Under the piling mount-everest of corruption in India, CWG scam, 2G scam and Adarsh Society scam have become order of the day. India in the face of moral bankruptcy and value crisis yearns for revival. Corruption has reached its threshold limit and every-one wants to get rid of it.
Civil society's battle against corruption acquired its sharpest edge ever as veteran social activist Anna Hazare began a fast unto death at the capital's landmark Jantar Mantar demanding greater public role in the Anti-Corruption Bill (Lokpal Bill), which has now been considered and put aside by successive regimes for the last 42 years.
Anna Hazare ignored several pleas of the government to defer his fast as he stood firm on his demand for a joint committee comprising government and civil society leaders to rework the current draft Lokpal Bill. He maintained that the current Bill covering only politicians was inadequate as politicians often colluded with officials to indulge in corruption.
