Anna cries foul, asks Sonia to stop 'smear campaign' by Cong leaders
'Mass Protests If Lokpal Bill Not Passed By Aug 15'
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: Anna Hazare and the Congress were locked in a fresh confrontation on Monday after the antigraft campaigner accused Congress leaders of seeking to derail the process of drafting the Lokpal Bill by a smear campaign, and asked party president Sonia Gandhi to restrain
her colleagues.
Hazare told Sonia the government nominees on the joint committee were more vulnerable to a counter-attack from civil society, though he insisted his colleagues did not want to turn their attention away from the task of the Lokpal Bill.
In a separate statement, he made it clear that he would not relax his August 15 deadline for passage of the Lokpal Bill. Failure to meet the deadline would "invite mass protests by the people", he warned.

New Delhi: Gandhian Anna Hazare hit out at the Congress saying it was conducting a campaign to tar civil society members on the Lokpal panel. The activist also warned, pointing to the anti-corruption mood sweeping the country, of consequences of the efforts to derail the Lokpal campaign.
In a letter to Sonia, Hazare referred to the Shanti Bhushan CD, Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh's charge that the lawyer had engaged in stamp duty evasion and HRD minister Kapil Sibal's alleged statement about dilution of civil society's stand on the Lokpal Bill, as he urged the Congress chief to intervene.
The anti-corruption campaigner, who took no names, referred right at the start to the letter Sonia had written him a day before he ended his fast, underlining her own concern about graft and also stressing the urgent necessity to combat it in public life. He termed Sonia's letter as "reassuring".
Expressing concern over developments in the past few days, Hazare wrote, "One of their strategies is to smear the reputations of the civil society members in the committee... when blatantly false accusations are made, fabricated CDs are planted, then one feels that the purpose is not an honest public scrutiny but to tarnish reputations."
