Update on Anna Hazare:

Attacking the government for keeping CBI out of Lokpal, Hazare today accused it of "cheating" the people by bringing a weak Bill to "save" corrupt politicians. A day after the Union Cabinet approved the Lokpal Bill
leaving CBI out of its purview, Hazare said the ombudsman would not be strong and effective if the premier investigation agency was not kept under it.

 "If the CBI is outside then how will the Lokpal be strong. This system will save corrupt politicians. If CBI comes under Lokpal then P Chidambaram would be in jail. You are saving corrupt politicians and say it is a strong Lokpal,"
he said. 

Rejecting the bill, Hazare also took strong exception to government bringing a separate Citizens' Charter Bill, saying a common man will have to run from pillar to post to get his grievances redressed under the proposed system. "It is cheating people who will teach them a lesson," Hazare said. 

"How can the Lokpal be effective when Citizens Charter is out of its purview. A person will have to go through various levels for redressal of his rievances... what to do? It's like fooling people," he said.
