In my view, we should let the Captain (Anna Hazare) decide on all issues like whether the Bhushans should quit or stay. We should just rally behind him.

As we can see, even among well meaning people who want to eradicate corruption, there are different views. If all of us express our own opinions, if the corrupt politicians raise 4 such issues, we'll be divided into 16 camps, and the movement will fizzle out.

Instead, if we place our faith in Anna's judgment (regardless of whether it is right or wrong... no one knows for sure what is right and what is wrong on such issues; all views are subjective) we will all still stand united as one movement, and have a chance to succeed. The need of the hour is unity among Anna's followers.

It's almost impossible to re-create this situation and momentum if we fail now. Let's not contribute to its failure.

Surely, each of us will have our own opinions on such issues. Let's keep our views to ourselves; let's not even discuss or debate them in public.

Even those close to Anna should not discuss these things in public without consulting Anna.

Let's just let one driver (Anna Hazare) drive the movement forward.

Let's spread this message of unity behind Anna among our friends and well meaning citizens, through conversation, email, teletalk and every means possible.

Ganesan. :~)
