Tired of corruption Letter Published in Gulf News,UAE On August 27,011
Arundhati Roy has every right to express her views on the Anna Hazare scenario. However, criticising the rights of the common people is unacceptable. My point is that the United Progressive Alliance government has failed to fulfil the promises made to the people during the elections. After seeing the entire country protesting against corruption I believe that the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should step down. People are tired of seeing corruption everywhere. It seems that none of the political parties are interested in helping the people in India — they are only interested in wealth. There is no consciousness and will to serve the people of the nation. It has been more than four decades and this bill is still not taken by the Parliament. I am confident that the government will only do something if the entire nation’s voice is heard. As a common man of this country I expect a peaceful day-to-day life without any humiliation from the administration.

I was discussing with a group of friends about Gandhian follower 74-year-old Anna Hazare’s fast. A friend informed how his grandson, aged 11, went to Freedom Park, Bangalore, along with his classmates to express support.

I wondered how even such young minds are affected by this important issue – corruption.

A CHOICE CRITIQUE? Letter Published in Khaleej Times,UAE
25 August 2011

This is with reference to the news story, ‘Bill will open for another corruption’ (KT/ Aug 23) which was interesting to read.

Arundati Roy has got every right to express her views on the present Anna Hazare’s scenario but criticising the rights of the common man was unacceptable.
My point is leave Anna’s fasting; the UPA Government has failed to fulfill the promises made to the common man during elections.

On moral grounds Singh should step down after seeing the entire country voicing their feelings against corruption.

People are tired of seeing a rise in corruption. None of the political parties are interested in the common man but are only interested in amassing personal wealth.
There is no consciousness and will to serve the people of the nation.

Since more then four decades this bill was not taken by the Parliament. I am confident the government was not bothered till the entire nation’s voices came to gather under Anna’s lead.

As a common man of this country what I expect from the administration is a peaceful day-to-day life without any hazards and humiliation. I feel Arundathi’s comments were unwarranted.

At this Juncture Govt , should go for a Dialogue with Anna's team ,should come to a Compromised formula which is Good to the people of India.Setting up the deadline on 30August ,is a tough task.Govt should Give assurance ,by way of a letter may satisfy Anna and his team.Singh should reply for the anger ,and humiliation of the People of India.

This with reference to the online story, ‘Twin explosions rock British Compound in Kabul’ (KT/ Aug 19). Bomb explosions staged by terrorists are very common for the innocent civilians as well foreign embassies.

In spite of tight security these incidents continue to happen. Even after the invasion from the US-led coalition, the people of Afghanistan have not been able to live peacefully in a stable and secure environment. The question is when will Afghanistan return to normalcy after years of fighting?

• Hazare's arrest With reference to the article, ‘Indian anti -graft activist refuses to leave jail’ (KT/Aug 17) I must say that the large scale protests following the arrest of the social activist Anna Hazare yesterday was never expected by the Singh administration. It was seen that school children, students, I.T professionals, women and even retired people were shouting slogans against the government for not tackling corruption and inflation.

The miscalculation by the UPA government has ruined their image for the common man. This is the second revolution in Indian history after the freedom fight by the Late Mahatma Gandhi. You can fool people once or twice but not permanently.

The main attributing reasons for the support from the people is the lack of electricity, inflation, poor infrastructure and above all corruption. The 72 year old Anna’s statement that unless and until his protest is not recognised by the government he will continue his agitation is to be applauded.

Human greed Article Published in The Gulf Today Uae,on 13,August11.(212th article).

I was watching on television the violence and looting of public property by rioters in London. A friend was to go there on an official trip, but decided to cancel the trip. The prime reason for such violence seems to be the growing gap between rich and poor. “Nature has provided us with abundance of fruits and vegetables. Why are people left to die hungry in Somalia and other such countries?” asked the friend. “Plain human greed,” was all that I could reply.

Your news story, titled ‘Air India snubbed by Star alliance’ (KT/ Aug 3) was a good read but it was sad to learn that the Indian National carrier’s membership was rejected by the Star alliance.

Apparently, the basic requirements to get the eligibility were not met by Air India. Punctuality, commitment and above all cordial relationship with passengers were the main attributing factors for this. For the past few years I have been seeing this carrier’s negative growth only.
