Today Anna Hazare was arrested early in the morning from his residence in East Delhi. There was a huge uproar in the Assembly and opposition brought the proceedings to a dead end. They created a huge ruckus and lost a golden opportunity to corner the Government. This goes on to show that our democracy is still in its nascent stages and we are yet to mature. We do not understand what democracy is. Nobody has even bothered to question the opposition for their irresponsible and hegemonic behaviour.
Now the Govt. has offered to release Anna from the Tihar Jail. Now as a law student I fail to understand how can and under what provisions the Govt is going to release him ? Just because of public pressure, then I must say that this is a bad precedent which is being set by the Government. Arrest anybody in the first place without any reason and thereafter release him without any due process of law. Release him just because of supporters pressurizing the Govt. I am of the firm opinion that the Politicians are crooks of the first degree but Anna Hazare is equally opportunistic and equally crooked man. He is making best use of the emotional drama which surrounds him. He also does not have a concrete agenda in front of him, nor does he have any plan. Oppose for the sake of opposing. Why is this man not allowing Lokpal in present form , he could have very well allowed it in present form, have a very healthy debate in the Parliament. The Bill could have been amended. But this man Anna is so self obsessed and we have fools surrounding him, shouting jindabad, who do not know what is next.
Moving around with candles, shouting slogans is not the end. How many of these so called youth, educated supporters know about Lokpal ? I am sure not more than handful of them. It is a sad day that we have fools shouting around for no valid reason, and we call it an agitation against corruption. I doubt if this uncontrolled emotional outburst is going to do any thing good.
I forgot to mention the news hungry channels, who are enjoying the most and keep on broadcasting the same message again and again. Nothing substantial comes out of these news. But they have to run 24 X 7 and atleast this seems to be a good fodder, better than showing some non existent breaking news of a dog being trapped in midst of a river!
