Dear Sir,
Over the last few days | have been following through media coverage, news about Mr. Anna
Hazare's fast unto death, which started yesterday - on the Sth of April 2011.
have spent the last couple of days trying to understand the issues that he is fighting for.
1 have been through the draft provided by the media of the Government proposed Lokpal bill
which is under consideration of the Government
‘Through the intemet | have also been through a copy of the Jan Lokpal Bill as drafted by some
members of Civil Society.
| would like to humbly submit to you that, based on all the material that | have read, what Mr
Hazare is saying makes a lot of sense to me.
am one of over a billion citizens of this country who is affected by, and most concemed about,
corruption in our country. The last few months have witnessed some shocking exposés. In fact
our society has been plagued by this sickness over the last many decades. | am one of the many
who feel that strong steps need to be taken as corrective measures,
| have no doubt that a man of your experience and knowledge knows more about this issue than
someone like me. | have absolutely no doubt that a man of your level of integrity will take all the
strongest corrective measures that are needed at this juncture to cleanse our society of this
sickness.
Itis therefore with great hope and all humility that | request you to pay heed to the voice of Mr.
‘Anna Hazare. | would like to submit to you that the nation is slowiy but surely collecting behind
‘Mir. Hazare in appreciation for what he is fighting for. | am merely one of many who fully support
Mr Hazare, and have come to appreciate that this upright 72 year old man is willing to sacrifice
his life in the fight against corruption.
We look to you, sir, wth great hope
Yours sincerely,
UMM
