Indefinite Fast from 25th July 2012

After referring the lokpal bill to Standing committee,the bill was presented to both houses of parliament in the winter session.However, according to India Against Corruption it was a weak bill lacked effective measures.The bill was passed in the Loksabha, but it could not be passed by Rajyasabha.In the budget session the bill was decided to be referred to select committee for further recommendations. Now India against corruption has come to a conclusion that 15 tainted ministers in the central cabinet are behind the delay in the process of passing of a strong Lokpal bill.Therefore India Against Corruption demanded establishment of Special Investigation Team to investigate corruption charges against 15 tainted cabinet ministers and establishment of fast track courts to prosecute MPs against whom grave criminal charges are pending.These demands being rejected by Government, Manish Sisodia along with Arvind Kejriwal and Gopal Rai, will be sitting on an indefinite fast at Jantar Mantar from 25th July 2012.
