Dear Mr. Hazare,

Dear Mr. Hazare,

C’mon be a good boy now and eat. Or don’t, just stop creating a scene out there in the public. You do know the bill you’re proposing isn’t practical. Why this tamasha  ?  Stop behaving like a 5 year old adamant kid crying on the road, blackmailing the parents to get what he needs. This isn’t a good way to get the candy, is it? I mean,  fasting for the nation and making India corruption free and stuff is all fine, but you do know the bill isn’t the solution. Don’t you ?  I know the issue needs to be addressed but this isn’t the way. Tomorrow, any x y z will come out on the road and start blackmailing the government, the way you are. How do you expect the Jan Lokpal bill to pass the parliament? This isn’t an oligarchy, this is a government we chose. The people of India, its 1.2 billion masses chose. India remains the largest democracy in the world today. And you want a group of people to police everybody including the Prime Minister, ministers, judiciary, everyone? You want to give them powers of investigation and prosecution? Seriously?  You want a bureaucracy above a bureaucracy? How does that solve the issue? How do you know the Lokpal itself isn’t corrupt? You are giving tremendous powers to a group of people who can screw our prime minister too? Also, the lokpal essentially emphasizes on the fact that everybody is evil, the constitution, the democracy, the government, the PM, the house of ministers, the judiciary. I mean, give it a break. Indian masses are hyper active and emotional, they’d support anything that ends with a ‘Jai Hind’ or a ‘Vande Matram’ , we have had a glorious freedom struggle of over 150 years and we have grown up hearing stories of our struggle for independence, I don’t care how many people support you, they are there to contribute whatever they can to the country and over 70% do not know what Jan Lokpal is all about. So stop giving me the figures. You defy democracy and yet taking aid of democracy to sustain .And talking about corruption. Who isn’t corrupt? Aren’t the patriotic masses sitting there at Ramlila Maidaan corrupt? Have you never paid money to get your work done? Everybody is corrupt. The one who pays and the one who gets. You want to start a movement? Tell the people to stop bribing, whatever it takes. Get your work done in 20 days, but do not bribe. You do not need to wave the flags and cry Vande matram everytime to prove your patriotism. You do not need a Tamasha to contribute your bit to the nation and society at large. It’s high time, we stop blaming and tread the right path.
