Arvind surprise at Anna’s stand on Goverment’s Lokpal Bill
New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal Saturday expressed surprise at activist Anna Hazare agreeing to the revised Lokpal bill and said he will continue his fight for the Jan Lokpal bill till his last breath.
Both Hazare and Kejriwal had agitated for the Jan Lokpal bill in the national capital.
“I am really surprised. How can Anna accept sarkari lokpal bill? Sarkari lokpal is a ‘jokepal’. Who is misguiding Anna? It is also interesting to see that both BJP n Cong have agreed on this ‘jokepal’,” he tweeted.
He said the bill does not contain any of the three most important provisions of the Jan Lokpal bill.
“What does this ‘jokepal’ achieve? CBI has not been made autonomous. CBI will continue to be under govt’s control. None of the 3 conditions which were agreed upon when Anna broke his fast in Aug 2011 are there in this jokepal. So why did Anna agree for such a ‘jokepal’? Which forces are misleading him? I am really sad,” he further tweeted.
