NEW DELHI: Describing his detention by police as the beginning of the "second freedom struggle", Anna Hazare on Tuesday asked people to participate in a "jail bharo" agitation.

"My dear countrymen, second freedom struggle has begun and now I have also been arrested. But will this movement be stopped by my arrest. No not at all. Don't let it happen," Hazare said soon after being detained by police.

The 73-year-old Gandhian, who was scheduled to hold a fast against corruption in J P Park in Delhi on Tuesday, asked people to court arrest and go to jails as part of the countrywide agitation against corruption and to demand a strong Lokpal.

"Time has come my countrymen when there should be no place left in jails in India to accommodate any more persons," he said while asking people to maintain peace.

"I once again request my fellow countrymen that peace should be maintained and there must be no violence...Crores of people have joined this movement and second line of leaders are standing to lead this movement," he said.

The whole world is starting to unravel, we are fraying at the edges and anyone who is in a position of responsibility for our countries are in grave danger.
Glad I live in the middle of nowhere

Wouldn't it be WONDERFUL if India went up in flames and all the damn greedy Corporate Princes that outsourced - and are in the PROCESS of outsourcing - OUR JOBS to that vile hellhole of a country got it shoved DIRECTLY up their elitist asses SIDEWAYS!!!!!!!!!!

The IS shop I work in is going thru this now... I've been thru it TWO TIMES before in he past, at other jobs.

All it takes is ONE greedy fuck sociopath manager frothing at the mouth over his big bonus, and yet another good organization is destroyed and the lives of countless decent honest working people are ruined for nothing more than the momentary satiation of the bottomless voracious greed of a few worthless bloodsuckers.

Come on India, give the rich bastards some PAYBACK!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

People across India take to the streets to protest against the detention of social activist Anna Hazare and his supporters in New Delhi. Kolkata
Following Anna's detention, an NGO "Help us Help them" is going to observe a silent protest in the city. "This is horrid and unacceptable. It is against our democratic polity. We are all free to demonstrate in a peaceful manner. Anna is fighting for our country, for the well being of all its citizens. We should all unite to support him. Our NGO is supporting his cause. We will be having a peaceful demonstration today," said Mukti Gupta, the secretary of the organisation.

The youngsters of the city have also planned to support the protest. "Anna came as a special guest in a television show on Friday. He requested all the Indians to support him by standing out of their houses at 8pm today. My friends and I have decided to follow his wishes," said Priyanka Sau, a resident of Bally in Howrah district.

Chennai
People in Chennai gathered to support social activist Anna Hazare's demand for a strong anti-corruption bill, said the India Against Corruption (IAC), which backs the leader.

"With Anna Hazare being detained by Delhi Police, we will soon decide on the issue of courting arrest," media coordinator for IAC Bhavana Upadhyaya told IANS.

Freedom fighter Lakshmikanthan Bharathi, 85, began his fast. Ninety-year-old Venkata Kalyanam, former personal secretary to Mahatma Gandhi, is also expected to join.

Corporate executives, software professionals, media artistes and small businessmen are at the venue of fast in south Chennai, Upadhyaya said.

Lucknow
People across various age groups and different walks of life held demonstrations in this Uttar Pradesh capital to protest the detention of Anna Hazare.

People held protests at several places, including Hazratganj, Gomti Nagar, Aliganj and Vikas Nagar.

Shouting anti-graft slogans, people condemned the Delhi Police action against Hazare, who was detained Tuesday morning, hours before his planned fast against a proposed anti-corruption bill.

Himachal Pradesh
Several activists began an indefinite hunger strike in Himachal Pradesh's Mandi town to press for a strong anti-corruption lokpal bill and express solidarity with civil society leader Anna Hazare, who was detained early morning.

"As per the scheduled programme, we have started our fast in support of a strong Lokpal bill. Since police have arrested Anna, we have decided to go as per previous plan. If needed, we will court arrest," RTI activist Lawan Thakur told IANS from Mandi.

He said Anna's arrest was regrettable and condemnable.

Maharashtra
Residents of Anna Hazare's village Ralegan Siddhi took to the streets to protest the detention of the anti-corruption crusader in New Delhi. There were demonstrations in Pune and Mumbai too.

Scores of people trooped out of their homes soon after news of the arrest of Hazare and his team members reached the village, about 230 km from Mumbai. There was a spontaneous shutdown in the village.

Flaying the arrests, many villagers, including women, marched to the local Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation bus depot and raised slogans against the government.

The state police had deployed tight security in the village and all the roads leading to it from Pune, Ahmednagar, Aurangabad and Nashik.

While thousands of activists staged a march in Pune, a large number of protestors started gathering near Dadar in Mumbai to chart out the further course of action.

The main agitation is planned at Azad Maidan in Mumbai later Tuesday where prominent activists, including Medha Patkar, are expected to congregate.

Orissa
Hundreds of Hazare's supporters held deomonstrations and rallies in protest against his arrest in Bhubaneswar and other cities of Orissa.

In Bhubaneswar, senior citizens, lawyers, social activists and students held demonstrations at several places to show their solidarity with Hazare. "Hazare's arrest reminds one of the emergency in 1975 when democratic rights were throttled by the political establishment," said Rabi Das, convenor of Jan Sammelani.

You don't know shit about India. India won't go up in flames. Its world's largest democracy and at the most, the current mass protests will result in general elections a year or two sooner than the scheduled year 2014 and hopefully this vile, corrupt govt will be replaced by a less corrupt one.

These ongoing protests are primarily to force our Parliament to pass a tough anti-corruption bill and for creation of an independent authority to investigate, prosecute and sentence corrupt politicians.

Who gives a fuck about your 'outsourced' jobs?

No one, except, for few lac cyber-coolies working in BPO's who will easily find better local jobs once the dollar crashes and outsourcing of american jobs comes to a halt.

US 'confident' democratic India can manage internal situation

WASHINGTON: Responding to Indians taking umbrage at a US official's remark on the current protests in India against corruption, Washington has reiterated confidence in India's ability to manage its internal situation consistent with its democratic values.

"India is a very strong and vibrant democracy, and we have confidence in India's ability to manage its internal situation in a manner that is consistent with the democratic values of the state," state department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said on Monday in response to a question about India's reaction to her comments on Friday.

Indian officials and opposition alike had taken objection to the patronising remark of a US official on Friday that US counts on democratic India "to exercise appropriate democratic restraint in the way it deals with peaceful protest" by social activist Anna Hazare against corruption.

Asked if it was possible that she had made up the comment that New Delhi found objectionable on the spur of the moment in response to a question, Nuland said: "Sounds absolutely inconceivable for a State Department spokesperson to be making things up on the top of her head."

You seem to be still confused by imaginary lines drawn up by a power structure of a passing age.

How exactly did the Indians sell you out? They should not be the brunt of your fury. We should take notice and stand in unity against the tyranny and corruption of our government yet you cuss them as though you are some how above them.

Question is why?

What you two aren't getting is that our glorious overlords only shipped those jobs to India (and China, Vietnam, Bangladesh etc, etc etc) is because they can get those people to work for shit wages because they're dirt poor (even the middle class ones).

And when these people get tired of working for nothing, the overlords will fire them all too and replace them with AI programs and robots.
