Can Anna fight alone against corruption?
Social activist Anna Hazare, who is engaged in an endless fight against corruption, was dismayed to see very poor response to his meeting held at Hyderabad on Sunday evening. Hardly there were a thousand people attend his meeting out of which were his ‘India against Corruption’ forum members and some retired people. Hazare, who is used to draw huge crowds wherever he holds meetings, is shocked to see poor turnout at Hyderabad. Probably, it happens because due to lack of co-ordination between the organizers and lack of proper publicity about his meeting. However, it did not deter his confidence levels. He continues his speech with his usual confidence tone. He said even if could gather support of 6 crore out of 125 crore people of the country, he can complete his task.
While, the grand old man of the country is rallying with his fight, the poor response from the people may discourage him from further touring down in the south. If, people ignore such movements then it will be nothing less of a patting for the ruling governments to go ahead with their corrupt practices like Auguesta helicopters’ scams. Unless people stand by social activists like him and Aravind Kejriwal, even they also can’t dare to raise the finger against the government. During the last five years of Congress ruling several scams have surfaced one after the other, but all of them suppressed during the course of time, only because people have lost interest in them. If, the ignorance continues further it will lead to a disaster in their lives. Hence, it is time for the people to at lest stand by the persons like Anna Hazare who are sparing his time to fight on their behalf.
