Modi slams Lalu for ‘unkind’ remarks on Hazare

Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar today lambasted RJD president Lalu Prasad for his “unkind” remarks against the anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare during debate in Parliament last week.

People of Bihar were ashamed that one of their leaders not only had a dig at Hazare during debate in Parliament,but also sought to make fun at the civil society’s crusade against corruption,Modi said.

However,Modi said,he was not surprised at Prasad’s stand as he himself was accused in various corruption cases.

Modi exuded confidence that though the Parliamentary standing committee included Prasad as a member,others would respect the public sentiment against corruption and finalize a strong Lokpal Bill incorporating the three points demanded by the civil society.
