Anna Hazare Vs Indian Parliament?

Anna Hazare's attempt to pressurise the Parliamentarians of different hues / political parties to pass the Lokpal Bill as suggested by his team is facing a rough and tough passage at the moment. Different political parties are interpreting and issuing differing views on the different clauses in the Bill presented by the UPA government on Thursday, December 22, 2011 in the Lok Sabha. Some are advocating the non-inclusion of Prime minister & CBI and state lokayuktas whereas some are opposing it on the ground of being a weak Bill. Well one is apprehensive of its slow death as in the case of Women's Bill. There is not going to be a consensus on such an important and necessary legislation in view of the existing political atmosphere in the country. Every body in today's Indian polity has some sort of  vested interest that needs to be protected. Anna's team will be put to a test of popularity and a long-drawn battle before anything would come out of their struggle made so far.
