Dear Hazare,
While I do concede that corruption is rampant in our country & it has become a canker worm. An authority such as LokPal elected directly by people of India is essential who will surveil President , Governors of States, Prime Minister, Council of Ministers, Chief Ministers of States, Parliamentarians, Chief Justice of India, Chief Justices of all state High Courts & is accountable to the people. However, Anna Hazare or his associates or Ramdev are not representatives of People. In democracy after an elected government is installed, people can represent via the elected MPs from each constituency about any issue & if majority of people do so, the elected government is bound to implement their wishes. Anna Hazare, his other associates & Ramdev do not have mandate of people. Hence, Kapil Sibbal's ironic it may appear, remark that Anna Hazare is trying to run a parallel government is right. So also is the ouster of Ramdev & his supporters from Ramlila grounds.
So, as the cause Anna Hazare has espoused is very relevant what he and his associates should do is to travel to the length & breadth of India, convince people to sign a memorandum insisting for installation of Lok Pal, amend constitution therefor, submit that memorandum via the MPs of various constituencies in our country against valid acknowledgement & undertaking to submit it to Parliament of India for deliberation. If there is a democratic majority, the elected government is bound to enact Lok Pal bill in the manner people choose. It is undemocratic to fast unto death, shouting slogans, holding processions etc. These do not have mandate of people & mandate of People very essential which that only an elected government has. So however, relevant the cause Anna Hazare & others have espoused & the manner in which it is being furthered becomes subversion of democracy as they do not have mandate of people & their acts a breach of public peace.
Regards,
WEDS
