After taking out a rally at India Gate protesting against Team Annas Jan Lokpal Bill,representatives of minority and backward communities on Friday reasserted their demand for a Bahujan Lokpal Bill in which they wish to bring in corporate houses,NGOs and media houses in the ambit of the legislation. Alleging that the Bills proposed so far Jan Lokpal,governments version and NCPRIs version are not inclusive,members of the All India Confederation of SC/ST Organisations pushed for their version that would also have representation of dalits,backwards and minorities in the Lokpal Committee. Udit Raj of the All India Confederation of SC/ST Organisations,addressed a press conference saying,There will not be much impact to check graft unless corporate houses,NGOs and media houses are brought in the ambit of the Bill. The way the government is considering the features of all the other Bills, such as Governments version of the Lokpal Bill,Jan Lokpal Bill and NCPRI Bill,the suggestions of Bahujan Lokpal Bill must also be considered, he said. In the Lokpal committee,representation of dalits,backwards and minorities should be there,as in government services, he said. The government Bill which is pending for consideration before the Standing Committee of the Parliament is not strong enough to book the corrupt,he claimed. Questioning Hazares credibility,Udit Raj asked,Why was Annaji silent when North Indians in Maharashtra and Muslims in Gujarat were targeted?
