Anti-Corruption Campagin in India – The Funda

Shyam Singh Heikrujam *

Anna Hazare

A faint idea I just had about the Anti-Corruption campaign raised by "Gandhian Anna Hazare-jee" and "Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev-jee" was - they are fighting against the rampant social malady called "Bhastrachar" or corruption, which is prevailing at every level of the society, from the lowest to the highest level and everywhere in each and every corner of "Mera Bharat Mahan".

I don't know where the Constitution says that politicians and "Babus" should indulge in corrupt practices. But, corruption becomes the order of the day in this "Mahan Desh" where any "Do-Numberi" activities are openly carried out with a strong self-centered philosophy of "Paisa Ke Liye Kush Bhee Karega, Kyunki Money Hein to Honey Hein" type.

We always talks about eradication of this evil practice of corruption, but in reality, it is a hard nut to crack and may take many many "Yugs" or generations to achieve it.

Maximum of our "National Netas" are like candy-floss - a little sugar, lots of gloss, but no substance at all. I want to throw all the "Ma-Bahen Wali Gaalies" to them, as well as, to those shameless looters who are busy with indulging in scams, scandals, receiving kick-backs, concealing the black money earned by siphoning the coffers earmarked for the so called "Vikash Yojanas" and a lot of huge funds sanctioned for various schemes in the name of the never benefited beneficiaries.

Everybody knows that almost all these "Yummy-Yummy" bucks always go directly to the pockets of the famous "National-Looters" and never reach the hands of the grass root level stakeholders.

Any "Gaallies", any kind of protests may not make much sense to these corrupted looters and even may be of no use, because they are accustomed to lend a deaf ear to such "Gaallies" or protests. They are very intelligent too and have the master brain to dilute issues like the Anti-Corruption campaign raised by honest people like Anna Hazare by hook or by crook.

I honestly salute from the bottom of my heart to Anna Hazare-ji who have given a huge push to the march against corruption. The proposed "Lokpal Bill" is the second giant step just after the powerful Right to Information Act, 2005 which paved the way to fight this evil practice of corruption.

If the "Lokpal Bill" is passed, the entire government machinery will be brought under it, so that the "Aam Aadmis" can be protected from the evil hands of corruption. Scandals like the Adarsh, 2G and CWG scams have been exposed to the public with the help of the Right to Information Act.

But any appropriate action has not been taken against those guilty fellows who involved in the scam or scandal. Even they haven't been sent to jail. Hence, to tackle such type of irregularities, an effective "Lokpal Bill" is seriously needed in this "Land of Scams and Scandals" immediately.

Now, our leaders might play their natural games very intelligently and trying to make the proposed "Lokpal Bill" almost as in-effective as other existing anti-corruption bodies.

So, it is my earnest prayer to the "Almighty Bhagavan" to give Anna Hazare-ji enough strength to hit a huge six again in this match of Anti-Corruption Campaign and succeed in pursuing "Bharat Sarkar" to pass an effective "Lokpal Bill" in order to save the common people from the evil hands of corruption and keep his fighting spirit alive forever.

Also please give some miraculous supernatural "Shakti" or power to Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev-ji so that he can save the break point of his game and continue his "Anti-Corruption War" on his own style.

We are fed up of these repeated stories of scams and scandals and we are all set to support any move to book the corrupted National Looters.

So, "Lage Raho Anna-jee, Lage Raho Ramdev-ji, Hum Aap Ke Saath Hein" – let us make India a corruption free country and the real "Sareh Jahan Se Asha, Hindustan Humara".
