Everyone is coming out on streets for a cause. For some - It is to support Anna, for some it is to condemn the corrupted parties (ruling and opposition), for some it is way to reap the benefits and get famous, for some it’s fun. Whatever it is I feel proud to be a part of this movement. This movement is not against any particular person, this movement is not against any political party, but this movement is against the environment we are living in. Corruption has become a part of life and people have started to accept it without any difficulty. That means tomorrow we can see one more civil right "right to take bribe". Some people ask in name of "chai paani", some as "service fee", for doing their assigned tasks. Ambulance crews demand tea money before picking up a sick person. Offering bribes to the right officials has become necessary when applying for public housing, schooling and other public services.
I was listening to the views of Rajdeep (CNN-IBN) and Yogender (Political Analyst) and do not support them when they say that people are just trying to prove that they can bend a government and this fight is not against corruption. I really feel sorry that even big journalists and so called analysts can't hear the heart beat of Indians when even I can feel it sitting right now in Austin (USA). I say it again and again that this fight is against corruption. If we want our country to survive in these tough economic conditions, it is now when the change has to happen. It is now when we have to remove corruption. It could mean India’s global image getting affected in short term but it will give everyone - we and our next generations - a platform to flourish. The capabilities and power of India can be really seen, the hard work and intellectual of Indians can really be appreciated only if we put an end to corruption.
I request each one of you to support the cause this time, to make the government bring so strict laws that can de-root corruption. We don't need promises that bill will be passed in a year and will be implemented in 2 years. We want to see the change now. I request our honourable Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh to recall Guru Nanak Dev Ji's word and take a strong stand and bring strong laws against corruption even if that means that he will not be elected as PM by congress in next term. I assure you Sir that your name will be written in golden words if you can really do something for India which unfortunately is stuck in the web of corruption. Show Obama, show Sarkozy, that why Indians are proud of themselves. Show that you can deliver something majestic today and bring India from a developing nation to a developed by taking strong steps to remove corruption from society completely.
Vote for a Corruption Free India. Jai Hind!
