Anna Hazare has served the might of Union of India in his youth and now he is crusading against corruption .

Hail victory to Mother India !

Leaderships of all the political parties are corrupt. While the opposition would be quick to capitalize on the situation, they would hinder passing of this bill ( a much tougher ombudsman bill) if it is introduced in the parliament. Anna Hazare and the rest of country has long fight at hand. Youth will have to take this forward.
