Would Lokpal bill be a sovereign remedy?

Amma Hazare’s fast as an ultimate weapon against corruption that goes left, right and centre of the country reflects great credit to his noble cause. No doubt corruption is rampant and it stinks of shame to a nation that claims to be the descendants of the Father of our independence. Empty rhetoric of politicians who often betray their principles to any length, be it fair or foul, to achieve their aim. The DMK Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and former Chief Minister Jayalalitha are no exceptions given the freebies and other inducements they have offered to the voters. In my considered opinion it’s little short of naked corruption. I am glad the editorial has rightly exposed it unequivocally.
Corruption is a force of habit and to get rid of it from one’s blood is a question of mind over matter. It takes character for one to be honest. However, I am optimistic of Anna Hazare’s bold move to have given a kick-off in this direction for the first time. Should he succeed it’s a victory for common sense.
