Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Subverting Democracy ?


Subverting  Democracy  ?

Ministers are claiming that Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare are subverting democratic processes.

Now come on !

Is making people aware of a social evil, making them aware of their democratic rights, a subversion of parliamentary democracy ?

To my best knowledge, neither Anna nor Baba, has ever advocated dissolution of parliament and imposition of President’s rule !

They are fully aware – and staunchly believe – that Lokpal Bill / Delivery of Service Bill / Recall of Elected Representatives Bill etc. have to be passed by the parliament.

I think Baba / Anna should now , focus their energies, their arguments on educating the members of parliament.

How about asking our Members of Parliament to attend public hearings in their respective constituencies and openly declare their “ stand “ on these bills and how they plan to vote ?

And conducting non-violent, peaceful, absolutely silent demonstrations in front of their homes ? Those are perfectly democratic processes !

They are answerable to people who elected them !

With regards
