CPI asks govt to accept Jan Lokpal bill drafted by activists

New Delhi, Apr 8 (PTI) Extending support to Anna Hazare''s agitation, the CPI today asked the government to accept the Jan Lokpal bill drafted by social activists and legal luminaries and table it in Parliament.
Terming the Lokpal Bill proposed by the government as "only an eye wash" and one which did not give any power to the Lokpal, party General Secretary A B Bardhan said the ongoing agitation was a reflection of the people''s desire to eliminate corruption which is "eating away the vitals of the nation".
In a statement, he said, "Unprecedented corruption is on the rise in the recent period. Each day is uncovering new scams and financial misdeeds on the part of leaders of ruling party, and its political front. Nation is loosing lakhs of crores of rupees.
"While majority of the population is getting pauperised and is starving, corporate houses are increasing their profits manifold with the direct support of the Government".
The veteran communist leader said the Jan LokPal Bill was the need of the hour and people''s representatives, including the Prime Minister, Ministers, Judges and officials, should be made accountable.
Noting that the alternative Jan Lokpal Bill drafted by social activists and retired judges has been supported by his party, Bardhan said Hazare was demanding that it be tabled in Parliament.
Bardhan also appealed to all CPI units and the people to continue the agitation against corruption and black money on a bigger scale.
The CPI(M) and CPI-ML (Liberation) have also come out in support of Hazare''s cause, asking the government to consult all political parties, social activists and citizens'' groups to finalise a new draft Lokpal legislation.
