New Delhi: After
severing ties with India Against Corruption (IAC) activist Arvind
Kejriwal over the formation of a political party, veteran
ant-corruption activist Anna Hazare Saturday decided to recast his
core team that was disbanded a month ago.
Hazare's new team will comprise individuals known for integrity to
take his anti-graft movement foward, said the activist's close
aide and former Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Kiran Bedi
here Saturday.
"Individuals, who are an institution themselves, be it retired
civil servants, corporate honchos or artists, Anna is looking for
a new inclusive core group with individuals, who are one call away
from the powers that be but are known for their non-partisanship
and are reformist by nature," Bedi said.
She also named three such individuals, whom Hazare may approach to
be part of his new core committee.
The three are former army chief General V.K. Singh, who had raised
his voice against corruption throughout his tenure; former Uttar
Pradesh director general of police Prakash Singh, who filed a
public interest litigation seeking police reforms to rid the
service from political interference and got the order passed; and
Bhure Lal, who enjoys the confidence of the Supreme Court for
heading independent committees to examine social issues as a
friend fo the court.
Hazare will convene the first core meeting of the new panel Nov 24
and 25, Bedi said.
"Anna is going to talk to these individuals and on the basis of
their availability to be part of the movement against corruption.
If they can join Anna's movement, they all will meet Nov 24 and
25," she said.
