New Delhi:
Social activist Anna Hazare Monday said if Human Resource
Development Minister Kapil Sibal feels that the Lokpal Bill cannot
check corruption, he should quit from the committee formed to
draft the anti-graft legislation.
"If he feels (Sibal) that Lokpal Bill cannot do anything, then he
should resign from the committee and concentrate on other work in
favour of the nation," Hazare told reporters before leaving for
Mumbai.
Sibal, however, claimed he had been misquoted.
"We want to draft a strong bill to tackle corruption in any sector
where it is rampant... I will sit together with Anna Hazare to
draft a comprehensive bill so that we achieve our goals," Sibal
told reporters here.
"I have only said that if you want to educate children, then it
has nothing to do with Lokpal Bill," he added.
Sibal and Hazare are on the 10-member committee set up for
drafting the Lokpal Bill.
