Anna victorious, India triumphs

A new‘India Awakened’  with the Parliament’s unanimous adoption of a resolution agreeing“in principle” with Team Anna’s position on the three sticking points that prolonged the standoff on the Lokpal legislation. The decision comes as a victory after the anti-corruption mood in the country. It also reinforced the power of non-violence and a just cause.

After a day of speeches, Parliament adopted a resolution endorsing Mr. Hazare’s central demands for shaping legislation to create an independent anticorruption agency empowered to scrutinize public officials and bureaucrats in India.
