Anna Hazare, whose fast pushed through the Jan Lokpal Bill, is not tired yet. He assured many more fights in the coming days. Though his declining health showed some sign of weariness among the supporters, the 75-year-old Anna is not ready to give up at any cost.
The youth who participated in the Jan Lokpal Movement are in full spirit asking "What do we do next?" and they are appealed not to tolerate corruption in any way.
Team Anna is now ready to take the Jan Lokpal agitation further by undertaking yatras and referendum to certify that the people are acquainted with their elected representatives' performance and their poise on the Jan Lokpal Bill. He feels that these steps can assure that people hold the MPs answerable. The team Anna is ready to take action against people who made wrong allegations against the movement and tried to defame the committee members. Asking an apology from them, Prashant Bhushan said, "Some newspapers and magazines have published articles that defame the core committee members, and are misguiding people. Digvijay Singh has been saying that the Jan Lokpal Movement is backed by the RSS. We will serve defamation notice on such people and ask for an apology. " Bhuwar Singh Meghvanshi, associated with Aruna Roy's organisation Majdur Kisan Shakti Sangathan, will be sent a notice for fingering another member of the committee, Arvind Kejriwal's father.
Hazare will take an active part in the yatra with other members and he says, "I will myself undertake propaganda against the MPs who are against the Bill in the yatra. I am not afraid of anything." Team Anna will soon be appointing committee of three-retired judges of Supreme Court and the High Court to investigate corruption cases against its members and the movement. Team Anna aims at uniting all the other organizations in their movement.
The anti-corruption protest has brought a wide awakening among the Indians. People are ready to go to any extent to show their support for Anna and against the corruption. The "Main Anna Hoon" or "I Am Anna" caps are now the latest accessory among the Indians.
Kiran Bedi came up with this innovative thought of wearing the "I Am Anna "cap when asked for bribe. Bedi is all charged up with enthusiasm and said, "All of you who are wearing the Anna cap, I suggest that you should carry this with you to uproot corruption from your lives. Every time an official asks you for bribe, just wear the Anna cap to put across your message," Recently an accused in 2008 cash-for-vote scam appeared in Delhi court wearing a Gandhian cap written "Main Anna Hoon"
The fight for better India does not only end with Jan Lokpal Bill. Hazare's next focus will be towards the rising suicidal activities among the farmers. He wants the education system to be corruption free so that the farmer's children can pay money and get themselves admitted to schools and colleges. Anna feels, "There is a big chain of corruption and we have to break that. We will bring a change in the country," says Anna. Anna calls people of India his own family and said, 'I might not have a family but all you people are my family and together we can do lot of things. We have to fight for true independence and a real republic."
