What's Next ?

The fever pitch in the country is raising by the minute with Anna Hazare's deteriorating health after fasting continuosuly for the past 8 days. The whole country is united for fighting corruption though lines are divided over the dangers of powers demanded in Jan Lokpal bill.

The government again misjudged the crowds and support that Anna Hazare and his cause has, and decided to blink finally. The meeting that took place today at the parliament between the Government(Pranab Mukherjee, Salman Khurshid) and Team Anna(Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and Santhosh Bhushan) did not seem to go well by reading the grim expressions and body language of Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi though Mr.Bhushan seemed relaxed and non-chalant.

Again the government is trying to buy time and as Anna's health is deteriorating, we can just hope that this movement still continues to be peaceful and no unfortunate event takes place which would take away the focus from fighting corruption and the need for a better Lokpal Bill.

But as we know, a strong Lokpal bill means a deathknell for all the corrupt politicians and government servants of this country. As a cynic, though I support Anna's good cause, can we really expect this government and parliament to actually pass the bill with the required majority ? What if the deadlock continues? What will happen if Anna refuses to take medications or drips ? What if some unruly elements manipulate the emotions that are running high in the country now ?

Inshaallah nothing like that happens....but still, one can't help wondering what's next?
Definitely history is being made now. But have we learnt from it and will we refrain ourselves from committing the same mistakes ?
