New Delhi: Writer Arundhati Roy on Tuesday castdoubts over Anna Hazare's anti-graft campaign saying the civilsociety's Jan Lokpal Bill is a "dangerous piece oflegislation".

"I am sceptical about the legislation (Jan Lokpal Bill)itself for a good number of reasons. I think the legislationis a dangerous piece of work," Roy said a news channel in aninterview.

Alleging that the civil society used public anger intheir favour, the Booker Prize winner novelist said "You(civil society) used the real and legitimate anger of thepeople against corruption to push through this specific pieceof legislation which is very regressive. It could have turnedfrom something inclusive to destructive and dangerous."

Calling the Hazare-led movement a "copy book World Bankagenda", Roy said "It was an NGO-driven movement by KiranBedi, (Arvind) Kejriwal and (Manish) Sisodia.


"Three of them run NGOs and all the three core teammembers are Magsaysay Award winners... World Bank and FordFoundation fund the anti-corruption campaigns. This is copybook World Bank agenda though they might have not meant it."

The writers said "Anna Hazare was picked up and proppedup as the saint for the masses. He was not the brain behindthe movement. We really need to be worry about it."

She also said the Hazare-led movement was not the samething as a people's movement and accused the media ofengineering it.

"Obviously people joined in but all of them were notmiddle class and many came for a sort of reality show wellorchestrated by media campaigns," she said.

"For a nation of one billion people, the media did notfind anything else to report. Certain major TV channelscampaigned for said to be doing so. That's a kind ofcorruption for me at first place," she said.

"If it was only for TPR then why not to settle forpornography or something which gives more TRP?" she asked.

Her Booker Price was a Western Conspiracy to elevate a mediocre writer to a celebrity status and then subsequently use her as a mouthpiece for Western propaganda....Counter that allegation Ms. Roy.
 
I want more of her now.....earlier she would irritate me........Now it is so much fun...........
 
And she is a low life pathetic mole cheap popularity seeker B#tch!

Shameless b#tch! Just wana remain in NEWS!

Heck! why you even started this thread man! ???
 
What does the proposed legislation call for that Roy considers 'regressive and dangerous'?

Ms. Roy does not seem to believe that a Ombudsman can do its job of cleaning corruption without getting corrupted itself. She contends that real power will further shrink to a chosen few.
Ms. Roy believes that the mass display of support for Anna is a well choreographed display of nationalism assisted by the media an there are better ways to do it than Anna.

She does have a valid point about Who watches the watchmen, this is what probably Anna and his team have to convince people about. Let's see if they can implement what they so deeply believe, interesting times ahead.

But for the most part she does comes across as seeking attention by constantly going against the tide.
