If Anna Hazare movement is to overthrow democracy, but where is democracy
Times of Assam | Pranjit Sarmah | August 27, 2011
The question for us to ask is,- if Jan Lokpal is draconian, if the movement is undemocratic or attempt to overthrow democracy, then why is the Government and our political leaders taking double standards on our country.
Following are few observations about the decade long problem and outcome of government’s non-realistic approaches-
Due to usage of completely wrong policies without democratic ethics and patience, north east is divided in to seven geographical and many more emotional parts. Laws such as the AFSPA, state sponsored secret killings of innocent family members of insurgents, fake encounters and arrests, numerous human rights violations and torture to common innocent men in the name of insurgency control are evidences to this sad fact.
Instead of going into the root cause of formation of different terrorist and armed organizations, the government is found adopting draconian, un-democratic acts like the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act or AFPSA. In fact in Manipur, its looks like the state government wants the draconian act for political gain as the corruption is up to neck of that state government.
Several National media now suddenly trumpeting for Irom Sharmila, AFSPA, Akhil Gogoi, etc; several nationally acclaimed activists voicing their concern in issues of the region such as the Mega Dam issue of Assam, etc are fruits to such realizations.
