Send us your feedback to audioarticles@vaarta.com
India is currently abuzz about Anna Hazare going on an indefinite hunger strike. The eminent social activist has resorted to such a step as an appeal for a stronger Lokpal Bill that provides for stringent punishment for corruption.
For the uninitiated, the Lokpal Bill, 2010 provides for filing complaints of corruption against the prime minister, ministers and MPs with the ombudsman. However, Hazare said that the Lokpal Bill in its present form is toothless and his supporters have drafted a separate Jan Lokpal bill taking into account the views and suggestions from civil society and common people and want its enactment.
As a mark of their support to Hazare, several of our Bollywood personalities have come forward and are being vocal about it on the micro-blogging site. Here are few quotes by some of the celebrities
