Anna Hazare and his team are planning to hold a peaceful fast on 16th of August in New Delhi. They have sought permission from the Delhi Police to organize the fast and have asked for a place. Permission has been given to carry on fast at JP Park in New Delhi for not more than 3 days under the surveillance of Delhi Police. Do you think Anna will succeed in bringing the stronger Jan Lok Pal by conducting a peaceful fast?
I have discussed this a lot of time here. Lokpal Bill - The current version and proposed version - India Forum Central government pass Anna's Jan lokpal bill - India Forum Chidambaram on Anna Hazare's fast - India Forum Anna Hazare 's Fast and comments of politicians - India Forum even more
I actually do not know where this fight for freedom struggle will end up? but I am sure of one thing that we can see the unity in diversity and that is why they say india is one! independence day fasting has not proved out to be a success but i am sure whatever anna is doing will bring some fruitful results for the nation as a whole. hoping for the best!
