    Hazare rejects Pawar's offer to quit from Lokpal Bill GoM

    New Delhi, Apr 6 (ANI): Veteran social activist Anna Hazare, who is continuing with his hunger strike demanding enactment of an anti-corruption bill to give wider powers to the Ombudsman, on Wednesday rejected Union Agriculture and Food Processing Industries Minister Sharad Pawar's offer to quit from the Group of Ministers (GoM) meant to look into the amendments required in the Lokpal Bill.

    72-year-old Hazare criticizing the NCP leader said Pawar should quit his ministry anyway.

    Pawar today said he would be happy if he was relieved from the Group of Ministers (GoM) on Corruption.

    "I will be happy if you relieve me from all GoMs, including that GoM (on corruption)," said Pawar, while responding to Hazare's remarks about him.

    Hazare, who entered the second day of his indefinite fast, had on Monday said: "A minister like Sharad Pawar, who is known for possessing large amounts of land in Maharashtra, is heading a committee that will draft the bill."

    Hazare also slammed former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala when the latter sought to meet him on the dais.

    The ministerial panel is headed by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and comprises Home Minister P Chidambaram, Defence Minister A K Antony, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee, Law Minister Veerappa Moily, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal, Chemicals and Fertiliser Minister M K Alagiri and Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal.

      Sharad Pawar is the biggest CHOR,and the most corrupt politician and nobody can beat him in corruption and it is a joke he asking Hazare to give up his fast,the same with Suresh Kalmadi, Ashok Chavan and Vilasrao Deshmukh all most corrupt from Maharashtra, who have no conscience at all and will even rob kill and do anything to make even one rupee, who are not satisfied with making pots of blood money in Maharashtra now want to make bleed India at the national level at Delhi so SHAMELESS ARE THEY.

      Sharad Power is the biggest mafia of India, Chief patron of Dawood. Even cancer can not kill this capital B. Looted money of poor farmers ( sugar cane producers) , patronized all under world dons, sold the country. India does not have threat from Pakistan or China. Criminals like Sharad Power are the biggest threat. Only way to deal with rascal like Sharad Power, Chagan Bhujbal ( killer of Sonawane), Praful Patel ( cunning biri baron and a polished chor) is by public uprising. Beat them to pulp- seeing their fate no one should follow their path.

        Well said ramu.I do agree with you this is the best solution.As the saying goes.... "A face is the index of the mind ".A crooked face is the index of a crooked mind ( Sharad Pawar's Face ) UPA cannot live without Sharad Pawar because he is their breadwinner ( shares the Loot ).actually speaking,the great soul-Anna Hazarke is ruining his precious life on these corrupted @#$% who have no principals left,scumbags ruling and ruining the nation.Iam sure even Ravana will flee before Manmohan singh and Co.for a total change, India needs an Uprising.

      It is shame that Mr. Hazare has opened his war against corruption. One upon a time a brave officer from Mumbai Municipal Corporation "Khairnar" he was also tried his best to open the corrupt bosses like Mr. Sharad Pawar ani Mandli. It is not a small job. Every Indian has to support this move. Mr. Rajiv Dixit from Azadi Bachao Andolan sacrificed his complete life for the noble cause. These colored foxes politicians should return to the correct path of "Seva" before the real spirit of India i.e Rashtriya Chetana gets awaken and take a path of violence. I have hope that the demon of corruption will vanish one day and only kind and fair people will rule the country not for lust but "Seva". Only you and me all should support the cause the way whatever mean. I solemnly declare my whole hearty support to Shri Hazareji and other warrior who wish to fight against this demon. I warn these corrupts that earth will not give you company. Do some good and die otherwise just die. Look at the pregnant laborer braking stone in hot sun with a hungry child lying side by. She merely gets Rs. 50 a day or so. No at all enough to support her life. After building the ADARSH building by these poor laborers, these corrupt people will come and stay in this building. What a pity of this great country?? Pl awake. It is not late. Otherwise you will not be able to awake. "Jago my Indian brothers Jago"

        Every Indian who demands that CORRUPTION in India should be wiped out and Corrupt should be booked and tried urgently. Due punishment should be metted out to them so as to SAVE INDIA FROM THE HANDS OF CORRUPTION AND THE CORRUPT.
        WILL JUDICIARY STEP IN TO THIS AND DISCHARGE ITS RESPONSIBITY TOWARDS CIVIL SOCIETY AND DEAL WITH THE CANCER OF CORRUPTION ? JUDICIARY IS A WING OF THE GOVERNMENT . GOVT. CONSISTS OF LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIARY.
        OTHERWISE INDIA IS HEADING TOWARDS BECOMING AN ANARCHY SOON. TIME IS TOO SHORT.

      I think we should do something... each and every citizen of this country should come on streets and show their anger against this corrupt government and politicians... People like Suresh Kalmadi, A Raja, Hasan Ali, and whoever is having so many cases pending in the court should be punished very very harshly in open public, this country needs a revolution and we the youth shall give it... i urge all of us to come out on streets and support the 72 year old veteran who is on fast without caring about his old age and health.... we should feel ashamed of ourselves to have voted for such leeches who are sucking the whole country... who are so greedy and can't see any thing more than their personal ambitions and gains..... i will join any such march and agitation campaign with all my strength..... Jai Hind...

        ofcourse we are all with ANNA JI HAZARE, its the total youth of INDIA for the first time together, only the so called youth brigade of congress under rahul gandhi (read sachin pilot, prasad kid, schindia kid etc.) are against the movement. INDIA would have been happy if rahul with its 40 chor comes with ANNA HAZARE and sits on bhookh hartal against his own mother and PM (MMS) till they dont bring the jan lokpal as desired by people of INDIA under the guidence of Sri ANNA JI. The time has come for the 2nd INDEPENDECE DAY to celebrate. Last time it was against British, who were allowed to quit INDIA, now where these rascals will go, no self esteemed country will allow them to enter thier country and spoil there people too.

        THERE ARE CRORES LIKE SHARAD PAWAR IN INDIA. WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO ACTION FROM ANYONE AGAINST THEM?
        CIVIL SOCIETY SHOULD RECOGNISE THAT THEY HAVE A MORAL DUTY TOWARDS THE FUTURE GENERATIONS. WE SHOULD ACT NOW AND ENSURE TO REGAIN AND GIVE THEM BACK A CLEAN SONE KI CHIDIYA INDIA .
        "Parliamentay sovereignty" will be abrogated if civil society is made part of joint committee. This is newest argument advanced by the people in power. That does not mean that you encourage corruption , mint crores of money , cheat the common people, cheat the country, put India's security into danger , make your relatives and friends millionaires and NOW SEEK COVER OF PARLIAMENTARY SOVEREIGNTY. HOW SHAMELESS CREATURES ALL OF YOU HAVE BECOME. Parliament has not performed its duty for the last 42 years so far as LOPAL BILL is concerned. IS PARLIAMENT NOT LIABLE FOR 'NEGLECT OF DUTY' ? Who will bell the cat ? The common people.
        I earnestly request the PRESIDENT AND PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA TO RISE TO THE OCCASION AND ACT IN AN HONEST MANNER TO REDFART THE LOKPAL BILL AND MAKE IT FOOLPROOF AGAINST THE CORRUPT. IF YOU DO NOT DO IT THEN YOU ARE DEEPLY INTERESTED IN NOT DOING SO.
        PLEASE DO NOT THRUST THIS COUNTRY INTO ANOTHER LIBYA, EGYPT LIKE SITUATION.
        MAKE CBI AND INDEPENDENT AGENCY. AND ALLOW THEM TO FUNCTION AS SUCH. POST OFFCERS OF HIGH INTEGRITY AND HONEST THERE. JUDICIARY SHOULD MONITOR THAT. THEN CORRUPTION CAN BE DEALT WITH STRONGLY.

      Dear Countrymen,

      Corruption is the severe disease for any civil society. Many countries like Iraq, Afghanistan etc across the globe have collapsed due to corruption and many others may become the culprit of this disease in the time to come. I believe corruption is the main hurdle for the development of the country like India. Most of the developed countries have also gone through the phase of corruption what we have been under going; however, top-down approach to remove corruption has proved to make these countries developed. Unlike these developed countries, we people are trying to remove corruption by using bottom-up approach because all of our leaders are either corrupt or morally corrupt. Even many present respectable leaders���.. I don���t want to quote names; but they are considered very ethical, however, corruption is being taken place under the shadow of these big leaders who are considered honest. Therefore, I feel they are also morally corrupt as the corruption is being taken place under their shadow. Now, we should be thankful to veteran social worker Mr Hazare, 78, who is on the fast till death. Mr. Hazare is trying to apply bottom-up approach which is difficult to deliver success until we all Indians come out and support whole heartedly. Therefore, I appeal all the Indians to come out and show their support in any form to the civil movement which is started by Mr. Hazare and I am sure government and big leaders will be bound to follow the common man and eventually they have to pass anti-corruption bill e.g. LOKPAL BILL.

    • A Yahoo! User  •  1 year 1 month ago
      Pick any officer, any Policeman. any MLA, any MP who is not corrupted as per his power. You can save from any chaallan against Rs. 50-200, can pass any illegal papers from any officer, a MLA purchase 3 new red light car when he comes in power, you can't imagine the property of a MP of our all constitutes. THEY TAKE BECAUSE WE PAY. We help to make Pawars, Kalmadis,Rajas and all others and they take the benefits of our loose laws. Election se pehle nange aate hai aur phir hamari mehnat ki kamayi se bhare taxes ko loot kar raaja ban jaate hai.Jaane kitne garib logon ka khoon choos-2 kar audi me ghumte hain. Laws should be strong like cut their body parts in open and sealing of all their properties.Saalon ko airoplane me laad laad kar mount everest pe phaink dena chaiye.
      Pawar aaj kitni ainth me keh raha tha i leave GOM. Bimaariyon se sada pada hai shakal dekh ke ulti aa jaaye aaina dekh kar dar jaata hoga aur banta hai Devanand.

      it is shame to have ministers like sharad pawar, mamta banerjee, UP chief minister, chidambaram and many many more corrupt creatures. All their assets should be freezed and such amount be utilized for infrastructure, and developments.
      Immediately swiss account holders should be checked, and money should be brought back to Indian coffers. All these shady ministers whether in central cabinet or in states be arrested, humiliated in publish, splashed/ stripped so that no minister in future should ever dare to become corrupt.
      On the same strength, police officers, magistrates, judicial team, bureacrats should be exposed on corruption. If they were to be true humanbeings, these ministers would not have amassed money.
      Now, on priority, present govt, PM, President, and bunch of ministers should be quit and they should declare amount that they have amassed of public, and should honourably make a common coffer in which these amounts be collected. One who declares honestly this dishonest money, be spared from punishment, or else, they should be forcefully exposed.
      We are such an excellent country with rich values, there should be no place for any more pawars or chidambarams or list of shaddy hopeless, disgusting corrupt ministers.

      Shri Anna Hazareji, You are doing a great job for all of us who strongly feel disgusted to see all corrupt people are shamelessly progressing in India ""Gandhiji's country"".We are all with you .
      Corruption from so called noble profession of doctors along with Medical Council of India- Dr. Ketan Desai & company along with n no. of people around daily getting scot-free from Antuley, Harshad Mehta, & so many bringing the common man to frustration ,& thinking that corruption is the law of today's society--- you could motivate the youth---which is great.
      I was wanting a Chanakya to be born again to do what you are doing. But Please remember , these people are so shameless that they will not bother for your life. Please keep your health well, tackling these shameless politicians & corrupt bureaucrats need some better tactics and Mass Power will help you I wish you long life,please keep healthy.

      I am 46 Yrs. old and from the age 16 I am working hard to change my future. I am technical person and at the same time doing so many activities to to earn better money to stabilize the life.As of now I am partly able meet my needs.
      The point is that all these politicians and influential peoples does not posses any qualification and special skill, still they possess uncountable wealth.
      Computer and technology is is the order of the day and by which one can make money.
      I am sure that these corrupt peoples have neither of these skills.
      It is unable to digest that these peoples have wealth 100 crores or more within very few years.
      To my understanding politicians of maharashtra are scattered in various parties are for their adjustment and we can not differentiate them on the basis of Idea logy.
      Dust bin is the right place for these species and we should make them isolated by boycotting.
      Press and media ,must stop covering them. Common peoples must stop attending their marriages and other functions and. tell them the reason.

      It is a tragedy that a 72 year old man is fighting against corruption while all the youth just keeping quite. Please all of you join hands with Anna Hazare if you want a corruption free state / country. Do it in any type, no matter how but with peace. Ann Hazare sir I don't know whether you read our comments but we support you wholeheartedly.
    • sasmita  •  1 year 1 month ago
      Dear friends time to fight against corruption otherwise it will be too late.
      Though from outside it looks like India is booming in reality the country is at its blink. Only few has everything and most of the money meant for poor goes to corruption. Think about respected Hazare he is at the 4th stage of his life and fighting for the young generation. We should support him in whatever possible mean we can. Look at the Indian potician they are mean, corrupt, old, self-oriented with back ground. Why PMO office request respected Hazare to end his strike without doing any thing about the issue he is fighting for.
