Questions and Answers

Anna Hazare's Fast

1. Does Anna's fast amount to blackmail?
2. Was the government's bowing to Anna's demands coerced?
3. Ambedkar had said civil disobedience must stop after independence, so why is this allowed now?
4. It weakens democracy when an activist group forces the government and elected representatives to do what they want. Why shouldn't they contest elections and win to get their voice heard?
5. Isn't there is a danger that others will copy the same methods?

Jan Lokpal Bill Public Discourse & Drafting Commitee

6. Why shouldn't the Jan Lokpal Bill be subject to broad public participation and discourse?
7. The bill drafting committee should not include members from the civil society. Bypassing democratic processes for political expediency however desirable the outcome, may be detrimental to democracy itself.
8. The drafting panel doesn't have a broad representation and doesn't include other eminent people or activists.
9. Why not include other parties in the drafting panel instead of the Bhushans father-son duo?
10. Government's representatives in the committee are the true representatives of the people of India.

IAC's Support And Timing

11. IAC is a small group and is supported only by thousands of people.
12. IAC should have waited. The government has a bill and is being rewritten by the NAC.
