Join
Peoples March Against Corruption
In Silchar, Assam
At 4pm , on 1 May 2011
Barak Human Rights Protection Committee (BHRPC) and other 20 odd
grassroots
organizations working in Barak valley in Assam invite the
citizens of India residing
in Barak valley to join a Peoples March Against Corruption to be
started
approximately at 4 pm on 1 May 2011 from below the statue of
Shaheed Khudiram
at Dakbangla, Silchar, Assam. The march will end at below the
statue of NetajiSubhas Chandra Bose at Rangirkhari, Silchar
covering about 4 km.
The march is organized to show support and solidarity with the
movement launched
and led by India Against Corruption for an effective legislation
to constitute a Lokpal
(Ombudsman) at the centre to fight against corruption. It is
also to express peoples
denunciation to the smear campaign launched by corrupt forces
against the senior
advocate Mr. Prashant Bhushan and his father former law minister
Mr. Shanti
Bhushan, who are the members of the joint committee to draft a
Lokpal Bill
constituted by the government, and other members of the
committee.
The recent outpouring of public outrage at corruption and
support to the campaign
for a strong Lokpal Bill appears to have made some sections of
politicians, the media
and the business interests that control both, afraid and
desperate. They are trying to
weaken the movement, and particularly, to discredit the joint
committee by indulging
in personal attacks on the civil society members. Instead of
debating the details of the
proposed Lokpal Bill, and deliberating ways of making it more
effective and people
friendly and invention of other measures of curbing corruption,
they are focused oncharacter assassination of members of the
Committee.
