New Delhi: Controversy dogged the Joint Committee set up to draft an effective Lok Pal even before it starts its work with Gandhian Anna Hazare today asking HRD Minister Kapil Sibal to resign from it “if he feels nothing will come” out of this institution.
His colleagues in the campaign for a strong Lok Pal Bill, Kiran Bedi and Arvind Kejriwal, also slammed Sibal, who, however, denied having made any such statement and that he was with Hazare for drafting a strong anti-corruption legislation.
The 73-year-old social activist, who fought a successful battle for constitution of a 10-member committee of ministers and civil society representatives, said “If Sibal feels that nothing will happen due to the Lokpal Bill then he should resign from the joint committee as soon as possible.
