After being stung by the exposure of its massive corruption, people's support for Anna Hazare and trouncing in the recent bye elections the Congress is attacking back on many fronts. Its vicious attack on sleeping supporters of Baba Ramdev at the Ram Lila grounds led to the death of one innocent woman. No Congress fellow has been charged with murder so far. Using same tactics on Hazare backfired because Hazare has no wealth to protect. He was content to be imprisoned and refused to leave jail until his demands were met causing a most humiliating climb down. He was taunted as a rabble rouser and asked to stand for elections which he has refused to do. Firstly he does not have the black money and goons to fight an election and secondly, who would want to associate with a bunch of criminal beggars anyway? Hazare was accused of being in the pay of the BJP. The freeloading press went hysterical when the RSS, a Hindu organisation admitted helping Hazare, as though it was a crime to be supported by Hindus. A Pakistani has confessed to being an admirer of Hazare and has vowed to fast against corruption in Pakistan. Dies this make Hazare an ISI agent? Now Hazare's team members Kiran Bedi and Kejriwal are under attack. Meanwhile our most revered Prime Minster says that a new law will seek to punish corruption in the private sector. Does this mean that anyone seeking to bribe public officials will be punished? This is a variation of the government's version of the Lok Pal Bill which contained more severe punishment for whistle blowers than for thieving civil servants. No wonder the Congress is the most successful syndicate in the world.
