Need for a fresh start to the an year old struggle

|About an year ago in 2011, a mass struggle for janlokpal, an anti corruption bill and legal structure began. From activists to common man to media, all actively participated in it.
Only department that didn't wishfully tried lokpal's implementation was POLITICAL ARENA. For the first half year congress resisted and for the rest half opposition parties also showed their true colors!
Finally a feeble bill by government(see its weakness) was presented in parliament, passed in Lok Shaba, and  strategically blocked  in Rajya Sabha. Meetings after meetings, two panels were setup, promises were announced. But nothing happened.
IAC (India against Corruption) also slipped from the path
during MMRDA's poorly planned fast (1st and 2nd report )
and due to Mufti shameem's controversy
Maybe that's why its now time for a fresh start.Hence, we all want IAC to be in form and citizens to avoid 'paid and made' controversies  |

Arvind Kejriwal, Gopal Raj and Manish Sisodia are going to sit on an indefinite fast at  Jantar Mantar from july 25. However, Anna Hazare would not sit  because Anna is not in great shape after several fasts in last one year. However, he will be there at the venue to observe and guide the fast and struggle
 In  Karnataka, N. Santosh Hegde(former Lokayukta of state) and members of the State unit of India Against Corruption, will  also start  demonstrations parallel to July 25th  fast at Freedom Park.

Demands of the fast would be

• Passage of strong Janlokpal
• a special independent investigation against 14 cabinet ministers of the Congress-led UPA-II, in the absence of an independent agency like Lokpal

QUOTE:their words(Santosh Hegde)

• “Although there has been three sessions since the Parliament agreed in principle on a strong Lokpal Bill, there are no indications of any such thing happening. We therefore have no choice but to take to the streets once again to demonstrate citizens’ frustration,”:Santosh Hegde

• "Although a Lokpal Bill was presented in the Rajya Sabha, it was without any teeth. It has now been sent to a select committee, which is only to delay matters further.”:Santosh Hegde

• “This is because 162 sitting MPs have pending criminal cases as per their own affidavits declared with the Election Commission of India and no major political party is willing to pass a strong and effective anti-corruption law because it will destroy them. That apart, 14 Cabinet Ministers in the Central government have cases pending against them.”:Santosh Hegde
