Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare on Monday dubbed the government's draft Lokpal bill as “weak and full of loopholes” and urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to bring in Parliament the Jan Lokpal Bill proposed by civil society members.
In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Mr. Hazare renewed his threat to go on indefinite fast. He said: “We are willing to go through the parliamentary procedure. But at least your government should bring a strong and effective Lokpal Bill in Parliament or else I will have no other option but to go on indefinite fast from August 16 as I had stated when I broke my fast in April.”
Mr. Hazare charged the government with lack of political will to come out with a strong and effective Lokpal Bill. He said the government draft was a “joke” played on the nation. “None of the scams that the nation is witnessing today are covered under the government's Bill. We are today at the same place from where we started.”
How can a govt.bathed in corruption can go for an anti corruption movement. It is the people who are supreme should teach a lesson to the present govt. about a sound administration
