AIMMM president Syed Shahabuddin said that Hazare’s Initiative has created a new thrust to eliminate corruption from society.
It appealed the Government to enter into dialogue with Anna and his colleagues who have authored the Jan Lokpal Bill to work out an acceptable solution to save the precious life of Anna Hazare
“The Mushawarat support his call to the Central Government to scrap its Lokpal Bill and either adopt the Jan Lok Sahba Bill prepared by eminent members of the Civil Society or to establish a Committee with 50 % representation of the Civil Society to draft and adequate Bill” he said in a statement.
The Mushawarat, however, pointed out that corruption has seeped into every fibre of our social life and, in the face of injustice and delay, the common man approaches the powerful to seek sifararish to the authorities at every stage and pays for the favour received. The Mushawarat is therefore of the view that the society needs a new moral climate based on the Rule of Law and expeditious action to address all grievances, big or small.
Aligarh Muslim University Students Union has also backed Anna Hazare in his fight against corruption and asked the government to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill as soon as possible.
