Dear Shri Raminder Singh,Thanks for forwarding the Economic Times report by Nidhi about Kejriwal's role in the movement for Lokpal Bill.In this connection, we wish to inform you that the movement for the enactment of "OMBUDSMAN" –LOKPAL BILL – creating LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUTAS in the states was undertaken some 46 years back.The Gandhian Seva & Satyagraha Brigade (formerly LOK SEVAK SANGH) along with TI India started a crusade for this LOKPAL (OMBUDSMAN) and effective implementation of Citizens' Charters & Prevention of Corruption Act in the Gandhian way decade ago. Apart from requesting through regular communications to various important personalities, including the Prime Ministers and heads of all the leading political parties, they resorted to Satyagraha in the Gandhian way and Fast-unto-Death many times. They have repeatedly received assurances of various dignitaries, including the then Prime Minister (Late) Shri I K Gujral.The TURNING POINT in this crusade came during the fast-unto-death on January 30th, 2011, when after the rally for Jan Lokpal by Shri Anna Hazare at Ramlila Maidan, his then associates including Swami Agnivesh, Kiran Bedi, Arvind Kejriwal, Father Dominique and Advocate Prashant Bhusan, came straight from Ramlila Maidan to New Delhi's Jantar Mantar where the then 93 year old (now in his 97th year) Freedom Fighter and Gandhian Shri Shambhu Dutta Ji was sitting on "FAST UNTO DEATH" with his other colleagues. They made a passionate and forceful plea to him and his colleagues to break his fast onto death and give his blessings to them to carry on this crusade and for its success. Kiran Bedi also said to Shri Shambhu Dutta Ji, "I am sitting at your feet and will not get up till you end your fast" since he is quite elder even to her father and hence now it is their responsibility to ensure the enactment of Lokpal.Let our Republic grow from strength to strength where every citizen is provided an effective grievance redressal mechanism & feels safe. We all see each other as Indians only irrespective of caste, colour or creed.It is just for your information.Thanks & regards,S K Agarwal,Gen Secy.On Tue, Apr 7, 2015 at 7:12 AM, Raminder Singh <ramisingh.bbc@gmail.com> wrote:Economic Times reports a very interesting development in AAP politics, Kejriwal abandons Gandhigiri and chooses the confrontational path of Bhagat Singh.Raminder

NEW DELHI: India Against Corruption, which was an umbrella initiative for anti-corruption crusade and Lokpal campaign, has decided to start a "No Gandhi" campaign against counterfeit currency. In its first major campaign after Lokpal, when Arvind Kejriwal had led a splinter group to start Aam Aadmi Party, India Against Corruption has proposed a new series of currency notes to counter fake currency in circulation. IAC has sent a proposal to RBI to introduce currency notes honouring other Indian other Indian heroes of the Independence movement. IAC has proposed that Rs 100 denomination notes with Mahatma Gandhi series be replaced by images of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rs 500 notes with Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj image, Rs 1,000 notes with Rabindranath Tagore image and Rs 200 with Tipu Sultan series.
Speaking to ET, IAC national convenor Sarbajit Roy said, "This is not a suggestion or representation but a formal request from IAC movement for grievance redressal to safeguard the integrity of the Indian state. In case RBI does not take steps to address these concerns, we would stop accepting the currency notes in circulation and start a "No Gandhi" movement.--GANDHIAN SEVA & SATYAGRAHA BRIGADE

Dear Brig Chhikara
Sir,
Thanks for your prompt response.
1) At the outset let me inform you that Netaji was my paternal
great-grandfather's student in patriotism, and the student repaid his
debt to his teacher by saving his teacher's life.
2) As you may recall the IAC is part of a larger and ancient patriotic
movement from the 19th century, which is deeply aware of and immersed
in its history and pays homage to all those who came before us and on
whose work we build on today, Netaji included.
3) As IAC is a pan-Indian movement we have to carefully calibrate our
choices for maximum impact and support. I am sure you will not
disagree that the first objective is to dislodge Gandhi and repel his
image from the common psyche rather than replace him by anybody
specific.
4) The 4 names IAC has proposed were selected after considerable
internal discussions in the wider movements, to provide an initial
impact, balanced representations and a better overall shot at success.
Since apparently I shall be personally spearheading this campaign if
we have to do so, I would find it far easier to make a case for Tagore
versus Gandhi, rather than Netaji versus Gandhi for the Rs. 1,000
note.
5) I also want to make it clear that we are presently not changing the
names IAC is proposing. I am proceeding for the annual retreat /
meeting of IAC's parent body today, and I shall certainly faithfully
convey the views of your INA trust to my seniors.
6) May I also say, humbly, it is also because of such sectarianisms
that the Govt is able to successfully divide us. Hence we appeal to
all those with IAC not to press any names at this stage and focus on
the common larger objectives of nation building and anti-corruption..
