New Delhi: A parallel war erupted between the Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal and anti-corrution crusader Anna Hazare on how effective the new Lokpal Bill is.
Kejriwal in his tweet questioned that how could Anna Hazare support the Lokpal Bill in its current form.
"I am really surprised, how can Anna accept the sarkari Lokpal Bill? Sarkari Lokpal is a 'jokepal'," Kejriwal tweeted.
"Whatever Anna may say, we will continue our fight for Jan Lokpal Bill till our last breath," Kejriwal went on to say.
He also expressed his skepticism by asking who is misguiding Anna.
Kejriwal's comment comes after Anna Hazare suggested moving ahead with the amended Bill presented in the Rajya Sabha and said improvements in the legislation could be brought through amendments later.
"Time has come to move (ahead) with the present draft of Lokpal Bill and get it passed. Improvements can be made later through amendments once it becomes a Constitutional reality," Hazare told as his indefinite fast for a citizen's ombudsman entered the fifth day on Saturday.
Interestingly, both the principle political parties the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have also come out strongly in passing the Lokpal Bill in its current form, but the AAP is still expressing its reluctance.
