Dalit should have been in panel to draft Lokpal Bill: Paswan
PTI | 02:04 AM,Apr 12,2011
Nagpur, Apr 9 (PTI) Lok Janshakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan today
said a dalit should have been in the committee constituted to draft
the Lokpal Bill. "One dalit activist or leader could have been
accommodated in the five-member representation from the civil society
in the committee constituted for Lokpal Bill when social activist Anna
Hazare launched an agitation in New Delhi," he told reporters here. In
a veiled attack on yoga guru Baba Ramdev, he said some undesirable
persons had shared the stage with Hazare. Paswan said that noted
social reformer Mahatma Jyotirao Phule should be conferred with the
Bharat Ratna award. In a separate briefing, Republican Party of India
president Ramdas Athawale too lamented that a dalit had not found a
place panel to draft the Lokpal Bill. Athawale said his party workers
are against forging an alliance with both Congress and NCP during the
elections for 10 municipal corporations in Maharashtra next year.
