Here are four such questions that were heard repeatedly across Jay Prakash Narayan Park in Delhi, where Hazare was originally meant to stage his fast-unto-death for a stronger Lokpal compared to what the government is offering, Tihar Jail where Anna was kept after his arrest, or India Gate and Jantar Mantar, the two venues where people -- young and old -- in thousands, challenged the undemocratic means adopted by the Delhi police and their political masters:
Why on earth did the Delhi police arrest an old man who was fighting for a powerful anti-corruption ombudsman that they think will help them and the future generations lead a better life?
Why is the government so adamant in not putting before parliament the draft of the Jan Lokpal bill proposed by Team Anna?
Why can't the government see what the common people want when it comes to handling corruption in their day-to-day lives?
Why is the government of the day not allowing an old man to stage a peaceful fast-unto-death to push for what most Indians believe now will be a panacea against corruption?
