http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=187560077967553

WHY Support?
Dear friends, People in power have proved that they don't want a strong anti-corruption law because it will stop them from looting the nation. We cannot let this happen and we need to take affirmative action to ensure that people win this battle. Anna Hazare ...has decided to give a final and decisive push to Janlokpal by announcing his indefinite fast from 16th August. India needs to be awakened to come out on streets on 16th August. Its time to walk the talk!

We invite friends who would like to lead/organise/coordinate a March from their own city.

HOW AND WHEN
August 1 to August 10

A mass mobilization programme across the country in the form of long marches is being planned starting August 1. These marches will originate from different cities and city coordinators are requested to plan one starting from their own city. For instance, the first march will start from Delhi on August 1 and end in Meerut (55 km) on the next day. Civil society leaders like Arvind Kejriwal will participate in this march. Several marches have already been planned in different cities of UP (starting from their own cities and culminating in Lucknow/Kanpur). In Maharashtra a march is being planned from Pune to Ralegan Sidhi.


LOGISTICS AND PREPARATION
A person can easily walk upto 25-35 kms in a day. Keeping this fact in mind and the time at your hand, plan a march of 50-200 km (2-8 days), work out the route/itinerary and inform us. Sole objective of this march is to make people aware of this historic movement and to urge them to participate in it actively. You will need some posters/banners and pamphlets for the march. Many of you already have these, in case you don’t, we will send you the files and you can get them printed as per your convenience.

While marching, make sure you have regular stopovers where you can interact with local people. Try to walk as much as possible during the morning and evening while keep the afternoon for rest and relaxation. Also, do share your plan with the local media, once you have informed us of the plan, we will push it in the national media in Delhi.
Politicians of all colours regularly undertake such walks for power and support, but this time India will walk for a better and corruption-free India!!! Spread the word.

Ideas and suggestions are most welcome.

क्यों

दोस्तो, सत्ता में बैठे लोगों ने यह साबित कर दिया है कि वे देश में कड़े भ्रष्टाचार विरोधी कानून के खिलाफ हैं क्योंकि यह उन्हें देश को लूटने से रोकेगा। हम, भारत के जिम्मेदार नागरिक ऐसा नहीं होने दे सकते और अब हमें भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ यह जंग जीतने के लिए खुद ही प्रयास करने होंगे। अन्ना हजारे ने जनलोकपाल कानून के लिए निर्णायक दबाव डालने के लिए 16 अगस्त से आमरण अनशन शुरू करने की घोषणा की है। अब भारतवासियों को जगाना होगा और उन्हें 16 अगस्त को सड़कों पर उतरने के लिए प्रेरित करना होगा। अब समय है अपना हक जताने का।

हम अलग-अलग शहरों में इस पदयात्रा का नेतृत्व/आयोजन/ करने के लिए लोगों को आमंत्रित करते हैं।

कब और कहां

1 अगस्त से 10 अगस्त

देश भर में जनजागरण के लिए 1 अगस्त से पूरे देश में पदयात्राओं का आयोजन किया जाएगा। ये पदयात्राएं अलग-अलग शहरों में होंगी। आईएसी से जुड़े साथियों से आग्रह है कि वे अपने शहर में भी ऐसी पदयात्रा का आयोजन करें। पहली पदयात्रा दिल्ली से शुरू होकर भारत के स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में ऐतिहासिक महत्व रखने वाले शहर मेरठ तक जाएगी। करीब दो दिनों में हम 55 किलोमीटर पैदल चलेंगे और रास्ते में लोगों को जनलोकपाल के बारे में जागरुक करेंगे। इस यात्रा में अरविंद केजरीवाल समेत सिविल सोसायटी के अन्य नेता भी शामिल होंगे। पूरे उत्तर प्रदेश में इस तरह की कई पदयात्राओं की तैयारी हो चुकी है, यह पदयात्राएं अलग-अलग शहरों से शुरू होकर लखनऊ/कानपुर में समाप्त होंगी। महाराष्ट्र में ऐसी ही एक पदयात्रा पुणे से शुरू होकर अन्ना हजारे के गांव रालेगान सिद्धी तक जाएगी।

तैयारी

कोई भी सामान्य व्यक्ति एक दिन में 25-35 किलोमीटर तक आराम से पैदल चल सकता है। इस बात को ध्यान में रखते हुए 50-200 किलोमीटर (2-8 दिन) की पदयात्रा की योजना बनाएं। रूट तय करने के बाद हमें सूचित करें ताकि हम इसे ज्यादा से ज्यादा लोगों तक पहुंचा सकें। यदि आपकी पदयात्रा के रूट में कोई ऐतिहासिक/राजनीतिक/सामाजिक महत्व का स्थान आता है तो यह सोने पे सुहागा वाली बात होगी। पदयात्रा के लिए आपको पोस्टर, बैनर, पैंफलेट आदि की जरूरत होगी, ज्यादातर कॉर्डिनेटर्स के पास यह सामग्री पहले से उपलब्ध है। यदि ऐसा नहीं है तो हमें ईमेल करें और हम आपको इनकी फाइलें भेज देंगे ताकि आप इन्हें छपवा सकें।

पदयात्रा का उद्देश्य है ज्यादा से ज्यादा लोगों को जनलोकपाल आंदोलन के बारे में जागरुक करना। इसलिए पदयात्रा के दौरान रुककर लोगों से बातचीत करें, उन्हें 16 अगस्त के लिए तैयार रहने को कहें। अपनी पदयात्रा की जानकारी स्थानीय मीडिया को जरूर दें।

अलग-अलग दलों के नेता और पार्टियां अपने निहित स्वार्थ के लिए अक्सर ऐसी पदयात्राएं करते हैं लेकिन दांडी मार्च के बाद पहली बार नागरिक, देश की भलाई और भ्रष्टाचार मिटाने के लिए पैदल चलेंगे। ज्यादा से ज्यादा लोगों को जोड़े और उन्हें इसके बारे में बताएं।

आपकी राय और सुझावों का स्वागत है।
