| http://www.allvoices.com/ Acting fast on the email sent on Saturday by Urvashi SharmaUrvashi Sharma , Secretary of Lucknow based NGO Yaishwaryaj Seva Sansthan , Anna Hazare, on Sunday widened the agitation, directly confronting Members of Parliament and Union Ministers . Acting on Anna's appeal, people in various parts of Uttar Pradesh on Sunday evening held demonstrations in front of their respective MPs' houses in favour of a strong anti-corruption Lokpal Bill. People from various walks of life staged sit-ins in front of MPs' houses in Lucknow, Unnao, Kanpur, Faizabad and Allahabad. On Saturday , Urvashi had sent an email to Anna Hazare , IAC , Aruna Roy , Medha patekar and Prime minister Manmohan Singh.The mail emphasized the need to shift focus of agitation on MPs/Ministers in their respective constituencies . The Mail read "Its not that only MPs/Ministers at Centre are Pro-Corruption . M.L.A.s / Ministers of State governments are even more corrupt . More or less , all politicians are corrupt irrespective of the party , they are with right now . With so many defections and changeovers like monkey-jumps no one is able to identify as to who started from where and passed through which passage. We are seeing the present only . As such there is no ideology of today's politicians. So, The need is to direct a movement against all M.P.s and M.L.A.s of all constituencies . As citizen of India it is our dharma to first question ourselves and then to all our leaders and hold them to high ethical standards. We cannot have high benchmarks of accountability for politicians, and no benchmarks for ourselves. So instead of sitting on dharnas against the central government , we should mobilize the people first to practice high ethical standards for themselves from the day and then shift their focus against the M.P. of their constituency not only to mount pressure on him to support the required Jan Lokpal Bill in Parliament but also to practice high ethical standards in all his future ventures. There should be an open demand that the fast shall not be broken until n unless there is a written commitment from the respective M.P. that he shall not only support the required Jan Lokpal Bill in Parliament but also practice high ethical standards in all his future ventures. Yes , anti defection law,party whip etc. etc. are there . We know many a cases where M.P.s have gone against party whip , have defected their parties for their own selfish motive so this time why can't they do this for the people of their own constituency. After all they are in Parliament because of them ( The people ) . If they do it once this time , maybe they shall be in parliament forever. " I am happy that this will surely create tremendous amount of pressure on the MPs/Ministers and would allow Anna to end his fast earlier if the Govt heeds to the pressure on the MPs, said Urvashi. -- - Urvashi Sharma yaishwaryah.seva.sansthan@ http://yaishwaryaj-seva- http://yaishwaryaj-seva- - Urvashi Sharma yaishwaryah.seva.sansthan@gmail.com http://yaishwaryaj-seva-sansthan.hpage.co.in/ http://yaishwaryaj-seva-sansthan.blogspot.com/ |
