CPI-M condemns Anna's detention

August 16, 2011 09:41

Reacting to Anna's arrest, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) said: "This is an attack on the democratic rights of citizens to protest peacefully. It shows how the Congress leadership is intolerant to any anti-corruption movement as their government is itself steeped in high-level corruption."

"The Polit Bureau reiterates that the official Lok Pal Bill presented in parliament is weak and inadequate. A strong popular movement has to be built up to ensure that an effective legislation is adopted by Parliament."
