Anna Hazare Says before ending his fast---
- People have to be vigilant.
- Only then will they benefit from this law
Anna also
suggests creating a watchdog to check corruption.
Parliament on Wednesday passed the Lokpal bill with the
Lok Sabha adopting the measure as amended by the Rajya Sabha after a short
discussion, amid the din created by members for and against the bifurcation of
Andhra Pradesh.
Members from Samajwadi Party and Shiv Sena, opposed the
bill and staged a walkout in protest, as their counterparts from other parties,
including Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and the Leader of the Opposition
Sushma Swaraj, supported the measure.
Eight new central laws have been brought
We should
complete the unfinished work of fighting corruption.
Six anti-corruption bills
are pending.
If necessary, can we not extend this session of Parliament,” Mr
Gandhi said as the debate began on the key bill to create an anti-graft
ombudsman.
The Lok Sabha had passed it in December 2011 and urged
the House to adopt the Bill returned by the Rajya Sabha along with the
amendments.
The Bill aimed at dealing with the menace of corruption
and brings under its purview the Prime Minister with certain safeguards and
other public servants.
RTI was UPA's most important assault on corruption.
Lokpal Bill alone is not enough to fight corruption, we need a comprehensive
Anti-Corruption Code.
