A Mahatma announces fast

unto death
Anna Hazare has given an ultimatum to the Prime Minister Dr
Manmohan Singh to enact stringent anti-corruption law – the
peoples “Jan Lokpal Bill”! Jail to the corrupt must happen! We
have been betrayed by those that are leading us!

When & Where? 5th April at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi.

Who is Anna Hazare? A soldier, lone survivor in his unit in
1965 Indo-Pak war, Anna dedicated his life to the well-being of society. A
bachelor, an ascetic, he has no possessions, no bank balance and lives in a
temple. He is a living Mahatma Gandhi!

In Maharashtra, Anna has single handedly transformed barren and dry

This is a defining moment
for India that can give our
children a better future! Let
us unite and stand by him!
Thousands will be there to
support him. Will you be
there?
Come and stay with Anna at
Jantar Mantar for a few days
from 5th April.
regions into green and food surplus areas. He has fasted unto death on
several earlier occasions. He forced the Maharashtra government to dismiss
the corrupt - 6 ministers and 400 officers. Due to his fast, the govt enacted
the Maharashtra RTI Act. In 2006, when government of India tried to amend
the Central RTI Act, he again went on an indefinite fast and forced the
Indian government not to amend RTI Act.
Leaders, organizations and the common man from across India will be with
him. This is a do or die moment – let us make it happen!

Anna’s appeal to the people:

When I sit on fast from 5 April, I urge my fellow countrymen to

• Join me in fasting for one, two, three or whatever number of days you can comfortably fast.
• Along with fast, please pray to God (whoever you believe in) for better and corruption free India.
Collective prayers from all the people of India would definitely have a huge impact.
• Write an impassioned plea to our Prime Minister that we look upon him to pass “Jan Lokpal Bill”,
else we will be compelled not to vote for his party in next elections.
• Remain calm and peaceful and develop the courage to go to jail, if required, in this next freedom
movement.

 gdgSalient features of Jan Lokpal Billgdg

Drafted by Justice Santosh Hegde, Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal, this Bill has
been refined on the basis of feedback received from public on website and after series
of public consultations. It has also been vetted by and is supported by Shanti Bhushan,
J M Lyngdoh, Kiran Bedi, Anna Hazare etc. It was sent to the PM and all CMs on 1st
December. However, there is no response.

1. An institution called LOKPAL at the
centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state will
be set up
2. Like Supreme Court and Election
Commission, they will be completely
independent of the governments. No
minister or bureaucrat will be able to
influence their investigations.
3. Cases against corrupt people will not
linger on for years anymore:
Investigations in any case will have to be
completed in one year. Trial should be
completed in next one year so that the
corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent
to jail within two years.
4. The loss that a corrupt person caused to
the government will be recovered at the
time of conviction.
5. How will it help a common citizen: If any
work of any citizen is not done in
prescribed time in any government office,
Lokpal will impose financial penalty on
guilty officers, which will be given as
compensation to the complainant.
6. So, you could approach Lokpal if your
ration card or passport or voter card is
not being made or if police is not
registering your case or any other work is
not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal
will have to get it done in a month’s time.
You could also report any case of
corruption to Lokpal like ration being
siphoned off, poor quality roads been
constructed or Panchayat funds being
siphoned off. Lokpal will have to complete
its investigations in a year, trial will be
over in next one year and the guilty will
go to jail within two years.
7. But won’t the government appoint
corrupt and weak people as Lokpal
members? That won’t be possible
because its members will be selected by
judges, citizens and constitutional
authorities and not by politicians,
through a completely transparent and
participatory process.
8. What if some officer in Lokpal becomes
corrupt? The entire functioning of
Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely
transparent. Any complaint against any
officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and
the officer dismissed within two months.
9. What will happen to existing anti-
corruption agencies? CVC, departmental
vigilance and anti-corruption branch of
CBI will be merged into Lokpal. Lokpal
will have complete powers and machinery
to independently investigate and
prosecute any officer, judge or politician.

JAN LOKPAL BILL will act as deterrent and instill fear against corruption
(This movement is neither affiliated nor aligned to any political party)

We in CORD are against Corruption.
