Respect PM’s grand gesture

Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh alongwith the entire House has urged the fasting Gandhian and social activist for introduction of his version of Jan Lokpal Bill to break his fast unto death, which is entering 11th day today. Prime Minister has saluted his resolve, determination and indomitable courage to fight corruption. He has also assured him full consideration of his version of the bill, Aruna Roy's, a renowned social activist and member of NCPRI, version of bill and alongwith Govt’s Lokpal Bill in Parliament.
Prime Minster has created a history by showing a grand gesture to a Gandhian of high morality ,integrity and honesty to break his fast immediately. Because nation needs his service for many more years, he must keep his health robust and healthy. The Gandhian in true spirit must consider the concern of PM,Parliament and the nation about his health. He must end his fast immediately in national interest.PM's appeal amply reflects that the government is seeking a credible solution to the Lok Pal logjam. There is need to collectively find credible solutions to corruption. The Govt is committed to a strong and effective Lok Pal Bill and is open to suggestion from all sections. Dr Singh said the Standing Committee will give its full consideration to all drafts on Lok Pal Bill including that by Team Anna.
Dr Manmohan Singh also appealed to Anna Hazare to end his fast. Speaker and other members of the Lok Sabha also joined Prime Minister in his appeal to Anna.
Team Anna must also know that in whichever country of the world Lokpal or Ombudsman has been appointed to check graft, the supremacy of the Parliament has nowhere been challenged. The the importance of the greatest institution of democracy, that is Parliament,must be kept intact. Its consent any bill of national importance has always been of paramount importance. So, keeping in view the concern of the nation about his deteriorating health, he must immediately break his fast and guide the nation for many more years.
Whether it is Sweden, Finland, UK, Hong Kong or Indonesia, everywhere parliamentary democracy has been kept above everything else. The office of the Chief Executive of the nation has been kept unchallenged. The importance of Parliament in democracy is amply reflected in the speech given by Sharad Yadav,JD(U) boss,inside it, has been eloquent so far. He has dwelt enormously on the utility of Parliament and its vital role in representing the wishes and aspirations of all sections of the people of India.
Anna Hazare must adopt rational approach and break his fast. The situation demands that he must listen to Parliament, the temple of democracy.
