Crusade..

The country is passing through a very crucial phase these days. A sense of renaissance  is in the air. Common man is feeling suffocated due  to rampant corruption, lethargy and arrogance of  present regime.  Anna Hazare has incarnated  in the form of a crusader, who has aroused the hopes of billions of people to live with dignity.

Questions are being raised  about propriety of his movement. They  are seeing dangers  for the constitution and parliamentary democracy. I have to raise certain issues.

  1. Constitution was enacted  to fulfill the wishes of the people. If the constitution could not deliver the desired results, why should we not rewrite the constitution ?
  1. Constitution is liable to the people or people are liable to the constitution ?
  1. Was this not a failure of the  Constitution , when Sri Lalu Yadav , after resigning from post of Bihar CM, for charges of corruption, could appoint his wife at the post ?
  1. Is this not a failure of constitution, when several times , Governments are saved or discharged  by purchasing  our legislators, MPs like cattles ?
  1. I think thousands of questions can be asked from  these  so called  saviours  of  democracy  and constitution. They have hijacked democracy, as they have learnt the art  of winning elections.. I think they should do some soul searching, and if they can find it somewhere, they should  ask these questions.
