New Delhi, Aug 10: Undeterred to go on fast against corruption, Gandian Anna Hazare today stressed that civil society will not go back on the issue of Lokpal Bill and demanded that all issues set aside by the government be brought back into the bill.
The statement comes on the day when he and his associates will meet a Parliamentary panel to put forth their views on the Lokpal Bill. "There is nothing in the bill which is introduced in Parliament.
It is just a show off. It has been drafted just to tell the people that we have a law to fight corruption. It will be of no use," Mr Hazare told mediapersons here. He said he is not going on fast because of any happiness but only for the public, for the country.
Regarding the meet today, the civil society representatives called it a formality. "There is no use of it. If the Committee discusses the draft, it will be a waste of time for it also. There is nothing to discuss in the bill. The government has left no way for us to call off strike," RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal said.
