Anna Hazare at this age is able to give second awakening, unperturbed of people calling him with different names and allegations. He is being called RSS and BJP’s trump card to gain power in the center. He is being called an Army deserter, after this he may be called other countries’ agent. Whatever allegations are being made are just to tarnish his image and interrupt his anti corruption movement. We must have right information about him, I presume that people don’t know much about him and are just following the wave of Jan Lokpal bill movement.
He is a retired army man who gave his services for the country in 1965 and 1971 Pakistan wars. While serving he survived two chances on his life, so he decided to dedicate his life to serve the people. Despite subsequent allegations that he had deserted from the army, official records show that he was honourably discharged in 1975 after completing his 12 years of service. He used gratuity received from the service to restore the temple which became the focal point of his community service.
He contributed in developing his Ralegan Siddhi village into a role model for the other villages. He worked for all basic necessities and social issues of the village like education, power, harvesting, banking, alcoholism, upliftment , etc., not only with money but he also contributed in labour and motivated all the villagers. . He was awarded the Padma Bhushan—the third-highest civilian award—by the Government of India in 1992 for his efforts.
Why had Government given so many awards to an army deserter?
He is avid reader of works of Mahatma Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda and Vinobha Bhawe.
He was instrumental in getting RTI for us. He has been fighting for justice in Maharashtra and got six ministers sacked. When an IAS was arrested in Gujarat, Anna supported him.
Government is not able to effectively tackle this movement and have given inroad to opposition parties. Corrupt politicians don’t want laws for themselves so they are maneuvering the debates in different directions. Law should be made to bring discipline and order in the society, otherwise there will be great hindrance in the path of progress.
The allegations put on Anna and his team members can be dealt after passing of the bill.
