Salute to Anna Hazare for the bloodless revolution.

The government of India has at last given in to the demands of Anna Hazare. But already a hue and cry has been raised by a section of people who despite of being a very few in number tried their best to disrupt this peaceful movement which never resorted to any sort of violence and always followed the ‘Gandhian’ path of non-violence without any slightest deviation from it for a single moment. Their logic is that no law can be implemented bye-passing the parliament as it is the fundamental norm of parliamentary democracy and so can never be allowed in parliamentary democracy. It may be true. As an ordinary man having no knowledge of such parliamentary democracy, it is not possible for us to ascertain which is allowed and which is not allowed in parliamentary democracy. But would they kindly answer whether corruption which is so much rampant now everywhere in the society and against which the movement has been organized is allowed in parliamentary democracy? What our political leaders have done so far to check corruption? They can rather be accused of direct or indirect indulgence in spreading corruption to every walk of life. Now when such a massive movement has been organized which they never expected to be ever possible in a country like India that is renowned for its extreme faith in tolerance, they find it as a blow from the blue. It was never in the worst nightmare of the ruling political parties forming the government. They are accusing the opposition in the parliament for hijacking the movement and making Anna a puppet in their ugly hands. Whatever it may be; the government itself has created the situation to instigate such a massive movement and the opposition may take the advantage of it to make the ruling party in bay and pile continuous pressure on the government from all available corners. It is quite natural of them who belong to the opposition. But it is not our duty to save the government from the attack of the opposition on such a vital issue. The government ought to be more careful in its activities and it is our natural expectation from it. If it could have taken timely intervention in preventing such massive scams one after another, it would not have faced such an awkward position whereby it has been forced to listen to the voices of the people of India. We hope that all political parties in India including the opposition would take the lesson from it and would work accordingly because the opposition of today might be the rulers of tomorrow. Thus it is a warning to all political parties in India and the victory of Anna in making the government bowed down to him is a victory of the nation as a whole.
