74 years Gandhian & an Honest fighter against Corruption Shri Anna's fast ended after 12 days in a happy note. Our hon'ble PM on August 15 remarked that parliamentry supremacy is imortant & Anna should not go for Fast as it is not good for Indian democracy. Same PM on August 27 told that People's will passed through/as Parliament will.
Though the "sense" of House passed in Parliament for forwarding to Standing Parliamentary Committee,but as we watched debate in Loksabha, we could not get feeling that its a true "sense" of Parliament.
It looked as if Members of Parliament are under pressure to end Anna's fast 'temporarily' at that moment. I still doubt whether the 3 sticking points will really be deliberated by heart ( dil se) by our Parliamentary representatives. Maybe it will further prolong through series of consultations,meetings, points vs Counterpoints & we may not see the Lokpal Bill through atleast in year 2011. India celeberated "victory" for hearing "in principle" approval of points by Politicians raised by Annaji but question is even Corrupt politicians too would not vouch for "corruption" in their statements irrespective of their acts in reality,hence merely Parliament desk thumping by members would not ensure an effective or strong Lokpal Bill. I am sure the next time Govt will play around with the slogans like "national consensus" or broad agreement amongst all parties are essential etc.etc. It happened for Women reservation bill too.
Now we have to wait & watch how Lawyer turned Politician & Chairman of Standing Committee Mr Abhishek Manu Singhvi will "technically" examine the 'sense"of Parliament resolution once it reached under his ambit. Looking to the past records, I have my own doubt ( one may call it a cynical view) that the Govt will be able to enact strong Lokpal incorporating essential points raised by Anna team. And we may have to prepare for Annaji's fast in future as well till the TRUE SENSE BY HEART prevails among Parliamentarians.
