Anna Hazare blogging against corruption –welcome to cyberworld

ANNA-HAZAAREAnna Hazare Anti-corruption Reformer seems set to take the fundamental world by aggress.On Thursday he became a blogger and even joined social networking sites Facebook and Twitter. 

In his inaugural post, Hazare wrote: "It is after a long time that I am directly communicating with you. Henceforth, it is from this blog 
that I will be constantly in touch with you." 

"We started a movement demanding that Jan Lokpal Bill be passed in India and slowly the crusade spearheaded into a full-fledged non-violent revolution spilling on to the Ramlila Maidan," he added. 

"It was only when my inner voice permitted me I broke my fast after getting assurance from the government. The reason I am clearing the misconceptions here is I came to understand some government agents tried to propagate and create an image that it was the handiwork of their favourite ministers that I gave up my fast. 

"I came across articles of self-praise, interviews published by them. This is a false propaganda," Hazare said in his blog. Giving some insight into what transpired before he called off his 12-day-old fast for a strong Lokpal, Hazare wrote that till the last moment, the government tried to break the movement. 

As talks progressed regarding calling off his fast, he said the people, who came to meet his team members, the middle-man, the minister all of them had "different versions, different assurances. 

"It was the responsibility of the government that they scrutinies the people they had sent for negotiations whether they were corrupt or had clean image. That was for the government to think. I held talks with them considering they were Government representatives! The answers lay with the government," he said. 

After Harare called off the fast, questions have been raised, particularly in media interviews, over the participation of Union minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, who is facing allegations in Adarsh scam, and Bhayyuji Maharaj in mediation. 

The activist said he found the support of the people and his young friends as overwhelming as they came forward from every corner of the country and their cries awakened India from its deep slumber. 

"Their cries not only shook the very roots of our country but people from world over who had fallen prey to injustice, corruption took active part in the movement. 

"The entire movement was infectious. This was the beginning of a revolution. It was the beginning of India's second struggle for independence," Hazare said. 

The 74-year old leader pointed out that Parliament gave an assurance that it would put forward some of the demands from the Jan Lokpal Bill and get them approved. 

The activist warned that the movement still "has a long way to go and very soon it will acquire a non-violent, but intense flavour of a nation-wide revolution".
