New Delhi : Social activist and anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare (80) on Tuesday announced to launch his movement in Delhi on the issue of corruption in either last week of January or first week of February.
In a statement emailed from his home in Ralegan Siddhi village in Maharashtra, he said when the government or the prime minister starts playing fraud on the people, he sees no bright future of the country and the society.
He said the movement will expose how the Modi government diluted the Lokpal Act enacted because of the pressure he built in 2011 and did not bother to appoint the Lokpal at all after the farce of a false commitment to a “Bhrashtachar Mukt Bharat (corruption-free India).
Hazare said he kept looking at Prime Minister Modi with high hopes and kept writing to him for the last three years, reminding him to appoint the Lokpal, but he has now lost all faith in his words. How can people trust the PM who took no step to create the machinery for wiping out corruption, he asked.
