Interacting with reporters here, Hazare said none of the present political parties can give a bright future to the country.
“The
ruling and the opposition parties have blackened their hands in coal
scam. BJP, who is raising its voice, is also involved and Congressis
also involved. All the corrupt people are pointing fingers at each
other. The public will have to think that neither the ruling nor the
opposition party will make the future of the country. If we want abright
future then honest people should be voted to the Parliament,” Hazare
said.
The Comptroller and Auditor
General (CAG) had recently reported that the government had allocated
coal blocks, power projects and land for Delhi’s flagship airport at a
fraction of market prices, causing a political furore across the
country.
Earlier in the day, key Team
Anna member Arvind Kejriwal organised mass protests across New Delhi,
against the alleged Coal scam.
Kejriwal
led protest march to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), while IAC
activists, braving baton charge, tear gas and water cannon assault
protested outside the parliament, along with Congress chief Sonia
Gandhi’s and BJP president Nitin Gadkari’s residences.
Kejriwal,
who was arrested and released by Delhi Police twice during the day,
called off the protest in the evening, claiming that the objective of
the “movement” had been accomplished. (ANI). - UW
