Anna Hazare is  the person who was behind the Right to Information Act (RTI Act). He had gone on hunger strike in the year 2003 to get the RTI act bill passed and more than getting the bill passed, he traveled about 12,000 km to create an awareness of this act.We really need people like him to get these corrupt politicians and bureaucrats to hold responsibility and close the loopholes in our system

Anna Hazare Fast  Against Corruption in India

In 2011, Anna Hazare led a movement for passing a stronger anti-corruption Lokpal (ombudsman) bill in the Indian Parliament. As a part of this movement, N. Santosh Hegde, a former justice of the Supreme Court of India, Prashant Bhushan, a senior lawyer in the Supreme Court along with the members of the India Against Corruption movement drafted an alternate bill, named as the Jan Lokpal Bill (Poeple's Ombudsman Bill) with more stringent provisions and wider power to the Lokpal (Ombudsman). Hazare decided to start a fast upto death from 5 April 2011 at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, to press for the demand to form a joint committee of the representatives of the Government and the civil society to draft a new bill with more stronger penal actions and more independence to the Lokpal and Lokayuktas (Ombudsmen in the states), after his demand was rejected by the Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh

Anna Hazare Fighting For Jan Lokpal Bill - an anti corruption bill for benefit of common man

What are the loopholes of the Lokpal Bill by the Government :According to the current version of Lokpal Bill, Lokpal will not have any power to either initiate action suo motu in any case or even receive complaints of corruption from public. This is making the Lokpal bill useless. But according to the Jan Lokpal Bill, full powers to initiate investigations suo motu in any case and also to directly entertain complaints from the public. This is something very important and needs to be addressed by the Government and we see most of the political parties finding this as a threat to them.

 Lets all support-Anna hazare's fight against corruption in India  , its for us, by us for our better future

The Government proposed Lokpal bill doesnt want the Lokpal to be advisory body and just forward the complaints to the respective department and does not have any right to register and FIR or police powers. This bill do not give power's to the Lokpal to do any investigation against the Prime Minister, which deals with foreign affairs, security and defense and also no jurisdiction over bureaucrats and government officers.These are the major lacking of the current version with the Government, but we need a Jan Lokpal bill which is addressing the above mentioned issues.

Quit Corruption movement

Let us all support  this bill and try our best to force the Government to propose anti corruption bill for us. We are the people who have put them on to rule the country and they will have to do it for us.

Let's make India corruption Free country !!!

Support Anti Corruption Movement. Jai Hind
