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.
