The Anti-Corruption Campaigner
Swapan Dasgupta of the The Telegraph compares Indira Gandhi's 'Emergency' with the present day Anna Hazare's campaign. He says that "the JP movement was far more organized and involved the active participation of nearly all the non-Communist Opposition parties and their affiliated student wings. JP played the role of a symbolic leader but the activists were invariably attached to political parties. The Anna movement has consciously chosen to bypass the networks of political parties. This is partly because of the perception that the entire political class is the problem and partly because the so-called Team Anna is fearful of being eclipsed by politicians who are more accomplished in the extra-parliamentary game. The Emergency was the contribution of a strong leader determined to prevail at all costs. Today, the political authority of the government has been further eroded by a non-functioning dyarchy comprising a plasticine prime minister and a 'youth icon' whose role has been taken by a 73-year-old Gandhian."
