New Delhi: Finding itself on the back foot in the wake of a rash of scams, Government plans to come out with an Ordinance to put in place a mechanism to fight corruption among public servants including politicians.
Sources said the issue was discussed at a meeting of the Congress Core Group here yesterday in which Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi were present.
The meeting discussed a note prepared by the Prime Minister’s office in the light of Gandhi’s five-point action plan to fight corruption suggested in her address to the Congress Plenary here two weeks ago.
Sources said in case the laws concerned needed to be amended to put in place such a mechanism, an ordinance could be promulgated for the purpose.
