Slamming the central government over various scams, veteran social activist Anna Hazare's key aide Arvind Kejriwal has said that the Centre plays politics of power, corruption, and crime whereas they are fighting for truth, and honesty.
Addressing people at an anti-corruption rally in Kanpur, Kejriwal said government plays bad politics whereas Anna and his team are fighting for the welfare of the country with honesty.
"These people play politics of power, corruption, and crime and we fight for truth, honesty, and people," said Kejriwal.
Reiterating the importance of an effective Jan Lokpal Bill that will help to counter the problem of rampant corruption in the country, Kejriwal said: "The campaign has been initiated to make the public aware and put pressure on their representatives to support the passage of the Lokpal Bill during the coming Winter Session of Parliament."
Kejriwal also added that corruption has affected people and made the government system opaque.
"The people are distressed with corruption and there is big support for Jan Lokpal (Ombudsman) bill. We conducted a referendum at various places and results show that 90 per cent of the people want Jan Lokpal bill, but some people and media dismissed it by saying that this referendum was conducted by us and questioned the sanctity of the referendum," he said
"Now this referendum has been conducted by Central Election Commission and Jan Lokpal bill was made an issue and in that the Congress was defeated. It is clear that people want a strong Jan Lokpal bill and we want UPA government to introduce Jan Lokpal bill and we are not against the UPA government," he added.
Kejriwal also said that every single citizen who is against corruption is a part of the anti-graft campaign.
"We don't have coordinators; every single man who is against corruption and who doesn't want corruption is a part of this campaign. When people came to Ramlila Maidan, we didn't ask people at the entry gate that whether he or she is tainted or not, or whether you have any ambition or not," he added
How did Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi look when he first came from South Africa? He gave up a flourishing practice at one call from his country to fight for his countries Independence.
Did he have the same looks as Arvind Kejriwal?
Kejriwal joined Tata Steel right after his graduation from IIT Kharagpur. Kejriwal quit his job with Tata Steel in 1992 and spent some time working with Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata, the Ramakrishna Mission in the North-East India and Nehru Yuva Kendra.
Kejriwal joined the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) in 1995 and worked as an Additional Commissioner of Income Tax in Delhi. In January 2000, he took a sabbatical from work and founded Parivartan, a Delhi based citizens’ movement which works on ensuring a just, transparent and accountable governance. Thereafter, in February 2006, he resigned from the job, to work full-time at Parivartan. In December 2006, Kejriwal along with Manish Sisodia and Abhinandan Sekhri started Public Cause Research Foundation, which works for promoting better local self governance and RTI related campaigns
In Anna too we have the same zeal as Gandhiji in his later years, ready to go on a fast for any cause he strongly felt about.
So, here, we have two Gandhi's required to fight a demon which is much more worse than the British Empire, the Congress party, which too are led by two pseudo Gandhi's.
The battle is to be bloody for the pseudo Gandhi's will use all the arsenal which a government in power will use.
Now a PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court against Anna's NGO by some lackey of the Congress party to defame Anna.
Earlier, the income tax department at the behest of the Congress party had sent a notice to Arvind Kejriwal to refund money
