BURHANI COLLEGE & "NEEDS" HAVE ORGANIZED A PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE OF CORRUPTION, THAT HAS BECOME A NATIONAL MALAISE.

UNDOUBTEDLY, THE ANTI-CORRUPTION MOVEMENT LED BY ANNA HAZARE HAS CAPTURED THE IMAGINATION OF THE MASSES & HAS STIRRED THE CONSCIENCE OF THE NATION. THIS MOVEMENT HAS RAISED MANY CRITICAL ISSUES IN THE INTEREST OF THE MASSES. BUT THERE ARE ALSO CERTAIN AREAS OF CONCERN THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

WE WILL BE DEBATING THE NEED FOR A STRONG LOKPAL BILL, THE ISSUES OF THE CONSTITUTION & OUR PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM & THE IMPACT OF THE LAW ON THE VARIOUS SECTION OF INDIAN SOCIETY.

NEVER BEFORE HAS ANY BILL EVER BEEN DEBATED OR DISCUSSED AS WIDELY, AS THE CURRENT CRISIS HAS PROVED.

MORE THAN 400 STUDENTS FROM THE OTHER MUSLIM COLLEGES, APART FROM BURHANI, SUCH AS MAHARASHTRA COLLEGE, AKBAR-PEERBHOY & ANJUMAN ISLAM WILL ALSO BE PRESENT.

ORGANIZERS:
FAROGH WARIS (VICE PRINCIPAL, BURHANI COLLEGE) & ASIF KHAN (PRESIDENT, NEEDS)
