Team Anna’s courageous act

Team Anna has levelled corruption charges against the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, and his 14 other Cabinet colleagues, including the Finance and Home Ministers. It is praiseworthy that they have shown courage by leveling charges of corruption against the most powerful Union Ministers, including Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. It means that they should also be prepared to face the retaliation from the powerful men. The charges they are leveling should also have substance. Otherwise, they may backfire and give birth to vengeance. One thing that has surprised the nation is that Anna Hazare under whom the movement for making Lokpal to eradicate corruption was launched has reportedly said that he is oblivious of the charges made against the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. He will know about the press conferences of Team Anna at which they have released chargesheets against the 14 ministers and the PM when he visits New Delhi. It clearly shows that the press conference was held by Team Anna without the knowledge of the leader of the team Anna Hazare. It also clearly reflects that some of its members do what they like. Their action may give enough signal that they are making use of Anna Hazare to satisfy their own personal interests. It also indicates that some of its members may have grudge against the Manmohan Singh-led UPA government due to the ideological affinity with opposition party and because of that they are using the platform given by Anna Hazare against it. Anna Hazare is oblivious of the press conference. He also considers at least Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh as honest. It suggests either there is complete lack of co-ordination between the team leader and the members or some of the members using the mood of the nation gavalised against corruption to target the government for personal vested interests. By leveling the charges of corruption against the 15 ministers at a time and not talking about their main demand of Lokpal, they squandering the popular mood of the nation in their support to fight against corruption. They are now targeting only the government due to ideological differences , and not the system. Team Anna has leveled charges and suggested how and by whom they are to be investigated. It appears ocular. Undoubtedly, The corruption galore is big. There are 2G Spectrum, Adarsh House scandal, CWG scandal, Coal Blocks, Antrix-Devas and other scandals affixed to the name of Dr. Manmohan Singh UPA government. All these scandal have taken place right under the nose of our honest Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. Can it be possible for an honest Prime Minister to preside over the allegedly corrupt Cabinet? Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh is a man of integrity and honesty but he is certainly a man of inaction. That make him completely unfit to be at the helm of affairs any more.
