Chandigarh: Yoga master Ramdev on Saturday threatened to launch a mass stir from August nine if the UPA government did not take effective steps for establishment of a strong Lokpal and in bringing back black money stashed abroad.

"The government is not taking result-oriented steps to bring back black money. It is also not doing enough for setting up an effective Lokpal to rein in corruption.

"They will have to do these two things. Otherwise on August nine, we will launch a stir with support of crores of people of this country," Ramdev said.

Quit India movement was launched on August nine, 1942.

"We will only relent when the black money will come back and the country gets a strong Lokpal. Otherwise, I am ready to pay with my life," he said after taking a round of world famous Rock Garden here.

The August nine stir would be "100 times bigger" than what the country witnessed at Ram Lila ground, Ramdev said.

"It will be a fight to the finish, a decisive battle. I can only say we will fight even if we have to give up our life for the nation and its people."

The yoga guru went round the Rock Garden, made of common household and other waste material, and met its creator Nek Chand.

I have just returned from the market if you see unsafe it is to be on the road one can imagine why people are committing suicides. Expensive food, unsafe roads, no water, no electricity, yet inflated(astronomical) bills and threats to cut connections, nature being subjected to crimes in many ways, what do our planners have in mind. Do they realise that once the public becomes wild they will not be able to find a place to hide. Life is FULL of unnecessary stresses. If planners keep inflicting this the bomb of impatience and repression will blow up. National governanace can be brought on track IMMEDIATELY if they make govt jobs as insecure production oriented with targets. When Govt servants know that nothing will happen to them they exploit the situation and become LORDS. Even drivers of govt servants behave as though they are commissioners on duty. All mangement principals are being flouted. This is causing ir-repairable loss to Govt`s credibility.

The difficulty with Baba Randeoji is that he thinks himself the only person who is right. he does not allow anybody to speak.He is right so far a crusade against black money is concerned but talking against money sent by indians from abroad should be confiscated and be declared as black money. I donot think he is right. He should discuss with stalwarts in the field before making comments in the public. My feeling is that there are experts on this topic and are honest also. Search them, discuss with them, and then come out with what is best for the country. hope he understands and revises .
