We will be sending this along with our previously drafted letters of appeal / support to the Hon'ble Prime Minister and Anna Hazare. If you would like to sign the letters, please sign up HERE BEFORE ***noon Wednesday*** You are also welcome to raise any disagreements / concerns you may have with regard to the letter. With the bill set to be tabled in the monsoon session of Parliament, it is an important time to be informed and responsive, and make your opinions on this crucial bill known.
09/04/11 India Against Corruption UpdatedAs many of you will know, the India Against Corruption campaign has met with a very positive outcome as the government has consented to set up a joint committee of civil society representatives and ministers, co-chaired by one member from each of the two factions. The Prime Minister has issued a statement expressing his happiness over the agreement reached by civil society and the Government in a mutual resolve to combat corruption. He has also indicated that the bill should be tabled by the monsoon session of Parliament. In the light of these positive recent developments, we are calling off the FAST that was proposed for Sunday. But we must not forget that the complete success of this campaign will be on the day when the Lokpal Bill finalised by this joint committee will be tabled and and passed in parliament. As Anna Hazare himself has said, the real fight begins now. We will still be holding a meeting on Sunday 10th April at 2pm at Queen's College as a show of solidarity to the India Against Corruption campaign, and to make a committment to see this process through to the end. The success of the first step of the campaign only increases the responsibility on civil society, and as young citizens the onus lies on us to be informed, aware and responsive to the content of this important bill. The collective view of the gathering will then be summarised and incorporated in the letters addressed to the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India and Anna Hazare. If you are unable to attend but would like to raise any points or express any views, write to Apoorva before Sunday 11:00 hrs. At the meeting, we will debate:
