I have been watching and reading every news about Anna Hazare with lots of interest and concern. I am really concerned about the way the Government is trying to throw a Nelson's eye on the whole effort, on one side, and on the other side I am angry at the way the TV channels are exploiting the situation. I was watching a debate on the 16th June in which Rahul of Headlines Today had four persons seated on each of his sides and had invited a good number of the public (not a bad idea anyway).
The two lady invitees on the dias seemed to have the least respect for the invitees in the forum and were critical about their behaviour. One of the ladies even went to the extent of calling the invitees of the channel " a lynch mob" and Rahul remained a silent spectator to this 'elite' comment. Its sad that the elite in India will NEVER understand the fact that corruption affects the poor the most and not them.

We should not get unnerved by such statements and should expect our politicians-young or old- to come forward to protest as because they r themselves part of these groups and only show lip sympathy to get votes and power.
