Anna Now a Hero?

Suddenly Congress has done a complete U-Turn on Anna Hazare's integrity status. Someone who was 'Sar se Paanv tak' corrupt according to the Congress spokesperson Manish Tiwari has emerged a hero as new-found wisdom dawned upon Congressmen. Mr. Dixit has said it was an error on the part of Delhi Police in the way they arrested Anna. In my previous post on this blog I had told that the DP will be victimised in this matter by the same Puppeteers who orchestrated this whole drama. And Lo! now DP is the scapegoat / villian in the whole chain of events!
Let us for a moment presume that the method anna is adopting is not totally constitutional. But if he had gone the 'Constitutional' way to protest these chaps would have stealthily passed the 'Protection of Corruption Bill' that they have now drafted.
What is baffling me is the conspicuous absence of our Hon'ble Prime Minister. Has he gone to the United States? Sir, Other than the nothing-to-write-home-about speech on our Independence Day, not once have you come out in the open and voiced your opinion, personal or otherwise. You are supposed to be the PRIME-minister meaning head of all central cabinet ministers. You are the one who was supposed to say " Annaji, you are a Gandhian and I have great regard for you. I believe you have some issues with our Lokpal Bill Draft. Come, Let us discuss our differences over a cup of tea at my residence. I too will tell you why it is difficult for us Parliamentarians to adopt certain points of your draft." For not doing that and hiding behind a curtain of arrogant ministers Sir, the country will not forgive you. Never were you strong enough to be assertive and say This is my stand on the Matters of 2G, CWG, Nira Radia case and other big issues. You were a mute spectator when the kind of Digvijay Singh, Manish Tiwari went beserk with their illogical rhetoric.
In my opinion the New and Shiny Lokpal Bill should also include the various Party Presidents. After all they are the one who appoint Prime-ministers, ministers and Chief-ministers. They too could have ulterior motives which ultimately affect the greater good of the people they represent. One such example is he mention of "Payment of Hotel Bills of friend of Nitin Gadkari Sir" in one of the many documents unearthed by Mr. U V Singh of the Karnataka Lokayukta.
I also feel the punishment for corruption should be proportionate to the grade of the post of the perpetrator.

Anna & Co Jailed

This morning Anna & his aides were arested. The policemen who came to arrest him, according to Mr.Arvind Kejriwal, did not give any reason and told him that they were only following orders. One good thing that they exhibted was that they came in mufti and took him, I should say, gently [as opossed to a la Karunanidhi/ Murasoli Maran arrest.]. Now arresting Anna even before he started his fast and not giving reason while arresting him is likely to work against the favour of Delhi Police in convincing the courts about the legitamacy of this operation. The D.P. is going to be censured by the court and one man in a white dhothi will be hiding behind a pillar in the court hall with a smirk on his face. In this cat and mouse game between the D.P. and team Anna, this man has nothing to lose.. But I have great optimism that his arrogance alone will do him in. Vinash kale vipareet buddhi.
Another interesting turn of events is that Abhishek Manu Singhvi disowned Manish Tiwari's vitriolic attack on Arvind Kejriwal by a " no comment " comment. How can you say that? A statement made by a party's spokesperson is the voicing of the party's thoughts. How can you not comment? As I said before put a gag on
dimwits like Manish Tiwari and Digvijay Singh and probably you Congressmen can last a while longer in active politics.
Why should one elderly person going on a hunger strike with some unimportant people around him with a not so unreasonable demand to pass a stronger Lokpal bill, scare the daylights out of the congress party? Also do the varied views on this issue within the party suggest a power struggle in Sonia Gandhi's absence?
Ram Bharose Bharath Shasan ki Jai!!!!
