Fight against corruption

Anna Hazare is on fast to get Lokpal bill prepared by civil society passed in Parliament to eliminate corruption that has become a cancer of the society.

Highlighted by media, a huge crowd assembled across the country to support Anna Hazare's campaign against corruption.

Anna Hazare and his supporters across India understand that Lokpal bill laid out by civil society can eliminate corruption from country.

Indeed, law is a part of solution, not the solution itself. Lokpal bill might stop corruption on government level, but it cannot eliminate from society. Even those, who are supporting Anna Hazare for fight against corruptions, they themselves did not disclose about their huge treasures, flats, villas, properties and big businesses earned and build through illegal ways. Even it is not disclosed their resources.

BJP which is in forefront in this campaign did not declare how many its MPs, activists, leaders, and their relatives misused government missionaries in getting government projects or tenders in all states in the country.

If this party is serious in removing the corruption, so first it has to bring out the irregularities been made by its MLC in Forbesganj, where old road which was being used by villagers blocked by forcefully under full protection of state government, as well as, this party has to setup a committee which look into the misuse of MLAs or MPs funds and all other irregularities, whether it is on small level or big level, been made by its leaders in getting land or establishing companies etc. 

Law cannot curb the corruption. Corruptions could be eliminated when everyone will make commitment that will live as an honest person and those who got money through illegal ways return them to government conceding their mistakes. 

Current fight against corruption could destabilize UPA government, but it cannot achieve its target. Agitations, demonstrations or Lokpal bill prepared by civil society cannot protect this country from the impacts of corruption, as it has permeated in society completely.

In an era when lust of money is dominating everywhere and everyone thinks to collect more money and more wealth. In an era whereby people are killing one another, burning their wives and using all tactics to enhance their economic condition, law and agitation cannot stop corruptions.

In an era where materialistic is everything, raising voice against corruption is good. But this problem has fled into the society due to the campaign that is dominating in the society where money, wealth, multi-stories buildings, new car, costly mobile have become a distinction of the society.

Without giving full attention on the roots leading to corruptions, agitations, law and fast cannot leave its any effect on ground.
