Anna: Dangerous for India to have such a weak PM

December 09, 2011 14:08

Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Lokpal: I have suggested that if there is a compliant, then it first goes to the Lokpal. If the Lokpal finds it's true, it then goes to the CBI.

The CBI is not answerable to the government of the Lokpal. The case then comes to the Lokpal court. The CBI will not be subject to any control, will work on the merit of the investigation, but will not be under the Lokpal.

Anna Hazare says: PM could have had a strong Lokpal if he wanted, it is dangerous to have such a weak PM. We will campaign against Kapil Sibal in his constituency.
