While the talk of transparency is all right, there is also a strong need for improving our own character. We have a tendency to fall prey to lucre of money and all that goes with it. If we are able to stem and stop our own greed, it will go a long way in containing corruption. We must not lose sight of the fact that more than 90% are corrupt in our country. Anna himself has spoken about on a number of occasions. He is able to take the people with him because he is clean. How many of us can claim to be clean as Anna? Blaming Congress or the politicians alone would not do. If we are clean, we can force them to be clean. We must also give up our servile attitude. WE do not treat our representatives whether in parliament or in legislative assemblies as our representatives but as ours saviours (huzoor mai baap) enjoying divine powers. Why do we constantly kowtow before them for slightest favours? This is corruption. The other day I formed part of a gathering where our chief minister was to come. The moment he came, all rose on their feet. We gave him to feel that he was our king and we his subjects. How long should we do this? If we continue to do this, they will rightly feel that they are our superiors and not just our representatives, power of attorney holders whose powers can be withdrawn anytime by those who gave that power. It is corruption lying in dormancy in our character that makes us do that. This is what Anna has spoken against. Let us follow him if we really want to rid this country of corruption and the corrupt. Let the fight begin at the nearest point, at the point of self.
