Venue : Rai Umanathbali Auditorium , Lucknow
Please attend the meeting to finalize the Fast from 5th april 2011 onwards.
we urge upon you to read about Jan Lokpal Bill- a strong anti
corruption law drafted by the people of India. Anna Hazare is sitting
on fast from 5th April to demand this law. We all feel that this law
would create a very strong deterrence against corruption in India.
This is a good solution to many of our problems.
Please read the bill, and other documents at
www.indiaagainstcorruption.org
Please do let us know what you feel about it. Once you are convinced,
please join us in getting this act passed. We all should mobilise
large number of people for Anna's fast at Jantar Mantar or in our own
cities/villages whereever we are and build overall pressure on the
government to make this movement a success.In Lucknow the Movement is
being led by Dr. Sandeep Pandey and joined by numerous non-political
organizations and social figures.
Pamphlet for Anna Hazare's fasta mahatma announces fast unto death
----------------------------------------------------------
Anna Hazare has given an ultimatum to the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan
Singh to enact stringent anti-corruption law – the peoples "Jan Lokpal
Bill"! Jail to the corrupt must happen! We have been betrayed by those
that are leading us!
When & Where?
From 5th April at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi.
Who is Anna Hazare?
A soldier, lone survivor in his unit in 1965 Indo-Pak war, Anna
dedicated his life to the well-being of society. A bachelor, an
ascetic, he has no possessions, no bank balance and lives in a temple.
He is a living Mahatma Gandhi!
In Maharashtra, Anna has single handedly transformed barren and dry
regions into green and food surplus areas. He has fasted unto death on
several earlier occasions. He forced the Maharashtra government to
dismiss the corrupt - 6 ministers and 400 officers. Due to his fast,
the govt enacted the Maharashtra RTI Act. In 2006, when government of
India tried to amend the Central RTI Act, he again went on an
indefinite fast and forced the Indian government not to amend RTI Act.
Leaders, organizations and the common man from across India will be
with him. This is a do or die moment – let us make it happen!
Across India, join Swami Ramdev, Sri Sri Ravishankar, Swami Agnivesh,
Arch Bishop Vincent Concessao, Mahmood A Madani, Kiran Bedi, J M
Lyngdoh, Shanti Bhushan, Prashant Bhushan, Arvind Kejriwal, Mufti
Shamoom Qasmi, Mallika Sarabhai, Arun Bhatia, Sunita Godara, All India
Bank Employees Federation, PAN IIT Alumni Association, Common Cause
and many other prominent organizations and leaders, as India comes out
on the streets! 100+ CITIES WILL RALLY BEHIND ANNA!
This is a defining moment for India that can give our children a
better future! Let us unite and stand by him! Thousands will be there
to support him. Will you be there?
Anna's appeal to the people:
When I sit on fast from 5 April, I urge my fellow countrymen to
Join me in fasting for one, two, three or whatever number of days you
can comfortably fast.
Along with fast, please pray to God (whoever you believe in) for
better and corruption free India. Collective prayers from all the
people of India would definitely have a huge impact.
Write an impassioned plea to our Prime Minister that we look upon him
to pass "Jan Lokpal Bill", else we will be compelled not to vote for
his party in next elections.
Remain calm and peaceful and develop the courage to go to jail, if
required, in this next freedom movement.
If possible, come and stay with Anna at Jantar Mantar for a few days
from April 5th.

Salient features of Jan Lokpal Bill
Drafted by Justice Santosh Hegde, Prashant Bhushan and Arvind
Kejriwal, this Bill has been refined on the basis of feedback received
from public on website and after series of public consultations. It
has also been vetted by and is supported by Shanti Bhushan, J M
Lyngdoh, Kiran Bedi, Anna Hazare etc. It was sent to the PM and all
CMs on 1st December. However, there is no response.
An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state
will be set up
Like Supreme Court and Election Commission, they will be completely
independent of the governments. No minister or bureaucrat will be able
to influence their investigations.
Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore:
Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year.
Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt
politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.
The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be
recovered at the time of conviction.
How will it help a common citizen: If any work of any citizen is not
done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose
financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as
compensation to the complainant.
So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter
card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or
any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have
to get it done in a month's time. You could also report any case of
corruption to Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor quality
roads been constructed or panchayat funds being siphoned off. Lokpal
will have to complete its investigations in a year, trial will be over
in next one year and the guilty will go to jail within two years.
But won't the government appoint corrupt and weak people as Lokpal
members? That won't be possible because its members will be selected
by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by
politicians, through a completely transparent and participatory
process.
What if some officer in Lokpal becomes corrupt? The entire functioning
of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint
against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer
dismissed within two months.
What will happen to existing anti-corruption agencies? CVC,
departmental vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be
merged into Lokpal. Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to
independently investigate and prosecute any officer, judge or
politician.
JAN LOKPAL BILL will act as deterrent and instill fear against corruption
