The Defence Ministry has ordered its top commanders to communicate to their rank and file that no officer or jawan should express any view on Anna Hazare's protest against Corruption.

Sources have told Headlines Today that Defence Minister A.K. Antony has made it clear that he does not want any senior generals talking out of turn and taking a stand on such an issue in public.

Defence veterans have shown solidarity with Hazare, who is on a fast unto death at Delhi's Jantar Mantar over the Lokpal Bill issue.

if it's true, then it's a good move by Anthony. this is a civil movement & we do not want any political or politically related input. defence coterie in itself is mired with corruption & we need a clean civil movement to withstand all finger pointing!

I don't get this anti Sonia, anti singh views by that extension_ looking at it from outside.

from the outside the country is booming and it has a lot has to do with the governing body. yes, I get the corruption deal and not sure how realistic this bill is...but agree probably a step in the right direction. But the rest of this hatred for congress when, again, from the outside we see the country is making huge strides and great international standing/ repute under this government - as to why this visceral reaction ?

is this like a demand for absolute purity or bust?

country is booming but if the corruption is curbed by 30% it will be super booming. country will run much faster. people will have more faith in politicians and govts.

no doubt I agree and no arguments there. but not being close to Indian politics I kept seeing this anti Sonia Gandhi harshness and could not fathom as to why? i mean at this rate nobody is going to be good enough...

After viewing the entire thread,i got a feeling that some people here r more against Congress than corruption.

I am not trying to initiate a comparison but the reality is that no political party is against corruption,they r only against the corruption done by opposition.

And my two cents on this,lokpal bill is not going to pass in parliament.

Corruption can not be monitored even controlled for the sources of corruptions far away from ordinary people although we can see corruption things maybe like a Lamborghini pass by.
