Days after the Union government accepted the demands of social leader Anna Hazare concerning the Lokpal Bill, Republican Party of India leader Ramdas Athawale on Tuesday came out in support of the anti-corruption crusader.
“I support Anna’s movement but I demand that two members of the Dalit community should be included in the draft committee,” Mr. Athawale said at a press conference here on Tuesday.
‘Arrest Anupam Kher’
“Persons like Arun Kejriwal who support actor Anupam Kher in changing the Constitution should be made to resign from the draft committee,” he said. He demanded that the State government immediately arrest Mr. Kher for his remarks. “Strict action should be taken against Mr. Kher.”
