Is the IAC (India Against Corruption) campaign genuine?

            This is a very interesting topic yet again after the dynamic feedback that people gave to Anna’s unending fast at Jantar Mantar. Citing the campaign, led by Anna Hazare, as an example of the impact of WikiLeaks cables, Julian Assange, the chief of the whistle-blower WikiLeaks said what was happening in India was “Something that has not happened since the time of Gandhi.”  The IAC (India Against Corruption) campaign was aimed to gather more of support for making a strong Lokpal Bill basically referred to as “Jan Lokpal Bil”. People of the entire nation came together to fight for corruption and people started marching on streets all over the nation on a call to stop corruption. Moreover instead of talking about the progress India has made, the IAC always came up with issues of scams and everything that hampered the growth of the country.

             The fact that Anna and his team are fighting against corruption makes people think that they are set free from half of their problems related to corruption. They feel people have sooner or later realized that it’s high time to get the country developing but on the contrary common people fail to understand as to why was this team formed?

What are the motives of the team in making a party, etc. The motto of the IAC campaign was to gain support from people across the nation and form a party to abolish corruption and also formulate the Lokpal Bill. Common people fail to understand that these are fake manipulators with their hidden agendas who would show their true colours and how corrupt they are when they form their political parties. Here we can talk about Agenda Setting and this example clearly sites the impact that agenda setting has on common people. The agenda that was set by the Anna‘s team was followed by the people of the entire country. Also there is persuasion that comes into picture where this topic is concerned. People are persuaded to listen and follow the news and believe that the Anna team is right and whatever the team does is for the betterment of the country.

       

            It looks like Anna and his team has no intention and courage to fight against corruption and India’s corrupt system and as we all know, corruption can’t be stopped in a country like India where leaders and political parties survive on black money. The intention of the team is just to be in news and grab attention. People went mad at Anna’s initiative at first but later everything was back to square one. The support for Anna was seen the way people uploaded their face book statuses, tweets , people on streets, people talking about it in local trains, people wearing the Anna cap and what not. But the situation of abolishing corruption remains the same. As it was, it is even now!

       Corruption prevails even now! The only thing that Anna and his team have done is gained publicity with introducing “a missed call for supporting Anna” and has also gained grounds on the social networking sites where the IAC page on facebook got 2,88, 491 likes which again influences people and cultivates ideas that what they are doing is very apt and this would bring change in the system which never happens. The IAC is formed just to influence people and make a party of their own so that they could make money like other parties have kept doing!
