All for an effective Lokpal Bill?

1. Wonder what's happening?

2. Just stating the way things have proceeded thus far!
(a) A draft bill on the subject has been tabled by the government in the parliament for discussions. Its version is not acceptable to the civil society, headed by Anna Hazare, as they feel that corruption cannot be curbed with such a 'toothless' version.
(b) The government feels that team Hazare is unnecessarily raking up issues, which are uncalled for, as the matter is in parliament and in a democracy the parliament is paramount!
(c) Anna Hazare had declared earlier that he'd begin a hunger strike from 16 Aug if the bill is not tabled in parliament, encompassing the salient features that he'd suggested.
(d) Both sides dig into their stated positions.
(e) Meanwhile, the Delhi police issues prohibitory orders and introduces preconditions on the conduct of the fast which is turned down by Anna Hazare.
(f) Anna Hazare is arrested and put into Tihar jail PM 16 Aug.

2. Why're the political parties playing games now? They must get onto the negotiating table, call Anna Hazare and discuss to bring about a Lokpal bill that will act as a check, effectively, against corruption.

3. That's the only way to get out of an ugly situation created by narrowminded thinking. No one is a loser, if any of the concerned parties is to take a step backward, for the good of the country!
