Meet and Greet With Shri. Anna Hajareji
This is my private invitation to meet and have dinner with Shri Anna Hazare,
pioneer of India's anti-corruption movement and also one of the 100 most
influential people in the world (named by Times magazine).
He is currently residing at my place. This is for very limited people,
so please email me if you are interested as early as possible.
Here is a brief introduction:
He
is an Indian social activist who led movements to promote rural
development, increase government transparency, and investigate and
punish official corruption. In addition to organizing and encouraging
grassroots movements, Hazare frequently conducted hunger strikes to
further his causes—a tactic reminiscent, to many, of the work of Mahatma
Gandhi.

Anna
ji has led many non-violent campaigns against government policies, to
benefit the common man and remove corruption from the Indian political
system. Some of his prominent achievements include:
-
He
led a movement in Maharashtra state which forced the state government
to enact a revised Maharashtra Right to Information Act. This Act was
later considered as the base document for the Right to Information Act 2005 (RTI), enacted by the Union Government. It also ensured that the President of India assented to this new Act.
- He initiated a Satyagraha movement for passing a stronger anti-corruption Lokpal (ombudsman) bill in the Indian Parliament, the Jan Lokpal Bill (People's Ombudsman Bill). The draft incorporated more stringent provisions and gave wider power to the Lokpal (Ombudsman) than the government's 2010 draft.These included placing "the Prime Minister within the ambit of the proposed lokpal’s powers.
He
participated in the Indian Independence Day
Parade in New York City.
Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon.
Best,
