Re: [IAC#RG] Anna retires from anti-corruption war

Dear Mr Gaur

I shall be very blunt about this.

It is becoming difficult for IAC to collaborate with Anna (when time comes) if he, and the people with him, do not take steps to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. His choice of associates is also arbitrary, situational and opportunist.

Issues like Lokpal, Right to Recall, Right to Reject etc are complex LEGAL and ADMINISTRATIVE issues for which his organisation BVJA demonstrates no proper understanding, and persists in "dumbing down".

IAC does not believe in rhetoric but in deliverables. Neither does this IAC need any  certificate from Anna to go about its work.

I am linking to 3 recent articles on Anna. They are quite disturbing.

(Same issue on which I complained to Delhi Police 2 years back - misuse of national flag on Anna's motor vehicles)

(Same old problem of Anna accepting invitations from unknown people / organisations and fights over money - petty sums now - breaking out).
Six months back time when IAC discussed Anna's Orissa trip and faction fights there they covered it up. At that time they were fighting over Rs. 25 lakhs - now they are fighting over Rs. 25,000

http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-08-08/news-interviews/41168495_1_anna-hazare-gandhi-satyagraha
(Prakash Jha on Anna - fairly incisive except for his argument that change will only come through politics, but a must read for at least one line)

"Gandhi being apolitical remained political right to the end and had the power. Anna was expected to be apolitical and had no knowledge of politics."

This IAC is APOLITICAL and yet, as you can see, we are political through and through.

Dear Sirs,
 
The Heading ' Anna retires from anti-corruption 'War is misleading.
It is too early to read into his' reintegration into IAC fold' At best it could be that he will continue under his banner and IAC under theirs but they may find common ground to carry forward the fight. He has clarified the issues on which he will continue the fight.
