You couldn't have been more true, Mr. Gregory. You have put your hand at the right place. You have, like all other Indians with common sense and desire to see the end of this monster, felt the pulse of these politicians. They are scared. That is why they are out to create such a din that we lose sight of the immediate task at hand. This is what we all need to understand and guard against.

The one thing that has shaken them out of their slumber is the fact that the whole country appears to have realized that these corrupt politicians can be shoved to the jail where they could languish for the rest of their life. The mere thought of it has unnerved them, especially when they saw people from all walks of life responding to the call of Anna with so much of gusto and enthusiasm. They were relying heavily on the short memory theory. Let them not forget Baba Ramdev is also waiting in the wings. If the congress and the government create a situation where Anna Hazare is forced to retreat(highly unlikely though), Baba Ramdev will descend on the scene and maybe by that time Anna will regroup and then....it is anybody's guess. Congress should therefore come out of that ivory tower and face the reality, rein in their hounds and go by what the Civil Society has proposed.
