Several conspiracy theories are bound to float around when a movement is successful. The above is perhaps one of them. The author claims Team Anna's bill does not distinguish between petty corruption and corruption running into sveral hundred crores. I should think even the Law will not distinguish the fact as both are criminal offences in the eyes of the law. One other smear campaign the article brings to light is 'Kabir' a party swearing alliance to Anna has accepted Rs 86 Lakhs fund from Ford foundation of the USA. A movement of the scale the country has just witnessed would require funds. We as observers do not know the authenticity of the information nor the intentions of the funding company so why speculate or give in to smearing campaign. What is happening in India is a move in the right direction, one can only hope it will cure the country of the malaise of corruption.
