Winning cricket world cup and overcoming corruption

We have done it, and done it with elan. Despite all talks of India being favourites to win the cup, it was an arduous journey towards excellence and not without hiccups. But we have achieved what to many must have looked like an uphill task, if not mission impossible. Particularly at the preliminary stages. We are champions now. We must now return to the serious business of tackling corruption at the highest levels. Its an enormous task just as enormous as winning the world cup was. If we could do it there, we could do it here as well. What is required is our commitment to remain steadfast in our quest for eradication of this evil that has stayed long enough. Look around and you find a large number of them thriving on corruption. To tackle them, we have to take the bull by its horn. Frail but determined Anna Hazare is in the forefront, so are the other luminaries to lead us out of the dark tunnel. We have to cling together and put pressure on the unwilling government to relent and agree to the draft for Lokpal Bill we have prepared. We have prepared this draft with the firm objective of rooting out corruption from this horizon while those opposing it are keen to keep amassing ill-gotten money to further their own cause. We must not allow them any elbow room and must show them that we mean business and will not relent until this Lokpal bill is passed. Jai Ho.
