BABA RAMDEV - ANNA HAZARE & ANTI-CORRUPTION MOVEMENT IN INDIA.

The biggest hurdle for the smooth running of parliamentary democracy in India since independence was the system of Defection. First Nehru was guilty of not enacting a law to banish it and later on the other Indian Premiers until Rajiv Gandhi became Premier of India. The height of defections in India at the Centre and more in the States was such that some legislators were known to change their parties and defect to other parties of their choice for material benefits almost every day and every hour. In one North Indian State once a legislator named Mr. Ram created a record of defecting innumerable times within a short time, that means he even defected twice a day finally acquiring him a name as “Aya Ram & Gaya Ram”. This name finally became the synonym of Defection. He was the joke of the system of Indian democracy which was torn into pieces more by the Northern Indians. To arrest this trend of defection Indira Gandhi was in a better position by introducing Anti-Defection bill in the Parliament but she succumbed to this type of defection game because she wanted first to play her dirty politics by using the game of defection to woo the legislators of other parties towards her and win the confidence in the Parliament and thus make a big mockery of Indian democracy.

Finally she had to be shot dead – excuse of her shooting was different – and bring in her eldest son Rajiv Gandhi on her throne to bring about the legislation in the Parliament banning defection, that is the Anti-Defection Bill. Though it was not hundred percent perfect but at least with this legislation there appeared a brake on easy defection like Aya Ram & Gaya Ram. This legislation came only because of Rajiv Gandhi who as a fresher in politics wanted to bring about some changes in Indian political system. Otherwise Congressmen running Indian Governments since independence starting from Nehru were guilty of keeping defection not only alive but running smoothly. What Rajiv Gandhi’s grand father and mother did not accomplish he accomplished for the good of India. But this accomplishment was acquired only after the assassination of one mighty premier of India, Mrs. Indira Ghandhi. If she was not assassinated, anti-defection bill would never come into existence. In this regard, her assassination was a blessing in disguise.

Now a movement in India is gaining a momentum to force the Government of India to pass a legislation banning corruption. Anna Hazare has conducted a fast for a few days till Government of India relented with a promise to do the needful. But later on it reneged forcing Hazare and his team to doubt the sincerity of the Government. Breaking its promise is the culture of Congress Party Government. During Indira Ghandi’s premiership Jay Prakash Narayan took the initiative to pacify the gangs of bandits taking shelter in big and deep jungles in North India to surrender with a promise from Indira Ghandi that these bandits will be shown clemency for surrendering. Finally when these bandits surrendered, Indian Government under Indira Gandhi refused to fulfil its promise of clemency. Jay Praksh Narayan was annoyed and was put into embarrassing position because of the betrayal of Indira Gandhi. The dignity, credibility and sincerity of JP came into question because of the crookedness and lying of Indira Gandhi. Then the remainingg was the history and the direct involvement of JP into active politics with a slogan of “Total Revolution” in Seventies.

Government of India under Congressmen is a Liar and Traitor. It encourages looting the nation and nation’s wealth by the few politicians, by not introducing legislation in the parliament banning corruption. By doing this the Government of India is going against the development of India. The Government of India is supporting corruption for this reason forces working against corruption and persons raising their voices against corruption are suppressed. Government of India is promoting corruption otherwise it would spontaneously initiate anti-corruption legislation and bring back black money from the foreign banks. Indian Government has no will to do good for the Indians and India. India is ruled by anti-Indians and corrupt people. Is another Premier’s assassination necessary to introduce in the Parliament a legislation on anti-corruption by the new premier as did by Rajiv Gandhi when he legalised anti-defection?

Baba Ramdev Yadav according to the Government of India is not an upright man. If this is so, then why the crook Government of India sent its top team of Cabinet Ministers like beggars to deal with Baba and plead with him to withdraw the fast in Delhi? If Baba is bad then the Government of India is worst because it deals and begs with the bad person. Government of India now cast allegation on Baba of his wrong doings but where was the Government of India for such a long period to raise this issue? Was the Government of India sleeping for such a long period to accuse Baba and was got up only when Baba went on hunger strike? Baba Ramdev Yadav may be at fault but nobody so far legally proved his wrong doings. Just talking in the air will not help and as a matter of interest Baba has challenged all his detractors and Indian Government to prove his wrong doings in the court of law and if found guilty he deserves punishment.

I am not a follower of Baba’s cult but surely I support his movement to force the Government of India to pass legislations on anti-corruption and to bring back the black money the corrupt Indian tycoons stashed illegally in foreign banks. This money belongs to India and Indians. Those who support good of India will surely support Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev Yadav in their movement against corruption. Both Hazare and Baba awakened the conscience of Indians and now it is the turn of all the patriotic Indians to support them on these 2 issues. I will even support the Devil if the Devil fights for these two causes even though I know the Devil is a Devil. The youth of India like the youth in some Arab countries must work and fight against injustice done to India by the Government of India by supporting the corrupt and corruption. For their better future the youth of India must fight against the corrupt Government of India under the Congress party headed by an Italian Kindergarten lady teacher who for so many years remained in India as Italian citizen inspite of getting married to Indian husband. She disliked Indian citizenship, India and Indians. Can anyone trust the love and patriotism to India of such a lady? Is she capable to lead India?

While concluding I condemn the action taken by the Government of India in brutally uprooting the peaceful followers of Baba in the middle of the night while they were on their peaceful strike at Delhi. In a democracy peaceful resistance is allowed. Worst part of this brutality was manhandling of women and children and even molesting females by the security force of the Government of India. Good that Baba Ramdev Yadav fled otherwise the security as planned would kill Baba thereby putting the blame elsewhere. Government of India under Congress party leadership is capable of committing such crimes. Baba as leader fleeing is not uncommon. Even Mahatma Gandhi in the initial stages of his freedom movement escaped from attracting attention of the British authorities by pushing others in front in order not to fall into the hands of British authorities and thus avoid the rudderless leadership of his movement. On the night of the invasion of Kuwait the entire leadership of Kuwait fled to Saudi Arabia instead of falling into the hands of Saddam Hussein. By fleeing to Saudi Arabia the Kuwaiti leadership managed to work for the liberation of Kuwait from Saudi Arabia. It was not an act of cowardice to flee. Good that Baba was found alive by fleeing from the scene otherwise there would have been chaos all over India. Baba’s fleeing from the scene was the need of the hour.

ONE MORE REPLY ON NISSER DIAS' ARTICLE GOA BANDH DEFEAT ....

Travis has left a new comment on your post "GOA BANDH WAS DEFEATED BY THE PARENTS.":

The only people suffering from the Bandhs in Goa are the people themselves. While the party starters arrive in their Limos and royal chariots to create fear in the AAM admi they converge together and force the small time business people, various company employees and innocent school children to skip their day at work and bear innumerable losses. Strikes were never peaceful in Goa, it was all fueled with rage and anger by the opposite parties. After the bandh would any of these parties level with the losses that people had to bear, no - they are content with their pride and ego that is created by infusing terror in people with their so called Bandh. Lets face it Goa is gone to the Dogs, to rescue it we need to break our shells and hit the Govt where it hurts the most. Their pride and ego. We must not fear these goons that try to ruin our lives by their communal hatred and greed for money, rather strive to make Goa a better place for all of us peaceful Goenkars to live in.
