Anna is speaking unarmed 'revolution'

Revolution by Anna?

FACT: Social activist Anna Hazare called for a revolution to "fight against the government and change the system". "We believe completely in the country's parliament but the government is producing the flawed version of the bill before it," he said. Hazare further said that the fight for a stringent Lokpal bill is fine, but there is a need for a revolution to change the prevalent system in the country. "A revolution on a much larger scale is the need of the hour to fight against the government and change the system," he said. 

"This is a fight for change and till the time our system doesn't change we won't progress. Even after 64 years there is corruption and scams, what is the use of this Independence? This freedom is not right," said Hazare. The government is only concerned about power and money," he added. (economictimes.indiatimes.com 15 August 2011).

OWL WATCH: The “players” who are prompting Anna should come out now. Putting gun on Anna’s shoulder and shooting from behind is a dirty game. Baba Ramdev, VHP, BJP and Swami Agnivesh (a sympathizer of Maoists) and some more “artists” are portraying a kaleidoscopic movement. This is not a common peoples’ movement. A “mock revolution” by another set of corrupt organizations is to be seen next. Our democratic structure cannot be changed. Therefore “change of system” is not constitutionally accepted and “Change of policies” is also not palatable to many people. This government may be in trouble if these “players” mobilize some other political parties who are supporting the Congress to run the alliance. Surely the Congress will activate its “crisis management cell” now.
