Dear Anna Hazareji, Your intentions are good and removal of corruption is an
urgent need of the nation. However, your present methods are not workable.
Moreover, the type of Jan Lokpal set as being proposed by you is of autocratic 
nature concentrating power to a parallel system of governance that is quite  
impractical and unworkable. I am yet to see any faithful, transparent and non 
partisan analysis on the practicality and workability and use fulness to the  
intended purpose from any intellectual from your side or from the visual or  
print media about your Jan Lokpal bill or the government's skewed version of it.  
     
To continue the democratic process unhindered what we need is a change 
of face   of the Political management of governance and the Bureaucracy the 
executive wing   of the government. Further, corruption do not only contained 
just within the   governments,but also in the private enterprises, judiciary, 
defense and all other   institutions and organizations.   

As you and your team  rightly propagate, this can achieved only if the right 
persons are elected in various political office positions beginning with the   
Panchayats, Municipalities, State Legislature assemblies and Lok Sabha.   
As mentioned in the introductory note in this community ICACO. This could be done
by diversifying the activity of Anna groups and the NGOs instead of sitting on   
Anshan at Jantar Mantar.     

What need to be done is to set up a committee at every district and Tahsil level   
to find out, enroll and train persons of integrity and caliber and make them   
contest in the elections to various bodies under a common banner. Utmost 
transparency  to be ensured every level of selection and of such candidates 
who will be under   oath to the people to work without and against 
corruption and agree to be called   back from position if found corrupt in any way. 
This shall become a political   movement of apolitical nature.     

There will be great obstruction from various existing political organizations and   
therefore. will take time to overcome, may be a few cycles of elections in the  
coming years but is sure to meet success.  I am sure this will grow into a great  
movement and change the face of political scenario and governance of the country.   Leave the current path of Anshans and Jail Bharao etc. and picking upon the only   political party that has shown some willingness under compulsion or as a face saver,   foolishly or otherwise, to get a Lokpalpal bill passed however skewed and useless   it may be, in the end of the day.   
Please try to discern the fact that what your and your team is doing now is to 
remove   that political party from governance and the net effect will the Lokpal 
though its   effectiveness and workability is questionable, will never again see the 
light of the day.       
Best regards to Annaji and best wishes to his team. by
