It was ironical that Ms. Gandhi should express support for Mr. Hazare’s fight against corruption, Dr. Swamy told journalists here.
Pointing out that Mr. Hazare wanted Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar to quit the committee formed to draft the Lokpal Bill because of corruption charges against him, Dr. Swamy said the social activist should take the same stand on Ms. Gandhi too.
Dr. Swamy said there was no need for a new law to fight corruption. “What is needed is determination and I am sure Mr. Hazare has it in abundance.”
2G scam probe
On the 2G spectrum scam, the Janata Party president said he was confident that the Central Bureau of Investigation would not do a shoddy job because the Supreme Court was monitoring the probe.
As for the next government in Tamil Nadu, he said it would not be stable as no party would enjoy a comfortable majority. There would be another election soon.
