New Delhi, June 3 (ANI): The Congress Party on Sunday hit back at yoga guru Baba Ramdev and veteran social activist Anna Hazare for sitting on a daylong fast against corruption and for their demand for a stronger Lokpal Bill, describing it as an infantile and uncalled for approach.
Senior Congress leader K. Keshav Rao expressed disapproval of the daylong protest called by Team Anna and Baba Ramdev, and emphasized that the entire nation wants corruption to be fought at all levels.
"This is an infantile approach, absolutely uncalled for approach. What Anna wanted about corruption, the entire nation knows corruption has to be fought and it is fighting. He has brought it to the nation's focus because for 40 years we have been thinking of Lokpal," said Keshav Rao.
"According to me, Lokpal is not a silver bullet, which will go and chase and catch a person. There are a plethora of laws, which deal with it. What we require is some kind of a golden link, which will bring them all together and coordinate," he added.
Keshav Rao pointed out that for the first time in the history of Indian Parliament, a private group was invited to assist in the drafting of a bill.
"We have invited a private group to come and sit and draft a bill. The government has taken it seriously, the nation has taken the issue seriously, the spirit of the agitation seriously. And we are doing it, but you must give scope for everybody to speak," he said.
Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare began their daylong fast against corruption at the Parliament Street here earlier this morning.
Both Baba Ramdev and Hazare, who will highlight the demand for the return of black money stashed away by Indians abroad during their fast, visited Mahatma Gandhi's memorial at Rajghat earlier this morning. The two spent some time meditating at Rajghat. Baba Ramdev also visited the nearby Shahid Park.
This is for the first time that Baba Ramdev and Hazare are sitting on a joint fast. Team Anna members Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and Manish Sisodia will be joining Hazare and Ramdev during today's fast. (ANI)
What Baba Ramdeo and Anna are doing is not at all infantile.
It is the need of the hour.
The corruption brigade is raising its head just as they think the Anna-Ramdeo forces have weakened.
Want proof?
A The Lok Pal bill has been put in cold storage by the very parliament which had assured it would be passed when Anna had gone on fast.
B.The case against Haryana Police Chief, SPS Rathore is being withdrawn by the CBI.
Who is this Rathore?
He is the person who sexually harassed Ruchika Girhotra and drove her to suicide and then harassed her family to
withdraw the case. He seems to have succeeded this time as the poor family has lost the will to fight against such powerful forces.
Do you still wonder why there are Maoists?
C. The IMA and other medical organisation are criticizing Aamir Khan for the last "Satyamev Jayate" episode which was very critical of the going-ons of this profession. I think, Aamir has not even aired even 1% of the loot that these doctors are perpetuating.
