'Present format of Lokpal Bill could not weed out corruption'

Allahabad: A 15-member team of district unit of India Against Corruption under the leadership of Shimlashri met the lawyers of Allahabad high courton Friday and urged their support in Anna Hazare's agitation against corruption. They also distributed copies of the letter addressed to the people of country by Hazare.

Joint secretary, Allahabad unit, Sunita said that lawyers were of the view that the present format ofLokpal Bill of the Central government would not serve the purpose to eradicate corruption from the country. They also condemned the stand of the Centre and its ministers that no organisation should be allowed to encroach upon the functioning of the parliament. It is the parliament which can enact the law and no one else.

The lawyers added that the stand of the Central government was against the desire of crores of people of the country who want removal of corruption from the country through a strong Lokpal Bill.

They accepted that the parliament can enact laws but is also true that the parliament is made by the people and for the people to maintain the democratic set up of the country. But the present format of Lok Pal Bill shall not serve the purpose to eradicate corruption from the country, they said.
