Baba after Anna


After social activist Anna Hazare’s fast unto death at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi against growing corruption and demand for Jan Lokpal Bill to check corruption at all levels of government departments shook the Manmohan Singh-led UPA government,Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev has decided to go fast unto death at Ram Lila Maidan from tomorrow for unearthing the crores of black money stashed inside and outside the country. But their areas of activities are anything to go by, they profess themselves as crusador against corruption only attract media attention of the nation. They are not law makers nor can it be possible in our parliamentary form goverment without following due procedure for any legislation.
Amidst speculation whether he will go ahead with his hunger strike, Baba Ramdev cancelled a press conference scheduled this evening in view of serious dialogue with government.
His aides notified the media about the cancellation of the press conference at Ramlila Maidan, where he is to sit on fast from Saturday, saying the yoga guru would update the media about conclusive outcome today.
As Anna Hazare got huge public support from all corners of the country, Baba also claims to have the support of more than one crore followers. Undoubtedly, the issues that they have taken up are of utmost importance for the general public and because all political parties have failed for one reason or the other, they get huge public support.The issues are of public concerns as they directly become their immediate victims.
The people also have become disillusioned with the government and political parties. So, they have found a saviour in Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev. They support both the activists against corruption in huge numbers. Both have unsettled the government and it has been put in Hameletian syndrom.
Corruption must be wiped out from the nation. And there must be no leneincy against those government servants, politicians of ruling and opposition political parties who are found guilty of corruption. They must be punished quickly.
There is no dearth of agencies meant for checking corruption but its virus is so fast that it has infected them also and made them useless.
India is a democratic country and people are sovereign. It is run by parliamentary system of government. Rule of law is in place and Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) is there to make laws of all kinds. It is supreme as it consists of elected representative of the people. So, it is not possible for the government that the moment Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare make demand on it to unearth black money stashed outside and inside the country.
The government will have to legislate the bill and it would also have to make treaty with other countries where our black money is stashed. Only then black money could be unearth.
