Gandhiji is called the father of Nation. Now Anna Hazare seems to be not far behind to be called so, since he is guiding the country for the people to live with self-respect and truth.
The Jan Lokpal Bill has the following features:-
1. An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state will be set up.
2. Like Supreme Court and Election Commission, they will be completely independent of the governments. No minister or bureaucrat will be able to influence their investigations.
3. Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore: Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.
4. The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction.
5. How will it help a common citizen: If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant.
6. So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have to get it done in a month’s time. You could also report any case of corruption to Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor quality roads been constructed or panchayat funds being siphoned off. Lokpal will have to complete its investigations in a year, trial will be over in next one year and the guilty will go to jail within two years.
7. But won’t the government appoint corrupt and weak people as Lokpal members? That won’t be possible because its members will be selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians, through a completely transparent and participatory process.
8. What if some officer in Lokpal becomes corrupt? The entire functioning of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within two months.
9. What will happen to existing anti-corruption agencies? CVC, departmental vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged into Lokpal. Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to independently investigate and prosecute any officer, judge or politician.
10. It will be the duty of the Lokpal to provide protection to those who are being victimized for raising their voice against corruption.

A family needs elders to provide guidance to the youngsters. In the same way our country needs experienced persons like Anna Hazare to guide our country.
In 1975 he retired from Indian army, he went to his native village Ralegan Siddhi, this village is drought-prone and rain-shadow zone of Parner Tehsil of Ahmadnagar district, in central Maharashtra. It was plagued by acute poverty, and deprivation.
Anna Hazare brought the people together and made remarkable economic and social development in Ralegan Siddhi.
Having such a great background his advices is most wanted for the whole of India. The Government is afraid to implement his Jan Lok Pal bill because the first one to be falling prey to this is none other than the Rajiv Gandhi's family who have huge bribe amount stacked in Swiss Account. These amount were got as commission in Bofors deal during Rajiv Gandhi's regime by Rajiv Gandhi. It is because of this money all congress man are sorrounding and clinging around Sonia and Rahul.
Once this money gets out Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi may get arrested and sent to jail.
