Arvind Kejriwal, the India Against activist on Friday alleged the Indian government that they are no more interested to talk on the controversial Lokpal Bill. Kejriwal has said that the government is just pretending to hold talks on the matter.
The activist further alleged that the government is doing this just for the sake of publicity and are actually pretending to hold talks on the bill. Kejriwal has alleged that if the government was really interested in talking about the matter seriously, then they would have directly spoken to them instead of making statements in the media.
Home Minister P Chidambaram had said in a press conference that the government is ready to talk over the Lokpal bill issue but it is left for the activist Anna Hazare to decide on the matter. Kejriwal had responded after the Home Minister had issued the statement.
The India Against activist added that Hazare would respond only if there was any invitation from the centre. Meanwhile, Hazare and his team has announced a campaign to turn off the lights on 15th August from 8pm t0 9 pm to support his cause.
Just after activist Anna Hazare addressed a conference here Monday evening to announced his anti-corruption strategy, his team member Arvind Kejriwal appealed to people to switch off lights in their homes for an hour as a mark of support for their cause.
People were asked to switch off lights for an hour starting 8 p.m. Monday.
Kejriwal said: ‘I asked people to switch off the lights for one hour, as the kind of independence we have today in our country is incomplete.’
‘Nothing has been left untouched by corruption. Unfortunately, the government seems to be promoting it rather than preventing it. The government’s Lokpal bill is a complete eyewash and will shield corruption,’ he said.
‘There is injustice, corruption and intolerance. The government is out to crush people. They are crushing people’s movement,’ he said.
