Does Jan Lokpal Bill by our beloved Anna Hazare is really going to make any difference??
Aug 23rd
Indian politics and social issues are in an interesting process these days. The Jan Lokpal bill is proposed by Anna Hazare, who belongs to an NGO in Maharashtra, India. Anna Hazare is a well known activist and a recipient of Padma Bhushan Award in 1992. Through out his life the ex-militia fought for many social issues like prohibition of alcohol, removal of untouchability and development of grain bank, watershed program, milk production, education, conducted collective marriages and gram sabhas for the people.

People has no doubt of intentions and sincerity regarding Lokpal bill as in the early 2000s Anna Hazare led a movement in Maharashtra state which forced the state government to pass a stronger Maharashtra Right to Information Act. This Act was later considered as the base document for the Right to Information Act 2005 (RTI), enacted by the Union Government. It also ensured that the President of India assented to this new Act.
Now Anna is protesting for the approval of Jan Lokpal bill. Hazare initiated a Satyagraha movement for passing a stronger anti-corruption Lokpal (ombudsman) bill in the Indian Parliament as conceived in the Jan Lokpal Bill (People’s Ombudsman Bill).
The Jan Lokpal Bill was drafted earlier by N. Santosh Hegde, former justice of the Supreme Court of India and Lokayukta of Karnataka, Prashant Bhushan, a senior lawyer in the Supreme Court and Arvind Kejriwal, a social activist along with members of the India Against Corruption movement. This draft bill incorporated more stringent provisions and wider power to the Lokpal More >
