Karnataka Lokayukta Santosh Hegde, a Lokpal Bill drafting committee member, says he is not in favour of Anna Hazare undertaking his planned fast from August 16 if a strong Lokpal Bill was not prepared.

Mr. Hegde also said on Saturday he was apprehensive about the final outcome of the proposed anti-corruption bill as it could be a watered down version of what was originally envisaged.

“Annaji must continue his fight against corruption, personally. He must not go on any hunger strike immediately. He must go around the country and inform people about the consequences of corruption and on development,” Mr. Hegde told PTI. Mr. Hazare early this week threatened to go on fast again from August 16 if a strong Lokpal Bill is not ready.

Very Right! Justice Hegde, We shouldn't push the Government beyond a point as it too needs to complete the consultation process before a ground is prepared to introduce the Lokpal Bill in Parliament, which ultimately need to pass it into law.
