Social reformer Anna Hazare is receiving massive support for his fast-unto-death agitation on August 16, 2011 for the amendment of the Jan Lokpal Bill. But there are still a large number of people who are unsure whether they should include themselves in Anna’s protest. The following points will hopefully make their doubts clear.

–          The module of the Jan Lokpal Bill proposed by Anna will be a powerful tool against corruption. It will have the potential to punish any government employee found guilty of corruption of any kind. The government has its own version of Lokpal Bill. However, that bill is a toothless tiger. It is government’s conspiracy to bring out their version of the bill so that they can continue to indulge in corruption. So, in order to slap this conspiracy, protest is required and for that it is necessary to support Anna.

–          Anna is 74 years old. If the Lokpal Bill is passed, he isn’t going to be benefitted much since he won’t be here for long. This means, he is bearing all the pain for us, the youth of India and for that, he is also ready to give his life protesting for us! If someone, who is not related to us, is doing such a huge sacrifice for us, can’t we just show our support for him in whatever manner possible? We can at least do this!

–          There is no guarantee that corruption will be wiped out and India will start prospering if the bill is passed. But at least there is some hope. Hope keeps life moving and if someone is showing us that hope, I feel, we should jump at the opportunity. When we reach the closing stage of our lives, we will have the satisfaction that we at least tried doing something. It’s a much better feeling at that stage of life rather than regretting that we didn’t even try!

I hope these reasons more than justify our support for the Great Gandhian. So let us do our bit in support of Anna Hazare’s protest on August 16, 2011.
