(Quran 30:41)
REMEMBER: God Almighty says in the Holy Quran: Every news has its appointed time (which is a term), and you know it. (Firman Allah Taala: Tiap-tiap khabar berita mempunyai masa yang menentukannya (yang membuktikan benarnya atau dustanya); dan kamu akan mengetahuinya. (QS ‘6: verse 67)

Dunia Menggesa Gadhafi Menyerah Diri, Rancangan Masa Depan
Ogos 22, 2011 - ROME (AP) - World pemimpin berkata Isnin akhir berhampiran bagi rejim Moammar Gadhafi dan mula melihat pada masa depan Libya tanpa seorang lelaki yang telah memegang kuasa di sana selama 42 tahun.
Pemimpin di seluruh Eropah mengalu-alukan kemajuan yang dramatik pemberontak 'di ibu negara Libya, Tripoli, selepas enam bulan berperang, dan menggesa Gadhafi menyerahkan dan mengelakkan pertumpahan darah. Ratusan dari Libya yang tinggal di luar negara diraikan di jalan-jalan, membakar imej Strongman Libya.
Walaupun beradanya Gadhafi tidak diketahui, pemimpin-pemimpin yang telah ditetapkan dalam rancangan gerakan untuk masa depan Libya. Britain berkata aset beku Libya yang tidak lama lagi akan akan dilepaskan untuk membantu pemberontak di negara ini menubuhkan perintah; Perancis mengumumkan rancangan untuk mesyuarat 1 antarabangsa minggu depan; Itali telah menghantar satu pasukan asas yang pemberontak 'dari Benghazi untuk membantu pembinaan semula pelan dan pemulihan minyak dan pengeluaran gas asli.
"Masa ini. Tidak ada alternatif untuk menyerah dan menyerahkan dirinya ke muka pengadilan," Italian Menteri Luar Franco Frattini berkata Isnin. "Rejimnya berpecah-belah dan pengunduran penuh. Gadhafi mesti berhenti berjuang, tanpa syarat," kata Cameron di London. Beliau berikrar bahawa Britain dan lain-lain akan membantu "peralihan yang berkesan untuk bebas, demokratik dan inklusif" Libya negara.
Cameron berkata diplomat British akan bergerak dari Benghazi di timur ke Tripoli dengan seberapa segera kerana ia adalah selamat untuk berbuat demikian. Untuk hal ini, beliau telah mengumumkan bahawa Britain, yang telah membekukan kira-kira 12 bilion pound (AS $ 20 bilion) aset Libya, tidak lama lagi akan melepaskan dana.
Jerman mengumumkan rancangan yang sama sekali rejim itu. Menteri Luar Guido Westerwelle berkata bahawa hanya lebih euro7 bilion ($ 10.1 bilion) berada dalam keadaan beku di Jerman dan bahawa wang itu boleh digunakan untuk membantu membina semula Libya. "Orang-orang Libya berhak untuk wang ini," katanya.
Perancis berkata "kumpulan kenalan" kuasa-kuasa antarabangsa yang terlibat dalam menstabilkan Libya akan bertemu minggu depan di Paris. Menteri Luar Alain Juppé berkata ketua kumpulan pembangkang Libya, Majlis Peralihan Negara, akan berada di Paris untuk membincangkan masa depan kini bahawa rejim Gadhafi "selesai."
Perancis dan Britain, yang disokong oleh Amerika Syarikat, telah menerajui kempen NATO-led udara yang bermula bulan lalu di bawah satu resolusi Majlis Keselamatan PBB menyeru untuk melindungi orang awam. Di Brussels, Kesatuan Eropah berikrar dalam satu kenyataan kepada "terus menyokong negara dalam peralihan demokrasi dan pembinaan semula ekonomi, yang berdasarkan keadilan sosial, keterangkuman dan keutuhan wilayah." EU telah diberikan euro150 juta ($ 215 juta) dalam bantuan kemanusiaan ke Libya semasa perang saudara, dan pada bulan Mei, asing EU hal ehwal Catherine Ketua Ashton dilanjutkan de-facto pengiktirafan kepada Majlis pemberontak dengan membuka pejabat diplomatik di Benghazi.
Tetapi pemimpin juga amaran terhadap risiko keganasan yang semakin meningkat sebagai Gadhafi terdesak mungkin cuba berpaut kepada kuasa. Sebaliknya, mereka berkata, Gadhafi harus muka pengadilan dan menyerah diri kepada Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa.
"Ada risiko yang besar bahawa keganasan akan memuncak," Sweden Perdana Menteri Fredrik Reinfeldt memberitahu TT agensi berita Sweden. "Ia adalah satu keadaan yang amat berbahaya dengan pelbagai kumpulan-kumpulan militan lelaki, muda dan marah pada senjata yang longgar dan bersenjatakan. Ia akan menjadi yang terbaik jika rejim tersebut hanya menyerahkan dan kita akan mendapat gencatan senjata dan mengha-puskan senjata."
Frattini berkata tidak ada ruang yang lebih panjang untuk pengantaraan, termasuk membenarkan Gadhafi untuk pergi ke pengasingan atau kekal di Libya, tetapi melepaskan kuasa - seperti yang telah dicadangkan pada beberapa titik sebagai dip-lomat mencari cara-cara untuk mendapatkan apa yang muncul untuk menjadi buntu tentera.
Afrika Selatan yang telah dikritik pengeboman NATO dan membawa gagal usaha Kesatuan Afrika untuk menjadi pengantara antara pemberontak dan Gadhafi - mendesak ia telah menghantar tidak ada pesawat ke Libya untuk mengosongkan Gadhafi. Ia berkata ia telah menerima tiada permintaan dari dia untuk suaka, dan terlibat dalam tiada usaha untuk mengeluarkan beliau.
"Saya agak kagum bahawa terdapat juga memerli bahawa kita memudahkan pemin-dahan sesiapa," kata Menteri Luar Maite Nkoana-Mashabane. Beliau berkata bahawa "yang pasti, dia tidak akan meminta untuk datang ke sini" dan berkata bahawa Afrika Selatan adalah ahli Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa - mencadangkan bahawa Afrika Selatan akan mempunyai untuk menangkap Gadhafi jika dia tiba di sana.
Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa, telah didakwa Gadhafi atas tuduhan jenayah terhadap kemanusiaan, bersama-sama dengan salah satu anak-anaknya, Gadhafi Seif al-Islam, dan ketua risikan Libya. Seif Gadhafi telah ditangkap oleh pasukan pemberontak, manakala satu lagi anak-anak Gadhafi di bawah tahanan rumah.
Kerajaan Malta, dekat pulau kecil Mediterranean ke utara Afrika, juga telah menafikan laporan bahawa Gadhafi diketuai di sana. Pada hari Ahad, Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama menggesa Gadhafi untuk menerima realiti dan melepaskan kuasa. "Cara yang paling pasti untuk pertumpahan darah hingga akhir adalah mudah: Moammar Gadhafi dan rejim perlu menyedari bahawa pemerintahan mereka telah berakhir," ujar Presiden.
Di luar negara, ekspatriat Libya meraikan apa yang mereka merasakan sudah akhir rejim. Di Ankara, ibu kota Turki, berpuluh-puluh Libya berbondong-bondong ke kedu-taan untuk meraikan 'pemberontak yang menyita banyak Tripoli. Mereka hapuskan bendera hijau rejim Gadhafi dari tiang dan digantikan dengan triwarna pemberontak '. Mereka meraih poster Gadhafi dari dalam bangunan itu, dihancurkan atau menetapkan mereka di atas api sebagai kakitangan kedutaan menonton. Kumpulan, termasuk wanita dan kanak-kanak, kemudian diteruskan dengan nyanyian dan tarian kerana mereka melambai bendera pemberontak '.
Suatu adegan yang sama berlaku di Malta, di mana beberapa Libya 200 memasuki kedutaan Libya pada hari Ahad untuk pengangkat bendera kemerdekaan Libya sambil membakar gambar-gambar Gadhafi dan bendera hijau. Sambutan berterusan sepanjang malam dan masih pada pagi Isnin.
"Perayaan kita kini lihat di Libya, dan tidak kurang di jalan-jalan Tripoli, semua titik dalam satu arah: perjuangan yang rakyat Libya itu untuk kebebasan telah pergi ke dalam pertandingan," kata Perdana Menteri Lars Loekke Rasmussen dari Denmark, yang negara telah mengambil bahagian dalam kempen NATO. "Ia adalah penting bahawa fasa akhir dikendalikan dengan cara yang terhormat dan bahawa Majlis Kebangsaan Peralihan kekal bersatu untuk menguruskan peralihan ke arah mengadakan pilihan raya yang bebas."

Kritikan tumbuh terhadap Aktivis Anti-Rasuah India
Ogos 22, 2011 - NEW DELHI (AP) - Kritikan dipasang Isnin ter-hadap mogok lapar seorang aktivis India, dengan tokoh masya-rakat mengatakan ia mengancam demokrasi dan verges pada demagoguery, walaupun beribu-ribu sesak protes menuntut lebih kuat undang-undang anti-rasuah.
Perdana Menteri Manmohan Singh - yang kerajaan telah dilanda skandal - muncul untuk menolak permintaan Anna Hazare, berkata "tidak ada tongkat sakti yang boleh menyelesaikan masalah dalam satu pukulan." Tetapi Hazare pengecil 73-year-old kekal tidak gentar. Digalakkan oleh kamera TV dan beribu-ribu melaungkan penyokong, beliau telah berikrar untuk berpuasa selama-lamanya sehingga pihak berkuasa lulus versi rang undang-undang - bukan draf kerajaan mewujudkan badan pemantau anti-rasuah yang kuat.
Beliau telah menghadapi kritikan kecil sejak awal cepat Selasa lepas, tetapi aktivis terkemuka telah mula bercakap sebagai daya tarikan mesej keuntungan dalam perbahasan awam. "Prop dan koreografi, nasionalisme agresif dan mengibarkan bendera ... isyarat kepada kita bahawa jika kita tidak menyokong Fast tersebut, kita tidak 'sebenar India,'" Arundhati Roy, salah satu penulis paling terkenal dan aktivis India, wrote Isnin dalam akhbar Hindu.
Beliau bashed bil Hazare sebagai "begitu cacat bahawa ia adalah mustahil untuk mengambil serius," mengatakan bahawa ia mengabaikan institusi terkemuka lain seperti syarikat dan media. Walau bagaimanapun, puluhan ribu yang membawa tanda-tanda yang mengatakan "Saya Anna Hazare" telah membuat bantahan di seluruh India untuk menyokong mogok lapar. Saluran TV itu memberikan liputan berita 24-jam termasuk kemas kini segera bagi berat Hazare, dan sauh TV telah diisytiharkan "India."
Hazare - menggayakan dirinya selepas pejuang kebebasan India Mahatma K. Gandhi - telah jelas menyentuh saraf di negara khas yang dipakai oleh rasuah yang berleluasa. Setiap orang daripada petani luar bandar yang miskin untuk profesional bandar kelas pertengahan mengadu perlu membayar rasuah untuk perkhidmatan asas, termasuk penjagaan kesihatan, kemasukan sekolah dan pendaftaran kematian.
Tiada siapa mempertikaikan mesej penting Hazare bahawa rasuah adalah merugikan India. Tetapi pengkritik yang mempersoalkan permintaan beliau untuk memberi pihak berkuasa badan pemantau yang dicadangkan untuk menyiasat dan mendakwa hakim-hakim atas dan Perdana Menteri. Dalam demokrasi banyak, hakim dan pegawai atas dipilih mempunyai kekebalan semasa di pejabat untuk melindungi mereka daripada pendakwaan yang bermotifkan politik.
Singh berkata kerajaan hanya baru-baru ini dibentangkan rang undang-undang ombudsman bagi perdebatan parlimen yang akan "mengambil masa" sebagai penggubal undang-undang mencari konsensus. Beliau melahirkan kekecewaan dengan bantahan, berkata: "Saya berasa kerumitan tugas itu tidak dapat dihargai"
Desakan Hazare, melalui mogok lapar, yang hanya cadangan beliau boleh memperbaiki masalah tersebut juga telah pemimpin sivik terkesima yang mempertikaikan tanggapan bahawa Hazare dan pasukannya mewakili semua India. "Rasa tidak percaya mereka Parlimen adalah berbahaya dan tidak wajar oleh pengalaman yang bebas India," Kasar Mander, seorang aktivis yang menganggotai Majlis Penasihat Kebangsaan yang membantu menetapkan dasar sosial kerajaan, menulis dalam Times Hindustan.
Lain-lain berkata permintaan Hazare smacked demagoguery dan institusi demokrasi dipijak. "Keseluruhan ini 'Adakah anda dengan kami? Jika anda tidak bersama kami, maka anda terhadap saya'" mengingatkan retorik yang digunakan oleh ketika itu Presiden George W. Bush dalam jangka sehingga perang Iraq, kata Nilekani Nandan, bekas seorang ahli perniagaan kini mengetuai projek raksasa India untuk memberi kad rakyat 1.2 bilion ID.
"Saya tidak membeli ini hujah bahawa, hanya kerana anda telah mencadangkan laluan yang berlainan, yang bermakna anda menentang kami dan oleh itu anda adalah pro-rasuah," katanya kepada saluran berita NDTV. Bekas parlimen speaker Somnath Chatterjee memberitahu televisyen CNN-IBN protes itu menjadi "perang salib" terhadap kerajaan dan Perdana Menteri. "Bunyinya agak anti-demokratik kepada saya."
Lebih daripada 70 pemimpin masyarakat awam termasuk artis, pelajar, doktor, peguam dan peguam bela hak menghantar surat kepada perdana menteri yang menuduh Hazare yang menyamar sebagai pemimpin gerakan yang inklusif.
"Hanya yang naif akan gagal untuk notis itu kuasa-kuasa yang dianjurkan yang berada di belakang kempen Anna Hazare," katanya, menuduh kumpulan nasionalis Hindu menyalakan kempen. Wakil-wakil dalits bawah-kasta di India, atau untouchables, berkata rang undang-undang Hazare mengabaikan perlindungan yang diperlukan oleh orang-orang miskin.
"Ia adalah atas-kasta, gerakan kelas pertengahan dan menangani isu-isu mereka seperti rasuah yang dibayar kepada pihak polis atau di pejabat pasport Petani, bahagian terdedah, tidak termasuk dalam bidang kuasa mereka," Dalit aktivis Arun Khote dipetik pada hujung minggu sebagai berkata oleh akhbar Standard Perniagaan.
Hazare seolah-olah melanggar pengkritiknya apabila beliau mengisytiharkan Ahad perkara-perkara berikut mewakili "rakyat parlimen" yang "lebih tinggi daripada Parlimen negara." Pada hari Isnin pembantu beliau berkata Hazare mahu Perdana Menteri untuk menghantar seorang wakil untuk rundingan terus dan mengadu masih terdapat tidak konsesi walaupun hampir tujuh hari puasa.
"Tidak ada tuntutan-tuntutan kami telah dimasukkan," kata aktivis Arvind Kejriwal. "Tidak ada perjanjian di antara masyarakat awam dan kerajaan." Sementara itu, pasukan Hazare berkata beliau telah kehilangan 11 paun (5 kilogram). Pihak Berkuasa dike-hendaki untuk campur tangan jika kehidupan Hazare berisiko, dianggap sebagai bunuh diri adalah salah di sisi undang-undang di India.

Gaza militants renew rocket fire despite truce
August 22, 2011 — JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian militants in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip fired rockets and mortar shells into southern Israel Monday, despite an unofficial truce meant to defuse days of escalating violence.
Around midday, a group that had held out from joining the cease-fire announced it would comply. The Israeli military said 15 projectiles were launched at Israel overnight, most of which fell in open fields. No injuries were reported. Israel retaliated with an airstrike before midnight Sunday that targeted a rocket-launching device.
A Hamas official said Sunday that militant groups in Gaza had agreed a truce would go into effect that evening to end three days of clashes between Israel and Gaza militants. Hamas security personnel would enforce the Egypt-brokered agreement, he said.
The latest round of violence began with a deadly attack on Israelis near the Egypt-Israel border on Thursday. That touched off a deadly round of Israeli airstrikes and rocket fire from Gaza. About 15 Palestinians, most of them gunmen, were killed in the air attacks. Eight Israelis died in the border attack and another was killed by rocket fire.
The Popular Resistance Committees had resisted joining the cease-fire because an Israeli airstrike on Thursday killed several of its senior members, whom Israel accused of involvement in the border ambush, another Hamas official said Monday. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak for the other group.
But Monday afternoon, the PRC told a news conference it would join the truce. The Israeli government says it was not involved in cease-fire talks. But Israeli President Shimon Peres, touring a city hit hard by rocket fire over the weekend said, "If they will cease fire, there will be a cease-fire."
In the meantime, militant leaders in Gaza were not answering their telephones, fearing the Israelis would be able to locate and assassinate them. A senior Israeli military official, meanwhile, said Israel's newest rocket defense system did not provide full defense when faced with a barrage of Palestinian rockets.
Col. Zvika Haimovitch said the Iron Dome system he oversees was not foolproof against a salvo of five rockets fired Saturday from the Gaza Strip. The system intercepted four of the rockets, but missed the last one, which killed an Israeli man.
The sudden flare-up in violence also caused new friction in relations between Israel and Egypt, after Egypt accused Israel of killing five of its security personnel along the border while pursuing militants responsible for the frontier ambush on Thursday.
Under pressure from popular anti-Israel sentiment, the Egyptian government at one point threatened to recall its ambassador to Israel. Israel apologized and Egypt recanted.

World urges Gadhafi to surrender, plans future
August 22, 2011 — ROME (AP) — World leaders said Monday the end is near for Moammar Gadhafi's regime and began looking at Libya's future without the man who has held power there for 42 years.
Leaders across Europe welcomed the rebels' dramatic advances in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, after six months of fighting, and urged Gadhafi to surrender and avoid a bloodbath. Hundreds of Libyans living abroad celebrated in the streets, burning images of the Libyan strongman.
Though Gadhafi's whereabouts was not known, leaders set in motion plans for Libya's future. Britain said its frozen Libyan assets will soon be released to help the country's rebels establish order; France announced plans for an international meeting next week; Italy has sent a team to the rebels' base of Benghazi to help plan reconstruction and the restoration of oil and natural gas production.
"The time is up. There is no alternative to surrendering and handing himself in to justice," Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said Monday. "His regime is falling apart and in full retreat. Gadhafi must stop fighting, without conditions," Cameron said in London. He vowed that Britain and others would now assist Libya's "effective transition to a free, democratic and inclusive" nation.
Cameron said British diplomats would move from Benghazi in the east to Tripoli as soon as it was safe to do so. Crucially, he announced that Britain, which has frozen about 12 billion pounds (US$20 billion) of Libyan assets, will soon release the funds.
Germany announced similar plans once the regime is out. Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said that just over euro7 billion ($10.1 billion) is frozen in Germany and that the money could be used to help rebuild Libya. "The Libyan people are entitled to this money," he said.
France said the "contact group" of international powers involved in stabilizing Libya would meet next week in Paris. Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said the head of Libya's opposition group, the National Transitional Council, would be in Paris to discuss the future now that Gadhafi's regime is "finished."
France and Britain, backed by the United States, have spearheaded the NATO-led air campaign that began months ago under a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for the protection of civilians. In Brussels, the European Union vowed in a statement to "keep supporting the country in its democratic transition and economic reconstruction, based on social justice, inclusiveness and territorial integrity." The EU has given euro150 million ($215 million) in humanitarian aid to Libya during the civil war, and in May, EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton extended de-facto recognition to the rebels' council by opening a diplomatic office in Benghazi.
But leaders also cautioned against the risk of escalating violence as a desperate Gadhafi might try to cling to power. Instead, they said, Gadhafi should face justice and turn himself in to the International Criminal Court.
"There's a great risk that the violence will escalate," Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt told Swedish news agency TT. "It's a very dangerous situation with various militia groups of young, angry men on the loose and armed with weapons. It would be best if the regime simply surrenders and we get a cease-fire and rid of the weapons."
Frattini said there was no longer room for mediation, including allowing Gadhafi to go into exile or remain in Libya but relinquish power — as had been suggested at various points as diplomats sought ways to get out of what appeared to be a military stalemate.
South Africa — which has criticized the NATO bombing and led failed African Union efforts to mediate between the rebels and Gadhafi — insisted it had sent no planes to Libya to evacuate Gadhafi. It said it had received no request from him for asylum, and was involved in no efforts to extricate him.
"I'm quite amazed that there's even an insinuation that we are facilitating evacuation of anyone," said Foreign Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane. She said that "for sure, he will not ask to come here" and noted that South Africa is an International Criminal Court member — suggesting that South Africa would have to arrest Gadhafi if he arrived there.
The International Criminal Court has indicted Gadhafi on charges of crime against humanity, along with one of his sons, Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, and Libya's intelligence chief. Seif Gadhafi has been arrested by rebel forces, while another one of Gadhafi's sons is under house arrest.
The government of Malta, a tiny Mediterranean island close to north Africa, has also denied reports that Gadhafi is headed there. On Sunday, U.S. President Barack Obama urged Gadhafi to accept reality and relinquish power. "The surest way for the bloodshed to end is simple: Moammar Gadhafi and his regime need to recognize that their rule has come to an end," the president said.
Outside of the country, Libyan expatriates celebrated what they felt was already the end of the regime. In Ankara, the Turkish capital, dozens of Libyans flocked to the embassy to celebrate the rebels' seizing much of Tripoli. They removed the Gadhafi regime's green flag from a mast and replaced it with the rebels' tricolor one. They grabbed Gadhafi posters from inside the building, smashed or set them on fire as the embassy staff watched. The group, which included women and children, then proceeded to chant and dance as they waved the rebels' flags.
A similar scene occurred in Malta, where some 200 Libyans entered the Libyan embassy on Sunday to hoist the Libyan independence flag while setting fire to pictures of Gadhafi and his green flag. The celebrations continued through the night and were still on Monday morning.
"The celebrations we currently see in Libya, and not least in the streets of Tripoli, all point in one direction: the Libyan people's struggle for freedom has gone into the playoffs," said Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen of Denmark, whose country took part in the NATO campaign. "It is crucial that the final phase is handled in a dignified manner and that the National Transitional Council remains united to manage the transition toward the holding of free elections."

Criticism grows against Indian anti-graft activist
Ogos 22, 2011 - NEW DELHI (AP) - Kritikan dipasang Isnin ter-hadap mogok lapar seorang aktivis India, dengan tokoh masya-rakat mengatakan ia mengancam demokrasi dan verges pada demagoguery, walaupun beribu-ribu sesak protes menuntut lebih kuat undang-undang anti-rasuah.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh — whose government has been beset by scandal — appeared to dismiss Anna Hazare's demands, saying "there is no magic wand that can solve the problem in one stroke." But the diminutive 73-year-old Hazare remained undaunted. Encouraged by TV cameras and thousands of chanting supporters, he has vowed to fast indefinitely until authorities pass his version of a bill — instead of the government's draft — creating a powerful anti-corruption watchdog.
He has faced little criticism since beginning his fast last Tuesday, but prominent activists have begun speaking out as his message gains traction in public debate. "The props and the choreography, the aggressive nationalism and flag waving ... signal to us that if we do not support The Fast, we are not 'true Indians,'" Arundhati Roy, one of India's best-known writers and activists, wrote Monday in The Hindu newspaper.
She bashed Hazare's bill as "so flawed that it is impossible to take seriously," saying that it ignores other prominent institutions like corporations and the media. Nevertheless, tens of thousands carrying signs saying "I am Anna Hazare" have protested across India to support the hunger strike. TV channels were giving 24-hour news coverage including urgent updates on Hazare's weight, and TV anchors have declared "India is One."
Hazare — styling himself after Indian freedom fighter Mohandas K. Gandhi — has clearly touched a nerve in a country wearied by rampant corruption. Everyone from poor rural farmers to urban middle-class professionals complain of having to pay bribes for basic services, including health care, school admission and registration of death.
No one disputes Hazare's essential message that corruption is harming India. But critics questioned his demand to give the proposed watchdog authority to investigate and prosecute top judges and the prime minister. In many democracies, judges and top elected officials have immunity while in office to protect them from politically motivated prosecutions.
Singh noted his government had only recently tabled its ombudsman bill for a parliamentary debate that would "take time" as lawmakers seek consensus. He expressed frustration with the protests, saying: "I feel the complexity of the task is not adequately appreciated."
Hazare's insistence, through a hunger strike, that only his proposal can fix the problem has also unnerved civic leaders who dispute the impression that Hazare and his team represent all of India. "Their distrust of Parliament is hazardous and also unjustified by past experience of free India," Harsh Mander, an activist who sits on the National Advisory Council that helps set government social policy, wrote in the Hindustan Times.
Others said Hazare's demands smacked of demagoguery and trampled democratic institutions. "This whole 'Are you with us? If you are not with us, then you are against me'" is reminiscent of rhetoric used by then-President George W. Bush in the run-up to the Iraq war, said Nandan Nilekani, a former businessman now leading India's mammoth project to give its 1.2 billion citizens ID cards.
"I don't buy this argument that, just because you have proposed a different path, that means you are against us and therefore you are pro-corruption," he told the NDTV news channel. Former parliamentary speaker Somnath Chatterjee told CNN-IBN television that the protest was become a "crusade" against the government and the prime minister. "It sounds rather anti-democratic to me."
More than 70 civil society leaders including artists, students, doctors, lawyers and rights advocates sent a letter to the prime minister accusing Hazare of masquerading as the leader of an all-inclusive movement.
"Only the naive would fail to notice the organized forces that are behind Anna Hazare's campaign," it said, accusing a Hindu nationalist group of stoking the campaign. Representatives of India's bottom-caste dalits, or untouchables, said Hazare's bill ignored protections needed most by the poor.
"It is an upper-caste, middle-class movement and it addresses their issues — such as bribes paid to the police or at passport offices. Peasants, vulnerable sections, don't fall in their purview," dalit activist Arun Khote was quoted over the weekend as saying by Business Standard newspaper.
Hazare seemed to be defying his critics when he declared Sunday that his following represented a "people's parliament" that is "higher than the nation's Parliament." On Monday his aides said Hazare wanted the prime minister to send a representative for direct negotiations and complained there were still no concessions despite nearly seven days fasting.
"None of our demands has been included," activist Arvind Kejriwal said. "There is no agreement between civil society and government." In the meantime, Hazare's team said he had lost 11 pounds (5 kilograms). Authorities are required to intervene if Hazare's life is at risk, as suicide is illegal in India.
