IAC & Arvind Kejriwal

Anna Hazare. Who is this guy ? ? ? Isn't it silly asking who is Anna? You all know him. Nearly every indian knows him. A social worker, a silent fighter, a young old man fighting for welfare of Indian people. He raised a revolution, a war against goverment, just to clean the corrupt system and bring an end to the miseries of the common man. This is what you will say (almost everyone).

But do you know the mastermind behind him? The man who actually planned all this? Who used Anna as a weapon against government? You know him, not all of you, but you still know him . . . Arvind Kejriwal. Heard of this name before? Why not, he comes on our television box. On August 16, 2011, Key members of the India Against Corruption including Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, and Manish Sisodia were arrested four hours before the planned indefinite hunger strike by Hazare.

India Against Corruption (IAC) is a citizen's movement to demand strong anti-corruption laws. After a fast by veteran social activist Anna Hazare and widespread protests by citizens across India the Government of India constituted a 10-member Joint Committee of ministers and civil society activists to draft an effective Jan Lokpal Bill. The primary focus of IAC movement is to ensure a strong Lokpal bill. The IAC is a strictly voluntary organization and its participants are bound by the IAC code of conduct.


The mastermind behind all this (IAC, hunger strike, lokpal bill and all) was actually Arvind Kejriwal. He planned these all for getting a more transparent government.  Arvind Kejriwal, sought Telugu Desam Party chief N Chandrababu Naidu's support to the demand for bringing the Prime Minister under the ambit of theproposed anti-corruption ombudsman.
