended his fast for a strong Lokpal Bill.

 Anna Hazare was given soft diet on Tuesday after three days of being hospitalised following his 12-day fast over the Jan Lokpal Bill. The anti-graft crusader, who has been admitted at Gurgaon's Medanta hospital since Sunday, had a plate of poha (pressed rice), doctors said. "For 12 days he was without food. Therefore, we need to gradually put him on a normal diet. We started with soup and juices, then soft fruits, but today he expressed the desire to have poha," said Dr Yatin Mehta, one of the doctors monitoring Anna's health.

"The good thing is he digested it quite well. Anna has not lost weight any further during the past 24 hours. Another sign of improvement was Anna took a brief walk around within the ward. On Monday, he spent most of the time sleeping as he felt very weak. It's a good sign," said Dr Mehta.

Anna, however, has been avoiding newspapers.

"He has made it very clear that he wants to lead a simple life for a few days. He wants to take a break," Dr Mehta added.

It will take five more days before Anna is discharged from the hospital.

"Complete recovery may take more than two weeks as he has lost a lot of fats and muscles. But he can be discharged after five days as he is improving well," said Dr Balram Gupta.
