Anna hunger strike

Hazare on Saturday said that the Congress-led government at the Centre was 'drunk' with power before he left for brand spanking new Delhi on Saturday.

He criticised the govt. over its efforts to enact the anti-corruption law, that has been delayed for four decades, and proposes to line up an freelance ombudsman (Lokpal) with police-like powers to prosecute civic establishments and figures.

"This government is intoxicated by power and cash. It cannot see the rest. they need forgotten the sacrifices by the likes of Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru. sort of a drunk man becomes unconscious, equally the govt. is unconscious,” he said on Saturday.

"It is our job to urge them into their senses. this is often solely a day-long agitation, when December twenty seven, it'll be an extended agitation. these days that you just all are here, i'm energised," he said, reiterating his warning of launching another protest movement of the Lokpal law wasn't passed this month.

Backed by the India Against Corruption (IAC) cluster, the 74-year-old activist led 2 hunger strike protests earlier this year to push for the anti-graft law, tapping into a groundswell of public anger against administrative inefficiency and corruption.

The self-styled Gandhian activist, who slammed the most recent draft of the law ready by a Parliamentary Panel for leaving out the Prime Minister and also the lower paperwork out of the ambit of the anti-corruption agency, has threatened to begin a 3rd hunger strike from Dec twenty seven if a troublesome law isn't enacted.

"So several martyrs lost their lives for our independence however even these days we have a tendency to cannot expertise independence. Who got independent? What independence? Corruption, loot continues to be here. solely 'goras' left and 'kalas' came in, that's the sole distinction," he said.

"So the second fight for independence has started, it's an extended fight, until corruption gets eradicated, it'll persist. many of us can got to visit jail once more, be lathicharged, some can got to sacrifice, that point is here currently. until we have a tendency to sacrifice, we cannot get the proper independence,"

Meanwhile, the govt., that on had to backtrack on its move to throw open India’s $450 billion retail market to foreign firms when a large political backlash, appeared cautious of yet one more showdown over the Lokpal issue and said the activists’ demands can be met.
